Latin American revolts are a hazard to TIME because they usually seem to happen on the weekend, after we go to press, but this one came in plenty of time for thorough coverage. What is more, Hemisphere Editor George Daniels, in Rio on a previously planned trip, was ready and eager to help Bureau Chief John Blashill and his staff during 37, mostly sleepless, hours of reporting.

Thus after Jango advocated revision of the constitution last month, the Communist-run General Labor Command immediately obliged by threatening a general strike unless the reforms go through. A measure of the feeling on the other side came in Sao Paulo fortnight ago, when some 500,000 antileftists-largest rally ever assembled in Brazil-demonstrated their opposition to constitutional change...
