Latin America's noisiest leftist south of Cuba is Brazil's Leonel Brizola, 41, President João Goulart's embarrassing brother-in-law and a federal Deputy from Guanabara state. On TV and before the crowds, Brizola rails against the foreign businessmen in Brazil, cries for expropriation of their property, demands friendship with Castro, and denounces everything Yankee. But now Brizola is getting better than he gives. In paid ads in Rio's papers, he wailed: "I beg for, I demand justice against the group which manipulates the powerful Diários Associados machine...
Then left-wing Demagogue Leonel Brizola, Goulart's noisy brother-in-law decided to make an issue out of the settlement. "Instead of getting money, the gringos should pay indemnity to Brazil for rendering bad service," he thundered. Unexpectedly and inexplicably, Carlos Lacerda, the militantly anti-Communist Governor of Guanabara state, declared that the compact would cost the government $600 million and found a right-wing reason for opposing it. He called the contract an effort "to disguise Brazil's progressive entry into the Soviet orbit." Goulart's resolve melted under all the political heat; he ordered...
...Insiders' work ranges from the violent canvases of Leonel Gongora, 30, to the near fantasies of Emilio Ortiz, 28, to the fleshy, bulbous creatures of Artemio Sepulveda, 27, to Francisco Corzas' fascination with hallucinations as "universal themes." Throughout the work, the palette is muted; Francisco Icaza, 32, argues that "reducing color makes form clearer." The results are uneven, occasionally repellent; but there is always a stark force about the Insiders that reaches out to the heart as well as the eye. Jose Mufioz, who at 34 is senior member of the group, explains his own anguished figures with...
...rejected his first choice for a Prime Minister, and Goulart himself had fallen out with his second. His third choice was hardly reassuring, Francisco de Paula Brochado da Rocha, 51, comes from Goulart's home state of Rio Grande do Sul and is an aide and confidant to Leonel Brizola, the state's rabble-rousing, far-left governor. Brochado da Rocha himself was a key man in the expropriation last February of Rio Grande's $7,000,000 U.S.-owned International Telephone & Telegraph Corp. subsidiary. Still, sensing the public unrest, the conservatives were willing to take Brochado...
...utilities would be nationalized for fair value. Brazilian Traction agreed. So did American & Foreign Power Co. Inc., whose eleven subsidiaries, worth $250 million, produce 10% of Brazil's power. International Telephone & Telegraph Corp., which recently lost a telephone system to Rio Grande do Sul's Leftist Governor Leonel Brizola and is still trying to collect, was noncommittal. But Goulart's decree last week should do something to ease I.T. & T.'s pain. The government promises a down payment of 10%, with the rest to be repaid on a long-term basis provided the company agrees...
