...Jordan's young (23), furnace-tested King Hussein. In geography and position they ranged from vest-pocket-sized Denmark's Premier and Foreign Minister, H. C. (for Hans Christian) Hansen, to vast Brazil's powerful, unbending War Minister and possible presidential candidate, Henrique Teixeira Lott.

...Minister and Field Marshal Henrique Baptista Duffles Teixeira Lott, only other visible candidate. This week, with typical political canniness, Quadros planned to board a freighter to Japan (54 days around the Cape of Good Hope) on a trip that will keep him away for three months-enough to avoid excessive pre-election exposure, enough to guarantee him a triumphal welcome when he returns...
