Something to keep in mind as most reporting remains bewitched by sanitized versions of the latest crisis. An excerpt:

Normally patient Haitians, already traumatized by the massive loss of life in January’s unprecedented earthquake, are starting to lose it.

If we think it’s hot and miserable here in the New York area, just imagine.
