...Last week War Minister Teixeira Lott was again the man in charge, and again his avowed purpose in calling out the troops was to defend the constitution against Brazil's so-called golpistas: the military-civilian faction that favors a golpe (coup) to keep President-elect Ju-scelino Kubitschek and leftist Vice President-elect Joao ("Jango") Goulart from taking office next January. Teixeira Lott reportedly has no burning admiration for Kubitschek, but he considers himself duty bound to see to it that the presidential candidate who won the most votes in October's election is duly inaugurated...
...General Henrique Teixeira Lott, 61, leader of last week's revolt. In recent months War Minister Lott had emerged as the army's sturdiest opponent of the faction called golpistas-the military and civilian leaders who favor a golpe (coup) to keep middle-roading President-elect Juscelino Kubitschek (TIME, Oct. 17 et ante) from taking office next January...

The army generals who last year demanded President Getulio Vargas' resignation (he committed suicide instead) have little liking for Kubitschek.

But the generals have even less liking for youthful (37) Rabble-Rouser Goulart...
...Kubitschek does take office as President, he will bring to his tasks a sound record as an energetic governor who built roads and public works, got loans, and drew business capital to his state. When campaigning, he sings and sambas with gusto, orates with spellbinding fervor; but he gets a lot of work done...
