 The World Health Organization
says that up to the age of 12 children
should only have three cavities. In Brazil, the average has now
reached 2.8. But there are other less honorable numbers: 30
million Brazilians have never been to a dentist, 60 million do not
brush their teeth and 8 million have lost all their teeth.

 Brazilian indignant
ex-ministers say that Brazil does not have
109,113 illiterates. There are only 106,057. The difference
can signify that Brazil's Human Development Index would not
trail the island of St. Lucia's and Romania's; it would instead
follow those of Suriname, Bosnia, Albania and Tonga.

 Aside from a possible
change of command of the Central Bank, there
are no pending factors that would immediately alter the market's
favorable view of Brazil. The invasions of private property, even
when deaths result, and the gradual taking over of all government
agencies by the PT, do not seem to draw attention overseas.

 How many unemployed
people do we have in Brazil? And those
who wish to work but cannot get a job? 12 million people,
13 million, 14 million, perhaps more? How about the 60 million
Brazilians who live under the poverty line, surviving on half
minimum wage? Most of them don't even have an informal job.

 The Brazilian press
continues to play an undignified role. Above
all, because it deals with information in a non-critical fashion.
The press is only concerned with the content of the allegation not
how the news leaked. Amidst the haste to report the charge, the
way in which the gun was loaded and the shot fired is left aside.
