...much of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, the press, the students and many businessmen, overreacted when even the meek Congress dared to defy them. Radio stations were ordered to stop broadcasting the result of the Alves vote. Censors and policemen invaded newspapers and press-agency offices. The respected daily O Estado de Sao Paulo was ordered to kill its morning edition because a critical editorial warned Costa e Silva: "You can't run a country of 80 million people like an army division."

"The Caudillo patiently listens," writes a junior minister, "while government members argue at length with one another. He talks little himself...
Completely won over, Brazil's influential 0 Estado de Sāo Paulo called Kennedy's visit "one of the greatest events in the history of the American hemisphere. He is a real soldier, a soldier of peace.'' "A patriotic crusade," cried Mexico City's Ultimas Noticias, and even some sections of the Yankee-baiting press changed their tone. In Buenos Aires, a powerful, anti-Yankee Peronista leader was forced to admit: "After Bogotá's clear and courageous speech, there is nothing to do but applaud and support Kennedy and his alianza...
