Work v. Tears. Despite the influx, the vast Amazon has only a sprinkling of people. The League of Nations once reckoned that the basin could support 900 million people, but only a scant 4,000,000 occupy the area, two-thirds of them caboclos, who live in huts, fish and loll in hammocks. Japan is one source of newcomers who seem immune to the easy-living lethargy that strikes native Brazilians and Indians.
