Telesp, the state company that controls telephone services in Sao Paulo, decided to cut the erotic services it has been offering since 1991, even though the feature contributed $350,000 a month to its coffers. The pressure from the lines' owners - parents and employers who have had to pay for the excessive use of their phones - was too strong. Eleven services will continue being offered until their contracts expire. Historias Eroticas and Cardapio do Amor, still at the test stage, were canceled immediately.

COVER
Back to Plato Inspired by American pedagogue Matthew Lipman, many Brazilian schools are taking the metaphysical approach to educate children. After the total abandonment of philosophy in the 60s, the new trend seems to be catching on fast in some circles. Some educators even hope that this is just a prelude to the return of Latin and Greek to the classroom. CARLOS RAVEL° Nilton Barbosa Cabral is the son of a truck driver and his morn works at home. She helps him read Pampa, a book in which the main character encounters philosophical issues. At various points in the text, issues such as the philosophy of language and reasoning are touched upon, but never mentioned in that sense. Metaphysical, ethical and logical aspects reign. Questions are asked in class and open for discussion: topics such as fear, anger, and reason. "Is being right something that is inside of us all?" asks Lea Bonfim Meneguello, a teacher. -No," answers Priscilla Galati. "A person who steals or kills thinks that they are correct; nevertheless, other people know that he is wrong. You can feel that you are right, and not be." The subject can be discussed ad infinitum. -If you let it roll, it willlast forever," adds Meneguello, smiling. Priscila says she is afraid of ghosts. The teacher asks her if a soul has a body. The class, in chorus, answers, -No, if they do not have bodies, then what can they do to you?" The program has been successful in helping students to be more open, to ask more intelligent questions by following a logical sequence in their thinking patterns. The curious aspect of this discussion, however, is that Cabral and Galati are not in the university or high school but have just learned their ABC. School curriculums are taking a turn for the better in Brazil. Philosophy is making its way back into the classroom, not at the university level, but rather in... first grade! Brazilian educational methods have been joined by a new philosophical trend originally conceived by American philosopher Matthew Lipman in late 1968. January of this year became a new turning point in Sao Paulo's educational history. Sao Paulo State Education Department issued Resolution SE-7 which mandates the study of philosophy, psychology and sociology within the grammar school curriculum. This, almost 23 years after these subjects became electives, and NEWS from BRAZIL - JULY 1994
which eventually caused them to disappear altogether. Lipman in Brazil - The trend is confirmed through the recent publication of Introducao a HistOria da Filosolia (Introduction to the History of Philosophy) by
Brazilian author and philosopher Marilena Chaui. Her book, departing from traditional didactic methods of the teaching of philosophy, circumvents the standard questions and instead "updates" those interpretations, relying upon subjects and issues taken from current day-to-day questions and events. Another merit of the book is that it takes several and diverse perspectives into account, thoroughly examining each individual philosophical doctrine, without curtailing any of them to simplistic black-andwhite reductionism. The book does not, however, purport to be an in-depth treatise on the subject; after all, it is geared towards grammar school kids. In any case, with the scarcity of good textbooks in Portuguese, it is nothing less than a blessing. Lipman's methods and ideas have been successfully implemented in Iceland, Germany, Egypt, Taiwan, Nigeria and now, in Brazil. Seventy year-old Lipman holds a Doctorate from Columbia University and has authored several books on the subject, including Discovering Philosophy (1977), Growing Up with Philosophy (1978) and Philosophy in the Classroom (1978). He also founded the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children (IAPC), at Montclair State University in New Jersey. Lipman himself, together with his assistant Ann Margaret Sharp, are going to Brazil this month to participate in the First Education for Thinking National Encounter to be held in Florianopolis, capital of Santa Catarina state. Sharp will be giving refresher courses for teachers who are already teaching philosophy to children. Teacher training is the backbone of the program worldwide. One of the Brazilian monitors, Ismael de Oliveira, 31, praises Lipman's method, "He uses philosophy as a tool. Teachers don't need to be philosophers. They don't need to know who are (American philosopher Charles Sanders) Pierce or (Austrian philosopher Ludwig) Wittgenstein." Parallels with Paulo Freire - Preparing for his trip to Brazil. Lipman has restated the main goal of his method. "To help people to think by themselves, following a certain number of steps. It's not enough to tell children to be rational. We have to show them how to do it. One way is to tell stories in which we present the behavior of rational children, how they behave and how they talk to each other." 8
To those who say that's impossible to teach children philosophy, Lipman says, "They are wrong. We don't try to make children memorize Aristotle. We don't want them learning philosophy, but making philosophy. This involves dialogue, reasoning. Children can talk about things philosophers discuss, such as truth, justice. Some would say they are unable to discuss these matters. The reality is that they do it." The American educator, who knows internationally renown Brazilian pedagogue Paulo Freire, sees some parallels in their work. "His interest in forming work communities that promote literacy is very close to our interest in forming investigative communities in order to lead children to a social solidarity that would help improve their education." Written 20 years ago, Paulo Freire'sPedagogv of the Oppressed has been re-released in the United States this year by New York's Continuum Publishing Company. In it, Freire, an intellectual who was persecuted by the military dictatorship in Brazil and had to ask France for political asylum, talks about a liberating education in which we have "acts of cognition" and not "transferals of information". For him, in a perfect setting, "the teacher is no longer merely the one-whoteaches, but one who is himself taught in dialogue with the students, who in turn while being taught also teach. They become jointly responsible for a process in which all grow. Here. no one teaches another, nor is anyone self-taught. People teach each other, mediated by the world." While Lipman is developing right now a program adapted to street children, in Brazil his method has been confined to schools which are more open to experimentation. The method is presented in seven fiction texts that lead the children from preschool to the second grade. The themes for discussion are varied. dealing with such subjects as science, ecology, world perception. Ellie (from preschool to first grade) deals with reality and thought; Issao e Guga (from first to third grades) talks about nature questions; Pimpa (from third to fifth grades) is interested in the meaning of language; A Descoberta de An dos Tel/es (for fifth and sixth grades) deals with logic. Luiza„S'uki, arid Mark, dealing with ethics, aesthetics and social and political philosophy respectively, are reserved for high-school.
"We don't try to make children memorize Aristotle. We don't want them learning philosophy, but making philosophy. This involves dialogue, reasoning. Children can talk about things philosophers discuss, such as truth, justice. Some would say they are unable to discuss these matters. The reality is that they do it."
NEWS from BRAZIL - JULY 1994
Maria Isabel Papaterra believes that there is always a hidden risk in the teaching of philosophy. According to her, group discussions can easily become therapy sessions in which the students end up talking about the problems of puberty or fall into discussions centering upon abstract and farremoved subjects.
Only three of the books have been adapted by Brazil until now. They are lssao e Guga, Pimpa, and A Descoberta de An dos Tel/es. The adaptation was made by CBFC ( Centro Brasileiro de Filosofia para Criancas - Brazilian Center for Children philosophy) and published by Yazigi, a name that in Brazil is also synonymous with English schools. The lack of illustrations in these books is deliberate. "Pictures and drawings end up stifling creative thinking," says Ana Luiza Falcone, CBFC's director. "In this method the teacher is not the one who owns knowledge. The children give reasons for their thinking and their colleagues in the group check if the reasoning is good. In philosophy there's not only reason. We need to create children who don't passively accept what the teachers say." Aristotelian changes - While the debate relating to philosophy courses at the second grade level is still continuing, some schools - particularly public ones - have chosen to implement Lipman's program at the first grade level. His method has been a hit in schools from north to south, from Cuiaba, capital of Mato Grosso state, all the way to Florianopolis in Rio Grande do Sul. The program, although in existence since the late 60's , arrived in Brazil in 1985 through the auspices of Professor Catherina Young Silva of CBFC, located in Sao Paulo. The Center has graduated more than 2,000 teachers since 1988. By 1991, more than 30 schools within the Sao Paulo school district had adopted the methodology; and in Santa Catarina 16 schools have encompassed it as well. Nevertheless, due to attrition rates and transfers, less than 10 schools - mostly in the Rio Paulo suburbs - have kept the curriculum in philosophy active. Lipman's procedure is fairly straightforward. Students learn to reflect and have group discussions - called -research communities" - after reading short children stories which delve into subjects and concepts propounded by the great philosophers. Their names. however, are never given. The content is generally presented within normal day-to-day situations which are familiar and easily recognizable by the student. Aristotle, for example, becomes An dos Telles. a curious and bright little boy who. through a mistake in a science class, by a simple twist of words, is able to discover the rules of logic. "The text deals
NEWS from BRAZIL - JULY 1994
with syllogisms and other aspects, without however, ever mentioning them as such. We are not giving lectures about the history of thought, but rather teaching children how to think for themselves," said Luiza Falcone, who manages the Centro Brasileiro de Filos'ofia para Criancas, in a recent interview to Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper. The experts speak - A proponent of decentralization of school curriculums, Jose Arthur Giannotti, a nationally respected philosopher who teaches at University of Sao Paulo (USP), has many misgivings about the introduction of philosophy as an obligatory course in the second grade. He doesn't even see such a measure as beneficial for the philosophy teachers as a class. He doubts whether the country has enough good teachers in the subject, and asks. -Aren't we just opening the door for all sorts of drifters to teach philosophy? We are running the risk of creating another course that produces parrots talking about Aristotle or Descartes, if that much." A census carried out by the Ministry of Education indicated that in 1991, there were 1,307 who graduated with a degree in philosophy in Brazil. Sao Paulo State's Education Department figures show that there are 14,803 available classrooms. Giannotti questions, however, not the quantity but rather the quality of the teaching. "My question is: Are we capable of forming good teachers of philosophy at the second grade level?" Maria Isabel Papaterra, who also teaches philosophy, thinks that there is always a hidden risk in the teaching of this subject. According to her, group discussions can easily become therapy sessions in which the students end up talking about the problems of puberty. or just the opposite. fall into discussions centering upon abstract and far-removed subject areas. "In either case." she says. -making it mandatory only contributes to the opinion that philosophy is chitchat for putting cattle to sleep." Renato Janine Ribeiro. another U SP professor, has an opposite opinion, and thinks that teaching the subject at the second grade level is a justifiable goal, particularly when it entails preparing people who shall be the citizens of the future. He proposes. however, that Portuguese, history and philosophy teachers join hands in order to help students acquire a more critical vision of society, in all its aspects, -theoretical, remembered and imagined," as he philosophically puts it. However, it will be hard to reverse years of neglect and degradation of education brought about by the military dictatorship, and hardly taken into account by subsequent governments." says Ribeiro.

SHAME ON THEM I am very upset with our national soccer team. When they went to play in San Diego there were a lot of fans supporting them.

Since June the Armed Forces in Brazil have been in a state of alert. More than 60,000 men and women in uniform from the Army. Navy and Air Force as well as the Federal Police have been mobilized and in the streets. Their mission: guarantee that by July 15 all 160 million Brazilians, have in their hands the real, a new currency linked to the dollar, that the country hopes will help stem definitely the growing and incessant tide of inflation that reached 45% just for the month of May. This is believed to be the biggest operation of this kind in the history of mankind. Brazil itself is no novice when it comes to changing its money. The real is our ninth currency. Since 1942 the country has changed its money seven times, but never on such a mammoth scale. Brazilians were used to trimming three zeros from their currency every time there was a change of money, starting with the change from the imperial real (reis in the plural) to the cruzeiro. The latest currency, however, is a totally new concept. Brazil had in June three billion cruzeiro real notes, representing around $3.2 billion. By July 1. the country was planning to have 1.9 billion of real bills, what means around $27 billion. To spread all this money around, the Banco Central was using cargo Boeings 707 and trucks. In less hospitable regions, however, as in vast areas of the Amazon, the only viable transportation is the boat. The Banco Central is anticipating that the volume of money in circulation will grow to $9 billion, betting that people, thanks to a strong currency will start carrying it around more. To make the transition from one currency to another as smooth as possible, the banks planned to deliver the real on June 30 to places like supermarkets, shopping centers, bus companies, post offices, pharmacies and bakeries. The idea is that the consumer would be able to receive his change in real NEWS from BRAZIL - JULY 1994
starting July 1. The banks were authorized to open new service stations where there are no bank branches. Banco do Brasil and other big banks have also prepared trailers to be placed in places with great concentrations of people. The monetary authorities have never seriously considered the use of the vast network of post office branches in the country, alleging that they didn't offer enough security and, besides, couldn't be properly monitored. For those living on minimum wages the real is not the best news, at least initially. Salaries were coiwerted into URN last March, using the average payment from November 93 to February 94. These values are being transformed automatically into reais. They were fixed in 64,79 URVs and should remain frozen. The plan for a $100 monthly minimum salary has been postponed once again. Economists and businessmen agree that the real should keep its parity with the dollar at least till the end of August, in order to guarantee the credibility of the new currency. After 60 days, however, the belief is that the relation between the dollar and the real would be one of stability and not of equality. The government has prepared a primer to help people understand what to expect from the new currency. But this effort to disseminate information is not easy in a country where almost 30% of the houses don't have a TV, and 15% don't have a radio. Even those who should know better are scared. In Pernambuco, ex-councilman and businessman Jose Barbosa has been telling friends, "Let's buy land and cattle with the money. Last time the government froze our money, this time I heard they are gonna burn it." . The old cruzeiro will really be burned to the tune of 20 million bills a day in special ovens in Rio. Part of it, however. will be recycled into less noble paper. The destruction of the new bills, according to Banco Central will cost $64 million. 13

Mean sex About 3,000 men and women who work the streets in Brazil, gathered in Rio last May for the Third National Meeting for Sex Workers. They want the oldest profession in the world finally recognized as a reputable and legal career in Brazil. That will be an uphill battle. CARLOS RAVELO Many people in Brazil visit the Pantanal. Beauties of nature are supposed to be found there. In fact, the Pantanal is located in the northern part of Rio state. However, don't even bother to look at your map, because the Pantanal that we are talking about is a cat house, a house of ill repute. And nature's beauties are garotinhas (young girls) turning tricks for hard currency. The Pantanal and other hundreds of businesses like it, have been popping up lately. They are a sign of the times in Brazil. It is one of the end results of an extremely long recession that has plagued the populace of low income cities and towns in Brazil for several years now. Hundreds of garotas de programa are flocking out of Rio and into the smaller backwood cities and resorts. Gone are the days of hitting foreigners for a quickie on the streets of Copacabana or Ipanema. Gone are the days in which the nicest looking girls stampeded into Rio for fame, fortune, and a quick retirement after a few years in the call-up circuit. Furthermore, the pattern of remaining fixed at a semipermanent business spot or city for prolonged periods of time is also gone with the wind and the changes brought by time. In fact, a sort of an amateur informal network has sprung up, in which the working. girls tip each other as to which localities and towns are the best for their trade. 16
. Divorced or separated, with kids, and no trade or profession. This seems to be an increasingly common profile amongst as gatinhas (pussycats) who hustle for quick reis (the new Brazilian currency) to survive. Many have to make some hard decisions on short notice. Where will they go to work, with whom shall they leave their children? In fact, many decide to go into prostitution because they need to sustain themselves and their dependents. Many a time they leave the minors in the hands of relatives, but more and more often, due to prejudices or fears, they choose to take them to friends or even strangers. Valeria, a 19 year-old divorcĂŠe from Pernambuco state, was separated from her husband. In need of money for herself and her kids, she went south to Barra Mansa, after an unsuccessful search for her relatives. And Barbara, a 26 year-old Baiana (from Bahia state) who had also left her husband back in the sertdo, took the advice of some of her girlfriends and left for Angra dos Reis. There she went to Casa da Tia Linda, the most famous whorehouse in the city. The very first night there, she lined up three clients. Easy targets - In the hustling profession, the younger you are, the better your asking price. "I worked at several (whore) houses in Rio, but now only young girls get a break," says 37 year-old Sandra. "What am I going to do now?" Head for the backwoods, that's what! It's the truck drivers who are responsible for transporting most girls from one place to another. They all seem to know where the cat houses are in each small town. Somehow, a sort of symbiotic relationship exists between the girls and the drivers: sex for transportation, food and a 'roof; even if it's just the cabin of a trailer-truck. In any case, the profit motive is not limited to the girls alone. Even people who might otherwise seem out of place are dipping into this lucrative market. A case at hand is Maria das Gracas Barbosa, a school teacher by profession. She is the iron hand behind the famous Pantanal, a cat house located between the towns of Rio das Ostras and Macae, where she still teaches twice a week. She herself is not a prostitute, but being a 46-year old doesn't prevent her from starring in her own "nude review". She handles the business under strict rules: none of the girls can leave without permission; beach bathing only in pairs, on certain days and at certain times; no boyfriends visiting during business hours, and other draconian rules. The girls who work there have to be available by three in the afternoon. They don't pay rent or food, but breaking any of the rules will place them in jeopardy of being "fined" by Maria, the owner. New kids on the block - Each year the "working pool" seems to get younger and younger. Furthermore, the pattern and motivation of the girls are not always the same within the various parts of the country. For example, in the Northeast juvenile prostitution is due in part to the drought, lack of education and the hunger which NEWS from BRAZIL - JULY 1994
permeates the area. Girls aged 13 to 16 are sent out, many times with the consent and knowledge of their parents, to earn their keep and help their relatives. In Recife and Rio, there is a strong demand for them by waves of tourists coming to Brazil explicitly for sex. In Rio there is also a large pool of young males (aged 11 to 17) which cater to native homosexuals or bisexuals, mostly from middle or upper class background. In Porto Alegre, many of the girls are "hired" to "work" in the larger cities; they're mostly from a poor rural background. In some cases, neither the girls nor their parents know what they are actually getting into until it's too late. A recent inquiry by the CPI (Parliamentary Investigative Committee) has brought forward some shocking details in relation to sex-for-drugs prostitution rings in which girls - some as young as eight years old - are sexually enslaved and then hooked on crack, the better to control them. They do not get paid in cash by the client, but rather "in kind" (crack) from their pai (father) or pimp. The investigations have been carried out by Deputies (Congresspersons) Marilu Guimarks (PFL-MS) and Moroni Torgan (PSDB-CE) who initially looked into sex enslaving of minors in the Amazon region. One of the more morbid aspects of these investigations determined that many of the girls are sold out or placed into the "profession" by their own relatives. Furthermore, whenever a caring social agency or the Catholic Church gets involved, its representatives wind up threatened or hurt by business owners or pimps. Few people are willing to come forward and testify, fearing for their very lives. Violence seems, in any case, to be the most common bond in the whole scheme of things. The girls and whoever try to help them are the most likely victims. Worse yet, the investigations have revealed that civil and military police officers as well as soldiers are actively involved in the kidnapping, transportation and trafficking of minors in the prostitution busi-

ness. Porno-tourism - Northeastern Brazil has become one of the most popular sites for what has been identified as "porno-tourism". PreviOusly Singapore, Bangkok and Manila were world-known spots for organized sex-tours. Thousands of Japanese, Australians, and some Americans flocked in packaged tours combining business and pleasure - not necessarily in that order - paying a single price. Recife and Ceara have now been added to that list. Thousands of Germans, Dutch, French and Swiss flock to the emerald-water shores of Northeastern Brazil for sex and fun in the sun. Some girls are even recruitedand takerrback to Europe. The investigations also discovered one incredible fact: that lack of pubic hair and small breasts - signs of immaturity or pre-puberty - brings in a higher price. In addition, many of the girls have also known violence and sex at home, sometimes at the hands of abusive fathers, brothers or relatives. And cases of incest are more common than many are willing to admit. In spite of the fact that the CPI has identified the sources and problems relating to child prostitution, they also recognize that there are no short-term solutions. Some proposals though, are forthcoming: increasing health programs, assisting families and educating them to gain control of their children, countering any negative advertising overseas which might promote Brazil as a sex-tour magnet, extending services and shelters-for abused kids, and actively using investigative and research tools (such as IBGE - Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics) to identify and provide statistics relating to child • prostitution.

NEWS from BRAZIL - JULY 1994
The dire situation of Brazilian Indians only makes the news in North America when sonic Restacularevenk is picked IV 16, the media; such as the August 1993, massacre bf` 16kkranomami Indianniy ierR3iade gold miners. In realityothe situation of many Brazilian Indigenous groups may be a daily struggle for survival along a series of crises, any of which may lead to the extinction of an entire culture. When she spoke before the U.S. Congress on May 10, Martha Silva Vitor Guarani, President of the Kaguateca Association for Displaced Indians from the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, was hoping that Americans familiar with their country's tragic history of Indigenous Peoples could help her nyrn people in Brazil avoid a similar fate. Martha is a Guarani Indian, whose 35,000 member nation in Mato Grosso do Sul represent well over 10% of all Indigenous Brazilians., if,:week after'hei; visit to Congress'Martha described the plight of her people to an audience in Berkeley, California. Wearing a,pink sweat shirt and sweat pants, with a necklace and bradelets inade of seeds from her native land, Martha Guarani blended effortlessly into the "campus look" of this university community nf students from all over t1te World. Yet for the audience her description of the hardships faced by her people was hard to imagine. She described how 9,000 of her people had been expelled from their native lands, howthese people lived a life of abject misery, surviving in shacks along high-

ways, in the slums of cities, or on large ranches at the mercy of landowners who ,had expelled them. Many had been forced into nearslavery working conditions or even prostitution in order to survive, she said. Photojournalist Joao Ripper of Imagens daTerra (Earth Images), a working group of progressive Brazilian journalists, showed slides from his photographs of the Guaranis and other displaced Indians. One of his images was of a Guarani graveyard, where some of the dozens who have committed suicide are buried. Just in 1993, 34 mostly young Guaranis committed suicide rather than live without their homelands. Ripper reported that 220 Guarani-Kaiowa Indians from the village ofJaguapire threatened to commit suicide after the First Federal Court in Campo Grande issued an order to expel the Guaranis from their legally recognized land. The lawsuit was brought forth by two local ranchers who have deforested most of the Guaranis' lands for pasture. Since the Brazilian constitution was revised in 1988, Indigenous Peoples have been guaranteed exclusive use of their lands and protection from loggers, miners, and slash-and-burn farmers and ranchers. However, the claim of each Indigenous group must be verified by the government in a long process known as "demarcation" before legal protection is in force. All of the claims of 526 potential Indigenous territories should have been demarcated by late 1993, but

SOCCER
The perception that Brazil is going to be the next world soccer champion is not onl Brazilian anymore. Even according t German coach Berti Vogts - for some the defending champion Germany is the favorite - Brazil is going to be tetracampeao (champion for the fourth time). Maybe he is just joking, but the rest of the world agrees with him and is not joking. The American press has been generous with Brazil in the few lines dedicated to soccer and, in Brazil candidates for the presidency are having hard time to decide what to do with the ball LAUREL DARNEL
The American press has been more forgiving of the joyfull3razilian lawlessness and lack of manners demonstrated by the soccer fans congregated in the West Coast coming from Brazil and from all over the 1...1.S., than the Brazilians themselves. While weekly magazine Isto E. for exarnple, berated the Brazilian torcida (fans) for its fOW'dinesS, the Bay Area media, where the National team played its initial games, was . cheering the tropical mood. In a cover story titled When the World Drops in to Visit", the Palo Alto Weekly, wrote, - If anyone can get Palo Altans and other Americans hyped up about a low-scoring, non-contact sport like soccer, it w ill be the infectious enthusiasm of the colorful Brazilian fans. An estimated 15,000 Brazilians are expected to converge on Palo Alto over the course of the tournament." After talking about Russia. Cameroon and Switzerland, the article comes back to the Brazilians. -f3razil is the top seed and has the most ......, fanatical fans, as evidenced by a TV audience that is expected to number 140 million - 93% of the population." Echoing the 60's when the Bay Area students led a national protest movement that used to scream "the whole w orld is watching" while being attacked by police, another tabloid, the San Francisco Weekly in an article entitled - what else? - -The Whole World is Watching", wrote, "The World Cup Finals (52 games, 24 national learns, nine American cities. not to mention an anticipated $4 million in the pocket of World Cup czar Alan Rothenberg) are coming here, to what may soon 22 NEWS from BRAZIL - JULY 1994
be known as Brazil-by-the Bay." Later in the article, the Brazilian soccer team is described as "flashy and talented" "Soccer fans are in for a treat," says the paper. Coach Carlos Parreira has abandoned the defensive Europeanisms that served Brazil so poorly in 1986 and 1990, and the promises the flowing, attacking Brazilian style of old that helped name soccer the Beautiful Game. Brazil has a tough opening group, but this is still its best-ever chance of securing a fourth World Cup victory. An exception among all the major daily newspapers in the U.S., the Los Angeles Times has been publishing a series of reports and special sections on soccer for many weeks. In a 30-page special guide entitled "World Cup'94 - Coming to America", the daily with the biggest circulation in the U.S., presented Brazil as the favorite to win this Cup and gave a generous and enthusiastic portrait of Brazilian soccer fans. "Planeloads of colorful, uninhibited Brazilian fans will follow their team to 1994 World Cup in the United States, and they will turn first-round games in Palo Alto and Pontiac, Michigan, into festivals." The paper described the Brazilian group "as the finest all-around team in the tournament, with strength and depth in almost every position. Strikers Romario and Bebeto are among the best in the world. Right back Jorginho and his understudy, Cafu, are defenders whose overlapping runs down the wind create numerous chances." The L.A. Times saw weaknesses. however, in the defense, saying, "The defense is solid but can sometimes be caught because of the players' enthusiasm for joining the attack." The newspaper also pointed out that, despite all the hope, Brazilians are not as sure about a championship as they might be: "Pelted by runaway inflation, political scandal, high crime and the recent death of Formula One champion Ayrton Senna, a national hero, .Brazilian have been through too much to be optimistic about their soccer team." It was also the Times that had the courage to point out that the main enemy of soccer in the U.S. is not the public but the media. In a strongly reproachful article, Grahame L. Jones wrote, "Soccer is not the most popular sport in the United States. Soccer-bashing, however, ranks right up there, with the media leading the way." The reason for the media not to care, says Jones is the "perception that nobody cares -even though more than three million tickets have been sold. The truth is, soccer fans in the United States long ago learned to bypass the mainstream media, both print and electronic, and find what they wanted elsewhere. "Elseshere," in this case, means the Spanish-language newspapers and television networks, as well as overseas newspapers and magazines that can be found on newstands in most major cities." Fighting against the notion that soccer is "boring" with little or no scoring. Jones notes, -That scoring is more difficult in soccer makes the game more interesting, not less. Soccer is an intellectual game, chess with feet, as it were. Its beauty is in the constant improvisation occurring in the field... More than in most other sports, soccer players have to be nimble of foot and mind." Just before the beginning of the World Cup, disapproval of Carlos Alberto Parreira as coach of the Brazilian national soccer team was still high. Only 50% of all Brazilians, according to a Datafolha poll, thought the coach should continue in charge. This wasn't worrying Parreira. who, in August of last year, after Brazil was defeated by NEWS from BRAZIL- JULY 1994
Bolivia in the qualifying phase. had 72% of the population asking for his head. Another poll, taken in Rio by Infoglobo, showed that 69.8% of Cariocas believed that Brazil was going to be champion. Answering the question "If Brazil doesn't win, who will win the Cup?" 51.2% of Rio's residents said Germany, 29.5% Russia, 10.1% Colombia and only 8.5% Argentina. There were still some votes for Holland and Cameroon. And knowing about the passion Brazilians have for fittebol, the presidential candidates in the October 3 election didn't know precisely how to behave themselves as fans. They were walking the tightrope between being seen either as taking advantage if the team wins the championship or being fie fi-io (literally, cold foot, meaning bad luck bearer) if the team loses it. Leone! Brizola, PDT's candidate, banned all political rallies on the days the Brazilian team plays. PMDB's candidate, Orestes Quercia, decided to watch some of the games at his supporters' homes and to avoid any important meeting on the days of Brazilian games in order "not be called opportunist." Fernando Henrique Cardoso from the PSDB, whose favorite sport is reading, will make a break in his work to watch the games with friends. As for the favorite in the polls, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, he will try to extract the maximum from an expected Brazil final victory. His. party, the PT, has decided to spread big screens all over the country inviting the public to come and cheer during the games. Senator Guilherme Palmeira, the vice with Cardoso, very undiplomatically for a popular vote-getter, thinks that the PT's idea is senseless, arguing, "If Brazil loses, people will blame you and they will still break your equipment."

a saint, so-called, one Bara de Misericordia. The latter claims he has seen some horrific children, mutants but can offer no proof. Although the visit has been unproductive, it leads to the re-establishment of friendship between Jo"ao and the priest. Their resulting conversations, from both a theological and scientific viewpoint, explore the implications of genetic engineering. The Lizard's Smile has begun to resemble Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (a sleepy coastal town besieged by an aberrant nature) and H.G. Wells' The Island of Dr. Moreau. Like strands of DNA, this novel has threads that weave in and out. The author has learned - perhaps from Brazilian novelist Jorge Amado, the master chef himself - how to keep several pots and pans simmering all at once, the intended result being that everything finishes at the same time. It's one thing to take control of our own lives, and we see both Ana Clara and Jo50 struggling to finally master their own fates; and it's another thing to exercise power for the purpose of subjugating others. Ubaldo Ribeiro conveys - on many levels - the need (or perverse pleasure) that some people take in wielding power. Of course, while the thrust of the novel is pointedly about the hazards of genetic engineering, it can also be reduced to the eternal conflict between good and evil, or at least that of the ideal vs. the pragmatic. The final events are precipitous and the denouement keenly felt because our interests have been nurtured and sustained by a careful balance of pacing and crosscutting. A knockout? No. But an impressive achievement. successfully, solidly rendered. The translation by Clifford Landers is smooth and thoughtful. It helps The Lizard's Smile to transcend its setting; helps it, also, in making clear the moral issues that confront the reader and characters alike. No matter where on earth we may be, principles of humanity are common to all.
Excerpt Joao Pedroso shuddered and almost dropped the photo. Very well focused, though partially obscured by what was apparently the arm of a black woman, was a frontal view of a face that caught him unawares, a face unlike any he had seen before, an expression that gave him gooseflesh. What was different about that face? Yes, it was a human face, but not a human face. It was frightened, its eyes bulging, the skin wrinkled above the lower lip, the hairs on the cheeks standing on end, its strange teeth exposed, gigantic fanlike ears, and a veiy wide nose. Could it be a sorcerer's trick, some young boy in disguise? But it did not appear to be; it appeared terrifyingly real. It couldn't be a monkey, for no monkey would have that skin in the places where there was no hair. It also couldn't be a monkey, because there was no monkey with that face. And there was no boy with that face; there couldn't be.

E Niro Augusto pegou a cantar a cantiga, muito velha, do capiau exilado: "Eu quero ver a moreninha tabaroa, arregacada, enchendo o pote na lagoa..." Cantou, longo tempo. Ate que todas as asas saissem do ceu. 28

PROFILE
Brazil on his mind Poet and activist C. Jerome Woods might not have a Brazilian passport but he seems to feel more Brazilian than many natives. He is going back to his favorite land with a gift of poetry and art. TEXT LA.HUGHES PHOTOS KIP DUFF
Although born in the state of Louisiana, C. Jerome Woods finds a close, almost spiritual affinity to Brazil. It is a place, he says, that reminds him of his birthplace. It is a place where the influence of Africa and the resulting Diaspora is manifest via the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the region. Moreover, Woods expresses a love for the people of Brazil, with their acceptance of difference and -live for today" attitude. Woods is taking his seventh trip to Brazil in five years. World traveler, author and activist, he will represent International Black Writers & Artists Los Angeles (IBWA) at the Bahia '94 Music and Arts Festival, August 15 through 21. He will present the group's 20th anniversary anthology, River Crossings: l'oices ofthe Diaspora, a collection of poetry and fiction about the internativnal
Black experience. Woods, editor of the new work, is also the author of two volumes of poetry, Self Portrait and Love Songs & Heartbreak.
When questioned about his reason to return to Brazil so often over other places he has traveled, one can hear the yearning, the intimacy in his voice. "The food, the climate, music, vegetation, ambiance and ease - the people's attitude toward life," all beckon. He says personal space is not a problem, touching is O.K.. The heritage and history of the country are part of its charm. "The open arms of its people make me feel I belong. It's always like coming home - only better. There perpetual celebration is matched only by treasured moments of serenity. I am especially drawn to the free spirited mood of the city," which he reflects upon in his poetry titled "Rio": I stroll down the avenue: ocean breeze against my body, hot wanton city at my call, shopping bags in hand, orgasming in the pleasures of Rio de Janeiro.

Mellow Lulu Look who's back. The bad boy of tropical rock is getting more air-time on the radio than he has for a long time. Listen to his music. Soft Lulu Santos is again a hit. ALESSANDRA DALEV I
The flirtation of Carioca (native of Rio) Lulu Santos, 41, with rock and some music fads seems to have ended and the return of the singer-composer-guitarist to his roots is being celebrated by his fans and those who have just discovered the former and once again romantic balladeer. After a long hiatus, Santos is being heard on Brazilian radio again and on top 40 stations. His latest album, Assim Caminha a Humanidade (Thus Humankind Marches) was released in May and the song "Tudo Igual" ("All the Same"), just a few days after being played on the radio had already become one of the favorites in programs in which listeners call to ask for a song. The anti-establishment singer. who has already called himself a -Brazilianized rocker." is ecstatic. "1 adore this work," he said in a recent interview. "I'm fascinated, in love, even now when I start to exercise my critical judgment. I've been listening to the LP at home as it were somebody else's record." This seemingly lack of modesty, however, is tempered with his praise for the man he thinks is most responsible for the way the work came out. It was Marcelo Mansur, the ex-disc-jockey better known as Meme, who produced Assim Caminha a Humanidade. "When I invited Merne to produce this record, I was very impressed with his work with Gabriel, o Pensador, and I was tempted to do something along rap and black American music lines. But Meme told me that I should go back to singing those songs which are generous with listeners, and that light an interior flame." This was the kind of music that for 10 years had kept him on the hit parades. The reinvention of Lulu by himself hap36

It's no surprise then that the LP is more A vida vem em ondas Life comes in waves than a little personal and brings a strong taste of Como o mar Like the sea black humor, starting with the cover: a male skelNum ir e vir infinitos In an infinite coming and eton in a love pose before a female skeleton. The Tudo o que se ye no d going work is by Jose Guadalupe Posada, a Mexican Igual ao que gente viu engraver who died in 1913.

Some of them, when interviewed after a (Bahia group) Olodum show, said they liked Lulu Santos's songs. Most of them, however, couldn't cite anything besides "Como uma Onda" (see lyrics below) and apparently only because the song has been converted into a commercial jingle that's being sung by Tim Maia. By the way, "Tim Medley," another very successful cut interna cion al from the LP is a re-reading of samba composer Tim Maia, reuniting two songs by the prince of swing, "Do Lema ao Ponta" and "Rodesia." "I like this daring act of appropriating songs and making them my own playground. I want to be a RomArio," he says, in a reference to the indidualistic national soccer team striker. Assan Caminha a Humanidade can be a return, but it's not a retrogression, according to Santos. Some Brazilian critics have noted that the old fans of the composer are happy to see him back on the road from which he had strayed.

One of the hardest things in the world is to review a Milton Nascimento record. The thing that makes it so difficult, and it is only one thing, is Milton Nascimento's voice is as the incredibly powerful voice that enthralling as everin this man was given. You're captured from the very first note. On top of it Angelus. Some friends helping all, his delivery is so hypnotic. Bevocals however, almost spoil sides being so strong, Milton's vocal cords emit a sweetness that projects the everything he sings while, at the same JEFF P oa A11 K AY R '. time, transcending it. Conceivably he could put out an album with 12 different versions of Mary Had a Little Lamb and it would be great just on the basis of his vocals alone. Luckily for his listeners, this Mineiro(native of Minas Gerais state) hasn't taken advantage of this fact on past records. In fact, his lyrics themselves stand on their own so strongly that he's considered one of Brazil's finest songwriters period, voice or no voice. With that said, Angelus, his latest LP has to be considered a semi-flawed treasure. Nascimento roots come from rural Minas Gerais, the large state north of Rio, and one listen to any of his 20 plus albums makes this clear and ob. ••••• vious. Angelus is no different.

Pat Metheny plays on three songs and Wayne Shorter appears twice. The all-star line7 up doesn't always Work to the listener's advantage, however.' "Estrelada" is a good song tainted by ,the vocals of Jon Anderson. Its wistful melody is vintage Milton, floating along without direction but somehow getting its message across with grace. The vocals, though, are crowded by Anderson's high pitched yelping which threaten to commit the worst sin of all; to turn this song, into a Yes track. June 11's live rendition at the Wiltem Theatre, in Los Angeles, without the Yes front man was much more pleasant to the ear. Ironically, Anderson was in the crowd and why he didn't jump on stage to join in is a Mystery. • Another mind teaser is the inclusion of "Hello Good-bye," the Beatles classic: which was included on Milton's acoustic album 0 Planeta Blue no Estrada do Sol. Again, Milton's vocal is wonderful but this is an exact replica of the above mentioned version. Since the album clocks in at over 70 minutes it's not like the song is taking some other track's place anyway. I just look at it as a bonus track even if it is number six in order of play. The album's production is a tad on the glossy side but not enough to overshadow Milton's golden tongue. The sound has a definite crispness to compliment the album's jazzy leanings. Angelus will probably go unnoticed in this country which is a shame. It's just another charming work by one of Brazil's greatest artists. •

IF Splendor in the water Recife, capital of Pernambuco is a city of bridges and water. Sea water, fresh water. From the port for rich sugar cane plantations the city has grown into a mix of high-rise buildings, crazy traffic and colonial churches. ARIANE DALLA DEA
Olinda and its sea.
The state of Pernambuco began its life in 1537 with the founding of the small town of Olinda, which is its sister city. It lived under Dutch control between 1630 and 1654 and it went through two wars and four revolutions from 1710 to 1849. expanding in the process to an area of 101,023.4 km'. which now comprises the entire state. With 7.5 million residents. Pernambuco is rich in picturesque beaches with plenty of sun and coconut trees Recife means stone reef and derives its name from the constant offshore presence of this natural occurrence. This historic city is Pernambuco's capital. Recife is also Brazil's fourth biggest city. Maybe with a little, very little, exaggeration the town has been called the Brazilian Venice. Here will be a perfect starting point for touring magnificent Pernambuco. Located at 2,488 km. (1542 miles) from Rio de Janeiro, Recife has a tourist infra-structure of international level, and its 1.3 million residents are one of the friendliest in all of Brazil. You might beginyour adventure by visiting the old Santo Antonio district, Recife's commercial center. where you'll find the Patio de So Pedro, with its colonial architecture, and the So Pedro dos Clerigos Church, built with Portuguese cut stone. Then visit the Casa da Cul tura which served as prison for many years. the Forte das Cinco Pontas built in 1630 by Holland, the Convento de Santo Antonio church, and the Santo Antonio Cathedral. Among numerous museums, the Museu Arqueologico e Geografico de Pernambuco, the Museu do Homem do Nordeste, the magical and surreal Francisco Brennand, and the Museu do Estado de Pernambuco are the ones that deserve special attention. Recife has its best beaches located south of downtown. But your best bet is Boa Viagem with a romantic natural paradise setting. It offers pools formed by the reefs and their warm waters, fine sand, and coconut trees, and you can complete your romantic day renting a fishing raft for a sunset sailing. In the weekends, Boa Viagem presents the folkloric festivities of ciranda-de-roda, a traditional Pernambucan dance. Olinda, located just 7 km. (4.3 miles) north of Recife is the historical city that in 1982 Unesco named Cultural Patrimony of Humankind. The city is well known for its Carnaval celebrations with its famous trio e/etricos (trucks wired with sound) playing frevos carnavalescos all over town. Although many people attack the festivity, Olinda's Carnaval has been growing every year. Among NEWS from BRAZIL -JULY 1994

the attractions that this charming town offers are the Convent° de Sao Francisco built in 1577, the Convent° de Nossa Senhora das Neves from 1585 and remodeled in the 1700s, and the chapels So Roque from 1811. Also visit the scenic Se church built in 1537 to mark the birth of Pernambuco and Igreja da Mi serico rdia, from 1540. While strolling in the alleys and hilly streets of Olinda you'll be able to see the past alive and well in the colorful colonial houses with their gorgeous balconies. Another tourist attraction is the city of Goiana, 70 km (43,4 miles) from Recife, which harbors the historical village of Tejucu-papo that a group of women defended from the Holland invaders. The small town of Fazenda Nova is famous mainly for Nova Jerusalem, a theater-city reconstruction of Jesus's time Jerusalem. Nova Jerusalem is surrounded by a ten-foot-high wall, with seven doors and 70 towers. Twelve buildingstages, built in granite, constitute the staging place for the dramatization of Jesus Christ's suffering and the stations of the cross. The performance is shown in an area of 70,000 m2 (one third of the size of Jesus's Jerusalem) and happens during Holy Week. For some more beach action try the Itamaraca Island (501011. -31 miles- fromRecife) which is an invitation for a relaxing day in its fine sands and under countless coconut trees. While there take a walk to the Orange beach and visit the ruins of the Forte Orange, built in 1630 by the Dutch, that was the base of a series of battles. Pernambuco also has Camara. Brazil's capital of ceramic folk figurine art. The city is only a couple of hours away from Recife. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, vendors, poets, musicians and artisans gel
together at the Feira Livre (Open AirMarket). Here's also a perfect place to hear repentistas• (improvising poets) performing their literatura de corciel. You can even see some of the artists working. For that, visit Alto do Moura. Pernambuco's cuisine borrows elements from India, Africa, and Europe. Some of its typical foods are the sarapatel (a dish with hog's viscera) and the fish moqueca. The region has also an exotic variety of fruits, with more than 50 different types, for y ou to taste au nalurel or in ice cream form.

For the first time ever Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, the creators of the Tropicalia musical movement, are appearing together in the United States. The duo came from a pres)entation at the Royal Albert Hall in London to participate in New York's JVC Jazz Festival, with a prior stop in Oakland, California. The July I presentation, billed as Celebration of Tropicalia 2, was scheduled for the Lincoln Center. Gil and Caetano are becoming part of New York's artistic landscape. In 1993, Gilberto Gil was awarded the MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets) for best international performance at a cabaret or club. The previous year Veloso had received the best communication award for a written essay about Carmen Miranda that took almost a full page in the New York Times.

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:
0 Basic Portuguese Vol. 1. 16 cassettes 111
(19 hr.), 783-p. text, $195. Intermediate Portuguese Vol. 2. 18 cassettes (16 hr.), 618-p. text, $245. (CT residents add sales tax.)
