When Goulart was tossed out last April, Kubitschek's enemies-among them Artur da Costa e Silva, Brazil's hard-bitten old War Minister - decided to settle matters with the ex-President as well. Their weapon was the National Security Council, composed of Cabinet ministers and key military leaders. While the fight against both Communism and graft remains urgent after Goulart's disastrous, Red-leaning misrule, some of the council's methods are alarming.

Striding onstage to his Steinway, he turned to his devoted audience at Manhattan's Philharmonic Hall with the suave little bow that he has made on more stages than any other pianist in history. Then Artur Rubinstein addressed himself to the feast: both of the Brahms concertos, either one of which is more than a good night's labor. But his strength and sureness only grew as he played on. Seeing him there, hearing the majestic ring of his music, it was difficult to believe...
