Gongalves and the more conservative Spinola fought on almost all important issues, with Costa Gomes, then the No. 2 man in the ruling junta, acting as referee. Now Goncalves and Costa Gomes profess agreement on almost everything. "Where General Spinola saw anarchy, General Costa Gomes sees a healthy popular vigilance," says Gongalves.

Though they did not profess to understand him very well or to endorse many of his views, the voters of Arkansas had for 30 years been sending Bill Fulbright to Washington.
