FAR-RIGHT CANDIDATE POISED FOR WIN

RIO DE JANEIRO Brazilians appear on the cusp of handing the presidency to a brash former army captain who has reminisced fondly about dictatorship, pledged to jail corrupt politicians and promised an all-out war on drugs and crime.

Far-right congressman Jair Bolsonaro just missed outright victory in Sunday’s vote, and will face former Sao Paulo Mayor Fernando Haddad of the leftist Workers’ Party in an Oct. 28 run-off. Bolsonaro said he would stick to his uncompromising right-wing message and not become a “peace and love” candidate just to win more votes.
