Fully one in every four workers is employed by the government, which gives them 44 holidays a year and retirement at full pay as early as 55. Theaters in cosmopolitan Montevideo offer such lively fare as Peter Shaffer's Black Comedy and Strindberg's Miss Julia; in the city's quiet little tearooms, a cup of coffee brings free pastries, potato salad, sausages, octopus, pickled cauliflower and caramel pies.
