...have to say. A typical night will find upwards of 300 people scattered throughout the most popular palaces, which include South Park, Korn Korner and the original Palace Gate. "We add at least two new rooms every episode," says Tod Foley, who designed and runs South Park for Comedy Central. "Sometimes we go nuts and add six or seven.

"These countries have suffered an infrastructural apocalypse," says TIME Latin America bureau chief Tim Padgett. "With damage equaling more than 60 percent of the two countries' combined GDP, emergency aid won't be enough -- it will require a long-term commitment from the industrialized world...
