I had to look up Getulio, which appears to be Brazil's Getulio Vargas, of whom I had vaguely heard, but knew very little about. Which made for an informative read.

It's up for debate of he belongs in this life-up, instead of Mao, Pinochet, Franco or even Guevara or the north Koreans, but I'm not sure how available the childhood pictures of those are.

I'd think Spain's Franco would be more appropriate than Brazil.
