...ambulance pulled into the driveway of the emergency entrance. Stretchers were set up in rows outside, as if at an emergency medical center in a battle zone, while volunteers with megaphones shouted instructions to the drivers. The casualties were a microcosm of the revolutionary movement itself: a fashionably dressed woman in her 20s with knee-high beige plastic boots; a seven-year-old boy dressed inexplicably in a blue track suit; a frail old man with a grizzled beard; countless young men and women in the cotton shirts and faded blue jeans that are the unisex uniform of the city...
