...undercover cops for $300. Consider a sampling from the past three months in the Washington, D.C., area: a suburban couple picked up with 8 lbs. of coke, a Virginia accountant arrested when 45 lbs. shipped from Ecuador were intercepted and delivered to his door by DEA agents posing as deliverymen, an Air Force member of the presidential honor guard charged with distribution of cocaine, and in Frederick, Md., a six-person coke ring (including a local lawyer and a banker) busted. "It used to be that a pound of cocaine was a big seizure," says Assistant U.S. Attorney James Walsh...

A woman worker from a third shop near...
Many of them are unemployed. Those who have found jobs generally work as unskilled laborers, sugar-cane cutters or deliverymen. Most of them live in the crowded apartments of northeast Miami. Some Miamians, including many Cubans, complain that the Haitians are a potential drain on government assistance and should be sent home. But, because they are in the U.S. illegally, they do not qualify for welfare or other government help. The National Council of Churches has, since 1974, provided them with $500,000 worth of emergency housing, food and medicine...
