As high-rise apartments go up around Malabar Hill, it has become easier to catch a glimpse of what was once forbidden to all but the tower attendants-a view of the interior of the towers, where the dead are left as carrion.

I could not stand what the Junta said (the army took out the few Communists without a single drop of blood.--The Communists are guilty of $30,000,000 damage in the Polytechnic!). It was the first time in my life I witnessed such a raw violence between...
