Mountains, jungle, savanna, pampas, desert and suddenly, amidst all the distances, a city of four million, or eight. Against the Big Sky of the Brazilian interior, the wide, windy vistas of Brasilia, with some human touches creeping in around the edges of the totalitarian master design−it will be a great capital in 1990 when it gets past 1984. From the plane, a fabulous fiery sunset over the estuary of the Rio de la Plata, lights coming on in Uruguay and Argentina on either side of the river. Another sunset, seen from sea level, the eye drawn up walls...
...brevity of the visit is remarked at each stop. You point out that if you stayed the fortnight you would wish in Country A, you couldn't go on to B and C, and how long has it been, by the way, since your new Brazilian friend was in Chile, or your Peruvian lunch companion in Argentina? A long time, it usually turns out, and sometimes never. This conversation, all the way around the continent, serves as a steady reminder that South America still is more of an entity on the map than in the minds of the South...
...Paris, it's New Jimmy's and Le Regine. In Monte Carlo, the snob spots for drinking and dancing are the Maona (Tahitian), Para-dize (Brazilian) and New Jimmyz (art deco).

The cabaret queen is also branching out into fashion design. Her first collection, introduced...

Many California radicals follow the teachings of Mao, Che Guevara, French Revolutionary Regis Debray and Carlos Marighella, the Brazilian terrorist tactician. Marighella advocates violence as a way to encourage government authorities to overreact. He theorizes that a government will inevitably impose harshly repressive measures that will "radicalize" nonviolent citizens and thus bring on the revolution...
...horizon of Portugal's present looms Chile's past. The spectre of counterrevolution is forming: Spinola, bearer of rightist hopes, has temporarily left his Brazilian facist friends for Paris, only a train ride away; the exile "Portugese Liberation Army" masses on the Spanish border, funded by Portugese capital and very possibly, by the CIA. Encouraged by the Church's warnings of impending (and factually non-existent) land collectivization, small-holding peasants burn Communist headquarters and attack the revolution's supporters...
