...have them carried out, but had difficulty in making them liked or understood. Within a year after his rise to power, his methods had cost his government its earlier popularity, and the doughty little ex-general withdrew even further into himself. "A soldier learns patience," he once told a visitor. "I am a patient man." Prohibited from succeeding himself, he willingly left the limelight after Costa e Silva's inauguration as President in March.
