Payoff on Gamble. The ad was no joke to its author, James Bryan Choate, 35, a lanky Texan, or to the Brazilian territory of Rondonia (pop. 65,000) where he lives. For Choate, it began the payoff of a $125,000 gamble to tame 500,000 acres of jungle. To Rondonia it signalled the start of local industry, a supply of jobs as well as caninha. The territorial government willingly blessed the venture with a five-year tax grace...
