...hovels have regularly appeared in the Brazilian press. In fact, while they are occasionally exploited by contractors, the migrant workers who make up about two-thirds of Jari's work force frequently return to the operation for another season in the forest. Some of the criticism of Jari may stem from political jealousies. Ludwig and his managers routinely bypass local officials, including the state governors, and deal only with top officials in Brasilia, the national capital...
...when to burrow and when to flee. Alan Stock plays a jittery boy with a cramped intelligence.

...issues. With few exceptions, policy stances have taken second place to personality. Fallout from the Watergate scandal has produced a political climate where an image of candor, honesty, and integrity is crucial. In almost every case where an incumbent appears to be in trouble with his constituency, the problems stem from charges or investigations of alleged corruption...
