...small ships under the command of Jan van Riebeeck sailed into Table Bay. On board were 200 men, and although some of them were accompanied by their wives and children, they had not come as colonists.

Since Castello Branco took over, the price of meat has gone up from 400 cruzeiros per kilo to 1,900, black beans from 180 to 950, rice from 100 to 560. Hardest to take of all, many Brazilians of late can no longer even afford their traditional daily flow of cafèzinhos, or tiny cups of black coffee...
