...energy in the coastal cities, including Rio. Racists (rare but not unknown in tolerant Brazil) put the blame on Brazil's racial potpourri. (It was 62% white, 27% brown and 11% black by the 1950 census, but a majority of Brazilian whites have at least a trace of Indian or Negro blood.) Often Brazilians blame the nation's Portuguese colonial masters. Complains a Rio newsman: "Brazil made Portugal rich, and Portugal left Brazil poor."

Above his beautiful middle voice, Harkless' pitch control gets out of hand, with climatic high notes sometimes painfully flat. In short, he knows what effects to strive for, but he can not always command them...
...course in a slow walk would be a trial for the average athlete. Sturdy Scandinavians turn the wild cross-country scrambles into punishing foot races. Known officially as "orienteering," the sport dates back to 1918 when the first Swedish club was formed to hold formal competitions. Unofficially, historians trace the race's origins across 1,000 years to a time when Scandinavian sentries guarded long lonely frontiers. Then, long-winded runners were the only means of communication with threatened inland settlements...
