...press freedom. In his battles for a free press below the border, Lacerda, who has twice been elected secretary of the Inter American Press Association, has earned a reputation among newsmen as "Latin America's 20th century Tom Paine." "He has done more for public morality in Brazil," says one of Rio's leading citizens, "than any other man." He has also been jailed eight times, beaten by thugs and sprayed with gunfire. Last week Editor Lacerda's crusading journalism won him Columbia University's Maria Moors Cabot Award,* given to those who make the biggest...
Lewis warned that U.S. foreign trade was falling off "substantially in the consumers' goods but perceptibly in the capital-goods industry." He brought forth a strange trade-policy recommendation for the world's leading economic power barter. "I don't think that Brazil has a right to take that $70 million which we give for coffee annually . . . without an agreement to spend an equivalent amount here. I think we have to modernize some of our trade relationships ... I don't know that we are going to be able to secure, at the best, an outlet...
Villa-Lobos: Trio for Violin, Viola & Cello (Members of the New York Quartet; Columbia).

In between plugs for the heady Brazilian climate, Lund falls off polo ponies and Lana exchanges passionate glances with Ricardo Montalban, who plays a bare-chested rancher with a coyly devilish grandfather (Louis Calhern). Since the plot offers no clear reason why the movie should run 104 Technicolored minutes, Scenarist Isobel Lennart has thrown in such extraneous items as a funnyman from the U.S. Embassy (Archer MacDonald), a brace of psychoanalysts (fast replacing mothers-in-law as Hollywood's stock...
Last week Chateaubriand's time came. Under the nationalistic constitution of Brazil, only native-born Brazilians can own, publish or edit newspapers. A telephone tip to another anti-Wainer editor, Tribuna da Imprensa's crusading Carlos Lacerda, had advised him to look into Wainer's nationality. Acting together, Lacerda and Chateaubriand assigned eleven reporters and five lawyers to sleuth out the facts, then blared them in Page One headlines and on radio and TV. The tipster was right: Wainer's mother had arrived from Bessarabia (now Soviet Russia) in 1915-three years after Sammy was born...
