Castello Branco is determined to slow the whirligig. His new Minister of Economic Planning, Roberto de Oliveira Campos, 57, onetime Ambassador to the U.S. and a brilliant economist, has eliminated $200 million a year worth of subsidies for wheat, oil and newsprint, has raised taxes and tightened collections. One of his first moves was to end the 75% to 100% salary increases of the Goulart days; he set up credit bureaus to expand farm production and lower food prices. To encourage more investment, the government is also liberalizing profit-remittance laws. This month the Brazilian Congress finally set aside...
Despite its $366 million in 1963 sales, Canadian Breweries ranks only third among Taylor's properties, which include Canada's largest grocery chain, gold and iron mines, newsprint factories, a satellite city and a chemical complex that makes everything from detergent to roofing shingles. Taylor started his career in the brewing business by taking over a struggling brewery from his grandfather, gradually built it into his huge Argus Corp. holding company by shrewd mergers and acquisitions. Nowadays, while he concentrates on other investments, he leaves Canadian Breweries in the hands of Ian R. Dowie, 56, its president...
...pendulum from one subject to the opposite . . . I complied without any reserve with every genuine appeal to my artistic faculties, trampling those infantile barricades of the self-appointed dictators infesting the art fields."

He took up wax crayons to create richly colored tropical scenes: surrealist flowers as big as hybrid corn, rosy hieroglyphs of animal life. These symbolic works, some plainly eruptions from his subconscious, show...
...underdeveloped Brazil, the state of Paraná occupies a vital niche. From its fertile soil come 45% of the country's coffee, 90% of its newsprint, and huge quantities of corn, cotton and beans. Last week Brazil's most prosperous farm state was going up in flames-victim of one of the worst fires in any country's history. Scattered over 50,000 sq. mi., or more than half the state, the fires reduced vast forests of pine, cedar and eucalyptus to ashes, turned coffee plantations and pastures into scorched wastelands, devoured homes and destroyed thousands...
...Avignon. Their fractured postures impelled Braque to a further dissection of nature. He and Picasso, working together, began turning out canvases so similar that in later years they could not recall which of them had painted what. In 1912 Braque invented the paper collage, in which scraps of newsprint and ticket stubs were glued onto the canvas. When people laughed at him, he said that he was bringing art even closer to reality...
