Calling for greater factory production last week, the regime announced a new slogan: "More production in the same time for the same money...
Goulart decided it was safe to go home. But he took precautions. He passed word that he was traveling from Montevideo to Porto Alegre by car (Brazilian air force jets started buzzing the highways), then raced through the darkness to board a Varig Airlines Caravelle at Montevideo Airport.

Our orders are misinterpreted at lower echelons, and security leaks are flagrant...
...high speed down the waterways. The absurd anachronisms, trumpeting through the muddy canals, finally stirred action as well as municipal nostalgia: Venice authorities agreed to enforce restrictions on motorboats. Victorious, the gondoliers threw out the motors, grabbed their oars, and lazed back at the boats' sterns, safe and somnolent and-temporarily, at least-kings again...
