About three-sevenths of South America is covered by Brazil, which borders every South American state except Chile and Ecuador as it extends 2965 miles north-south, and 2691 miles in an east-west direction...
...free-enterprise competition with state ownership or direction of key industries. Some, most notably West Germany, are basically capitalist. Firmly rooted in the West, such social democracies as Norway and West Germany have more in common with the capitalist U.S. than has the U.S. with, say, capitalist states like Ecuador or the Ivory Coast...
...infects people of all ages, occupations and educational backgrounds. However, most of the professionals are young. One of the most innovative artists in the field, Bay Area-based Paul Marioni, 36, had previously worked as a garage body-and-fender man (though he has degrees in English and philosophy). Ecuador-born Frank Del Campo, 44, who works on Manhattan's Upper West Side, went from soldier to singer to antique dealer before becoming a full-time artist. Philadelphia's Ray King, 27, until recently had to make ends meet by restoring old stained-glass windows...
...cultural history paralleling Darwin's theory of natural selection--that cultural forms either adapt and survive or give way to "fitter" varieties. It is based on considerably more concrete evidence than the pioneering labors of Leakey and his father. Harris has made numerous field trips to Mozambique, India, Ecuador and Brazil in search of ancient cultures. And one can theorize with a fair degree of accuracy about what, say, the Aztecs ate and wore based on the archaelogical remains. These are far more accessible than those of Austropithocus.

But publicly they would doubtless join the rest of the continent in denouncing the U.S. for a breach of faith. Certainly the rejection would sour American relations with Latin America and intensify distrust and hostility...
