...formal treaty signing, oth er nations are only too eager to join hands and sign, too.

August in Brazil, by tradition and local superstition, is a miserable month. It was August when President Getúlio Vargas shot himself in 1954, and when President Janio Quadros put out to sea in a fit of pea-green pique in 1961.

...huge publishing empire (31 newspapers, five magazines, 20 radio and twelve TV stations) owned by ailing Press Lord Francisco de Assis Chateaubriand and now run by a triumvirate of editors who are militantly antiCommunist. Some weeks ago, Brizola attacked the group, hinting at shady dealings with the Bank of Brazil. Diários struck back by turning loose David Nasser, 46, Brazil's best-read and most-feared columnist. In a series of four articles in the big (circ. 425,000), slick O Cruzeiro magazine, Nasser laid into Brizola as "the beast of the Apocalypse," "an overfed revolutionary...
