...elsewhere, the smugglers are well organized and lavishly financed. "They are better equipped than we are," says Jack Redford of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.

...Robert Klitgaard--If he could get things finished, maybe next won't be as hard. Across the world, leaders lift their glasses and then drain--Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, toast Saddam Hussein. Let Giscard D'Estaing drink with Yassir Arafat Deng Hsiao-ping, have one on Anwar Sadat. Solidarity will flow through the streets of Warszawa When Brezhnev sips vodka with Lech Walesa. Benigno Aquino and Ferdinand Marcos, share a beer, Ideally, when His Holiness the XVI Karmapa is near...
