Abstract

The wind coming off the terminal tasted of salt spray, diesel exhaust, and raw earth. We were standing on the newly paved apron of the deep-water expansion at Pier 42, surrounded by city officials and the European maritime delegation, when the woman broke through the perimeter.

She threw herself onto the crushed gravel directly in front of my polished leather shoes.

She was filthy, her oversized canvas work jacket stiff with grease and dried mud. Her mouth hung open, her chest heaving as her hands sliced frantically through the air in fractured, desperate sign language.
