...state primary was an appropriate setting for an antidrug message; sometimes it seems that New York City is Ground Zero for drug abuse in America. Last week, as the Democratic presidential campaign moved into high gear in anticipation of New York's critical voting, all three Democratic candidates trumpeted their own fight against drugs. Republican George Bush, not to be outdone, came to town to tout his credentials as a leader in the war against drugs, providing a rehearsal for the opening skirmish in the general election campaign. In Washington, meanwhile, the Senate was getting into the act with...
...radicalism. He speaks more convincingly, more plainly about drugs than about any other subject. No other candidate comes close to the reaction Jackson gets when he calls out "Down with dope. Up with hope." None can match his personal urgency. As the other candidates have incorporated an antidrug theme into their campaigns, Jackson has mocked them for stealing his drug message. His rivals, he says -- and he puts George Bush in that camp -- have recently become "sergeants and lieutenants" in the antidrug war. "I am a five-star general," he explains...
Buoyed by McKay's statement that he is not facing indictment, the Attorney General announced that he intends to fly off Wednesday on a scheduled week- long trip to Latin America to seek greater cooperation with U.S. antidrug programs.

The crackdown reflects the Administration's new "user accountability" strategy, which seeks to get occasional or moderate drug users to kick the habit by increasing the likelihood of some kind of penalty. The goal is to cut down on the flow of drugs into the country by curtailing domestic consumption. "If people know they will be arrested for bringing a gram of coke into this country, they will think twice...
...though, U.S. Justice officials have refused to consider dropping the charges against Noriega. A dismissal would require Ronald Reagan's signature, and the Administration is afraid of sending the wrong signal just as its antidrug campaign is developing fresh momentum. The Government continued to crack down on drug traffickers last week, when a federal grand jury in Miami indicted Colonel Jean-Claude Paul, the powerful commander of Haiti's largest military garrison. The indictment charged Paul with allowing cocaine smugglers to use an airstrip on his farm to fly drugs to the U.S. He is unlikely to be brought...
