...familiar and painful word to Brazil. From 1956 to 1961, Juscelino Kubitschek, a President in a hurry to develop his nation, printed carloads of currency to finance industrial projects and build the inland capital of Brasilia. His presidential successors, first the erratic Jânio Quadros and now Joao Goulart, an opportunistic labor leader, have kept the presses rolling-as much to catch up with prices as to continue building Brazil. At the accelerated pace inflation has lately taken, an end must come some time soon, and Goulart undoubtedly knows it. But politics is politics. Supported by the left, Goulart...

Brazil. After a six-week testing of wills with the country's fractious Congress, President Joao ("Jango") Goulart and his Prime Minister, Francisco Brochado da Rocha, finally managed to achieve a kind of truce. In the Brasilia capital, Brochado da Rocha bluntly told Congress: "We are living at the door of a revolution. This government lacks the power to govern." That, plus his threat to resign, seemed to sink in. Legislators granted the government a package of emergency powers to keep the country together until next October's congressional elections, plus a promise to vote on returning Brazil...
