Eating the ball! What do you' mean? This is the literal translation of a very Brazilian expression: contend° a bola. It's the same as saying jogando um bolero. Still not clear? It means playing soccer exceptionally well. And that's the dream of 150 million Brazilians, ineluding more than 20,000 that are expected in the stadiums where Brazil is going to play, that their na-

tional soccer team will win, win, win, up to the final in the Rose Bowl, in Los Angeles.

Victory is a scream that's stuck in our throats since our voice became hoarse from the 1970 celebrations, when we won in Mexico the World Cup for the third and last time. Since then the fasting has been harsh on us.

It's been a long two and a half decades. No wonder our players and we ourselves are starving and ready to eat this ball without further ado.

With the country in a mode of despair and hopelessness compounded

CONTENTS

by the sudden and untimely departure of Formula One champion Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian collective soul is pining for a compensation. We can anticipate thebatucada, the rooting songs and the shouts of Brazil, Brazil, that will echo from San Francisco to Detroit and then to Los Angeles.

Shouts that will be heard in every American corner and that will resonate across the planet, while Brazil washes its soul with tears of joy. Let Brazil dream the very possible dream.

E ate bent breve.

RRPIDIPIHRS Play girl Brazil has been a big exporter of soccer aces. In the past they all have been guys. Not any more. Gaucho Isabel Cristina de Aratijo Nunes, 27, is already with her new teammates on Italy's Verona female soccer team. The belle, who has been playing futebol since she was 8, was sold for an undisclosed sum and salary plus such perks as a car, a house. plane tickets to Brazil and bonuses for every victory.

Why has the three-time champion with the International of Rio Grande do Sul state decided to leave Brazil? -In Italy, they have more appreciation for my line of work," she says.

Love

Fit fora king "This is the best day of my life," said fiancĂŠe Assiria.

But it was the groom Pele who wouldn't stop crying while Ivan Lins's song "Viesta" was being played.

Mr. Edson Arantes do Nascimento met Pernambucana psychologistAssiria Seixas Lemos. 34, eleven years ago in New York. Things got serious only two years ago when they got reacquainted.

The marriage didn't happen before because Assiria's American ex-husband made it hard for her to get a divorce, and even threatened to keep custody of their 10 year old daughter. After a civil ceremony in Las Vegas, the couple married at the Episcopal Anglican Church of Recife (Pernambuco state) on April 30.

With all the World Cup commotion. the real honeymoon will have to wait.

Carlos Alberto Parreira, headcoach for the Brazilian soccer team, is covering all the bases. "It won't be for lack of sex that Brazilians will not win the World Cup," he said, freeing his players to enjoy the pleasures under the sheets. But he added some ice to the burning flesh, "They all should be thinking about one thing only : winning the Cup." Some Brazilians are personae non gratae in the U.S..

Although the country has been the Pan-American champion in karate for three times, four of the national karate team players couldn't obtain a visa to dispute the championship in Miami.

Reason? They are Mineiros.

Most of the undocumented Brazilian immigrants to the U.S. come from Minas Gerais.

Does the U.S. care about Brazil? Since November the American embassy in Brasilia has been empty. President Clinton has nominated Melvyn Levitslcy to fill up that post but the Yankee Senate doesn't seem to be in a hurry to approve the name.

Chico Mendes's widow, Ilzamar Gadelha Mendes, hired a lawyer to prevent Warner Brothers from filming the life of her husband, the Amazon union leader and environmentalist murdered in 1988. She had sold the rights for the movie to filmmaker Joffre Rodrigues for $1.7 million, who resold it to Warner. Now, Ilzamar, who has found out how easily money multiplies in Hollywood, wants another $1 million, alleging that the first contract has expired.

IBGE (Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics) has just released its first favela (shanty town) census ever. There are 3,233 of them all through the country. adding to 949.911 shacks. Most of favelas (1.257) are in Sao Paulo followed by Rio (661).

Brazil's Opponents - According to CBF records provided

by Administrator Americo Faria, Brazil has a winning record in friendly and tournament competition against fifteen of the twenty-four nations represented in World Cup USA 94, if we 4221 Wilshire Bl. #391 - Los Angeles, CA 90010 also consider the matches against the disbanded USSR, Brazil has Fax (213) 525-1584 a losing lifetime record against Holland and an even record against both Italy and Argentina in friendly and tournament plays.

According to these same records, Brazil has never played against five of this year's World Cup participants: Morocco, Nigeria, Greece, South Korea and Group B opponent Cameroon.

Parreira said he felt that the World Cup draw actually gave Brazil the "hardest and most competitive group." When a reporter opined that every coach says that about their own group, Parreira took exception and briefly discussed each of his known opponents.

He felt Sweden would be the strongest opponent and remarked about the recent history of World Cup encounters and Brazil's difficult win over them in the 1990 and the 1982 World Representing.

There are so many comments that "s* I can make, but here are a few: 1) It's a pity that Lilian Ramos 5 didn't raid the underwear drawer of • Itamar Franco before appearing with • him at Carnaval. Wearing men's underwear would have been better than going without. (And the Brazilian people would have been able to see for them.-. selves whether their president prefers 0. briefs or boxers!)

2) Now that News from Brazil has s published interviews of both leading presidential candidates, I think that Brazilians would be fortunate if they induct either Lula or Fernando Henrique Cardoso into the Palacio da Alvorada...

When will Brazil have a democratic leader who will bring his (or her?) nation to the greatness and social justice that it deserves?

way I was hearing what she was telling me. For once I wanted to misunderstand her. She was telling me that Senna was dead.

My initial reaction was shock. Just earlier that morning, I had read about Austrian Formula One race driver Roland Ratzenberger's fatal crash and how Senna in grief refused to drive in a qualifying round.

Then denial struck. I began to hope that this was what my sogra was reporting to me. Then I became angry and I declared I would never care about race car driving again.

Ironically, when I got that call from Brazil I was in the middle of a cheerful letter to my in-laws. In the emotion of it all I ended that letter semi-irrationally by writing that it's hard to imagine North Americans crying in the streets mourning the death of a "national hero". That, of course, is simply not true. JFK's and Martin Luther King's assassinations were a major blow to the nation in a volatile time. John Lennon's murder caused a national depression as well. But as the May 10 Los Angeles Times so aptly put it, it's the way a people mourn that tells much about a nation's character.

That over half a million people, many covered in rose petals, others with theirfaces painted black, showed up in grief to the funeral says a lot. That it was for a race car driver says much, much more. Senna, who was 34, was one of Brazil's bright points of light. He was the country's extension to the world, high above the deceptive media painted images of a land where children were being killed in the streets of Rio and politicians were stealing millions right out of the very pockets of the poor.

He stood for much more than patriotic pride. Ayrton Senna was a pain killer for the people. He helped them forget the woes of the country. How else to explain the outrage that seethed out of Brazilian newspaper columns. Some went on to accuse Formula One officials of murder. Others, shouted out that at the very least some injustice had been committed. The pain even exposed itself in the suicide note of .a Curitiba woman who declared: "I'm going to join Senna."

Interestingly enough, for years Senna was remembered for his feuds with other drivers as much as his exploits on the track. The barbs he traded through the press with French world champion Alain Prost were legendary. In fact his moodiness and his stormy relationship with the press hardly painted an image of a man of the people. He was private, introspective and a mystic. A man who would close his eyes and put both hands on his car before each race. But he was a winner and Brazil cherished what so few it had.

For the rest of the world he was one of the best Formula One race car drivers of his day. Many have said he was the greatest of all-time, winning more races quicker than anyone before. In 1991 he became the youngest pilot to win three world championships. This was a driver in his prime. His peak was still on the way and everybody knew it.

But now Senna has become myth. He has always been admired and now he will always be adulated. I began to follow him soon after I met my wife and I was fascinated by the way all of our Brazilian friends spoke about him as if he was the best thing to happen to Formula One since the invention of . the wheel. For Brazil. he was.

a prisoner has to be taken out for medical treatment, it implies a reduction of available agents at the prison, since each prisoner has to be accompanied by an agent.

Brazil's Federal District jail system is made up of three jail facilities, each with a capacity for approximately 650 inmates; the truth is, however, that there are at least over 800 prisoners within each of the three facilities.

In Ceara State, the picture is similarly depressing. In spite of the fact that Ceara seems to have enough available space, the truth of the matter is that there are not sufficient funds to maintain and keep the jails running. It costs the State the equivalent of two and a half minimum wages to keep the inmate in.

Law number 7,210 exempts private investors who choose to invest capital in in-house micro-businesses within minimum security jail facilities, from any sort of income taxes. However, few investors have taken up the offer. "In spite of the advantages," says Minister of Justice Antonio Tavares, "no one wants to invest in hoodlums."

Of Sao Paulo's 52,000 inmates, almost seven thousand are HIV positive. More than 900 of them are females in a population of 3,000. The dark shadow of this killer disease mixes with the other sorrows of Sao Paulo's jail population. And although a brand new hospital facility has been built for AIDS patients in crisis, as soon as the inmate rebounds, he is returned to the general jail population, where a relapse is almost certain.

The problem is not unknown to the penal authorities in Sao Paulo. Ten mini-jail facilities are currently under construction, which will open some 5,000 spots for the inmates. Furthermore, a Penitentiary Academy will help train directors and corrections guards.

Sao Paulo's major problem areas are at Franco da Rocha, Hipodromo and Carandiru jails, the latter quite infamous due to a 1992 massacre in which 111 prisoner were killed after a rebellion. The authorities have given up fixing Carandini. The facility will be closed and the area transformed into a park. The problems range from overcrowding to architectual inadequacy.

The Conselho Nacional de Politica Criminal e Penitenciaria (CNPCP) or National Council for Criminal and Penitentiary Policy has already determined that at least 130 new jail facilities shall have to be built, at a cost of $15 million each, to be able to cope with the explosion of jail overcrowding.

Each will hold an average of 500 inmates, and follow the guidelines recommended by the United Nations. Brazil has a current deficit of about 75,000 cells.

According to CNPCP President Edmundo Oliveira, there is a lack of political will to try and solve the problems relating to incarceration and lack of jail facilities. "Each cell costs $40,000 to build," states Oliveira, "which equals the cost of building eight low-income homes."

Of the 297 current jail facilities, about 175 function in a very precarious manner, where promiscuity and violence are the rules of the road. There are 127,000 inmates in Brazil crammed into an area that can house no more than 52,000 people, and it is estimated that over 95% of them are from the poorest social classes.

Although the Brazilian Constitution forbids work before 14, about 2 million children between the ages of 10 and 13 are working in Brazil.

In some states, 36% of the children at that age group are at work. You might be surprised to know that the majority of the violations are not among the poor families.

CARLOS RAVELO

A recent investigation by the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics (IBGE) has destroyed certain prevailing myths relating to Brazil's labor market. An example: it was always thought that most children that worked were located either in the larger cities or in the northeastern region of Brazil. It has been determined that although legions of children do fall into those areas, the vast number are children who live in rural areas and work with their parents, mostly in the southern part of the country.

NEWS from BRAZIL - JUNE 1994

Most children in the southern states of Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul between the ages of 10 and 13, living in the rural areas, work. And although most of these children work an average of about 40 hours per week, they are not the hunger-driven, uneducated rneninos de rua (street children)or favelados (shanty town dwellers) prevalent in the larger city.

Most do go to school, have decent meals and are well clothed and taken care of by their parents. The research was initiated under the auspices and recommendations of world renowned sociologist Herbert de Souza (Betinho), who guided the "campaign against hunger" in Brazil.

Although Brazil's constitution strictly forbids minors of less than 14 years of age from working, almost 2 million children between the ages of 10 and 13 do work in Brazil. They make up 15% of all children within that age group, and are about 3% of the country's total work force of 66 million. In the larger cities like Sao Paulo, minors make-up an insubstantial :number of the total work force, in Sao Paulo's case, roughly 47,000 children out of about 1.5 million pre-teens. That is about 3%, compared to 36% in the south, 29% in the northeast, and 21% in the southeast.

As presented by Veja, a Brazilian weekly magazine, the Derlam family, in a rural town outside of Porto Alegre in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, is a prime example. Father Geraldo, mother Cloreci, both worked as chil-

dren. Nowadays, daughters Joseane (12) and Fabiane (14) help the parents collect and load dozens of boxes of oranges harvested by them at their farm. Both daughters produce more than half of the harvest.

The bottom line is that the work ethic goes down from one generation to the next, regardless of what Brazil's federal constitution has to say about the matter.

Furthermore, the financial crisis that has whipped Brazil for the last 6 years has turned this option into a matter of sheer survival. But the other statistic - which is also awesome - is that a substantial proportion of these children work without receiving any sort of pay.

Of the states that have the largest number of unpaid persons which work, those same three in the south (Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul), and Piaui in the northeast, head the list.

Another interesting statistic dug-up by the IBGE has been one relating to differences in salaries depending on the gender and the person's race. Whites earn more than blacks. Nothing new there, but in Curitiba, for example, the difference in salaries between whites and blacks is substantially

less than elsewhere. Curitiba was a city almost entirely populated by Europeans. Bahia, has almost an African city in Salvador, where salaries differ much more. That is, in Curitiba a white male earns 1.5 times more than his black counterpart. In Salvador the difference is more than 3 to 1.

IB GE President Silvio Miciotti says: "In the south, both blacks and whites are more educated than people from the northeast. Education is the most efficient way of balancing and distributing opportunities equally, and that is precisely why the salary differences is smaller in Curitiba than it is in Bahia." Brazil's minimum salary is amongst the lowest in the world, and in fact many people actually work for less than the minimum (around $60 a month) to be able to Survive.

And with a 1.8% growth rate in births, the country seems unable to supply a sufficient number of jobs to keep up with the demand. A formal salaried job with fringe benefits is still something scarce in Brazil. States Work Minister Walter Barelli, "That is a definite sign of under-development." a

NEWS from BRAZIL - JUNE 1994

Lula's Rx Don't just tell us what to do about the Amazon, says Brazilian front-runner presidential candidate Luiz !flack) da Silva.

Contribute something more than words!

EMERSON LU[S

The natives from the Amazon forest seem to be able to survive almost on palm trees alone. They use them as food and with them they make weapons and toys, clothes, canoes, houses, fish nets, medicine and fuel.

Since Brazil's discovery by the Portuguese in 1500, the five million Indians who lived in the country have been reduced to 200,000. For 10,000 years however, they've been able to practice so-called sustainable agriculture in the forest.

These and other facts and numbers - like the information that every 15 minutes the Amazon loses an area equivalent to New York's Central Park or 50 acres a minute - were repeated during the recent Amazon Week V organized in New York by Amanaka'a (from the Indian words for rain and forest) Amazon Network.

The conference this year included such guests as Indian leaders Davi Kopenawa Yanomami and Martha Silva Vitor Guarani who participated in panel discussions. Brazilian Minister of the Economy, Rubens Ricupero and human rights activist Bianca Jagger also participated as special guests.

The big star of the meeting, however, was Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the front-runner Brazilian presidential candidate (more than 40% of the likely voters according to May polls) who took a break from his fastpaced campaign in Brazil to participate in the Amazon Week and meet U.S. leaders and media representatives.

Mr. Self Assured himself, Lula just before leaving to the States declared to foreign correspondents in Brasilia that he would win the elections in the first round.

In a surprising move to those who accuse the former Union leader of extreme leftist positions and exaggerated nationalism, Lula declared that he considers "totally possible" a link between the preservation of the Amazon and the re-negotiation of the Brazilian foreign debt.

In Washington, the presidential hopeful criticized an agreement signed April 15 by Brazil with the World Bank to reschedule $49 billion of the country's debt. He also reaffirmed his intention of going back to the

negotiation table in case he wins.

The candidate, in talks with American congressional leaders, said that he is open to discuss in internationalforums "a development model for the Amazon region that takes into consideration the benefits of preserving this so-called lung of the world for all mankind."

Da Silva stressed however that the Amazon cannot simply be declared a mankind patrimony to remain untouched from now on. "While humankind seems increasingly worried with the preservation of the Amazon," said Lula, "Brazil has 18 million people living there who want to eat, work and have access to. the modern world's conveniences."

If the world is really interested in preserving the region, words and protest alone won't do any good, according to him. The so ution will require massive and costly

investment to allow the peoples of the area to survive and prosper without destroying the environment. Otherwise, he concludes, they will continue logging, fishing without control and dumping mercury in the rivers.

Lula' s Workers' Party (PT) has used the candidate's trip to divulge his platform. The Amazon is mentioned as a matter of human rights and environment in his government program. The PT says that it is committed to protect the rights and the lands of the Amazon's inhabitants with programs to "Establish a new policy by and for the indigenous peoples. Demarcate land traditionally occupied by indigenous peoples. Survey land conflicts on indigenous lands, using agrarian reform to resettle intruders. Empower the native peoples to protect their own environment."

As for the environmental side of it, the PT's Platform reads: " The Brazilian environ-

ment is being destroyed at an accelerating pace, with virtually no legal restraints, and no recourse by those most directly impacted. To stop and reverse, this disastrous trend, there is a growing need for agrarian reform and ecologically sound agriculture."

They present measures for four broad areas of the country: throughout Brazil, the caatinga (dry brush lands) and cerrado (savannas), the pantanal (the Mato Grosso state's wetlands) and the Amazon. For., this last area, the proposals are: "Reorient investments to envi-

ronmentally and socially sustainable extractive activities.

Designate extractive reserves.

Undertake a complete review of current policies on hydroelectric dams and mines. Emphasize river transportation.

Respect and enhance traditional medicine and exploit medicinal plants with self-sustaining methods."

JEFF OAKAR

Rique Pantoja's incessantly smiling eyes drift around the stage like a butterfly. First they land on the sax player, then they shift to the drummer and finally they spot the bass player behind him only to start the whole process again. During one of his performances, Pantoja plays frontman but also the proverbial fly on the wall content to just sit there watching his bandmates stretch out a bit on the music he loves to write.

It's Saturday night at the Le CafĂŠ jazz club in Sherman Oaks (Greater Los Angeles) but for Pantoja it's like a day at the playground. He loves what he is doing and he likes where he is doing it. Despite the fires, mudslides and earthquakes, the Southern California is where this Brazilian proudly calls home. "I like L.A.," he said. "It's interesting... I've lived in many places like Paris. for example, but Los Angeles is spread out. Everyone is here to achieve success or fame. It's recognized as one of the biggest gates; a door to the planet."

It's a door this Carioca (native of Rio) plans on keeping wide open.

Brazilians may know Pantoja from his work with the instrumental group Cama dc Gato but although he is known as a jazz fusion keyboard and player songwriter his talents aren't limited to one genre. In fact he grew up like many of his Brazilian contempo ra ries admiring the Beatles and listening to James Taylor.

"I've always had a passion for music, my father played piano and although I listened to a lot of jazz musicians like Miles (Davis) and Joe Coltrane, I also listened to a lot of rock and MPB (Brazilian Popular Music)," he said. "I played guitar when I was eight and I started playing piano when I was thirteen and I learned to write by transposing the chords by ear."

His first "gig" in the U.S. wasn't musical but rather to do a high school interchange program in Wisconsin when he was 15. Then in 1975 he studied at the Berklee School of Music and the New England Conservatory NEWS from BRAZIL - JUNE 1994

There Pantoja formed a quartet and strong as ever. He recently returned from a three week trip it's there where he met the late jazz great Chet to Rio and Silo Paulo where he played a series of concerts Baker.

"But now there's no aside some goals for himself, number one being to recording and people are struggling to play and they have play with some of the best musicians around.

Still, according to Pantoja, the has met that challenge head on but now sees his situation is better now than it was two years ago when there life going in a new direction. "I've always wanted wasn't much work out there.

With all his dues paid. Pantoja won't have much trouble to play with the best musicians in the world but not in the egotistical sense," Pantoja said. "I feel finding work either here or there. Besides the Brazilian it's artistically challenging for me to play with the recording sessions, he has a possible tour in Japan coming creme de la creme. But now I have many spiritual up and he may even do some work with Ivan Lins this summer. goals." • Those spiritual goals have allowed Pantoja to bolster his musical repertoire with, as he puts it "songs for kids," but they have also shown him a different light on his life. "I turned myself closer to Christianity, to the Lord," he said. "There's a different angle to my work, my talent is a gift from God and a chance to play and touch people. In this sense, music is a powerful Means of communication."

Pantoja said that his idea of communication never meant getting rich and selling millions or records. His strength is the versatility of his composing. "It has a delicate side," he said. "I like composing most because it lasts forever as a statement of your works for the next generation."

Bandmate and saxophone player Brandon Fields agreed saying Pantoja writes romantic music.

"Rique plays with a lot of love, it's very nice... his vibe is very giving."

For now Pantoja likes the international accessibility Los Angeles offers with the ability to juggle several projects at once, and although many aspiring musicians flock to the West Coast to "hit it big," this Brazilian has always had something else in mind. "My idea is to be able to live anywhere with a network of projects," he said.

"It's not about making money, it's more about having fun." With his "headquarters" based in NEW HORIZONS IN TRAVEL L.A., Pantoja said he could play a few dates in

SHORT STORY

about lots of goals beautiful goals by my suffering little Bangu Soccer Team.

Forgive my wife for being a pain in the ass as we forgive ourselves for our stupidity when perforating the tiny holes on the Soccer Lotto ticket mistakenly.

Lead us not into temptation to root for another team.

Deliver us from the goals of our opponents and bestow terrible cramps upon the shins of their forwards.

Amen.

What now woman?

While hurriedly swallowing the watery coffee and mentally trying to articulate his morning prayer, Jose Dias da Cruz, errand boy in a Government office, hears dona Raimunda, his wife, speaking once more about those words: unhappy and unhappiness.

Jose repeats that nobody is happy, properly happy, Rai, happiness doesn't exist, we're born dead and turned into angels, Rai, you know, Rai? Irate Rai. The office is downtown. To get there before eight o'clock, Jose has to get up at five and take a train and a bus. He gets back home at night, never has any money, but, if at least our soccer stars were macho, specially when they play the foreign teams. Cash, grass, those stupid players. Rai only wants to know about money, money and more money.

Straphanging with one hand, JosO Dias da Cruz holds the Folha Esportiva with the other, they didn't highlight Bangu's victory the way he expected, that's how it is with those bastards... A small team is nothing, a small team has no voice, that little space and that's that, buddy... If Nicanor played for a big team he'd already have been invited to play for the Brazilian National Team JOSE EDI El RIO COUTINHO Lord Supreme Mathematician, Thy power of infallible and perfect calculus come Give us each day our daily news NEWS from BRAZIL - JUNE 1994

Dona Raimunda, toothless video-idiot (she watches soapoperas at 6, 8 and 10 P.M. Monday thru Saturday) and very practical (on Sundays, she betrays the leading soap-opera actors for the TV host and commentator Celso Cesar, known as Cece, with whom she is silently in love) concerning soccer matters, she only wants to know about the Soccer Lotto results, how many points, Jose?

He knows that there were only seven points, ah, thirteen points and happiness without having to become an angel, with only thirteen points, understand, Rai? But he was far from it, far from happiness, Jose was very far from it. And he is thinking of the fight during the game between Brazil and Uniguay, a team of cowards, this team of ours, they should have beaten those Uruguayans. What a shame. I'm still gonna check the ticket real good, Rai, and dona Raimunda remembers, where's the money for the girl's medicine?, the little thing's got a terrible bronchitis attack, go to the Government Pharmacy, woman, they give it for free, he doesn't hear what she says, and answers, don't bug me, woman.

Fuck. But that's it, a lot of unhappy people exist in large scale according to Jose, and there's a bunch of them, of course, a little less unhappy, on the verge of happiness, people who at times get twelve Lotto points correct, they're about to win, right on the edge of it. Rairnunda gets too impressed, Jose thinks, by those things she sees on TV, and feels unhappy like nobody else because she thinks of houses with swimming pools of those women on the 6, 8, and 10 o'clock soap-operas. Rai, Jose thinks, sees good things for other people and bad things for herself, but it's not like that, woman, there's the good, the bad, and the so-so good side of things, we're not doing well, I know, but it could be worse, ah it could, Bangu is doing good, threatening the big teams, yes ma'am, and here comes our Championship, ah the Championship is almost as good as the thirteen points. That's it woman, take it easy, stop nagging, we're doing so-so well, hang in there a little longer and stop bugging me.

Monday, five A.M., Jose swallows his coffee in a hurry, dona Raimunda bugs him, eat slowly, Jose, and he, don't bother me, bread crumbs fall from the corner of his mouth, stop nagging and enough arguing for nothing, and he hardly gets his thick lips wet with the watery coffee (what a tasteless little coffee, this one) and leaves the house, and on the corner of the street at the newsstand, he stretches his hand to pick up a copy of Fotha Esportiva. With 25

the newspaper under his arm, Jose walks on to work. At the station, he waits for the train to come. Doesn't that stupid Rai understand anything? If I'd taken longer at breakfast and listened to her whining and whimpering and stuff, I wouldn't have gotten a copy of Follia, since on Monday there aren't enough copies for everybody, it sells quickly, and I had to check the Lotto results again, fuck, only seven points?, shit. Yes. It could well have been a mistake when he checked the ticket before (two times on the radio and once on TV), a mistake that could have made him jump to the heights of a demigod. And also, of course, Jose wanted to read the comments on the game, the game he had seen live - while listening to it on his little transistor radio glued to his ear, he had his eyes nailed to the field - and watched it again at home on the TV replay. But he still wanted to savor the best moments of the game once again, Bangu is really at it, huh, buddy, he said to an acquaintance he had bumped into at the station.

Raimunda complains about the garbage, they've brought the containers but people keep throwing the garbage all over the place; the first goal Bangu scored was a beautiful thing, like a picture, Laerte received the ball in the middle of the field on the left side, he ran to the attack, dribbled the left forward Astolfo, who backed up to block him; on a rainy day, it's so difficult to walk over the gutters, rats and garbage; fought for the ball with Bombril, wasn't blocked, and ran to the touchline; and they still call this place Villa Progress; crossed it to Nicanor who ran and chose the corner of the goal to shoot; it ought to be called Villa Retrogress. And goal on the eighteenth minute of the first half.

When Botafogo tied the game with Bangu, the errand boy Jose Dias da Cruz's heart almost stopped. He prayed, had faith (it's your cross in life„Tose), and Bangu scored the second goal. Besides the open sewer, there's the garbage from the houses up there; the second was a cross by Nicanor on the right, then there was some confusion, all the Botafogo' s backs headkicking and Bangu's forward, and the ball shot up and, the garbage comes down the gutters, inside the penalty area on the left, getting everything clogged, overflowing and invading the houses, Maninho raised the ball for Joao Jorge to headkick, face to face with their goalie, that' s why the rats live as they wish, in the middle of all that garbage.

And goal in the 13th minute of the second half.

Calm down, woman, everything' s gonna get better, let' s stay here, they're gonna build that housing project and we have our rights, Mr. Souza, he knows it all, told me that we have our rights, Rai, and 26

we'll get a new home, but Raimunda complains that the kids are always sick, that there are so many rats around here, and besides the stench from the gutters, which makes everybody sick to their stomach, I know we're not doing well Rai, but, it's gonna get better, you'll see, woman, it's gonna get better. I know it is, hang in there.

It's 6:35 A.M. now and the sun has risen but it still looks sleepy just like Jose, just like almost every passenger at the Villa Progress station. Getting up a little earlier doesn't help much getting a seat on the train, there's always the struggle to get on when they open the steel animal, doors are open and there is that God-save-us-all kind of crowd, it only stops when every seat is taken and the unlucky passengers , have to travel standing for almost an hour.

Straphanging with one hand, Jose Dias da Cruz holds the Folio Esportiva with the other, they didn't highlight Bangles victory the way he expected, that's how it is with those bastards, if you root for one of the big teams, you see, even if their team loses or ties a game, they give lots of space in the paper to their team, but a small team is nothing, a small team has no voice, that little space and that's that, buddy. More people get on the train at every station, increasing the sound of the straphangers, if Nicanor played for a big team he'd already have been invited to

play for the Brazilian National Team. Jose Dias da Cruz can feel the strong black man's body heat glued to his body, he turns and says, it ain't easy, man, and the other smiles nervously, it sucks bro', there's that 176-passenger capacity sign but there are 400 passengers or more in here, Jose Dias da Cruz, errand boy, calculates in his mind, they are all squeezing Clirists, we travel like canned sardines, but that's how it is, a small team is nothing. That Nicanor, a real soccer star. And Jose repeats, it sucks.

At a quarter to eight, Jose gets to the office. There's the ritual of putting on the work uniform, after having punched the clock, gotten the thermos and tray. Here the only person that roots for Botafogo is Mr. Souza. Jose has already put on his errand boy uniform. Good guy, this Mr. Souza, and he's not a fanatic, maybe I can tease him because his team lost, your Botafogo is chicken, huh Mr. Souza? Only if he gives me the chance. The comments on last weekend's game will still be made on Tuesday or even Wednesday. Thursday is the day of great concentration, every mind in the office working on it, folks let's fill in the blanks on the Soccer Lotto tickets and Jose is in charge of bringing his coworker's ticket to the Soccer Lotto store on the corner every week. And there's the raffle in which everybody participates with opinions and a little money. Only poor

But on Saturday, a lot of people are already out, snake bit, when they announce the results of the first games.

Well, well, tell me, pal, you're talking about this so-so blond kid of my Vasco da Gama?

Translated by Wilson Loria From Maracand Adeus just published by Host Publications, Austin, TX, as Bye, Bye Soccer.

NEWS from BRAZIL - JUNE 1994

Soccer as metaphor ELZBIETA SZOKA Edilberto Coutinho is an internationally known journalist, literary . : critic and writer, highly praised in Brazil, Argentina, :: Venezuela, Cuba, France, 'Portugal and the United States. He is a dynamic, passionate speaker with absolute control of the English language: Since 1979 he has taught literature at 15 American universities as a --visiting professor. in 1978 he was also appointed a writer in residence at the University of Iowa, where he earlier participated in the prestigious internzitionzd writing workshop. AVIENOWqm***0::: Besides various important awards in -Bfaiil,'6UtifilieS. collection of short stories Moracond Adeus (1980) was the first Brazilian book to win the prestigious prize Casa de ins Americas. It was translated into Spanish and French. The book was also published in Portugal. The French translation also won the important award Prix de la Traduction -.Cultura Latina. Bye, Bye Soccer (1994) published by Host Publications is the first English translation of this volume of short stories.

Alaracand Adeus was written and published during the military dictatorship in Brazil. It is regarded as an example of literature of. protest against oppression and manipulation to which even sport was subject during those turbulent times. The choice of soccer as .a theme:. . was motivated by various factors, soccer as an emblem of Brazilian. popular culture, on one hand and the soccer game as metaphor for the complex social and political battles that took place on Brazilian soil at that time.

Even though the immediate context of these short stories is Brazilian, the final message, that of determined participation in the "game" and resistance can be extended beyond the Brazilian reality.

The gritty style of the stories, the use of graphic, sometimes kinky images, cuss words and aggressive, often colloquial language were at that time another weapon aimed against the rulers and the strict censorship in Brazil. Fourteen years after its first publication the ninth edition of the book came out in Brazil in the Spring 1994. The game seems to be going on...

The 11 short stories in Bye, Bye Soccer are an allusion to the 11 players on a soccer team. Each story can be regarded as "game" of a different player and each player's story refers to a different aspect of soccer and life in Brazilian society. In the collection the author mixes the characters of fictional players with the characters of real players, such as Pete, Kempes or Garrincha, a device that adds more verisimilitude to the archetype of the soccer player, regarded as a hero by the society and presented by Coutinho as a struggling and often abused professional.

One of Countinho's main concerns in this coll-detibtrigIu-show the evolution of soccer, from an elitist pastime of Brazilian upper class through a popular form of entertainment, to the only means of survival for the players, who often come from the most destitute groups of the society. Another purpose of these stories was to show how the popular sport whose mom go was to entertain became an object of manipulation and the players became instruments in the hands of the businessmen and politicians. In this sense soccer undergoes a similar process of institutional abuse and deformation as the famous Brazilian Carnaval.

Like Carnaval, soccer also means for many Brazilians the Quand often the esczipe from harsh reality.

Many references to various aspects of Brazilian every dayiffe'blia popular culture contribute to the book's educational value. One can learn a great deal from this book not only about the universal mechanisms behind professional sport but also about the fascinating and unjustly underrated Brazilian culture. The book is also regarded by the critics as a literary masterpiece and the reader can enjoy Coutinho's style of narration, thrilling and sophisticated at the same time. •

Hoje meio barrigudo.

Mas já fui moleque muito born centromddio. Pelo menos Biluca assegurava que eu era. E nunca peguei cerca nos quatro anos de TJ.M.P.A. - queria dizer: Uniao dos Mogos de Presidente Altino. A voz de Biluca mandava, porque era tdcnico e dono das camisas. Se era tecnico de verdade, nao sei. Sei que as 'camisas cram stias, e sem etas no havia jogo. Mas a familia se mudou, o ginasio chegou e a prestingao de born centro iuddio foi-se embora.

Na Mo6ca, agora, eu via os moleques do Caiovas F.C.. Papai vivia me apertando na escola.

Era o unico jeito, porque nao estudaria de outro. Eu via os moleques e nao podia jogar.

A boca da noite os grilos e os sapos já cantavam nas pogas do campo da U.M.P.A.. Depois da janta, cada um viiiha do seu lado e a gente se juntava na sede.

Entao folgados, fumavatnos vontade e contavamos coisas.

Havia certo ar de homem na gente enquanto fumavamos.

Serbs nas calgas curtas, o dedo batendo no cigarro, a cinza caindo no ciao. Contavamos coisas, vantagens.

- Pois d. Eu bem podia ter quebrado aquele cara. Eu é que nao quis.

Nao que Biluca tivesse 6dio do cara, nao tinha raiva de ninguem, longe -de ter raiva. E que falava de um jog6 que perderamos.

Ali pelas oito horas a vontade já crescia. Os mais velhos jam ajeitando as coisas, Biluca no seu cavaquinho, eu repicava na frigideira. Havia um surdo que um sujeito da Forga PUblica tocava (dc tambern era born no pandeiro). As vozes se chegavam, se uniam ca gente batuc'ava corn vontade.

Naquelas noites da U.M.P.A., na pequena sede que era s6 um quartinho, *gado corn dificuldade, a mensalidade pingada de cada urn... Naquelas noites me surgia uma tristeza leve, uma ternura, urn nao-sei-que, como talvez dissesse Noel... Eu estava au, em grupo, mas por dentro estava era sozinho, me isolava de tudo.

CONTO

Eu nunca disse a ninguem, que nao me parecia coisa mascula, dura, de homem. Nao os costumes que a tunna queria. Mas eu moleque gostava, era como se uma pessoa muito boa estivesse comigo, me aciriciando. As letras dos grandes sambas falavam de dores que eu apenas • imaginava, mas deixava-me einbalar, sentia.

Aos pes da santa cruz, Voce se ajoelhou, E em nome de Jesus Um grande amor voce juYOU...

E depois, s6 depois, Noel nas noites de varzea. Pareceu-me engragado que uma musica tivesse dono, fosse feita por uma pessoa. Necessario tambem que eu diga - a primeira atragao pelo sambista me nasceu dum fato obscuro. Para mim, Noel nem era nome de gente, Noel era nome de coisa, apenas cabia COITtO nome de Papai Noel... E paramim, Papai Noel era coisa e no pessoa. Papai Noel, Saci, Sao Jorge montado no cavalo cram coisas, pessoas nao.

Aos domingos a gente trepava num caminhao e ia jogar noutras vilas. Havia batucada na ida e na volta. Ou melhor, as vezes, voltavamos de cabega baixa, maldizendo juiz, campo que a gente nao conhecia, tudo para justificar a derrota.

Por esse tempo, comecei a prestar atencao nas letras dos sambas, e vi, mesmo sem entender, que o tamanho de Noel era outro, diferente, maior, tocante, nao sei. Havia uma tristeza, uma coisa que eu ouvia e nAo duvidava que fosse verdade, que houvesse acontecido. 0 gosto aumentou, eu fui entendendo as letras, apanhando as delicadezas do ritmo que me envolvia. Hoje quando a melodia me chega na voz mulata do disco, volta a tristeza de menino e os pelos pretos do brago se arrepiam.

Sobraram restos de memoria dos jogos suados na U.M.P.A. Re memoro-me, por exemplo, a marcar o maior gol decente da vida. Talvez o Cnico realmente.

Here's a collage of memories in which the characters are not anchored in time or place. It can be frustrating sometimes to fly through these cloudy skies. The author, however, is full of promises and we only hope he will soon be back to fulfill them.

Excerpts Taking advantage of his willingness to talk (he'd been known to proclaim that silence is more beautiful and meaningful than a multitude of words), I asked him to tell me a little about his past. He was quiet for a moment, his fingers tracing the almost infinite web of rivers that defies the rigor of cartographers and incites men to adventure. He drew an imaginary circle at the western margin of the map and as he spoke his narrative sounded so carefully woven it seemed meant to be written down. The obsession I cultivated in Manaus, of jotting down people's stories, filled notebook after notebook. One of these notebooks contains quite an accurate record of what your father told me that afternoon in 1929.

The Tree of the Seventh Heaven. by Milton Hatoum (Atheneum, $18: 210 pp.)

Bethania, Gaetano, Gal, Gilberto when they were also known as Sweet Barbarians

Brazilian Notas Gilberto Gil is back showing more talent than ever without all the electrical paraphernalia. And he comes in double dose.

Tropicana 2, made in partnership with Caetano Veloso, might well be the most precious Brazilian release of the year.

SCOTT ADAMS As the MTV generation begins to define itself on the other side of the equator, Brazilian stars will find new opportunities waiting. Such is the case with Acoustic, Gilberto Gil's latest on Atlantic Jazz. Gil, who has walked the line on every conceivable musical style from MPB to Soca-funk, emerges with the full impact of his talent in this live recording from Sao Paulo's Studio Frame.

38

"Every now and then I come back to my roots, the acoustic format that I started out with," Gil said. "And I very much like the lighter sounds that an acoustic situation can produce. But it was a challenge to translate some of the heavier electric songs that I originally did in the 70's into milder, more relaxed versions for this Acoustic CD. For example, we included "Palco." "Toda Menina Baiana" and "Realce" for this concert and I think that it all worked out extremely well."

Gil's musical leadership combined with a strong sense of direction and careful recording production is what makes this album a success. Acoustic contains 16 tracks, centering on his ebullient guitar work and unusual arrangements, including Gil's infamous "Aquele Abraco,"Caetano Veloso's "Sampa" and Stevie Wonder's "The Secret Life Of Plants."

Gil's collaboration with Veloso on Tropicana 2 (Elektra/ Nonesuch) is quite possibly the landmark Brazilian release of the year. With a star-studded supporting cast, including Carlinhos Brown, guitarist Raphael Ribeiro, saxophonist Raul M asca ren has, and flugelhornist Marcio Montarroyos, this superbly produced CD had a lot going for it from the start.

"Oh yeah. Tropicana 2 was very special," said Gil. "There are some acoustic tracks of this one, too, including two tracks with the Bahian percussion group Timbalada. It's kind of a pluralistic approach to honor our 25 years of working together. There's a little bit of everything in Tropicana 2, rock and roll, samba, a few bossas.

"My association with Caetano has always been exciting for me. He's a like guru, a sort of guide for me, and this is the first opportunity we had to play together again since we recorded Doces Brirharos with Gal Costa and Maria Bethania."

But where the first Tropicana was all unrestrained nonconformity, Tropiccilia 2 is decidedly more mature and worldly, doing for Brazilian music what classic rock stations accomplish for baby boomers in the U.S. The focus is different, the magic is the same. Take the samba-rock treatment thatJimmy Hendrix "Wait Until Tomorrow" receives. One listen and NEWS from BRAZIL-JUNE 1994

you'll love it all over again. Or the true concrete form of "Rap Popereto," with the sampled layering of a single word as sung by virtually every Brazilian vocalist who ever came near a microphone. That's the essence of Tropicana 2.

"Tropicana was a very important moment for ourselves and our pop culture in Brazil. I think both Caetano and I also felt that it was important to expose this music to the next generation of Brazilian teenagers, who are very much into discovering and identifying with use in a historical sense. So there where at least three good reasons to do that album." And countless good reasons to add it to your collection.

Keyboard wizard Cesar Camargo Mariano is another searching for success in the increasingly crowded arena of Brazilian Instrumental Music with his latest from Poly Gram Brasil, entitled Natural.

Mariano continues his recording trend with a wonderfully balanced package of new material and bossa gems such as "0 Nosso Amor (Our Love)" or the medley of tunes from Black Orpheus. And his understanding of the pop instrumental idiom has increased, too. Witness his clever approach to the melodic introduction on "Curitiba," or the masterful arrangement of "Zazueim," capturing all of the spark and playfulness of his former wife, the late Elis Regina. Natural is a tropically smooth winner.

The same can be said for Leo Gandelman's import Made In Rio (also on PolyGram), only more so. Building on the success of his Visions release in 1993, the saxophonist alternately swirls and glides through 11 tracks, including "Da um Tempo," Ary Barroso's "Na Baixa do Sapateiro" (with Leo's 12 year old son Miguel) and "Calcado" with it's super accelerated Brazilian rap and Tower of Power horn lines. Lennon and McCartney's "The Long and Winding Road" is covered with reflective grace and his treatment of Rio's unofficial anthem "Cidade Maravilhosa" is spectacular. Currently searching for a North American label, Gandelman is clearly Brazil's best contemporary instrumentalist, and Made In Rio merely underlines this fact.

Two CD reissues came across our desk recently. George Duke's A Brazilian Love Affair was the result of a three week visit to Brazil in early 1979, and featured the U.S. debut ofSimone.

You might also want to pick up on/Love Brazil!, a compilation of Sarah Vaughan's best Brazilian recordings on Pablo /Fantasy. Of all the various great jazz singers, only Sarah was able to properly capture the Brazilian saudade, and the dozen tracks are priceless, including two tracks never before released on this side of the border.

Flattery by comparison seems to be the calling card for singer Leny Andrade's first domestic release on Cheskey, entitled Maiden Voyage.

With a voice and style favorably compared by many to Sarah Vaughan, Andrade has been ripe for a well produced recording. On most counts, Maiden Voyage hits the mark, but longtime fans of this talented Brazilian will struggle to find the missing ingredient that keeps this CD from fulfilling its promise.

While her English has improved greatly, Andrade still sounds better when singing in her native Portuguese. Pianist Fred Hirsch doesn't swing like Leny does, and the choice of material is puzzling: "My Funny Valentine" and "Ribbon In The Sky" seem out of place in this collection.

Others fare better: "This Can't Be Love," "Cantor da Noite" and Ivan Lins' s "Tarde" exhibit the full range of Leny Andrade's talent. Maiden Voyage is a good first effort, and hopefully Andrade's next production will allow her to move beyond the looking glass comparisons to Sarah Vaughan.

In spite of all the counter-propaganda stressing dangerous levels of air and ocean pollution, increasing criminality and the maddening and chaotic traffic, Rio is still the number one destination for the foreign tourist. More than 41% of them stayed or at least passed through the former Brazilian capital during 1993. Of those traveling on business, 40.8% also went there, as did 39.3% dropping by only to participate in a congress or conference. Not such good news when we consider that the flow of foreign tourists has been cut by half in the last 10 years.

According to the World Tourism Organization, Brazil's share of the world tourist traffic fell from 0.6% to 0.3% at a time when international travel was going up 6% globally.

Last year the country was still able to reap $1.5 billion from tourism. Way too much say, some critics, pointing out the lack of effort the country has put forth to promote itself. The Brazilian government doesn't invest more than $2 million a year in advertising Brazil.

Compare this with the minuscule Caribbean island Aruba, which spent $25 million on promotion last year, or Mexico which spent $45 million just to lure the Americans.

In this year of the World Cup, things might be changing. Flavio Coelho, the man responsible for Embratur (Brazilian Company of Tourism) since February, declared that "Rio is priority number one" of his job. His promise: "We are going to launch a media ng postal card of campaign domestically and inas suffered some ternationally to show that Rio uises fr is not worse than any other big m muggings, city in the world concerning cidnappings . nd death squads violence." TurisRio has recently reopened its office in killing stree children. But the New York. but its $480.000 budget doesn't seem enough city is on t e rebound and even to pay rent and staff salabetting that y u'll not resist her ries.

The new Rio has been becharms fo r much longer. coming a reality since before the Eco-92. the summit cone• FQ ESPINOZA ference on ecology that happened in the city on June 1992.

For that occasion, the place got a $100-million face lift that included the resurfacing of the sidewalks on the beaches. the fencing and policing of four parks that have recovered their young crowd after having been taken over by the homeless. Today civilian and military police constantly patrol the beaches, and foreign tourists have even gained their own security department.

A group of Rio's promoters, led by Copacabana Palace Hotel general manager Philip Carruthers, came to New York in March to talk about this new clean-cut image. "The perception of Rio as a dangerous place for tourists is a misconception," said Carruthers, brandishing some statistics. According to him, crime against tourists in the South Zone, where most tourists stay, dropped by 40% from 1992 to 1993. During .the latest Carnaval. there were only two complaints made by Americans to the Police. And from the 88 complaints registered during 1993. none involved per40

sonal injury.

The main entity responsible for this turnabout is the DEAT (Delegacia Especializada em Atendimento ao Turismo - Tourism Aid Specialized Department), a 1,100-member force offering multilingual assistance.

Rio is making a new pitch to the world - $100 million more will be used for leisure improvement in the coming months - when Ipanema is celebrating 100 years. Ipanema, naturally, is a Rio neighborhood that doesn't need presentation. Its garola (girl) as in Garota de Ipanema has been immortalized by bossa nova genius Tom Jobim and partner Viuicius de Morais, and vies with the Beatles' Yesterday for the title of most played song in the world.

Contrary to what we might think, life in Ipanema is getting better. The presentation last April 9 of the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra brought 40,000 people to the sands to listen in a trance to classical music, a fact unheard of in the history of that piece of beach and sea between Copacabana and Leblon.

Copacabana can be more famous and maybe even prettier, hip Barra da Tijuca, to the south, can have more peace and cleaner water, but no one can beat Ipanema in charm and in news making.

It was there that Leila Diniz scandalized the nation by in the 60s showing her glorious pregnancy in a diminutive bikini. It was there that the celebrated tanga was born. There Patricia Case became famous by being the first topless sunbather on a crowded Brazilian beach.

There also was the refuge for so many intellectuals and musicians - Caetano Velloso and Gal Costa for example - during the military dictatorship that started in 1964.

Some legendary bars like Jangadeiros, Varanda, Mau Cheiro, Veloso (where Garota de Ipanema was created and whose name has been changed to Garota de Ipanema) helped to give the place its aura of a tropical Greenwich Village.

From Ipanema and its bars came also 0 Pasqua'', an underdeveloped (in technical resources not in ideas)Spy-like magazine that defied censorship and criticized government, enjoying a dedicated following all over the country in the 70s.

In one of these dangerous and implausible liaisons that only can happen in a ONE YEAR Jorge Amado romance, Helo RT Pinheiro, the muse of Garota de Ipanema, was the daughter of a general whose work was to censor 0 Pasqtam before it went to press.

TAKE A PEEK

AUTHOR, AUTHOR Brazilian writer Cida Goncalves, who has been writing prose and rhymes almost since she learned her alphabet, has finally gathered enough courage to show the world what only her closest friends had known for years. Unspoken Words, her first book, is a collection of poetry and prose "from the heart". The work has just been released by Los Angeles-based InSite Press. According to the author, her book has the power to make people get in touch with their own feelings.

Rio BAIT Like Hollywood, which has sea, desert and snow close by, Rio has its beaches, rain forest and colonial cities ready to be shot. To make sure that this richness doesn't go unnoticed by Americans willing to produce film or video in foreign lands, the state of Rio de Janeiro has created a film commission. Officials of the agency visited New York recently and met with representatives of the motion picture and advertising industry in the U.S.. They would like to see an increase in the almost 200 foreign films and commercials which were produced there last year.

BRAZIL LOVERS More than 300 scholars from all over the world, who have more than just a passing interest in Brazil, have just founded the Brazilian Studies Association (BRASA). The group was created in conjunction with the Latin American Studies Association's annual meeting, in Atlanta, Georgia. The activities of the group will be concentrated, however, at the Latin American Institute of New Mexico, where BRASA coordinator, Prof. Jon M. Tolman is the associate director. These experts have a large range of interest in Brazilian matters, including its economy, social reform, environment, tourism, politics and culture.

Speak Portuguese like a Diplomat!

What sort of people need to learn a foreign language as quickly and effectively as possible? Foreign Service personnel, that's who. Members of the United States diplomatic corps are assigned to embassies abroad, where they must be able to converse fluently in every situation.

Now you can learn to speak Brazilian Portuguese just as these diplomatic personnel do — with the Foreign Service Institute's Programmatic Portuguese Course.

Tens of thousands of dollars were spent by the United States government in developing this course. It's by far the most effective way to learn Portuguese at your own convenience and at your own pace.

The Programmatic Portuguese Course consists of a series of tape cassettes and an accompanying textbook.

You simply follow the spoken and written instructions, listening and repeating. By the end of the course, you'll find yourself learning and speaking entirely in Portuguese!

This course turns your cassette player into a "teaching machine." With its unique "programmatic" learning method, you set your own pace — testing yourself, correcting errors, reinforcing accurate responses.

This Programmatic Course comes in two volumes, each shipped in a handsome library binder. Order either or save 10% by ordering both:

D Basic Portuguese Vol. 1. 16 cassettes (19 hr.), 783-p. text, $195.

D Intermediate Portuguese Vol. 2. 18 cassettes (16 hr.), 618-p. text, $245.
