Brazil's military government faces rising opposition after 27 months in power led by President Humberto Castelo Branco. Critics from the student body, church, and press cite restrictive rule and inflation. Decrees disenfranchised 75 citizens, banned the Belo Horizonte student union, and raided Folha da Semana offices. Catholic bishops in Recife were pressed to prove they are not subversive amid regional unrest. The regime aims to secure indirect gubernatorial wins by barring cross party votes, with Arena leading Modelo in most legislatures.
Government spokesmen blame foreign Communist aviators for student unrest and a Recife bombing that killed three. Impartial observers suggest government hardness fuels discontent from students clergy and opposition politicians. If trends persist Brazil risks a vicious cycle of tougher measures and escalating moves by the opposition.
A reprint of The Irish Times editorial The Die-Hards criticizes President Johnson and U.S. Vietnam policy, urging a broader view of global affairs.

The essay argues the cease-fire tool aided Maoist forces by delaying US offensives, allowing arms buildup and training, with inspections failing in prior wars. It warns a Viet Nam cease-fire would let communists recruit, infiltrate, and expand influence, while inspections could not prevent terrorist acts or covert operations.
