...enough to send Rio's nationalist press into tail spins. The normally staid Jornal do Brasil spread it seven columns across the front page, ran a caption implying that Kubitschek was pleading desperately with a sardonically grinning Dulles. Jeered Congressman Carlos Lacerda in his Tribuna da Imprensa: "Kubitschek, the President, rises respectfully to talk to Secretary Dulles in a language which cannot be understood.

Even the Tribuna's old rival, Ultima Hora, declared the shooting "a crime which under no circumstances can be justified." Major Vaz's fellow air-force officers warned that "If the police don't solve this, we will," and promptly began their own investigation of the shooting. A cabbie who had driven one of the assassins to and from the scene was arrested, but at week's end the assailants...
