Later that night, some of the local radicals assemble in a rickety frame house by the railroad tracks, amid scented candles and tequila. They do not seem especially traitorous: a dozen people in their 20s, a young minister, some teachers, some Vista and other OEO workers. The stories about trouble in El Dorado spill out: kids busted for selling an underground paper, a teacher dismissed for his unorthodox ways, poor people and blacks (El Dorado has only a few) deprived of their rightful unemployment benefits.

...Acapulco is a swingers' paradise filled with sunshine and golden people. Splashy new hotels and motels are sprouting up like beach umbrellas; old ones like Las Brisas, which includes a private pool and candy-striped Jeep with every bungalow, are adding new space. All over town, from the Tequila a Go-Go to the Paradiso, night life is a throbbing pandemonium. But there is another side to Aca pulco that the gay, sunny travel posters ignore: the resort city is one of Mexico's worst centers of crime...
