To do the job, he has chosen Roberto de Oliveira Campos, 47, a brilliant economist and diplomat, who was Brazil's Ambassador to Washington until last December, when he quit in disgust at Goulart. As Minister of Economic Planning, Campos knows just how big a task he faces. In 31 months of Goulart, the value of the cruzeiro plummeted 83%, and the cost of living rose...
