...Lula doesn't need that much charisma to stand out against his main opponent, the former Sao Paulo governor Geraldo Alckmin, a dull technocrat jokingly said to have all the appeal of the chuchu, a tasteless vegetable. If Alckmin loses it will probably be more because of who he is than for what he might do. And it will probably be in spite of what Lula's party has done...
...course some lazy journalists won't like Geraldo Rivera's show American Vice: The Doping of a Nation (PRESS, Dec. 22). But bravo for Geraldo! His live telecast of drug busts gave us a look at the real world, not the slick, Madison Avenue version of it served up by a senior anchorman sitting in air-conditioned comfort. Rivera investigated the drug mess in the only logical way -- by going out and seeing it. Funny that in wartime the frontline journalist is a courageous, noble hero. In covering the drug war, however, Rivera is depicted by TIME as a gonzo...
Your criticism of Geraldo Rivera's recent program was unwarranted. The show only depicted the reality of the drug war in this country. I agree that caution must be used in any police operation, but at the same time the officers you saw on the screen would not have jeopardized their safety just to be on camera.

...Minister for National Intergration, Ciro Gomes. Polls taken last month showed the Mayor of Sao Paulo, the centrist Jose Serra, beating Lula in a multi-candidate matchup. However, Serra is a notriously poor campaigner and he has been mayor for only a year. The governor of Sao Paulo state, Geraldo Alckmin, is another potential contender but he is not yet well known outside of his state. At this point, however, the Brazilian electorate appears to be sick of politicians and the race is a complete toss-up. -By Andrew Downie/Rio de Janeiro...
...George Dewey, a hero in the battle for the Philippines, to then-U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt after the war. If Asercion has indeed found Aguinaldo's flag, "it is an incredible artifact with immense historical value that has been sitting forgotten," says San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Geraldo Sandoval, who has sponsored a motion to have the War Memorial authenticate the discovery. Not surprisingly, Philippine officials now want the flag back. "It opens up a lot of sensitive things in our relationship," says Sen. Richard Gordon, who, along with representatives of the National Historical Institute, visited the flag...
