...long the non-junta will be content to play a caretaker role will depend not only on Costa e Silva's progress but also on the ambitions of its members. They vary considerably. Rademaker, 64, is a rigid right-winger who had helped lead the military's 1964 coup against left-leaning President Joāo Goulart, but has done little political maneuvering since. Technically, he is the senior man in the group, but he ranks an easy third in power and ambition. Souza, 63, is a hard-core rightist who is not likely to play a major...

Costa e Silva pointed proudly to his government's success in cutting inflation to a mere 22% annually (down from 90% in 1964, when the military ousted left-leaning President Joāo Goulart) and achieving an economic growth rate of 6%. At one point Costa e Silva grew so animated in his discourse that Rockefeller brought out a yellow pad and began taking notes...
