...Brazil's rigid censorship, which the Christian Science Monitor's Brazil-wise Roland Hall Sharp had called "a blackout of the free press." TIME'S Brazilian readers did not find that story in their edition. Instead, they saw another example of the blackout in a half-column of blank white space, compliments of the censor...
