As many as 30 Brazilian security men shadow him at times. So many guards follow him to Sunday Mass that he has to come late and leave early to avoid a commotion.

The conglomerates took a beating; LTV and Gulf and Western dropped more than 50% from their year's highs. Among the blue chips, strike-troubled General Electric has sunk to 79 from a historic high of 120 in 1965, California Standard to 49 from a high of 86 in 1966, Allied Chemical to 24 from 66 in 1961, Du Pont...
