Correspondent George de Carvalho is beginning to rank as an expert on exotic rivers. Five years ago, as our Rio de Janeiro bureau chief, he suggested and did the reporting for the color story on the Amazon (Nov. 23, 1959). Not long after he became Beirut bureau chief in 1962, he began to visualize color pages of the Nile.
