Two weeks ago, students shouting "Down with Dictatorship" marched on Dutra's Le Corbusier-designed administration building to "confront" him. Before they got there, two platoons of police cut them off with tear gas and an antiriot hose truck. The students retreated from street corner to street cor ner, waving clubs disguised in rolled-up newspapers and regrouping each time around Palmeira. Catholic-educated Palmeira, the son of a wealthy state senator who supports Costa, is disdainful of Russian Communism, also opposes "the weight of American capital...
