It was a rare sight: a deep and significant squabble deep inside a Communist family circle, but carried out in almost full view of the outside world.

Instead of trying to hold all the administrative strings in his own hands, he has brought teamwork into the government, delegating real authority to his ministers and giving them firm support. Instead of trying to cure Brazil's economic ailments with painkilling expedients, he has adopted a bitter-medicine program of "disinflation" and austerity...
