...traffickers had been indicted by federal law-enforcement agencies on drug charges, in others while traffickers were under active investigation by these same agencies." Tragically, the U.S. Justice Department was slow to respond to the threat. But if all these federal agencies knew of the drug trade in the '80s, why didn't they expose and stop it? The drug trade posed a far greater threat to the U.S. than the leftist Sandinista government ever did. Despite recent CIA and Justice Department vows to reinvestigate, how likely is it that these agencies will produce important new discoveries that would publicly...

He has one DUI conviction from his Cheers days and may face another...
...comedy, as most of the television-owning public is surely aware by now, features Michael J. Fox as the deputy mayor of New York City.

Then, if you decamped with...
Fino has told FBI investigators and Democratic committee staff members about a Buffalo, New York, hotel developer, James Cosentino, who was a Kemp friend and contributor. (Documents from the Federal Election Commission show that Cosentino and his family gave $6,300 to Kemp's campaign in the mid-'80s.) According to Fino, Cosentino was tied to the mob--a charge he denies. In the 1980s, when Kemp was a Buffalo Congressman, Cosentino allegedly got at least $5 million in loans for a hotel construction project from a pension fund of the Buffalo local of the Laborers' International Union of North...
