Into the coffee port of Santos last week steamed the Dutch freighter Ruys. Aboard was ex-President Jānio Quadros, 45, whose petulant resignation seven months ago plunged Brazil into chaos, disillusion and disrepair. He came home in triumph. When the Ruys docked, Jānio, tanned, a bit flushed, and about 10 lbs. heavier than when he sailed away last August, walked into a swarm of 10,000 almost fanatic fans...

...crowd was still in a mood of pre-Lenten carnival. It hoisted the returning prodigal to its shoulders and carried him on a mauling ride to a police truck, which drove him to a hastily built platform. Skyrockets burst, pennants waved, and there were shouts of "Jānio for dictator!" "Our solution has arrived!" and "Jesus Christ renounced too!"

Last week Brazil's mercurial ex-President Jânio Quadros was homeward bound, by the slowest possible means. In Hong Kong he boarded a freighter that is not scheduled to reach Rio de Janeiro until March 9. Already, however, Brazilians were getting that old familiar feeling-"Here Comes Jânio." In northeastern Maranhāo state, a federal deputy announced the formation of a national front to return Jânio Quadros to control of the nation he deserted five months ago in a tantrum against congressional obstruction. Quadros had been chosen President ten months earlier...

...drive to bring back Quadros centers in the Popular Movement for Jânio Quadros. a Citizens-for-Eisenhower-type outfit now tuning up for the October congressional elections. The movement is working to get Quadros nominated for Parliament in every one of Brazil's 21 states, and to push a full slate of pro-Quadros candidates. The hope is to win a parliamentary majority and thus sweep their hero into the prime ministership (which, in the hands of a strong-willed man with a fresh mandate, could be a powerful office...
