...part-time correspondents in Latin America, and we expect that attentive TIME readers, as opposed to most Americans, should easily be able to pass a quiz identifying the nationality of such names as Rómulo Betancourt, João Goulart, François Duvalier, Jânio Quadros, Arturo Frondizi, Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre, López Mateos and Cantinflas...
...Marin. He returned to the Dominican Republic 16 months ago, built his Dominican Revolutionary Party into a Betancourt-style voice of peasants and workers. At his best, Bosch seems to stand for sensible reform; at his worst, he indulges some of the erratic whims of a Jânio Quadros, Brazil's mercurial onetime President, who abdicated in 1961. Before the election, when a priest called Bosch a "Marxist-Leninist." he became so inflamed that he withdrew completely from the campaign-only to return to the race a few days later. Periodically, he has gone on verbal rampages, lashing...
From the sun-soaked beaches of Copacabana to the rain-drenched upper reaches of the Amazon, more than 10 million Brazilians went to the polls to vote on how powerful the country's presidency should be. In September 1961, after Jânio Quadros' petulant resignation and flight, Brazil's conservatives had imposed a power-splitting parliamentary system as a condition for accepting Quadros' successor, Vice President Joao ("Jango") Goulart, whom they feared as a dangerous demagogue and leftist.

His presidential successors, first the erratic Jânio Quadros and now Joao Goulart, an opportunistic labor leader, have kept the presses rolling-as much to catch up with prices as to continue building Brazil. At the accelerated pace inflation has lately taken, an end must come some time soon, and Goulart undoubtedly knows it. But politics is politics. Supported...
...left. But he soon recaptured his old magic with the crowds. Until a few weeks ago, newspapers ignored his campaign and poked fun at him. On the anniversary of his resignation, S?o Paulo papers headlined it as Dia da Fuga, day of flight. But J?nio told a cheering crowd that election day, Oct. 7, will be Dia da Forra, day of redress. And slowly he has gained ground, especially among the lower classes, where his promises of economic reform and clean government strike home. He no longer talks about "if I'm elected," but speaks of "when...
