For Angie, this disclosure sparks off both empty self-pity ("my whole life revolves around these weekends") and vague, shrill accusations against the Salvadoran leader. An unlucky combination, but Don's replies are no better, consisting mainly of lines like "Women.." and "It must be the bad time of the month...
