...enforcement officials maintain that fears of rampant intrusions into privacy are exaggerated. "Concern that police or federal agents will be searching everybody's trash is kind of ridiculous," says Federal District Judge Robert Bonner, former U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles. Administration drug czar William Bennett says he was "infuriated" by criticisms last week that the Administration's program relied too heavily on law enforcement at the expense of treatment. Complains Bennett: "If anything like this kind of situation were going on in the suburbs, residents would raise holy hell and say, 'Call in the police!' But if we're talking...
...slang and cliche, stream-of-consciousness and narration that strains to mimic on-the-street realism. Goldman was way over his head in trying to reproduce the voices of Black men.

And Walker directed On Being Young, a Woman, and Black: The Works of Marita Bonner Occomy ['22], also at the Agassiz...
...neither side is required to surrender its nationals to the other, and few observers expect Mexico to do so voluntarily. Most U.S. officials would be satisfied if Camarena's death were avenged by displays of rigorous prosecution on both sides of the border. Said U.S. Attorney Robert Bonner in Los Angeles: "Our first and foremost concern is that justice is done. If justice is done in Mexico, so be it." Unhappily, that is precisely what has not been done by Mexico for the past three years...
