...November, bullets were fired through the windows of the Street Journal's offices. The glass front door was smashed, and 2,500 copies of the paper (circ. 8,000) were stolen.

Each of the half-forgotten neighborhoods has a bombed-out, end-of-a-war appearance; about all of them lingers the stale odor of moldering plaster and rotting wood. Peeling paint is everywhere; streets glisten with shards of glass from broken windows. Front doors have been ripped from their hinges, and human excrement often litters the stairwells.
