When Goulart was tossed out last April, Kubitschek's enemies-among them Artur da Costa e Silva, Brazil's hard-bitten old War Minister - decided to settle matters with the ex-President as well.

At least one of these is run by Manuel Artime, a leader in the Bay of Pigs landing, who occasionally pops up in Miami.
