The climax came in Sāo Paulo last March, when Doña Amélia's women staged an anti-Goulart "March with God for Freedom." It drew 800,000 marchers...

After a night in the violon (clink), the poules were warned to make themselves scarce. A bistro proprietor was gloomy about the police crackdown. "You watch," he said.

...rise to power in the F.L.N. Breaking with Ben Bella at the cataclysmic party congress of April 1963, Khider went into intermittent exile, but until this week was reluctant to endorse armed rebellion against the regime. At a Paris press conference held in an abandoned class room on the Rue de Babylone, Khider broke once and for all with Ben Bella...
