Called to the bedside at the urgent request of his old friend President Getulio Vargas, Dr. Aranha prescribed a harsh remedy for the high-living patient: "We must live under a regime of real austerity [and] do without luxuries. We have plenty of cotton-so let us dress in cotton like Hindus. It is time to start living within our means. We must work, we must pay what we owe-and we will...
...dollar. In a move to trim ship, he decided to unload Brazil's overpriced cotton stocks on the world market, though it might mean taking a $27 million loss on the treasury books.

Said she: "I am in love with the Foreign Office . . . It's no use being mad at the judges-that...
Francisco Cardoso, the official candidate, had the backing of President Getulio Vargas and Adhemar de Barros, the state's political boss. But that turned out to be no help at all. "Shall we throw the robbers out?" croaked his long-shot opponent, a gaunt, unshaven ex-schoolmaster named Jânio Quadros. Quadros whipped the wave of Paulista protest still higher by pointing out that the government had paved streets in new real-estate developments for its speculator friends at a cost of $4,480,000 a mile, of which $4,000,000 was straight graft. "The people wanted...
