Barely a month ago, Juscelino Kubitschek, the ex-President who had been stripped of his political rights, returned to Brazil from 16 months of self-exile in Paris. Only he knows what he hoped to accomplish. Arriving immediately after gubernatorial elections in which his P.S.D. party scored impressive victories, he might even have expected his dramatic reappearance to trigger a popular counterrevolution against President Castello Branco's revolutionary government.

So military investigators started grilling him about corruption during the years between 1956 and 1961. The questions went on for two weeks, until the 63-year-old Kubitschek was sick abed with high blood pressure. At the same time, the linha dura officers were pressuring Castello Branco for new laws that would give the federal government greater control over state Governors and other elected officials. Castello Branco managed to soften their demands, and then sent...
...also predicted that ex-President Kubitschek will not obtain the vote of amnesty which would permit him to run in next year's elections. The recent elections, he asserted, were not the popular defeat for President Branco which they were reported...
