		Sarney smiled: "The politician is a man of reality and the writer is a man of abstraction," he said.
		Sarney's inspiration as a writer is deeply rooted in the culture of his native Brazil.
		Sarney is obviously fascinated by the men whose lives he describes: "I think the fishermen have something very special, very fascinating in their life and work.

	Sarney's Presidency -Brazil Polictics President of Brazil 1985-1990
		In 1984 Sarney was one of the dissident leaders of the schism in the PDS, and he became Tancredo Neves's running mate.
		Sarney was first sworn in as vice president and then acting president within a very loose interpretation of the constitutional norms for presidential succession.
		The Sarney administration moved to consolidate representative democracy in 1985: it legalized the two communist parties, the PCB and the PC do B, allowed illiterates to vote, and called for direct elections for mayors of all capital cities and "national security" municipalities.

		Sarney's plan involved the expropriation, with "fair compensation", of uncultivated private land as well as the accelerated use of public lands, and would be implemented through a new agrarian reform ministry and legislation which had been formally decreed (but never enforced) by the military in 1964.
		Sarney predicted that 480 million hectares would be distributed to 7.1 million families over a fifteen-year period, with most coming from expropriated private lands (The Economist, June 8, 1985:40; Schneider, 1986:260), so that approximately 35 million people would benefit from the program by the turn of the century (Schneider, 1986: 260).
		Sarney came to the presidency rather unexpectedly, as a rightist `national-unity' vice-presidential candidate in a broad-based opposition coalition who succeeded to the presidency upon the unexpected death of the president-elect.

		Sarney represents the pro-government wing of the PMDB and Magalhães is a member of the opposition PFL but he goes his own way and supports Lula whenever it suits him.
		Roseana Sarney was considered as a serious presidential candidate for the PFL party until early 2002 when a large amount of cash was found in the office of a company she owned and she was unable to give a satisfactory explanation why.
		Another example of Sarney´s lust for power and vanity was seen recently when he lost a battle with the state legislature in Maranhão over plans to have his mausoleum erected at the Merces convent in the historical center of the state capital, São Luis.

		Explanations given by her as to the origin of the $570,000 have not proven credible and she is hoping that a belated mea culpa given by her husband – he claimed he was collecting cash to use for her campaign bid – will put the matter to rest.

		The rivalry peaked during Sarney's hapless presidency, from 1985 to 1990—five grueling years that were stained by political intrigue and a price freeze that led to a disastrous bout of hyperinflation and default on the country's $120 billion foreign debt.

		Sarney said he denied the existence of the atomic weapons program when he was president so as not to jeopardize talks intended to head off a nuclear arms race with neighboring Argentina.
		Sarney would not say how far along Brazil's military was in its work on atomic weapons or how close it was to detonating a nuclear device.

	Scientist: Brazil Nearly Built Atom Bomb
		Jose Luiz Santana, the former president of Brazil's nuclear energy commission, known by its Portuguese acronym CNEN, said the military was preparing a test explosion when the program was ultimately dismantled in August 1990.
		Earlier this month, former President Jose Sarney, who led Brazil's first civilian government after a 1964-85 military dictatorship, told Globo TV that he scrapped a program to build an atomic bomb when he came to power.
		Santana, however, said the military was still working on a bomb when former President Fernando Collor succeeded Sarney in 1990 and hoped to conduct an underground test blast in September of that year at a remote base in Brazil's eastern Amazon.

		Sarney’s presentation was met with smiles and applause from the audience, who ultimately seemed won over more by the author’s wit and imagination than by the spectacle of an Amazonian dance troupe.

		Former Brazilian president Jose Sarney revealed that the military dictatorship that ruled Brazil for two decades (1964/1985) had plans to build an atomic bomb but the initiative was discarded once democracy was restored in the country.
		Sarney, the first elected civilian to rule Brazil following the dictatorship said in an interview Sunday on the O’Globo television net that he first heard of the project when he was informed of a very deep drill in the northern state of Para apparently for underground atomic testing.
		Sarney said that at the time Argentina and Brazil, political rivals in the region for decades were looking for closer relations, and admitting the existence of the underground testing area would have been interpreted “we were in a nuclear race”.

		This seems increasingly unlikely as Sarney the elder wants to be approved by consensus, and not involve himself in a messy dispute with the favorite candidate Jader Barbalho (PMDB) who has the support of Cardoso's PSDB.
		Even though Sarney junior is a member of the PFL, while his father is from the PMDB, Cardoso knows that blood is thicker than water and removing the lad will upset the dad.
		Sarney's elected successor, Fernando Collor de Mello, was another example of someone who had politics in his blood.

		There is a chance also that reconciliation may be prompted if the charismatic 47-year-old woman governor of the poor state of Maranhão with the engaging smile shows she is mobilizing the female vote (there are more women of voting age in Brazil than men) and begins to look like a potential winner.
		The conventional wisdom among Brazilian political analysts is that Sarney will lose ground among more educated voters because of the prickly probe, which is looking for links to funds missing from a development agency.
