To cope with the crush, American ticket agents were put on a six-day work week, part-timers were asked to work full time, and vacations were canceled.

...alone were carrying the burden of his country's past and future. No one knows as well as Duarte how much remains to be done. The economy is still comatose. The war sputters on, always capable of flaring suddenly. And in the end, Duarte must cope not just with the wounds of the past five years but with a tradition of violence that is as old as the country.
