...here and there-they are nothing but airport thinkers. In a certain sense, our best politicians today are our best intellectuals; they have not been unionized or homogenized."

Taking advantage of the coup that landed a soldier, General Humberto Castello Branco, in the presidential palace, a hardline, right-wing military faction known as the linha dura has been busily purging state and local governments of every official whom they suspect of Communist sympathies or simple malfeasance-in many cases without benefit of judicial procedure. Last week the hard-liners were dealt a hard blow. It came from none other than ex-General Castello Branco, whose regime after twelve months seems confident of success and determined to restore civilian rule...
