...politicians have a say in the Cabinet and vice-presidency. In a week of argument and political infighting, ten of 13 ministers were named; among those to come were the crucial ministers of labor and foreign relations. With their eyes on the 1965 elections, both Guanabara State Governor Carlos Lacerda and Kubitschek were in the thick of the bargaining. A Lacerda man-and a good one-landed the Health Ministry. Kubitschek's prize, voted by Congress without military interference, was a less happy choice. Into Brazil's vice-presidency went José Maria Alkmim, 62, an old crony...

...Brasília. The turning point came as rebel troops, led by anti-Jango General Amaury Kruel, flew from São Paulo over the defense lines Goulart had set up outside Rio and took over the city behind them. Within the city, Goulart's archenemy, Carlos Lacerda, had manned the governor's palace with 500 state troopers and barricaded it with 20 city garbage trucks still bearing an anti-litter slogan: "HELP US.
