We had no idea how they had got thereIn 1966, when I was 10 years old, my mother and I moved to Gamboa, a neighbourhood by the waterfront in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro. When I got married in 1977, we stayed in the area, had three kids and set up a pest control company.In 1990, we bought our first house there.

  • The House Republicans’ math problems and the country’s

    House Republicans face a basic math problem: With just 219 votes, their majority isn’t very big.
