The "unknown serra" that Quadros envisions is also a real place. It is the overcrowded, underwatered, sugar and cattle land of the eight northeastern states of Brazil's Atlantic bulge...

When Luna had 18 squatters arrested recently for trespassing, the hacienda's peasant union, through their lawyer in Cuzco, got the men freed. Hacendado Luna does not see any need for agrarian...
Died. John Perona, 64, improbable arbiter of international café society, an Italian peasant's son who emigrated to Manhattan as a 17-year-old bus boy (via Argentina, where he worked as Heavyweight Luis Firpo's sparring partner), later for three decades operated the city's most caste-conscious nightclub, El Morocco; of double pneumonia; in Manhattan...
