...When Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won the race to become Brazilian president four years ago, it was arguably more because of who he was than what he might do. In fact, no one expected miracles from Lula, as he is known to everyone in this mammoth South American nation.

In an 87-page document drawn up by the Special Ministry for Human Rights and distributed to members of Congress, police chiefs, newspaper editors and other opinion leaders, the Lula administration lists 96 terms it wants to hear less of.
