One was a cab driver obviously venting pent-up aggressions, while two others were doctors who drove as if they were bent on drumming up some business. Though no one has yet been killed in autobol, bruises and broken ribs are regularly dished out by such cunguceiros (bad guys) as Vasco da Gama's Walter Lacet, a director of TV soap operas...
...time gave rise to public edifices." So if the temple was a magnified house, a house could look like a temple.

It is during an eclipse that scientists can fully observe the sun's spectacular halo, or corona, believed to be caused by the outrushing of solar gases. Understanding the corona, in turn, may shed new light...
