...seats in the Kremlin's huge, modernistic Palace of Congresses was filled as Communist Party General Secretary Yuri Andropov and his eleven colleagues on the ruling Politburo filed on stage last week. The new Soviet leader moved slowly to his place beneath a monumental bust of Lenin, turning to acknowledge Communist leaders who had come from as far as Cuba and Viet Nam to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Union. Dressed in a smartly tailored blue suit and maroon tie, Andropov looked well-rested and healthier than he had five weeks earlier...

...Lorean bust is a typical case of entrapment and sensationalism. The Drug Enforcement Administration claims that he stood to make $50 million from the sale of 100 kilos of cocaine. I'm a former dealer serving time on drug charges, and I can tell you that a dealer would get a return of between $10 million and $15 million. The standard rule in selling drugs is that you can double or triple your money in a very short period of time. The notion that someone can make a 900% profit is an affront to anyone with any business sense...
