Secret Plan. Lately, some Portuguese journalists have grown even feistier. Jorno Novo, a Socialist daily founded just after nationalization by a former advertising man, earlier this month ran an exposé of what it called a secret government plan to impose censorship and fines of up to $20,000 for sins like "neglect of duty to sensitize the population to the great national tasks." Social Communications Minister Jorge Correia Jesuino, a Gonçalves intimate, refused to discuss the scheme, but even government-controlled papers hastily denounced it. Since then, an anti-Communist slate has easily won control...
Whether Correia Jesuino will get a chance to prune Lisbon's press, or impose a censorship plan, is another question. The seven state-owned dailies are believed to be losing both readers and revenues, while Jorno Novo has been gaining circulation, from an initial 40,000 last spring to some 100,000.

The villain of Macunaima is just such a dirty capitalist, a fat greedy man who is eventually eaten alive in his own cannibal-capitalist swimming pool human soup when Macunaima, the hero, pushes him in. However, Macunaima himself...
