...middle road is a difficult political path to follow, especially in Latin America, and Brazil's President Joao ("Jango") Goulart may yet veer back into the leftist demagoguery that gave him his start as a labor leader. But last week he showed that he means what he says about fiscal stability, economic austerity, and a fair shake for foreign investors. At the same time, as an astute politician, he remembered his vows to the nationalists who have long been his supporters...
...carpet stood President Kennedy. Said Kennedy: "We look to the future with hope. Our hope comes in part because of the leader ship that you are giving to your own great country." Moderate & Reassuring. The enthusiastic welcome for the new Joao Goulart was accompanied by only a few twinges about his recent past. When he was in line for the presidency after Jânio Quadros' abrupt resignation last August, Goulart was the object of grave apprehension both in Brazil and in the U.S. Brazil's anti-communist politicians and military men distrusted him to the point where...

Laws go unpassed because there are rarely enough members of Parliament on hand to form a quorum. Both Goulart and his Prime Minister, who is supposed to hold administrative power, issue decrees as the mood suits them...
Brazil's harassed new President Joao Goulart sent a letter saying that he could not possibly get around to opening the exhibition before the end of the month; but those in charge of the sixth Sao Paulo Bienal decided not to wait to announce the prizewinners. The art world was impatiently waiting; the Bienal ranks with the Venice Biennale and the Carnegie International Art show in Pittsburgh as tops in prestige. And this year the Sao Paulo show is huge: 4,000 works by 1,049 artists from 51 nations-much too much to be absorbed...
