"Instead of getting money, the gringos should pay indemnity to Brazil for rendering bad service," he thundered. Unexpectedly and inexplicably, Carlos Lacerda, the militantly anti-Communist Governor of Guanabara state, declared that the compact would cost the government $600 million and found a right-wing reason for opposing it.

Sharper still was the blast from sulphur-tongued Carlos Lacerda, governor of Guanabara state (which includes Rio de Janeiro), whose original election-campaign support for Quadros has since changed to dismay at Quadros' flirtation with Communists ("future hangmen of their fathers, spies of their brothers...
