The other top contenders are Governor Juscelino Kubitschek of Minas Gerais state, heir to the leftish populista forces of the late President Getulio Vargas, and General Juarez Tavora, hero of the conservative military leaders whose determination to clean up the mess in Rio led to Vargas' resignation and suicide last year.

...London and renounced her U.S. citizen ship. Thus, like her London-born husband who from his classic film roles piled up an estimated $20 million during 42 years as an alien resident of the U.S., Oona became a British subject. Chaplin, who faces a Justice Department grilling on leftish and immorality charges if he ever tries to re-enter the U.S., was "proud" of Oona's new status...
