Belaúnde's engineers are already pushing penetration routes from the coastal town of Pisco to the mountain town of Ayacucho, from Nazca into Cuzco, from Puno down the rugged eastern slope of the Andes into the southern montana. Estimated cost: $400 million. Like Juscelino Kubitschek's Brasilia, the project will be years justifying itself.

With Goulart, it was academic, since he had fled to exile in Uruguay, but it ended, at least temporarily, the careers of Kubitschek and Quadros. Article...
Married. Marcia Kubitschek, 20, comely daughter of former (1956-61) Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek, 50, who fathered the $600 million inland capital of Brasilia but ran afoul of the country's new revolutionary government, which recently stripped him of all political rights for ten years; and Baldomero Barbara Neto, 25, son of a wealthy Brazilian industrialist; in Lisbon...
