...Rule. At first the issue was whether the demagogic leftist Vice President Joao ("Jango") Goulart, 43, would be allowed to assume the presidency in place of erratic Janio Quadros, who had quit his job and sailed away in a fit of pique (TIME, Sept. 1). Article L79 of the U.S.-style constitution was precise on the point: Goulart, even though not elected on the same slate as Quadros, had won a plurality of 200,000 votes last October, and therefore should take over as President.

The win was a massive upset for Brazil's leftist labor party and its demagogic boss, Vice President Joāo ("Jango") Goulart, who also has his sights on the presidency. Goulart openly wooed the votes of Brazil's Communists. It cost him thousands of votes; Brazilians flocked to the U.D.N. Said Juracy* last week: "Our party has obviously prospered...
