...cockily proclaiming himself Provisional President instead. That coup has been known as the "Coffee Revolution," since Brazil's former dominant States, São Paulo and Minas Geraes, had been weakened by a collapsing coffee market. Dressy but small (5 ft. 4 in.), President Vargas proclaimed himself a foe of the tottering coffee barons, set out to consolidate his political position by binding Brazil's 20 jealous, bickering States, most of whose governors supported their own armies, into a tightly centralized commonwealth.

Nimbly the Chinese chauffeur repaired it with...
...hours Adolf Hitler grew more and more excited about the "insult to German honor" which he saw in the coldness of Britain and France to all schemes for doing anything about the dent in the Leipzig. He was also emboldened by the daily bad news, from Russia, bitterest foe of Germany (see p. 18). Telling old von Neurath not to stir out of Berlin, Herr Hitler rasped orders which sent flashing off to London this stiff announcement: "The situation caused by the repeated attacks of the Reds in Spain on German warships does not allow the absence of the Foreign...
