Carnaval, as everyone knows, is the time when Brazil plunges into the world's biggest binge, a wild four-day pageant driven by the intoxicating beat of the samba. There are no politics to carnaval, and no Brazilian government-however tough-minded-would dare deny its people their great annual excursion into tun and fantasy (see box following page). Yet there is a slightly unreal air to Brazil this week, as carnaval dances toward its pre-Lent climax. Since the military crackdown last December, Brazilians have had to put up with a tough, moralistic, even prudish regime. While revelers...
Today, in Vietnam, the United States seeks to achieve by negotiations what it has been unable to achieve by military force--the continued freedom of Americans to exploit the third world. It is to protect these freedoms that the U.S. has set up military dictatorships in Thailand, the Congo, Brazil, Argentina, Guatemala, Iran, etc.; it is to protect these freedoms that the U.S. has razed whole villages (Ben Suc) and almost totally destroyed major cities (Ben Tre--a city of 35,000--was 85 per cent destroyed by U.S. bombing during the Tet offensive.

Last month Cardin signed a deal with Gunther Oppenheim of Modelia to market Cardin women's clothes...
What will most likely be the third biggest city in the world 20 years from now? Wrong. Not London, not Los Angeles, not Peking-but Sāo Paulo, topped only by Tokyo and New York. Gaining some 300,000 new settlers every year, Brazil's Sāo Paulo is the world s fastest-growing city and, with 5,430,000 inhabitants, is now the world's eighth largest. This week at long last, Sao Paulo could display an art museum worthy of its growing stature...
...Guardia in both appearance and personality. In 1947, noting that Sāo Paulo (and indeed all Brazil) was sadly deficient in art, he proclaimed, "A nation without art is backward and barbaric," and set out to remedy this defect...
