Brazil's presidential race was dramatically close, and the vote-counting was dramatically slow. This week, with more than two-thirds of an estimated 10 million paper ballots tallied, the apparent winner was sometime Physician Juscelino Kubitschek, 54, grandson of a Silesian immigrant, ex-governor of Minas Gerais State, candidate of a patchwork left and center coalition.

"I doubled my inheritance," he says in a gross understatement, "and I can do the same for Brazil...
