Brazilians got their first look at a grandiose project that might alter the shape of postwar capitalism. In Rio last week Nelson Rockefeller, optimistic, zealous salesman of Good Neighborliness, onetime U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs, took the wraps off a brand-new idea called the American International Association for Economic and Social Development...
Actually, though Rockefeller intended to spend more than $20,000,000 on worldwide schemes, his Brazilian beginnings were modest. Of three initial projects, one was philanthropic, two were commercial, with a total investment at first of around $750,000. For philanthropy he proposed to expand a pet wartime project of the Coordinator's Office that, in an effort to improve nutrition, taught starch-and-bean-fed Brazilians to eat salads, and "stimulated" farmers to start growing fresh vegetables...

Rockefeller will subscribe $200,000 to the project, which will probably include a demonstration farm near São Paulo, but Brazilians will be invited to put up most of the money...

Goldovsky's project is based on the theory that opera should be as much theatre as music, and this performance will be sung in English. Unfortunately for Yale weekenders, this conflicts with the big game because of its 2:30 o'clock starting time, and as a result will probably interest only those who were caught in the H. A. A. ticket vise...
