India and the U.A.R.

When the campaign started, Public Works Minister Ernani do Amaral Peixoto, appointed by Kubitschek's Social Democratic Party to coordinate Lott's candidacy, sadly reported to friends that "Lott is unelectable." Urged to expand his campaign itinerary, Candidate Quadros chuckled: "That's all right. Marshal Lott will visit places I can't visit myself, and win them for me."
