...single man and ratified by a handful of others." So said Brazil's losing presidential candidate, Euler Bentes Monteiro, but he was wrong. To the surprise of no one, the country's electoral college-heavily weighted in favor of the pro-government Alliance for National Renewal (ARENA)-chose General Joao Baptista Figueiredo, 60, to succeed retiring President Ernesto Geisel for a six-year term beginning in March.
