...improving the lot of the peasants. "Only by giving liberty with reforms," says Rivera, "can we demonstrate that Fidel is a fraud." Guatemala's junta of colonels has given the country its biggest-and most surprising-boom in history. In Brazil, the question was not whether Leftist Joao Goulart would lead Latin America's biggest nation into civil war-but when. Under Humberto Castello Branco, a retired army general, the country finally seems pointed toward stability, if the reforms continue and the revolutionaries can keep from fighting among themselves...
After Leftist Joao Goulart was deposed last March, Brazil's new government declared all-out war on three items that had become Goulart's trademark: Communism, corruption and inflation. By last week President Humberto Castello Branco and his revolutionaries had dealt forcibly with the first two. Inflation is proving far more difficult.

...party immediately withdrew its support from the government majority bloc in Congress, reducing the bloc to a minority with only one-third of the votes. The government's extreme action also drove the PSD back into its old alliance with the Labor Party of deposed President Joao Goulart. Through it all, the revolutionary government of Humberto Castello Branco stood its ground, stolidly went ahead with still another "purge" list that may run to 500 names...
