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. In fact, neither does. Nobody does. In remote Brasilia, the fractious Parliament carries on politics as usual. The far left hopes to proceed from chaos to power. It is up to dedicated second-echelon technicians to slow inflation and keep...
...proceeded with the test in spite of the appeal of the United Nations and other countries not to do so." said India's Nehru. "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."

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...
Brazil's harassed new President Joao Goulart sent a letter saying that he could not possibly get around to opening the exhibition before the end of the month; but those in charge of the sixth Sao Paulo Bienal decided not to wait to announce the prizewinners. The art world was impatiently waiting; the Bienal ranks with the Venice Biennale and the Carnegie International Art show in Pittsburgh as tops in prestige. And this year the Sao Paulo show is huge: 4,000 works by 1,049 artists from 51 nations-much too much to be absorbed...
