Analyzing Brazil's orgy at carnaval time is almost as much fun as participating in it. American Psychiatrist Dr. Reba Campbell feels that it offers Brazilians "a chance to live deep in fantasy," fulfilling everyone's "need to be important."

Wayne Gibson, an American living and working in Brazil as an industrial consultant and private therapist, has watched half a dozen carnavals.

Humans run on still-mysterious physiological clocks, their body temperatures dipping as much as 2 degrees in the middle of the night and rising toward morning.

He could always take a deep breath and say, "I am safe there, that is my breathing, that is my life, that is me." His breathing was his anchor, it was his starting point. And he thought that it was not by coincidence that God had appeared to Moses in a whirlwind...
...alumni, before they went off to law school, medical school, or were absorbed into papa's firm. Harvard students then, if given responsibility to decide whether to take an exam when regularly scheduled or instead to take it the following make-up period, might have dug themselves into impossibly deep holes...
