Joao Goulart studiously avoided the unfinished capital for months on end.

On the nation's TV sets, he could be seen siting before a picture tube of his own smoking incessantly while he commented on the guided tour that had been arranged in elaborate detail. Liz Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Rocky Graziano, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Krishna Menon opened their homes to Murrow.
