...have been successful in breaking the bonds of subjection--certainly not Cuba, slave to Moscow; certainly not Chile, a wholly-owned ITT subsidiary; not Jamaica, or Ethiopia, or Gustemain. And the New Left and the civil rights movement and the Freedom Summer and Moratorium Day and SDS and smoking dope--what did they mean except this world stinks, and we've got to make it over. But the love wasn't strong enough to transform us, and carpenters repaired the CFIA, and now the President of The Crimson is a Park Avenue lawyer...
...Hector Babenco's Pixote (Portuguese slang for peewee) is an eleven-year-old São Paulo waif living his long days in a kind of Dotheboys Hall for juvenile offenders. In another school, pleasing the older boys might mean carrying the water bucket; here it involves stashing dope, spearheading escapes and, above all, keeping his big dark eyes open and his mouth shut. The film is canny enough to reveal the horrors of underage incarceration in Brazil before it turns Pixote and his comrades loose on a jag of snatching purses, rolling drunks, courting death. Thus it suggests...
...News hasn't even been able to profit as much from the boom in sports coverage. Because it comes out in the morning, the paper is locked into a format that features mostly game stories rather than the analysis, inside dope and rumor-mongering that pervades the Post.

But they all are fighting a losing battle. Last year law enforcement officials seized 3.2 million Ibs. of marijuana, with a street value of $ 1.3 billion, and 2,353 Ibs. of cocaine worth $5.8 billion, in and around South Florida. So much dope was seized that the police began trucking it to the Florida Power and Light Co. to burn in its generators (732 Ibs. of marijuana equal...
...August 1981. Stockman's first reaction to the firestorm of criticism that greeted the Greider story was a flat denial-not of the views he is quoted as expressing, but of Greider's right to quote him. Said he: "Do people think I'm a dope? Does anybody think I'm stupid enough to say things like that with my name attached to it?" Greider was incredulous: "Nowhere in our conversations did he ever say a word about 'This is all off the record,' or 'You're not going to quote...
