...whose interests were as lengthy as his name; of a heart attack; in Sao Paulo. Slick financing and a knack for marketing new ideas brought Chateaubriand an empire of newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations that at the time of his death included 89 companies; he helped bring Dictator Getulio Vargas to power in 1930, later helped pull him down. The fire diminished in 1960 after he suffered a cerebral thrombosis flared again in 1962 when he scuttled Janio Quadros' political comeback...
...size and huge resources of their country have given Brazilians an almost mystical sense of destiny-a feeling that greatness has always been inevitable. Onetime Dictator (1930-45) and President (1951-54) Getulio Vargas cried: "We are marching toward a new future different from all we know." "We are doomed to greatness,"' lamented President Juscelino Kubitschek (1956-61). "This is the land of Canaan, unlimited and fecund," said President Jánio Quadros, who only held office for seven months in 1961 and who also rashly declared: "In five years Brazil will be a great power." Everytime they strike...
...with 1,500,000 votes counted and another 1,000,000 to go. In Guanabara (Rio), the outcome was even more striking. The state has been considered a private fief of Governor Carlos Lacerda, the mercurial politician who has proved a gadfly to every Brazilian President since Getulio Vargas in the 1950s.

Over the past 15 years, the loudest, most persistent and least predictable voice in Brazil has been that of Carlos Lacerda, 51, the handsome, mercurial politician now serving as governor of Guanabara state, which includes Rio. Brazilians know him as the man whose hounding attacks helped drive Dictator Getulio Vargas to suicide in 1954. Lacerda-who started as a Communist, then swung to the right-was the severest critic of Presidents Cafe Filho and Juscelino Kubitschek, played a major role in pushing the erratic Janio Quadros into resigning, and was a key civilian leader in the 1964 revolution that toppled...
...They Go. Like a string of sand castles, the old political machines of the late Dictator Getulio Vargas and his heir, Jango Goulart, came tumbling down in ruins. No sooner was the Institutional Act proclaimed than the military summarily dismissed 40 Congress men, stripped them of all political rights for ten years; 60 other highly placed Brazilians also found their political rights suspended, among them Goulart, Quadros, Marxist Peasant League Organizer Francisco Juliao, and Leonel Brizola, Goulart's rabble-rousing brother-in-law, who fled to Uruguay...
