He jumped out of the car at a traffic circle, strode through ankle-deep sand to a burlap-shaded watermelon stand. There he conferred with the proprietor, Ibrahim Sawaan, 15, who grinned up at him from beneath a grubby red cap emblazoned "Champion Spark Plugs."

Even on the beach at Durres, Albania's chief seaside resort 25 miles west of the capital, a wall extends across the sand and into the Adriatic to keep an area reserved for the privileged separate from vacationing workers whose families share dingy tin huts on the wrong side of the barrier...
