...scored a stunning victory. It picked up two new governorships, added six Senate seats to its 13, seven more Chamber of Deputies posts to make 81. The win was a massive upset for Brazil's leftist labor party and its demagogic boss, Vice President Joāo ("Jango") Goulart, who also has his sights on the presidency. Goulart openly wooed the votes of Brazil's Communists. It cost him thousands of votes; Brazilians flocked to the U.D.N. Said Juracy* last week: "Our party has obviously prospered...
Disciplined and undissipated, the Brazilians played as if their national honor was at stake. And indeed it was. Back home, President Juscelino Kubitschek had postponed important political conferences, Vice President João Goulart adjourned the Senate, great crowds gathered in the public squares to listen to kick-by-kick accounts of the games.

Goulart, a rancher himself, looked long and hard at the ranch's famed herd of Santa Gertrudis cattle (3⅜ Brahman and 5⅝ Shorthorn bred for good beef and hardiness), but made no decision...
From Texas the Goularts move on to Kansas City, Detroit and New York (with a stopover in Canada). But with a more relaxed schedule, Goulart, who is also president of the Brazilian Labor Party, will have more time for what he calls his principal job: strengthening relations between the workers of Brazil and the workers...
