Political Ammunition. According to Lacerda, the government is destroying Brazil, and the man primarily responsible is Economics Minister Roberto Campos, 48, a former Ambassador to the U.S. and an internationally acclaimed economist (TIME, Aug. 2). Campos, cried Lacerda, is "a mental weakling" whose plans are "leakier than a boardinghouse showerhead."

Dr. Roberto Escalante, head of the new children's hospital, has only one regret. "I only wish," he told this year's volunteers, "that you could be here to see the mothers' faces when they bring their sick children here." Chances are they will-next year...
...That this noble couple is given to such human emotions would shock many of their fans. Indeed, though many of their followers like to think otherwise, the rumors that the flames of romance that Rudi and Margot kindle onstage also rage offstage are false. Margot is married to Dr. Roberto ("Tito") Arias, 46, former Panamanian Ambassador to Britain. Arias, who was shot by a political enemy in Panama last June, is paralyzed from the neck down, and Margot spends three hours on the train every day in order to visit him in the hospital in Buckingham shire, where...
