I intend to go to Brazil (to vacation) shortly after April 1, 1993.  
I want to visit Rio, Bahia, Iguassu Falls, Recife, and maybe other places.  
Does anyone know where to find good deals on flights (from Miami to Brazil 
and within the country) and lodging?  My main interest in going is to see 
Capoeira, Afro-Brazilian dance and hear music.  
Please respond to my Email address (suite@u.washington.edu).
Thanks,

We have just received word from the national office of the
Pastoral Land Commission in Brazil that James Vita Lopez,
accused of serving as the intermediary in the assassination
of Paulo Fonteles in 1987, was convicted on Saturday,
January 23, and sentenced to 21 years in prison.  Although
Joaquim Fonseca, the man believed to have ordered the
assassination, is still free, organizations dedicated to
human rights and agrarian reform all over Brazil received
the news as a victory.

Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1993 18:18:52 GMT

I am in search for data (i.e. example sentences) on the Portuguese
personal infinitive. I am especially interested in examples where
only the personal or impersonal infinitives can be used, and in the
semantic and/or stylistic differences where both are possible (with
illustrative examples). If you have bibliographic data as well, please
let me know.
Here are some concrete questions:
1) Is there some preference for one of the two constructions with modal
verbs (can, want, know)? What about constructions such as "to let/make
someone do something"?
2) What about the personal / impersonal infinitive after verbs of
perception (see, hear) and verbs of saying (say, think, ask)?
3) What about infinitives after prepositions?
4) What about negated infinitives?
Please reply directly to me (preferably with concrete examples).
Thank you very much!

To fill you in, the Governor "bought" a new player for Atletico, in

Se eu bem entendi as noticias que recebi, o pessoal do PT quer expulsa-la,
mas alguns "amigos" (Suplicy por ex.) dela sugeriram que ela se afaste
"espontaneamente" do partido, porque a expulsao desgastaria o nome 
do partido.... Jose Dirceu disse ate que e cinismo dela querer que o
partido assuma o onus da expulsao.
E parece que a deputada Maria Laura fez um discurso (violento, segundo
a noticia) criticando Erundina e o lider do partido Vladimir Palmeiras
ja tem a posicao de afastar ela (Erundina) do PT. 
Outra noticia e que o PT vai lancar um manifesto de repudio ao
Itamar em represalia ao convite que fez a Erundina para participar do
governo. Acusam o Itamar de tentar dividir o partido.

Posso estar sendo ingenuo, mas a impressao que passa e de que o PT quer se
definir como sendo absoluta e hermeticamente contra o governo que nao seja
do PT. Eu nao sou petista (em parte por causa desses radicalismos) mas
acho a Erundina competente, votaria nela independente do partido.
Mas me parece que "se voce nao e' contra o governo entao e' contra nos"
e' a ordem do dia (de todos os dias :-) para o PT.
Eu me pergunto, se o PT ganhar as proximas eleicoes para presidencia, e
continuar com essas opinioes, o ministerio inteiro eu ja sei que vai ser
petista, mas ate que escalao ? E os cargos de confianca ? E quem estiver
fazendo um bom trabalho mas nao for filiado ao partido ?
Vao tambem barrar colaboracoes de pessoas que nao andam com estrela 
vermelha no peito ? Com o titulo de "governo de oposicao" vao se opor a 
todo mundo que nao seja de suas fileiras ? Sera que eu vou dar meu voto
(se estiver la) para uma turma que nao quer mesmo colaborar ?

Pode parecer cinismo, mas nao quero comecar um flame war. So queria ver
se essas posicoes que o PT tomou sao justificaveis. Posso nao estar vendo
os dois lados da coisa (talvez como eles).

Hi there,

International students get a package of instructions before coming to
Colorado State University.  The package has detail information on 
several things (even how to get from the airport to the Universiy).
One of the instructions is to contact the international office as soon
as they come to town.
The international office then does all the necessary paper work and
gives the student detail information on everything (hum, it's hard to
define "everything" -- let's change this to "most of the things") that
he/she needs/wants to know.
Then there are group meetings with video tapes for cultural adaptation
and so forth.

My personal experience with the international office at CSU has been
highly positive, but again, I can only speak for myself.

Good luck in your research,

(If possible, please print out and post for people who might be
interested)

To all those interested in international relations, politics, and the
United Nations -- WorldMUN is a great forum for the discussion of 
current issues being debated by the United Nations today: 

Harvard World Model United Nations (WorldMUN) is an international
conference that brings together university students and young
professionals from around the globe to siimulate the workings of the
United Nations.  The second annual WorldMUN conference will be held from
March 28, 1993, through March 31, 1993, at the Hotel Diplomat in Prague,
The Czech Republic.  

Ten committees, representing the General Assembly, Economic and Social
Council, and Specialized Agencies of the United Nations, will discuss
issues from the actual UN agenda.  In addition to the formal debate of
resolutions, committee sessions will be augmented by presentations from
politicians, businessmen, scholars, and activists who have helped shape
the dramatic world events of recent years.

In this era of momentous political change, WorldMUN seeks to assess the
role of the United Nations in a new world order.  WorldMUN marks the first
truly international simulated United Nations where participants play the
roles of their own nation's ambassadors.  WorldMUN strives to teach
tomorrow's leaders about the United Nations and its methods of conflict
resolution.  It aims to foster skills in negotiation and debate, in order
that delegates may formulate resolutions on topics currently discussed in
the real United Nations.  These resolutions will be sent to the actual
United Nations committees.

WorldMUN 1993 will take place at the Hotel Diplomat in Prague,
The Czech Republic.  The Hotel Diplomat is Prague's most modern conference
center.  Prague is both one of the most beautiful metropoles of Europe and
an ideal location for debating current world politics and the changing
role of the United Nations.

The Hotel diplomat is a luxury resort that offers restaurants, shops, a
night club, and fitness and spa equipment.  Delegates will stay at the
Hotel Diplomat for the reduced rate of 130DM/day double occupancy, which
includes two meals a day.

Delegate registration is $US60 per delegate.  For more information, please

Hi:

I have to clarify this. While I would like that those of you registering

for Romania, this is NOT  a precondition. I appreciate all contributions
and I take what I get.

I just wanted to emphasize the poor financial shape we are in. I could
have used the money received to get into a balanced budget, but I just
went ahead sending other books, with the hope that other contributions
will come in. And I could not wait for them, as there is  a definite
need for those books NOW in Romania.

Hope this clears the issue.
