There was "Arizona Jimmy" Moore, wearing cowboy boots with his tuxedo, and Onofrio Lauri, whose favorite trick is to polish his bald pate with a handkerchief so that it will reflect the table lights into the eyes of his opponents. There, too, was Irving Crane, who in one year at Hobart College learned mostly how to run a rack so fast that his friends call him "Machine Gun." Luther ("Wimpy") Lassiter was on hand, cheerfully admitting that he has not done an honest day's work since he earned "810 an hour" delivering groceries at 15. Once Lassiter spotted...

...changes that Jaguaribe proposes would "overthrow the military conservative coalition which now protects the income and influence of the elite." Jaguaribe believes that Brazil's most obvious problems--low productivity in agriculture, rural poverty and the erosion of natural resources--only reflect the institutional inequities maintained by this "conspiracy." Nearly 90% of all rural workers do not own the land they work on. The absence of a rural middle class market stifles Brazilian industry. The bem nascidos and the army "combine to keep one masses out of the political club...
