...months. Some in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry are lobbying for exceptions. A consultant has warned ominously that the guidelines might force all drug donations from the U.S. to cease. But Hogerzeil expects a compromise to be adopted by the WHO at a meeting of U.N. agencies this month. "Bona fide donations will still be permitted," he says.

In a survey it found that 72% of its licensed dealers never even bothered to open a bona fide store, but operated instead from their homes. Under Magaw, however, the bureau has lately got much tougher on applicants, requiring for the first time that they submit fingerprints and a photograph. Now the number of dealers is falling at a rate of 150 dealers a day, an ATF spokesman says...
