Brazilians Support Anti-Inflation Plan: Seven out of 10 Brazilians support the tough anti-inflation plan of President Fernando Collor de Mello, which has frozen most of the money in the country for 18 months, according to a poll. Published exactly a month after Collor took office, the poll said 71% thought the plan was good and 10% thought it was bad. The poll was published by the newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo. A poll published by the newspaper on March 21 found that 81% thought the plan was good.
