...With the chill of southern hemisphere winter compounding the police-state stillness, Asuncion appeared even quieter than usual. The capital's cobbled, orange-tree-lined streets were mostly deserted except for a few trudging, overcoated citizens. But beneath the icy surface of Paraguay there was a thawing new ray of hope. Men whispered word of it across the marble tabletops of kerosene-heated coffeehouses, over steaming mate, the herb tea sipped from a gourd through a metal straw.

Some wore long Johns and sucked oranges for energy. Others, bundled in sweaters, jumped up and down to keep warm in the 38° chill. There were high school students and grandfathers; there was an obstetrician from Newton, Mass., and a psychiatrist from Manhattan. But most of the 166 runners who started last week's annual Boston Marathon could be counted on to drop out soon after the 26-mile, 385-yd. grind began, and Boston wags suggested that the Exeter Street finish line should be rechristened the Finnish line. Finnish runners had won the B.A.A. Marathon four times...
