...President, Costa is a pragmatic man whose army background has stiffened his spine and his resolve-and made him less dreamy than some of his predecessors. In a meeting with his Cabinet the day after his inauguration, he said: "Brazilian society is profoundly split. This cleavage is growing and deepening so much that all of us must work urgently to remedy it. I have the impression that while we all live in the same national space, we do not live in the same social time. Misery dominates large segments of the Brazilian population. If, as St. Francis of Assisi said...
...credit cost of installment sales. Rich, intelligent and Catholic, he is already being talked of in some Canadian political circles as a north-of-the-border John F. Kennedy. His job is ideal for a man in his stage of career, but he may not have time to grow into national importance before the day arrives to choose a new Liberal party leader. Pearson, who turns 70 later this month, has made it plain that he wants only to preside over Canada's centennial year before stepping down as Prime Minister...

They grow faster than most cattle; after weaning, many gain 100 lbs. a month. Two years ago, there were 30,000 purebred Charolais in the U.S. Today, there are nearly 50,000, plus another 200,000 crossbreeds...
...philosophical crux-or crotch-at which Jones stabs-or grabs-in the end? Sex, naturally. All men, don't you see, are really small boys playing at being men. They are all victims of penis envy. As little tykes, they worried that their organs would never grow as large as Daddy's. "I think maybe the whole world is all like that," Ron tells Lucky. "Russians, Chinese, Americans; Presidents, Prime Ministers, Heads of State; everybody. All of them trying so hard to grow up to Dad's, Dad's thing. And remaining small boys inside because...
