...that many Brazilians, disillusioned by what has happened to them since, are ready to take him back, even if they still think he done them wrong. His departure last August shook Brazil to its foundation. Military brass attempted to bar demagogic and leftist Vice President Joāo ("Jango") Goulart from Brasilia's Palace of the Dawn, and for 13 days, Brazil seemed on the edge of a civil war. To keep peace, and to preserve its constitution, the country finally let Goulart take office as President but converted it self to a parliamentary regime so that Goulart could...
Four months after Janio Quadros' abdication as President of Brazil, Latin America's largest nation is lurching along in a way that may turn dangerous. At first the question was whether Labor-Boss João ("Jango'') Goulart as President or Tancredo Neves, a financier-turned-politician, as Prime Minister would actually lead the country.

"No amount of argument that it was done in self-defense would wash off the wrong." Brazil's President João Goulart protested "against all forms of international coercion, including the threatened atomic destruction of humanity." Malaya's Prime Minister Abdul Rahman called the Soviet tests "deplorable," said that they showed "utter contempt and disregard for world opinion...
...Goulart is trying to play the old Quadros game of international "independence," which means wooing the East while panhandling from the West. He has been angling for an invitation to Washington ever since he moved into the presidential palace. Last week, when incoming U.S. Ambassador Lincoln Gordon presented his credentials, he brought with him an invitation from President Kennedy. The same day, Goulart called in Communist Poland's visiting Foreign Minister, Adam Rapacki, awarded him the Order of the Southern Cross-the same decoration that Quadros hung on Cuba's Marxist mastermind, Che Guevara, setting off the furor...
