But those were the only bright things on Central Avenue this morning.

Two big buildings lay in charred ruins. Shirts, shoes, pants, caps and other merchandise that 1 1 snatched from and then dropped littered the street. Policemen huddled in groups of two or three, watching and waiting. They carried shotguns, tear gas grenades, grenade launchers and rifles with fixed bayonets. Weary firemen snaked hoses through the blackened remains of the two buildings set ablaze by rioters, snuffing out the last few puffs of smoke.
