...last time Henrique Baptista Duffles Teixeira Lott, 64, saw the U.S., he was an obscure brigadier general, attached to the Brazilian embassy in Washington. This week, ten years later, he returns as the tough, seasoned boss of the Brazilian armed forces, and democracy's strong right arm in Brazil.

He himself is the sort of nationalist who opposes diplomatic relations with the U.S.S.R., wins conservative admiration as a stabilizing force, warmly admires the U.S. He is hoping to get the support of Kubitschek's Social Democrats...

...Lott runs a poor second in voter polls to Jánio Quadros, the shaggy reformer from São Paulo who recently accepted the nomination of the conservative National Democratic Union (TIME, March 9). If Lott stays out of the race, he will have the demanding job of keeping army tempers cool during the fiery heat of a Brazilian campaign. He frankly believes that "besides defense, the army has a great responsibility for national unity and social order...
