...offices of Rio's Communist Tribune-Popular, the pavement was white with paper, littered with broken desks, smashed typewriters. Just three and a half hours after the Brazilian Foreign Office announced the diplomatic break with Russia, a slug-happy gang of rowdies had broken into the Tribunals plant.

Today this fortune adds up to almost two hundred million dollars in market value, a figure that does not include a penny's worth of the physical plant.
