When Fujimori reaches the top of San Juan de Amancaes, he surveys the hillside and grabs a reporter by the arm: "You see all that color down there? These people never had painted houses before. Do you think Nestor Cerpa painted them? No, they did, with the bank credits they can get now because they own property. Cerpa doesn't have any support here--none at all." He waves his arm across the panorama: "This is my vaccine against terrorists like the MRTA ever happening again...
...being held captive. Released were Honduran Ambassador Eduardo Martel and Argentine Consul Juan Antonio Ibanez.

Williams stayed on the rim and watched as two colleagues clambered down ropes toward the volcano's inner cone -- Nestor Garcia, a Colombian, to set up a temperature probe; Igor Menyailov, a Russian, to sample gases coming out of vents. Williams and Menyailov, who had taught himself English by listening to Elvis Presley records, had been friends since they first met in 1982 on a volcano watch in Nicaragua.
