HDM 16_da Costa Meyer What distinguishes her work radically from that of equally famous counterparts like Lúcio Costa, Affonso Reidy, or even a professed communist like Niemeyer is not only gender and style but above all political praxis: the kind of projects she accepted, and the issues of patronage, technology, and typology that they implied. Among projects of this kind, her church of Esp“rito Santo do Cerrado in the interior of Minas Gerais (1976-1982), and the refurbishing of the SESC-Pompéia factory in São Paulo (1977) stand out as major statements of social and political engagement.

Brazil - Crime - Murder - Celso Daniel - Antonio da Costa Santos - Worldpress.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The murder of PT (Workers’ Party) mayors Celso Daniel and Antonio da Costa Santos (Toninho) in São Paulo, and the kidnapping and subsequent release of advertising magnate Washington Olivetto by an international gang of left-wing guerrillas, caused fear and confusion about the perpetrators’ identity, their motivations, and how the crimes were related. Florência Costa and Ines Garçoni reported in Istoé (Jan. 30) that some in the PT have viewed the murders as part of a larger conspiracy against their party by traditional conservative forces, the mafias who thrive on political corruption, or an alliance of the two. And when PT party leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva met with President Fernando Henrique Cardoso following Daniel’s murder, it was, according to the same editorial, to forge a historic alliance of civil society against the criminality that gnaws painfully at Brazil. www.worldpress.org /Americas/503.cfm   (678 words)

IPS- Porto Alegre 2002 - Wave of Terror Against Brazil's Workers Party Precedes WSF ''We cannot believe in coincidences,'' said Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, honorary president of the PT and one of the favourite candidates for the October 2002 presidential elections, with nearly 30 percent ratings in the polls. In a politically motivated assassination, the victim is killed immediately, and not held for 24 hours, as occurred in the case of Daniel, argue police with experience in such crimes, like José Vicente da Silva, a former Sao Paulo secretary of public security who works today as a researcher for a non-governmental organisation. On his way home to Santo André, around 20 kms away, the car in which he was riding, driven by a friend, was chased down and shot at by a group of gunmen travelling in two vehicles. www.ipsnews.net /terraviva/nota1.shtml   (986 words)
