Life Goes On

Eric Luse

San Francisco Chronicle

Life goes on in Mexico City for the daughter of Rosa Maria Bazan, 5 days old, found buried in the rubble with her mother. Intensive Care Nurse Martha Pascual gently washes the bruised and broken little girl. With both parents killed, what will become of her? Without hesitation a doctor answers, “oh, she will join the other babies in the orphanage.”
