During the past three months, students have demonstrated for change in 20 countries. They have taken to the streets in such usual centers of student unrest as Brazil, Japan and The Netherlands and in such normally placid places as Denmark, Switzerland and West Germany. Student protests have led to the temporary closing of at least three dozen universities in the U.S., Italy, Spain, Tunisia, Mexico, Ethiopia and other countries. Belgian student demonstrations, fanning the old Flemish-v.-Walloon controversy, brought the government down. Egyptian students, marching in spontaneous protest against government inefficiency, obliged Gamal Abdel Nasser to rearrange his Cabinet...
...worse enemy than the white man -and the white man's ways. Early Portuguese colonizers and their descendants enslaved natives by the thousands, butchered whole tribes as a warning to others and ruthlessly flogged, tortured or starved any Indian worker who stepped out of line. Brazil's Indian Protection Service, organized in 1911, was supposed to end all that, but the killing continued. The country's Indian population, once in the millions, has now dwindled to a mere...

The fire diminished in 1960 after he suffered a cerebral thrombosis flared again in 1962 when he scuttled Janio Quadros' political comeback...
...concretist movement began simultaneously in Europe and Brazil in the early 1950s, and has now washed up in the U.S. Its antecedents go all the way back to prehistoric picture writing, with such variations along the way as the anagrams of early Christian monks, Apollinaire's Calligrammes, and the alphabet drawings of Painter Paul Klee. According to concretism's boosters, it has attracted scores of practitioners-designers, architects, mathematicians, composers, communications theorists-everybody, it would seem, but poets. The goal, explains Concretist Ronald Gross, is "poetry designed to appeal to the eye as well as to the heart...
