...former President Juscelino Kubitschek, whose popularity has consistently gained as that of Costa has waned. He was whisked away from the steps of Rio's downtown Teatro Municipal, where he had just addressed a graduating class. Also reported arrested: Helio Fernandes, publisher of the newspaper Tribuna da Imprensa; Osvaldo Peralva, director of the opposition paper Correio da Manha; several high officials of former regimes; and Singer-Composer Chico Buarque de Hollanda. His stage play, Roda Viva, was recently raided by right-wing thugs and its leading lady was tossed nude into the street, supposedly because it portrayed sexual intercourse...

But the country's new War Minister, General Jair Dantas Ribeiro, got sore when Imprensa carried his two memos; he got even madder when he read Fernandes' followup, Page One commentary: "Those two confidential dispatches had no secret.
