...successors have not even given Brazil development. First, the erratic Jànio Quadros let Brazil's boom falter, then resigned in a fit of pique. Next came the leftist João Goulart, who only compounded the troubles until the military stepped in, grimly determined to sweep out all the old politicians...
...tactics. They are best exemplified by the Dominican Republic, where the Communists resorted to the old "popular front" strategy, muscling into a legitimate non-Communist rebel movement with hopes of duping its idealistic leader, Juan Bosch.

Also excluded is any person who served as a Cabinet minister under deposed Joāo Goulart, the demagogic President whose purposeful drift to the left sparked last year's revolution. Finally, the bill rules out anyone who "has engaged in acts of corruption, abuse of economic power, or who might compromise the good faith of the elections." Brazil's electoral courts will rule...
