The "unknown serra" that Quadros envisions is also a real place. It is the overcrowded, underwatered, sugar and cattle land of the eight northeastern states of Brazil's Atlantic bulge...

"I say, Caceres," said the friend, "TIME reports the Honduran opposition is using 'Pinos de Honduras' for a slogan, and your President of Congress maintains that a revolutionary ought to be hanged from each pine. What luck you aren't a revolutionary. The pine would surely break...
