MORE ON BRAZIL'S DESCENT INTO AUTHORITANISMISM: We'd mentioned yesterday that, incredibly, Brazilian President Lula had
expelled the NYT bureau chief for reporting on his alcoholism. The NYT follows up on the story, noting
the initial public support for the decision is beginning to wane. Further, our correspondent in Rio (and the author of the Brazilian blog
Filisteu), notes that the Supreme Court has granted the NYT's Larry Rohter habeas corpus, suspending his deportation and permitting him to question his expulsion in the courts.
