Unexpected Visitor. In Brazil, the Russians have developed surprisingly close commercial, cultural and personal ties with the country's tough, anti-Communist military government. Last August, Russian Foreign Trade Minister Nikolai Patolichev visited Rio and signed a four-year $100 million credit agreement, making Brazil the biggest recipient of Russian aid in Latin America after Cuba. In Argentina, Soviet relations are almost as cordial with Strongman Juan Carlos Ongania's military government; total trade between the two has gone from $18 million in 1964 to $110 million last year...

Castello Branco ran Brazil with graphs, charts and a cold eye for results; Costa hopes to "humanize" the revolution that first put the military into power in 1964. "Social humanism," Costa told Brazilians last week, "will be the most profound root of my government." Gently divorcing himself from the harsh economic and social controls that made Castello Branco un popular, Costa promised more homes, hospitals, schools and "comforts" for the poor, and a broad program of public works...
