Yul Chávez

CARACAS — Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez spoke Monday, appearing for the first time with his hair shaved off, as he undergoes a second round of chemotherapy.

“This is my new look,” Mr. Chávez said in broken English during a televised appearance from the Miraflores presidential palace.

The cancer-stricken leader last week joked that he would soon resemble famed Hollywood actor Yul Brynner, calling himself “Yul Chávez.”
