In Quito, the capital, seven consecutive days of student violence ended in a three-hour battle involving tanks, tear gas and the chatter of machine guns. As if on cue, Velasco summoned his military chiefs. "I quit," he announced. This time, however, there was a change in the script.

About a dozen police cars filled with helmeted policemen lined the streets near the city hall. Prominent in the front seat of each car was the muzzle of a tear gas rifle. The situation was tense, but the rally went off without incident. Across the street was a large green truck. On its roof long cameras with microphones slowly and silently turned around, recording the rally and the people standing around...
