...plains of the state of Goias, where the sky is so immense that half a dozen thunder storms can often be seen brewing in it while the sun shines. For years, the gov ernment has offered ten-year tax exemptions on some land and various other lures to attract settlers to the country's largely undeveloped interior. The drive has also attracted hundreds of Grileiros (land grabbers), who have come and gone, buying up acreage for virtually nothing. Since Brazil built the city of Brasilia out in the vast wilderness for its capital, however, the land buying has developed...
...business malaise. There are the "city" men in bowlers and striped trousers, far too many of them. Then there are the social inferiors: "commerce" men. Until the class system is removed from business, the worker will continue to meet management with a built-in grudge, and commerce will not attract the level of businessmen that it needs.

Last week that conviction brought Wolfson, chairman of the Merritt-Chapman & Scott construction complex and one of the U.S.'s most controversial corporate raiders, a one-year prison sentence and $100,000 fine. Federal Judge Edmund L. Palmieri also sentenced...
...McCarthy may convince Senator Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.) and other Democrats in private disagreement with the President that an alternative to Johnson does exist. It may cause President Johnson to moderate his Vietnam policies. It may convince the Republicans that by nominating a dove they will attract a large and well-organized number of Democrats. Finally, the campaign promises to have a good effect on the country by bringing back into the political system those persons whose frustrations over the war have led them to take actions outside our democratic structure...
