...politics, Brazil's deposed President Joāo Goulart has reason to rue the day women got the vote. Less than a year after Goulart came to power in 1961, Schoolteacher Doña Amélia Bastos, 59, organized the "Women's Campaign for Democracy" to fight his leftist regime, sent her female followers to bombard politicians with telegrams, letters and personal visits. The climax came in Sāo Paulo last March, when Doña Amélia's women staged an anti-Goulart "March with God for Freedom." It drew 800,000 marchers...
Since 1961, the U.S. has poured some $780 million into Brazil only to see most of it disappear down the Amazon. The prospects became so disheartening that Washington aid to the wobbly, leftist regime of João Goulart gradually dwindled to a trickle. Last week, after eight months spent in careful observation of the revolutionary government of President Humberto Castello Branco, the U.S. announced that it is ready to try again with $453 million, a package that makes Brazil the greatest U.S. economic-aid beneficiary of any nation except Pakistan and India.

Brazilians know Lacerda as a politician in perpetual motion, the man whose unceasing attacks forced Jãnio Quadros to resign and focused opposition on his successor, the Leftist João Goulart. He is a hard man to feel neutral about. In blazing headlines around the country, pro-Lacerda papers took up the cudgels for his "most noble civic and moral propositions." Anti-Lacerda papers vilified him as a "murderer" and "torturer." As he neared Rio last week, political enemies narrowly missed in an attempt to dynamite his train. Brazil's three other major political parties hastily announced...
...improving the lot of the peasants. "Only by giving liberty with reforms," says Rivera, "can we demonstrate that Fidel is a fraud." Guatemala's junta of colonels has given the country its biggest-and most surprising-boom in history. In Brazil, the question was not whether Leftist Joao Goulart would lead Latin America's biggest nation into civil war-but when. Under Humberto Castello Branco, a retired army general, the country finally seems pointed toward stability, if the reforms continue and the revolutionaries can keep from fighting among themselves...
