Earthquake Ruins -- A barefoot woman balances a bundle on her head as she walks past shells of buildings in a nearly deserted street after an earthquake ripped through this southern Chile town of Castro. The photo was made, May 30, by Associated Press Photographer William J. Smith who flew to the area with an American mercy airlift crew which took emergency supplies of food, clothing and medical equipment to the disaster areas of Chile.
