Los Angeles Times: "PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A shirtless man leaps from a crowded tap-tap to rescue a woman's lunch pail that had flown from her hands when the bus hit a pothole.
Lithe women with head bundles that weigh more than they do slink between dump trucks, SUVs, peacekeepers' armored vehicles and wobble-wheeled pushcarts, deftly navigating the lurching, smoke-belching river of rolling stock.
The crush of vehicles and people filling the streets of this most destitute of Caribbean slums every day plays across a windshield like a frantic tango, the horrors of urban poverty dominating one minute, glimpses of the humor and humanity the next."
