- <p> In the country's first presidential election in 29 years,
- Brazil's 82 million voters last week behaved as forecast. They
- withheld an absolute majority from any of the 21 contenders,
- opening the way to a second round of voting on Dec. 17 to
- choose between the two front runners.
- </p>
- <p> As expected, the first-round leader was the crusading
- center-rightist Fernando Collor de Mello, a former state
- governor. At week's end, two candidates who split the leftist
- vote were deadlocked for the second slot: Luis Inacio Lula da
- Silva and Leonel Brizola.
- </p>
- <p> The wealthy Collor, 40, gained national attention by
- attacking his state's bureaucratic "maharajas." The radical
- socialist Lula, 44, left school after the eighth grade, became
- a lathe operator and entered union politics. The old-style
- populist Brizola, 67, was once governor of Rio de Janeiro state.
