With Ku-bitschek's backing, Congress went into special session to discuss a constitutional amendment to remold the government from a U.S. presidential system into a parliamentary pattern akin to West Germany's, with a president of weak powers (Goulart) and a strong Premier to be appointed by Congress...
What Rita Hayworth was to the American G.I., a lissome lass named Jane was to the British Tommy-and more.

Raised to overseer by a count, Ippolita's greatgrandfather snaps up all the nobleman's holdings to make the Raugeos the richest, and the meanest, landowners in the town of San Lio. He passes on the family faith: the land is god; to lose it, or anything on it, is hell. Ippolita's mother tongue lashes the easygoing parish priest for not refusing Holy Communion to game poachers and fish stealers.
