Brazil's 1st Female President Takes Office

From Marxist rebel to economist to the new leader of the world's fifth largest country, what a story for the new president of Brazil.  Dilma Rousseff, 63, in a 45 minute speech at her inauguration, wept when she remembered her past as a member of a leftist Marxist guerrilla group and her dead comrades in the fight against the 1964-85 dictatorship in Brazil, during which she was imprisoned and suffered torture.  What an incredible story!    "I do not come here to enrich my biography but to glorify the life of every Brazilian woman.  It is my supreme commitment to honor women, to protect those who are weakest and to govern for all," she said.  She succeeds her mentor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who termed out, and leaves office with record popularity.  Best of luck to her and the people of Brazil.
