With the World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games on the horizon, the government stepped in to make the neighborhoods safer for residents and tourists. Now, law and order prevail, and foreign visitors are heading into the hills to see how one-third of the city's population lives.

Just two years before that chaotic rush for the exits, the Nixon administration had withdrawn the last American troops from the war zone and had declared indigenous forces strong enough, and the government reliable enough, to withstand whatever the enemy might throw into the fray after U.S. forces were gone.
