BRAZIL:
Documents Shed New
Light on U.S. Support for 1964 Coup
A newly
declassified audiotape and documents
released here Wednesday 40 years after the
1964 coup that installed military rule in
Brazil show that then U.S. President Lyndon
Johnson was directly involved in the
decision to back the coup forces, if
necessary.
In a six-minute tape of Johnson being
briefed by phone at his Texas ranch, the
president is heard giving a top aide,
Undersecretary of State George Ball, the
authority to actively support the coup if
U.S. backing is needed.

COSTA RICA TRAVEL & TOURISM |
Letters To the Editor:
Adventures in the eco-wonderland that is
Costa Rica
We have
been to Costa Rica three times and I
certainly have some tips for travelers going
there. First and foremost, one week is just
a tease. It is such a diverse and thrilling
place that to see even one fourth of what
the region has to offer you need at least
10-14 days. Traveling south along the coast
you will see fabulous beaches, amazing
sunsets, and temperatures between 34-36
degrees Celsius every day. Driving the
roads, however, is not a easy task. With the
major surface imperfections, narrow
roadways, and aggressive traffic, it is
daunting to say the least. Don't forget your
sunscreen and your bug spray! There is a
microscopic mosquito that can wreak havoc
seemingly anywhere at anytime of the day.
But I would not hesitate to return to the
country for a moment.
