Around Recife, where new skyscrapers jostle ancient slums, Italy's Pirelli plans to build a big, new electric-cable factory, and Willys-Overland do Brasil is busy on the Northeast's first auto-assembly plant. In seven of the states, work is under way on 1,000 miles of new roads that will help nordestinos bring in the goods they need and get their own products out to a larger market.

Last week Bertram was back with a brand-new, 38-ft. "heavy weather" boat powered by twin 550-h.p. General Motors diesels. But where was the weather?
