kemio Any Brazilian opening his (or her) mouth in Portugal and any Portuguese doing the same in Brazil might be asking for trouble. Do we really speak the same language? Some say only the name is the same, even though we still can (barely) understand each other. A little radical, hmmm? While Brazilian novelas (soap op-
7
eras) invade Lusitanian territory and purists over there cry foul, authorities from both countries are trying to unify by decree the way we put things on paper. Is it a waste of time to legislate the language? How about the advantages for book publishing? The discussion is open in our pages. Check it out! Confira!
For those who long for Carnaval or just for its magic spirit we are bringing part of the enchantment: the lyrics of the songs the Escolas de Samba sang on the streets of Rio.
CONTENTS
In an extraordinary election this month, Brazilians are going to the polls to decide if the country continues as a Republic or adopts the nostalgic form of a Kingdom. If the latter doesn't win it won't be for lack of postulants to the crown. As a second option they we're being asked to choose between two systems: parliamentarist or presidentialist. Talking about good old times, the dead Fusca (the VW bug) is being resurrected. Isn't it exciting to be living through these times? R.M.

EDUCATION
Down there According to "Poverty and Income Distribution in Latin America", a study from the World Bank, 44% of the region's poor call Brazil home, even though the country has only one third of the area's population. Together with Guatemala and Bolivia, Brazil is leader of illiteracy and infant mortality. In the inequality index, the nation is alone: the poorest 20% have only 2.1% of the national income. The region's average is 4%.

How do you do? Down the tubes The good/very good index is falling and the bad/very bad is rising for president ltamar Franco. The last DataFolha poll revealed that in one month the rate of approval of Itamar's administration fell from 36% to 24% and the disapproval rate grew from 8% to 18%. There are people adding some numbers and shaking their heads: hamar has been in the presidency for half year. Gustavo Krauze, his first economy minister lasted 76 days, Paulo Haddad, the second, 61. He'd better keep Eliseu Resende despite the generalized jeering at the choice. The president speaks loud. Can he hear?

Theater director Antunes Filho (photo) is in charge of the event and among famous names who should participate are directors Jose Celso Martines Correa, Caca Rosset, e Gabriel Villela. Estimated cost: $1 million. Organizers say sponsors would pay the bill.

It's open season in the English schools in Brazil. Thanks to Plano Collor, today they have 30% fewer students than in 1990. The Yazigi Institute, for example, is spending $1.2 million on marketing, 20% more than last year. In SA() Paulo alone there are about 300 English schools. Fearing the competition, even the respected Uniao Cultural Brasil-Estados Unidos is reshaping its program and creating new classes for travelers.
FAMILY
Good old sex How active are the hormones south of the Equator? Researchers of John Hopkins University, studying 300,000 women from 44 Third World countries, concluded that Brazilians are the most active in bed, with an average of eight sexual intercourses a month. The work wasn't any third world version of Masters & Johnson, but a study to evaluate how seriously birth control is being taken overseas.
COVER Spoken by roughly 200 million people - 146 million of them Brazilian - Portuguese is the seventh most used language inthis planet. Considered by many as a subsidiary of Spanish, its individuality and literature haven't been duly appreciated. And right now, Brazil and Portugal are again locked in a tug of war to decide how to unify the orthography of their common heritage. The recent crackdown of the Portuguese authorities against Brazilians arriving in Portugal hasn't helped. It's not the first time the two countries have decided by decree how the mother tongue has to be written. This happened first in 1931 when both nations signed an agreement to simplify and unify written Portuguese. With that pact, words with "sc" as sciencia lost the "s", and the "h" disappeared from verbal forms likedeverse-M. In 1945, both countries
"Posto queo capitam moor desta vossa frota e asy os outros capitaas screpuam avossa alteza anoua do achamento desta vossa terra noua que se ora neesta nauegacam achou. nom leixarey tam bem de dar disso minha conta avossa alteza como eu milhor poder ajmda que perao bem contar e falar o saiba pior que todos fazer." (From Pero Vaz de Caminha letter to the king of Portugal. Caminha was with Cabral when he discovered Brazil in 1500.)
signed the Convencao Ortografica Luso-brasileira. The Brazilian congress ratified the accord but they reneged on it later. In 1971, Brazil, unilaterally, through a decree by the military regime, simplified the accent rules, abolishing, among others, differential accents from
homograph words. That's when words asesse and solve lost their accents. This itch to tinker with the language and sign orthographic pacts seems to be pure Lusitanian idiosyncrasy. Despite all the countries that speak their language, England and France,
Finding our tongue For decades Brazilians and Portuguese have being talking about uniformizing their orthography and in the process maybe energizing the publishing industry in Portugal and Brazil. But now that an agreement seems so close, many are thinking twice. RODOLFO ESPINOZA
for example, have never signed any agreement with those who share their language. What is written in one country - with some few and negligible disparities has the same spelling in the other. Bra zilhas signed thenew Acordo Ortografico da Lingua Portuguesa, in December 1990, in Lisbon. The new rules should apply starting January 1, 1994 in the seven nations whose official tongue is Portuguese: Angola, Bra zil, Cabo Verde, GuineBissau, Mozambique, Portugal, e Sao Tome e Principe. Since September 1991, however, the copies of the agreement are gathering dust in severalcongressional committees such as Education, Constitution and Foreign Relations. All the other countries have already ratified the treaty. The proposed changes should cause more trouble to the Portuguese than to Brazilians, One of the rules elimination of the mute con-

(From guese language, thinks Brazil should Luis de Canoes' Os be more worried now about solving Lusiadas, 1572) some educational problems. "There are perhaps some advantages in the agreement," said Preti in an interview to Folhade Siio Paulo, "but this is going to give rise to a series of problems, such as the changes in the editorial world. I imagine that the money that's being spent on the project could be better used in alphabetization projects. This is something unnecessary at the moment." The new agreement has a strong ally in Antonio Houaiss, an authority on the idiom, who had the audacity to translate James Joyce's Ulysses into Portuguese and who is now Brazil's "Ladroens ha, dos Culture Minister. And he is no latter quaes podemos dizer, day convert. Since 1935, when he won que tern mais ma6s, que the right to teach Portuguese writing o gigante Briareu, about the foundation of orthographic porque nab lhes escapa simplification, Houaiss has been an conjuncao, lugar, nem apostle for simplicity and unity. tempo; e como se tiverao mil ma6s, Defending his position, the minisdextris, e a sinistris, nao ter wrote recently about the need to erra6 lanco: e isto vem a have one sole orthography in order to ser furtar corn maos preserve Portuguese as a language of proprias, que nab- he culture. He gives the Spanish as an muito." ( From Arte de example: "Spanish has a dozen differ. furtar attributed to ent pronunciations in Spain and probpadre Ant6nio Vieira, ably more than one hundred in His1744) panic America... but it has a single orthography, something humankind Page 8 - NEWS from BRAZIL 88 - APRIL 1993
should be thankful for, with hispanophonic publishing acceptable in all places where Spanish is read." To Houaiss the difference between the orthographies only exists because Brazil reneged on a pact signed in 1945, "violating the expectation thatpactasuntservanda - agreements (among people, nations, countries) are to be respected. Portugal respected the agreements, but Brazil "opted" for a prior criterion, belonging only to our Academy." Linguist Luiz Carlos Cagliari, from Unicamp (Universidade de Campinas), defends the idea that orthography doesn't belong to the domain of politics and laws. "The less orthography is altered," says Cagliari, "the more useful it is. To tamper with orthography is always a problem that engenders many others. We could still be writing with Camoes' ( famed Portuguese poet who died in 1580) orthography, without any problem." Cagliari sees no reason to end the orthographic differences between Brazil and Portugal. He points out that the agreement while concerned with some little, almost imperceptible differences ignores graver discrepancies like: caminluTo-camitio (truck), flecha - freclza (arrow), aluguel aluguer (rent), hossana - hosam. "We cannot change an idiom by decree," says Denise Aragao from Institut° de Letras da Universidade de Brasilia. According to Aragdo, who seems to echo a generalized complaint by her peers, "the scientific community wasn't heard. It would be reasonable to look for studies in Brazilian universities to know which would be the impact of such an orthographic agreement in Brazil." To Mario Prata, a Paulista writer, the effort to end the orthographic differences is absurd. He has been in Portugal for two years by invitation of Opus, a producing company, to adapt the romance 0 Testament° do Senhor Nepomuceno do Silva Araiijo for TV. Prata is also releasing a book trying to prove that Brazil and Portugal don't speak the same language. Shifaizfavoire Portugal is a little dictionary with more than 600 words with different meanings in both countries. He shows, for example, that the phrase "please, flush after using the toilet" is pure Greek when a Brazilian talks to a Portuguese and vice versa. Listen to a Portuguese talking: "Por
COVER favor, carregue no au toclismo depois de usar a The term mop (young man) is considretrete." And now to a Brazilian: "Por ered demeaning. Prata soon learned that the best way to get a waiter is to say favor, de a descarga apos usar a privada." The author derived the book's title "Se faz favor" (If you please) which from the fact that he couldn't find a word to call a waiter in Lisbon. The word garcom used in Brazil doesn't exist in Portugal.
Do you hear what I hear? Some words are innocent in Brazil or Portugal. But you wouldn't dare pronounce them, in each other's country when there's company around. NORMA CHANDLER
Unsuspecting Brazilians who go to Portugal can have a hard time and even some cages of red face when they open their mouths. If someone tries to praise a young lady saying that she is brejeira (cheerful) he will be calling the poor woman a tramp. And the epithet of mulherengo (Don Juan) that's considered an adulation by men in Brazil also sounds like an insult to the Lusitanian ear. It means bicha (queer). Bicha in Portugal is a line (as in waiting in line). The word for bicha with the Brazilian meaning is paneleiro. In Brazil, paneleiro could also be offensive but just by those who wouldn't like to be called a pan maker. That's what paneleiro means. Weird? There's more. In Portugal panela (pan) is bunda (buttock), and bumbum (also buttock) it's only a boom for them. Poor Portuguese people, they don't know what bunda means. This rotund word, acclaimed among us as a "national preference", is typically Brazilian, born here during slavery time, to celebrate the assets of black men and women from Bunda, an Angola tribe. They were famous for their bountiful derrières. Since we've lowered the level of the conversation, let's get a little lower. Writer Mario Vilar, author of the sold out Diciontirio Cons tras tivo Luso-Brasileiro, recalls having once ordered his maid in Lisbon to place over thepia (kitchen sink) some vegetables that he had bought. What a shock to return home and see that she had placed them over the toilet. Why! Everybody knows (in Portugal) that pia is
when written the way it's pronounced in Portugal get us the title Shifizizfavoire. The book is not a big joke on the Portu-
potty. Toilet is retrete - don't confuse with retreta (outdoor concert of a band) - and descarga (flushing cistern) - believe it! - is called autoclismo!!! Camiseta (T shirt) is camisola (night-gown), men's meias (socks) are pefigas. By the way, homem (man) is gajo on Lusitanian shores. Any roupa (clothes) is calledfa to (fact, in Brazilian) Boceta (vagina, in Brazil) is no coarse word inPortugal meaning only bolsinha (little purse) or a little box. Can you imagine the possible misunderstandings? Bizarr°, which means weird among us Brazilians, in Portugal is someone honorable and kind. Menino (boy) is miudo. So, when a Portuga says "my milidos" he is not talking about chicken's guts (the meaning of the word in Brazil) but about his children. By the way, acougue (butcher shop) is talho and for them acougue means slaughterhouse. And nobody will understand if you ask for ovos quentes (boiled eggs) in a restaurant. You'll have to say escalfados. A thin gajo is chupado (sucked, in Brazilian). And the comic team Stan and Laurel, called 0 Gordo e o Magro in Brazil, is known as 0 Buchae o Estica in Portugal. And Os Tres Patetas (Three Stooges) are Os Tres Estarolas in Lisbon. They don't allow the use of foreign words or expressions. Everything has to be translated, even people's names. England' s Philip and Fl zabethare called there principe (prince) Felipe and rainha (queen) Isabel. The more traditional Portuguese are mad as hell about the Brazilian cultural invasion mainly throughnove/as (soap operas) and songs. They don't want anything to do with brasileirismos such as curtir numa boa (coolly enjoy). Pobreza, mermtio! (How pitiful, brother!)
"Quero aproveitar as minhas horas de trabalho em copiar e remocar urn velho manuscripto que encontrei em urn armario desta casa, quando a comprei. Estava abandonado e quasi todo estragado pela humidade e pelo cupim, esse roedor eterno, que antes do diluvio jĂĄ se havia agarrado a arca de Noe, e p8de assim escapar do cataclysma." (From the Foreword to Jose de Alencar's 0 Guarani, 1857).
"Nao sei ainda se escreverei a palavra 'coito' corn todas as letras. 0 arcebispo e as familias podem ficar revoltados. Talvez ponha sO a syllaba 'coi' seguida de tres pontinhos discretos. Como Caul-6es fazia corn 'bunda'." (From Oswald de Andrade's Serafini Ponte Grande, 1933)

COVER guese people, says Prata. Nonetheless the work should provoke lots of laughs on both sides of the Atlantic. One of the most respected Brazilian grammarians, Napoledo Mendes de Almeida, 82, believes the new orthographic pact is an economic matter. "People want to make money selling books," says he. "The Academia Brasileira de
cauiary ange Brazil the changes a even sing .45%
Letras reforms the orthography every three, four years. Why? To reinforce its banking account." Curiously, Houaiss seems to have a dictionary already with the new orthography ready to be published. The book comes with the Academia Brasileira de Letras' seal of approval and is signed by the minister himself. •

The Bug is back The initial popular reaction was enthusiastic when Itamar Franco decided to resurrect the Fusca. Now, people aren't so sure they want back what many see as a little old clunker. ELMA LIA NASCIMENTO
s.2111511
Most original costume prize goes to
Fusca, fusquinha, fuscao, they are all endearing terms used by Brazilians to show their affection to the Volkswagen Bug, the car that in fact (aside from a short experience also with the micro car Romi-Isetta, in 1955) introduced Brazil to the world club of automobile manufacturers, in 1959. The canine devotion seems to be mutual While the Fusca hasn't been manufactured in the country since August 1986, some Bug owners still keep the car in top shape, as if it had just left the assembly line. President Itamar Franco's idea to bring back the car in July, at a price of $6,800, with partial tax exemption, is provoking a controversy, and the reaction has been mostly unfavorable to this resurrection. Among those opposing the return is Vicente Paulo da Silva, Vicentinho, the president of the sao Bernardo and Diadema Steelworkers Union. He calls the Fusca "obsolete, polluting, and noisy" and has already presented Itamar with a plan to produce a 600 cc. car, a kind of vehicle that's not being manuPage 16 - NEWS from BRAZIL 88 - APRIL 1993
factured in Brazil right now. Acid comments have been the norm. An executive of General Motors in sao Paulo asked rhetorically: "Why not bring hack black and white TV and the 78 rpm record?" Olivier Colas, director of Metalitrgica Barbara didn't hide his displeasure either: "What the 'president wants to do is similar to Bill Clinton asking the Ford Co. to re-release its model T." The main defenders of the Fusca are their owners. They point out that the automobile was elected Car of the Century by journalists of 37 countries, on a vote promoted by French magazine Au to Moto. Brazil even has a Fi isca National Day, celebrated on January 20, date of the official opening, of the first Volkswagen assembly plant in Sao Bernardo do Campo Sao Paulo). Volkswagen of Brazil will be producing 100 units a day initially in the same old plant where history was made. Retesting a model 86 with only 250 miles on the odometer, Folha de Sao Paulo concluded that besides its sturdiness, which makes it perfect for earth terrain, the vehicle has little to offer. The reviewer concluded that the car is noisy, unstable, slow (it goes from 0 to 60 miles in 21.9 seconds) and a guzzler, gulping a gallon of gas every 16 miles, and offers poor visibility to the driver. Claudio Felisoni de Angelo, 38, professor of management at USP (University of Sao Paulo), thinks 'the industry should develop modern and cheap cars and not old and expensive models", usin& new technology and mass production. For him the only solution is to open Brazil's doors to cheaper foreign cars, forcing the auto industry to manufacture inexpensive vehicles. What's not being mentioned enough is that the reintroduction of the Fusca or any other economic car is not going to increase de number of people who own an automobile. The only ones able to buy the Fusca will be the same 0.5% of the population who buys all the other models. The Fusquinha will be probably the second or third car of the family. According to Charles B. Vernes, 54, GM's marketing director, the term popular car is used incorrectly in Brazil. "In the United States," he says, "there is a vehicle for every two people, in Brazil, it's one for every 12 citizens." The cheapest car in the Brazilian market right now, the Chevette Jr. requires 121 monthly minimum wages. It would only take 10 years for someone earning the minimum to get in his car, provided he didn't spend a cent with frivolities like eating.

ELECTIONS
Now what? President? Prime-minister? A king? With an x on a ballot Brazilians will decide who they want to govern them. What comes next? On April 21, a holiday to celebrate Tiradentes, a martyr of the Brazilian independence, the Brazilian people will have to decide whether they wish to have a president, a prime minister or even a monarch as its head of state. The result is far from certain. Monarchy should get a large vote from discontents but not enough to challenge presidentialism or parliamentarism. Whoever wins, politicians will be in a scramble to realign themselves among their parties and prepare for the 1994 elections. Even if the parliamentary system wins, there will elections for president. In this case, the prime-minister will be chosen by Congress, but with a heavy influence from the big states (Sao Paulo, Rio, Minas, Bahia) governors. Brazilians will be choosing in 1994 not only its president (and prime minister if parliamentarism wins) but also governors, state and union representatives, as well as two thirds of the senate. To use a fashionable political jargon, the 1989 presidential election that put Collor de Mello in power was sorteira (single) while this next one will be casada (married). It means that local races will be giving its color to national choices, with popular regional and local candidates influencing the federal results. Assuming the presidentialists win, political experts believe the field of presidential candidates won't be as crowded as last time. The names always mentioned are Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (candidate also in 89), Paulo Maluf (São Paulo mayor), Leonel Brizola (Rio's governor), Jaime Lerner (ex-mayor of Curitiba, Parana, and a folk hero) and congressmen Pedro Simon and Ibsen • Pinheiro. In the current referendum campaign, most of the pitches to the viewing audience has been innovative. Monarchists have been pointing towards economic successes in countries with actual or nominal monarchies, such as Spain and Thailand. Parliamentarians advertise: "You may not know what a parliamentary system is like... but we sure know what presidentialism is. That s why we don t want it anymore!" They point out the gains of similar systems in Ireland, Australia and in Portugal. The presidentialists, under heavy attack after the Collor affair, basically assaults the other two systems and their lack of respect towards individual and social rights, and praises the voting process as an instrument towards social equality and change.

BOOK
Romancing a King Some Brazilians have been longing for a king. The chances they will et their wish in the next plebiscite are almost nil. Miranda's book is thei next best pick. Pedro II. our last king
UBIRAJARA CASTRO
0 Retrato do Rei (The King's Portrait), by Ana Maria Miranda, Companhia das Letras, 375 pp, Sao Paulo, 1991 On April 21, Brazilians will go to the ballots, again. This time no to elect governors, senators or a new president, but to select the form of government that could eventually eliminate presidency itself. Rest assured that it's not democracy that is at stake in this case. It is the form of representation. It seems that after the fiasco of Mr. Fernando "Indiana Jones" Collor short lived administration, some Brazilian got fatally disillusioned with the presidential system. On the upcoming plebiscite the people will choose whether to maintain the current presidential system, to create a parliamentary one or to reestablish the monarchy.
Monarchy?! Yes, monarchy. No matter how anachronistic the idea may be, some prominent figures have publicly favored it. Recently the weekly news magazine Veja published an interview with economist and former minister, during the military dictatorship, Mario Henrique Simonsen expressing his sympathy for a Parliamentary Monarchy. Actually, from its very beginning, the country seems to ever have been in love with kings and queens having not long ago acclaimed, among other, "King -Pele", "King Roberto Carlos", and Her Highness, Sarajane, "The Queen of Lambada". It is also important to keep in mind that Carnaval, one of the few things that has proved to work in Brazil, is ruled by King Momo. Ana Miranda's book deals with the figure of a king, more precisely the portrait of king D. Joao V. Set in colonial Brazil during the early 1700's, this romance appears to be thoroughly researched, refreshing our high-school memories of the Brazilian history episode called Guerra dos Emboabas (Emboabas War), when native Brazilians settled in Sao Paulo battled the Portuguese (the emboabas) over the control of the gold mines and the monopoly of the meat trade. Although based on a true event, the story focuses on the adventurous quest of a noble Portuguese woman and a raw Paulista man to deliver the portrait of the king from Rio de Janeiro to Minas Gerais before the quarreling parties to prevent the conflict. The journey is permeated with encounters with fascinating characters: a greedy and corrupt friar, a drunk French medicine man suspected of being a spy, bandits, the lady's dying father and his black woman lover. Like them, some people in Brazil still believe that the figure of a king may help put the country back on the right track. The truth is the lack of a king is being compensated by the abundance of court jesters.

ECOLOGY
A forest of puzzles Something seems to have happened to the Caiapos on their way to acculturation. And it doesn't look good. EMERSON LLAS
To the world ecological movement they used to be the good spirits of the forest protecting the Amazon habitat and living in perfect harmony with nature. The Caiapos could do no wrong. Now it seems, that this naĂŻve reasoning was a case of wishful thinking on one side and closing one eye on the other. The last time the leaders of the tribe went to Brasilia, during Carnaval, it was to demand that they be allowed once again to sell mahogany trees from the reservation they live on. They took another proposal just in case the federal government said no. They would settle for a $50,000 monthly compensation for each of the 16 Ca iapo aldeias (settlements) in Para state. Cutting the trees is illegal, granting money is impossible for a bankrupt administration. The discussions are being resumed. Suggestions, anyone? As it is being exposed now, the 2,000 CaiapOs made an average of $10 million a year in the eighties, by satisfying the appetite for mahogany, mainly from the Europeans, who have a special fondness for that wood. The Indians in turn seem to have caught consumerism fever. The money went to pay for food, clothes, and medicine, but the caciques (chiefs) used also the income for items less urgent such as tractors, boat engines, televisions sets, satellite dishes, planes and luxurious automobiles. Strangely enough, the practice of destroying the forest was encouraged by Funai (National Foundation for the
Indians), the organ in charge of protecting, the natives and their reservations. Without assistance from the state agency, the Caiapos started to deplete the jungle as a way to survive. Funai washed its hands and sighed in relief that they were taking care of themselves. At the same time, the organization opened the door to the loggers and mineral explorers to enter Indian lands. It was foreign pressure that finally forced the government to intervene and guarantee that the anti-logging law would be observed. The alarm sounded first in Britain, where consumers started to boycott wood from the Indian reservations. Last year, England's Timber Trade Corporation - an association of wood importers - signed a contract with Brazil, expressly excluding any deal involving the Caiapo mahogany. This wasn't enough to stop the devastation, however. Recently, a group called Nticleo dos Direitos Indigenas went to court to force the government to enforce the anti-logging law, and also to destroy clandestine airports being used to steal the wood away. Responding to the mounting pressure from ecological movements, the Brazilian government placed inspectors near the target areas. The hard part will be keeping this deterrent force out there in the forest. Funai says there's nothing it can do. Talking to Veja magazine, Wilson Teixeira Souza, a high official of Funai, declared: "We have no structure to check the aldeias." And the people at Greenpeace finally decided to denounce the abuse. Kido Guerra, a Greenpeace director, places the blame mainly in the hands of the government and the foreign logging companies. "The lumber firms," Guerra says, "above all still exploit the cheap work of the Indians to cut trees down." How to solve the problem? One plan presented to Funai would create the conditions for the Indians to cultivate the land and raise cattle. The Agriculture Ministry, that is in charge of such programs, would like to implement the recommendations, but it didn't receive not even a cent for that in 1992. There's nothing to make us believe that 1993 will be better. The CaiapOs are also being accused of drug dealing. The Attorney General has received the complaint and has started an inquiry to find out if some aldeias are really involved with the commerce of drugs. Preliminary findings have shown that at Bananal Island there was nothing wrong. But at the Guajajara area the investigations continue. •

It had never been so hot since L. A. started its Marathon in 1986. Thermometers under the sun showed a reading of 110 F. Perfect weather for our men. After a second place in the Los Angeles Marathon last year when he arrived 23 seconds after the champion, Brazilian Joseildo Rocha, 28, won a reputation as a difficult guy and a complainer. He had protested against an official vehicle that had impeded his vision, preventing him to see how far he was from Irish first place John Treacy. Nobody was betting on ow Alagoano from MaceiO this second time around. While Treacy was sporting the number 1 on his shirt (he finished fifth), Rocha got not more than a number 8. On TV, the commentators were saying almost until the end that the other runners were saving energy and that they would advance in the last few miles. Were they wrong! After having spared themselves for 18 miles, Rocha and his running mate Jose Santana, 28, also from Macei6, took over the lead till the end of the 26.2 mile course. The victory came at 2:14:29, for Rocha, the worst time in the race's eight-year history. The first thing the Brazilian did after winning was to check his dock: a time two minutes worse than the one that gave him

second place last year. Thirty one seconds later, Santana, fourth last year, crossed the finishing line. Rocha seemed unaffected by the heat but, in reality, he was so dehydrated that it took him almost two hours until he was able to submit his urine sample for the mandatory drug testing. Rocha and Santana attested once more to writer Euclides da Cunha saying that "the Nordestino (the than from the Northeast) above all is a strong man". Both had trained together for four monthsjin the Brazilian Northeast Summer by' Silvio Hollanda, their common coach. And they had a strategy to win the race. According to Rocha, the problem last year was that he let Treacy take a big advantage, something- he was decided no to let happen again. "We thought that it was too hot to win a good time, declared Rocha after the

With all of this hoopla, the fans' enthusiasm is rising. This is patent in the ebullient mood in which those belonging to the Concacaf are right now. Why, then, does the ..rterican media keep its traditional indifference towards Humankind Game? After all, this is their own World Cup. What a pity they are not able to notice it yet. .And that's sad. "Thanks' to this disinterest by the media, the American fan remains in the dark when soccer is the subject. It's typical to hear in the stadiums the announcer's voice saying that "the referee has the official time". Or to appreciate the aaahhhs of admiration when a defender uses his head. Or to hear questions such-as "Why don't they stop stop the watch when a player is hurt? also: "Why don't they put a player out when the assistant coach has already entered. the field twice to help him? ' This kind of question comes from a fan who believes-he is watching a baseball game, in which two coach visits to the mound in the same inning means an automatic departure for the pitcher. But the saddest part of all this is that the World Cup will get even closer, the World Cup will arrive, the World Cup will be history, and here, football will continue being, simply and depreciatively, soccer.

race. "That's why we decided to spare ourselves for the second part of the course. The Brazilian revealed also that he was attacked by a headache and had pain in one of this thighs. As for the other elite competitors he thinks they didn't use the right strategy: "They went out too fast. Very, very fast. We just continued to work together. Then, at one point, I just turned to Jose and said, 'We're going to win this thing: And we did." Both Ala,goanos said the heat slowed them down but agreed that for their competitors the hot weather was even more damaging. For Rocha, it was his second victory on a major marathon. He also won in Chicago in 1991. As for outpacing Santana it has been the norm. He has beaten his training partner in four of six marathons. For sometime, in the first miles of the race, Delmir dos Santos, another Brazilian, took the lead. He wasn't able to keep the fast pace, however. Rocha ended up winning the Mercedes valued in $35,000 and $2,500 more for finishing in less than 2:15. The second place also took home some cash: $15,000. The Brazilians victory is nothing short of a little miracle. They are very poor, from a poor city, with poor resources for training. Their only sponsor is a little known company called Salgema. That such a town was able to produce the first and second place in a major international event should encourage other athletes and bring other sponsors to the running tracks.
Publishing in Brazil has always been a risky business. Now, to survive, even some serious publishers are getting risque.
Porno to the rescue LUCIANO MILHOMEN
Hajapeito! ! (Bring on the breastsl/ What nerve! double entendre) But then the comic book market doesn't survive simply on Monica and Cebolinha (children's comics). Far from innocent, erotic comic books arrived on the scene to vitalize a market in crisis. It isn't unusual for them to sell more than comic books of the "superheroes" or the hijinks of Donald Duck. In the Book Biennial, which came out in Sao Paulo the latter part of 1992, side by side with the most recent "crop" of Brazilian books, were two more 'splendid' titles in the collection entitled Cole ciio Opera Erotica, put out by the Martins Fontes Company: Amores Loucos, Crazy 'Love') by the Frenchman, Alex Varenne, and C/ic 2, by the Italian, Milo Manara. As if the creme de in creme of international erotic comic books were not enough (dutifully translated and readied for publication in Brazil by Mar-
tins Fontes), the Sampa Pub ishing Company, responsible for the Big Bun label, changed distributors, and now under the label of Top Bun, is introducing yet another series of erotic comic books. The Rem ix Collection arrives on the newsstand with repeats from the extinct Big Bun, as "the best of...". There will be four magazines each month, such as Hot Sex and Anax, ready for delivery to the newsstand. Since September the Top Bun Collection has been putting out unpublished stories in the same piquant (and sometimes vulgar) style of the Big Bun label publications. "The magazines that lowered their standards, began to sell more", reveals Franco De Rosa, publisher of Top Bun erotic comic books, one-time Brazilian illustrator. Even so, the average circulation in the erotic line is only 20,000 copies. "In 1992, there was a decline of approximately 50% in magazine consumption", complains the publisher, who adopted the suggestive pseudonym of Heros de Queirds for the occasion. The Sampa Publishing Co. doesn't have set illustrators for the Top Bun label. Most of them, according to De Rosa, are from outside of sac) Paulo, and they send the material through the mail:They are free-lancers who work under assignment. "The demand is great' , states the publisher, aware of the fact that for an illustrator at the beginning of tis career, erotic comics provide an opportunity to practice drawing anatomy and perspective." The erotic comics serve as a kind of laboratory", he observes. More or less the same thing is happening in this arena that happened with the "boom" in pornographic films in Brazil, which served as excellent technical training for some Brazilian filmmakers. "All that was left over for new writers were erotic or horror comics", finished De Rosa. NEWS from BRAZIL 88 - APRIL 1993 - Page 23
PUBLISHING
Presently, Sampa has over thirty titles of erotic comics published monthly. Even so, the genre is regarded with a certain amount of prejudice, "by artists, as well as by the public". But it is this same public which dictates the direction the publications will take, reveals the publisher. "Up until 1985, the comics were erotic without being pornographic. Then they became pornographic because the public demanded it, the publisher says, and he admits to having "lowered his standards" in order to increase sales. The reader is the one with the power to take the magazines from the rack - that is, to simply buy them or not. The Japinha Safadinha (Litte Naughty Japanese Girl) series, under the Mangd Sex label, had six publications, but a terrible reception. Explicit sex with young girls with slanted eyes appears to not have had much effect on the readers. As with the B movies shown all over the country, pornographic comics follow a formula. De Rosa explains the situation: "The expert was Carlos Magno, who mixed humor with eroticism." Magno died four years ago, at the age of 40, but he left a following. In spite of this, there is no shortage of those who try to follow the style of the European "pros", who are successful in the genre worldwide. Guido Crepox and his ultrasensual Valentina, Georges Pichard and his blazing Paulette, or the torrid scenes from Massimo Rotundo. De Rosa makes the difference between erotic and pornographic comics very clear. Erotic ones, according to him, in general don't include explicitly sexual scenes, and the story line "fires up the imagination". Pornographic ones have abundant explicit sex and weak story lines. That's the case with 99% of the national output in this genre. The Vidente Publishing Co., for example, was unable to resist the sensual appeal of hard-core porno. Under the Hard Core Comics label, distributed nationally, they have four titles on the market; all of them in small format. "Production of erotic comics in Brazil efeita nas coxas (done between the thighs, poorly done - double entendre), confesses Gilberto Firmino, Vidente publisher, who also publishes a line of science fiction like
Paralela which appears under the name of Watson Portela. "We have perfected the catechism", says the publisher ironically, necessarily remembering the work of Carlos Zefiro, who died almost two years ago at the age of 60. He's another one who seems to have created some kind of following with his purely pornographic work. And that's the way it is "nas coxas", and with plenty of them (thighs) on display, in addition to round breasts, and prominent rear ends, among other intimate parts of the female anatomy (primarily), and male anatomy (once in awhile), that are to be found in erotic comic book stories. Firmino has four more titles from a collection that he has published now for two years. They are four series, each one containing different stories. Sexo Quente (Hot Sex) has stories with "only young girls"; Sexo Real (Real-life Sex) has two stories per edition of supposedly real sexual experiences - much in the style of the "Forum" column in the magazine Ele e Ela; Sexo Livre (Free 'Love') takes advantage of those who prefer degenerate, obscene acts, and orgies"; and Sexo Vivo (Live Sex) - first published at the end of 1991 - carries adventures always "of a younger person with an older one." But Firmino also complains about a drop in sales. Vidente Publishing Co. dropped Maxi Man, stories with a set character: a detective who became involved in sex cases. In its place, so that no one takes the crisis too seriously, Super-Sri tira Erotica and Sensuela will be published. The first one will contain pornosatire about cartoon, television, and movie stars a type of hard-core Mad Magazinestyle lampooning. But the second one, which carries the name of the main character, will feature the adventures of a set character, who, without a doubt, exudes sexuality from every pore. "Erotic comics sell better than adventure or fiction", reveals Firmino. Those who enjoy them, and who aren't embarrassed about it, should be crossing their fingers and wringing their hands. Ramazaki Publishing Co., which up until the middle of 1992 specialized in coloring books and such, is now entering head-first into the erotic comic book market.
Page 24 - NEWS from BRAZIL 88 - APRIL 1993
With an average circulation of 20,000 copies, (the same as Top Bun, from Editora Sampa), this publisher has four erotic magazines on the newsstands. According to the publisher, Paulo Ramazaki, they are comics which call attention to themselves as an "appeal to buy". They're already on the market: Excitaciio, Momentos Eroticos, Desejos Insacitiveis (Insatiable Desires), and Prazeres Proibidos (Forbidden Pleasures) - all forecast to be published monthly. Ramazaki is counting on his readership to be mainly teenagers, in spite of the "18 years and above" warning. As with all other publishers' magazines, these magazines are sealed in plastic and show no frontal nudity on the covers. "But young people don't respect these boundaries", says Ramazaki, aware of the fact that the lack of enforcement guarantees him better sales than the joke, gossip or coloring magazines that he is used to putting out. Without permanent illustrators or writers, Ramazaki Publishing farms out their stories to both amateur and professional illustrators who hide behind their pseudonyms. Translated by Kathryn Lucas
Is this art? Hardly Who are these erotic comics for? Publishers don't try to hide the facts. Readers are mainly adolescents. It's easy to guess what kind of thrills they are seeking. "Our erotic comic magazines are for readers looking for sexual excitement, says Paulo Ramazald, of Ramazaki Publishing Co. It's also easy to imagine what these readers get: a poor quality product, with amateur' sh dra wings and plots that are merely pretexts for explicitly sexual situations. The language is vulgar, the characters are trite, and creativity is essentially lacking. But it is naive to believe that the publishers and the illustrators themselves don't know what they are doing. Rarnazaki Publishing, for example, has been around for eight years, but due to the crisis, decided to invest in the erotic comic line in 1992. They released onto the newsstands en edition of 20,000 comic
books, in newsprint and small format. The titles speak for themselves: Excitation, Sexual Math, Erotic Moments, Insatiable Desires. Vulgar porno film productions with bizarre titles and actors lacking even the remotest acting abilities only frighten those who haven't read pornographic comics. They are equally as crude, or possibly more so, than the "porno productions" at the movies. Even so, it's good to keep in mind that not everything in the world of sensuous' comics is this way. There are good artists and writers who aren't opposed to the erotic - an area of production which is as capable of good quality as any other. Such is the case with Milo Manara. This Italian artist - one of the best in the world of the Italian comics virtually explodes with eroticism in his beautiful drawings, such as in Curia Metragem - The Diary of Sandra F. -undeniably sensual. journey to Tulum, a Fellim story, is another fine example. The same is true of Massimo Rotundo, also Italian, who with his Ex-Libris Erotic's, proves that it is possible to be erotic and sensual, without being vulgar.

PROFILE
Brasilian with an "s" Carioca, one of the seminal figures in tl bossa nova movement, Castro-Neves is today a success in Hollywood. But he's always going back to his roots. FRANCINE ALEXANDER
"When I was growing up, I used to listen to jazz. And record stores would import albums from the United States. I'd read the liner notes, see the photograph of the artist. Today, a lot of those musicians are my studio peers. I don't think I'll• ever be able to be blasÊ about that." Oscar Castro-Neves is indeed right in the midst of all things great and musical. At age 52, he is truly a world-class artist, with a professional career spanning almost 30 years and reaching into every avenue-performing, composing, arranging, orchestrating, scoring, and producing. One of the founders of the bossa nova movement, his list of associates runs the gamut from Antonio Carlos jobim and Joao Gilberto to Barbara Streisand and Michael Jackson. Amidst this achievement, he continues to express a deep appreciation for his colleagues and his business. "This city is really special," he says of Los Angeles, where he has lived for the past 25 years. "The movie industry, the record industry, the TV industry are established here, so level of musical proficiency in Los Angeles is almost unsurpassed anywhere else. At nine o'clock in the morning you're in the studio with eight guys, and you count "one, two," and they play and the first take is wonderful. I feel lucky to be working here." Last year, working with partner Joel Moss, Castro-Neves undertook staging the sell-out show at the Hollywood Bowl, bringing Toots Thielemans, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Dori Caymmi, and Ivan Lins to the L.A. venue after the successful release of Thielemans's Brazilian Project album. This year, he's working on Brazilian Project II, uniting the same artists including Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Edu Lobo, and Eliana Elias - with new songs. "It's nice to see the culture of my country being spread that way. Above everything, I'm proud to be Brazilian."
Today Castro-Neves attacks a multitude of projects with the enthusiasm and commitment of an Olympic athlete. The short list: he is scoring two films, launching a record company, composing for his next JVC album, producing a pianist from Bulgaria, producing a singer from Brazil, and maintaining a schedule to make a marathon runner breathless. "I have a very severe critic inside me," he says. "I always think I'm not doing what I should be doing. Actually that's why I keep busy. I'm hoping for things I haven't done yet. For me, getting older - I won't say old, but older - means that I have less time to accomplish the myriad of things that I'd like to do." An avid reader, Castro-Neves searches science, politics, and art for new knowledge and experiences. "I hope more and more that I can be 40 socially involved and more socially responsible," he says. "I care for the environment and I'm trying to do my share." Castro-Neves made one contribution by scoring a documentary released a year and a half ago and sponsored by Sting. Burning Down the Future, a film about the deforestation of the Amazon was one of five documentaries nominated for an Academy Award in 1991. These days, Castro-Neves is using his free time for morning trips to the museum and for reading up on the Macintosh computer, which he finds useful for orchestrating. "I try to read a lot about what's new, what's available, and where the technology is going. Being a producer, you want to be on the forefront of technology - even to decide not to use it. Sometimes I go all the way to the farthest end of technology, smetimes I do the opposite. But it's by choice instead of not knowing. That makes a big difference." Castro-Neves made his first appearance in the United States in 1962, collaborating with other trendsetters to stage this country's first bossa nova concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City. At that time, a newspaper strike prevented widespread reviews of the performances. Today, well established in the entertainment industry and working on major upcoming film projects such as Mr. Wonderful, starring William Hurt, and Disney's Indian Summer, Castro-Neves still attempts to maintain a sense of experimentation and novelty about his life and his work. "I still feel like I'm a student in life," he says. "There's always something to learn. I'm choosing to open my eyes and my ears and my heart to the new. And I hope I'll use whatever clarity I have gotten in the past and have the courage to go for the unexplored. And that's primarily what I try to do, I try to be open for tomorrow." • NEWS from BRAZIL 88. APRIL 1993 - Page 27

Brazilian critics are raving. Some are even betting he will happen soon here in the U.S. CARLOS EDUARDO MIRANDA
"I can identify myself with Vanilla Ice in one point - We both said stupid things in the beginning of our career. He said that he was a tough guy off the streets and I said that I wanted to make a lot of money m rock 'n' roll, which pissed off the critics. But what's wrong about being white and singing rap?" And what's wrong if a rich, good looking guy, son of famous parents wants to play rock? Apparently nothing. But only now, with one of the best smash hits in the history of Brazilian rock, it can be said that Supla is getting rid of the spoiled, rich family brat image. It took a long time. Supla has been involved with rock since he was a kid. "I lived in California during the 70's," he says, "and all you heard was Dylan, Janis, Stones. Then I came back to Brazil and went to live with my grandparents. Living right across the street was a beatlemaniac. We put a band together named Os Impossiveis (The Impossibles). We used to play our own songs as well as those of the Beatles and the Stones. At 16 I went to Hawaii, tried some drugs for the hell of it, went a bit too far, then I got back and into boxing again to put my head and body together. About this time I discovered the B52' s and Devo. I could just watch that guy going down on all fours and singing Mongoloid ." After these juvenile adventures, Supla graduated into a new band, Zig-Zag, then to Metropolis playing drums, and finally came to Tokyo. The goal has always been the same - pure entertainment. He bleached his hair for fun, and for that special California Thing. But this ended up working against Supla: the accusations of him being a Billy Idol clone started to fly. "I think it was unfair," he says. I was only a kid starting to sing. The record company set us up. We just wanted to play and fuck around. After almost giving up his career, playing and fucking around is exactly what Supla has been doing. Thanks to producer Joao Barone of Paralarnas, who convinced him to come back from Los Angeles and to go back into the recording studio after the Rock in Rio concert, Supla got the hottest trio in the market: the Busic brothers Ivan and Andrea, ex- Taffo , plus guitar player Eduardo 'Traira, exAnjos da Noite. Also the veteran Luis Carlini to play some Hawaiian guitars. The result is even more surprising than his new-look (he came back to his natural brown hair) and the display of asses in his new clip Encoleirado (On A Leash). As if the power of his rock was not enough, Supla sings a version of Voce Nilo Entende Nada (that one by Chico Buarque/Caetano Veloso) and the ballads Break the Ice and Voce so Pensa no Patna.
Joke no more THALES DE MENEZES
It took a long time, but it finally came out: a Brazilian rock record which can be listened to from beginning to end. Supla is a surprising album, a knock-out sound. A record from kids who Page 28 - NEWS from BRAZIL 88 - APRIL 1993
MUSIC liked Red Hot Chili Peppers and not Pink Floyd. A record for those who like skating and fast-food. More than others, Supla always has to prove himself: he carries on his shoulders the weight of his famous parents. To many, hewill eternally be the rich kid's son who plays at being a rocker. Nobody took his first band, Tokyo very seriously, and insisted on labeling his solo album as an imitation of Billy Idol. Nonsense. At that time Supla was already giving all the signs that he could go much further than that. And nowhe's done it. Those who watch MTV must have already seen the clip Encoleirado (On a Leash) the opening track of the LP. Great sons, great clip. It reflects what the album is all about. Heavy guitars, bass and drums with one foot in Rock, and the other in Funk, all with an urgent and nervous mix. And of course, the lyrics. As subtle as the Chain Saw massacre. Encoleirado, Sal pra lá Vudu (Go away Vudu), Menina de Familia (Family Girl) and American Boy are pure power. These four are the best tracks of the LP, plus Break the Ice, written in English and a real pearl of the Pop pops. This one could make it onto the American Charts. It shows how Lloyd Cole could sing if he only stopped being so dainty and incorporated his rock and roll side. This time Supla has put together an excellent band. Eduardo Ardanuy holds up well on the guitar, but the power is really with the brothers Andria (bass) and Ivan Busic (drums). All the technique they displayed in Taffo finds more resonance now with Supla's heavy Funk. The production of Joao Barone, drummer of Paralamas ,leaves some loose threads behind, a fact that has some advantages and some shortcomings. The garage sound works for many tracks, but here and there we miss a heavier, denser sound. The overriding merit of Supla is the fact that his communication with teens is very straightforward. By teens! mean those from 12 to 30 with no hang-ups, the orphans of Brazilian Rock, a public which tries to survive between the head poetry of Engenheiros do Hawai and the sensitive militancy of Renato Russo. Supla is like Faith no More with better lyrics - and in Portuguese. If Supla keeps the same band and producer in a next album, the result could be very cool. Listening to this one, we are left with the feeling that things could get even better. These kids will go far.

ing for the music? ry the food. The biggest names in Jazz are always filling up Le Café's nights with upbeat accords. LOU AFFAME
Le Café, in the Los Angeles San Fernando Valley, is not a Brazilian restaurant. But it has become a frequent stop for the best Brazilian musicians. Dori Caymmi, Kleber Jorge, Rique Pantoja, just to cite a few, are a constant presence there. So, we felt it was time to try their food. B. and I went to Le Café on a Monday evening just about the time Americans use to have dinner: 6:30 PM. The house was kind of empty, but there was enough people to avert that uneasy feeling of being the only one at a restaurant. Candle lights and a well decorated environment gave

us a very good first impression. They have a very relaxing atmosphere. We didn t have to wait for the attendant and we were sat down at a non smoking table. The menu is what we usually call international. Entrees, salads, seafood, meat and pasta. B. chose a Louisiana Seafood Brochette and I had a Linguini al Pesto. To drink, she opted for a glass of house wine and I had tomato juice. They served us a sourdough bread with butter, but we barely had time to start nibbling at it, when our order was served. In five minutes, we had it all on our table. As far I am concerned, both tasted great. But B. thought the brochette was on the side of too spicy. We've made a deal, sharing our goodies with each other. She took half of my pasta and in exchange! was able to enjoy a little of catfish, shrimp and salmon. The portions were very light, not enough to tame two hearty appetites. At least, it wasn't one of those regular American restaurants with that boring salad or soup, potato or rice. I wondered if we shouldn't have asked for an entrée. B. didn't appreciate her wine either. At the end she had an expresso and I had a cappuccino. They were just OK. Prices at Le Café range from $4.50 for the cheapest entrée to $17.50 for the most expensive steak. For all we had, we've spent $38 including tip. They take credit cards, naturally. Another good thing about the jazzy restaurant is that they serve sandwiches and pizza after 10 PM. A very good option for those who like to take a bite late at night. For those who love beer there are plenty of choices. Parking at the Ventura Blvd. can be tough, but for a mere $1.50 you can get yourself valet parking.

BEHAVIOR
'this last Carnaval, they sambaed, Athey sweated, they enjoyed themselves, and they didn't care what the rest of the world was saying.
Sure, they are Baianos! EDGARDO QUINTANILLA
Who won the Carnaval wars? The Cariocas said they did. Some Baianos said that they were the winners. The rest of Bahia's residents, however, seemed so intent on having fun that they couldn't care less who came first. A seemingly impartial jury, Veja, a magazine from Sao Paulo - a city called Samba's grave by some - declared on its cover: Bahia won. Bahia has continued to attract a great number of visitors this Summer. Tourists visited Bahia not only for the Carnaval in Salvador city, but also for Bahia's unique culture. It's believed that half a million tourists have been to Bahia the first quarter of 1993, spend $125 million dollars. In the first two months of this year alone about 966 charter flights arrived at Salvador's airport. It is estimated that two thousand foreign tourists, half of whom are from Argentina, arrive daily at Bahia's capital. From Diciontirio ite Minutes, by Nivaldo Lariti -Before Carnaval, and worried about the increasins pull of tourist dollars to Bahia, Rio de Dar rasteira em cobra (to trip a snake up) - to be Janeiro s (D Globo compared the Carnaval in Rio drunk and Bahia noting that in Rio besides its tradition, De twist em cttju (from cashew to cashew) - once there are more comfort and better accommodain a while tions.

Ver Miguel (go see Miguel) - go to the john Unlike the rest of Brazil, radio stations in Bahia do not play Madonna or Michael Jackson, preferring such bands as Asa de Aguia (Wing of Eagle), Raizes do Pelt) (Roots of Pelourinho - a square in Salvador) and a singer called Ze Paulo, creator of the pornophonic Rala o Pinto (Grate the Dick) - a hit of this year's Carnaval. Bahia has also its own local recording market. Salvador has 10 recording studios, which last year released 150 records solely for the city of Salvador. It is estimated that in 1992, five million records were sold in the state of Bahia. Veja has noted that Bahia moves to its own sense of time - a laid-back style. A sense of time embodied by the rapaz (the young man). The rapaz is the excuse some Brazilians jokingly use to explain why certain things do not happen when they are supposed to happen. An excuse similar to the American expression, "The devil made me do it !" Along with Florianopolis, Salvador has the fame of being the largest tropical gay capital of the world. Salvador s Legislature has declared June 28th as Day of National Gay Pride, and in 1991, it passed a law prohibiting any discrimination because of sexual orientation. The increase of visitors to Bahia is expected to continue. Some say prices there are very cheap. Rumors like that don't hurt.

The Cathedral and its stained glass windows a master-piece
On the morning of April 21, 1960, after 1,000 days of work in the highland slopes of the state of Goias, the new capital of Brazil was founded. The strong humanistic concern of the urban conception by LUcio Costa, two main points that cross in a right angle, was the perfect canvas for architect Oscar Niemeyer's buildings. It resulted in one of the richest showcases of contemporary architecture, an organized community life, located about 620 from Rio as well as Sao Paulo. Brasilia was planned in a futuristic style to suit the city's unique role, and the common people's needs, creating such dreamland manifestations as the complete elimination of traffic intersections. Some people, however, have criticized the city for being car-friendly and people-unfriendly and they also have spread rumors that on weekends Brasilia is a ghost town with politicians fleeing to
Shapely, gracious, spiritual Brasilia "This is another planet", said Russian cosmonaut Yuri ("The earth is blue") Gaga/in when landing there for the first time.

In an airplane shape, the Plano Piloto starts on the east side, at the huge artificial Paranod Lake, with the Alvorada Palace. It is the presidential residence, containing paintings by great names of contemporary art. The building is next to the main axis that includes the Praca dos Tres Poderes (plaza of the three powers) with the Historical Museum, and sculptures like the impressive Candangos, by Bruno Giorgi, representing the builders of Brasilia. The grandiose buildings of the plaza are the Palacio do Planalto (the President's executive offices), the Palacio daJustica (the Supreme Court), and the Palacio do Congresso, with its distinctive two "plates," being the convex the House of Representatives, the concave the Sen-

BRAZIL ON STAGE In contemporary Brazil, the arrival of a young governess shatters the apparent peace in the life of Martin and his wife Angelica. The story converted into the awardwinning drama To Kill a Mandarin is a metaphor for the present Brazilian society chaos. Written by Brazilian Sol Biderman, To Kill a Mandarin is having its world premiere, this April 3, at the Chamber Theater in Studio City (Los Angeles area) for a six week run. The couple is played by Drew Snyder and Wendy Robie of Twin Peaks fame (she was the eye-patch wearing, neurotic Nadine). According to director Susan Snyder, " the play reflects Brazil as it is today and how it survives". Mandarin is also about class struggle and the question whether Good can preside over Evil. Performances are Friday and Saturday (8:00 PM), and Sunday (2:00 PM & 7:00 PM). Address: 3759 Cahuenga Blvd. Both performances Easter Sunday will be free. For tickets call (213) 660TKTS.

The technique of accelerated learning, as used by these foreign language courses, allows anyone to comfortably converse in a new language within 30 days. Accelerated learning, developed by famed learning expert Dr. Georgi Lozanov, is based on involving both hemispheres of the brain in the education process. The analytical (or logical) left side of the brain, when properly activated with the musical (or artistic) right side, both increases the speed and heightens the retention of learning. Using these untapped mental capacities of your learning a bil ity is the basis of these unique, highly effective courses. "American Managers with Lang-uage Skills Open More Doors" Sirwt loorrhil You will learn your WV, language as stress/s vqr as a child does, by hearing new vocabulary and phrases in alternately loud, whispered, and emphatic intonations, all accompanied by slow rhythmic music in digital stereo. This perfect combination of music and words allow the two halves of the brain to work together to dramatically facilitate your assimilation of the new language. The memory tapes of this 30-tape package help activate the learning capacities of the brain. The study tapes are the same proven tapes used by the Foreign Service Institute to train its career diplomats.
