...hardly believeable that the Review was simply offering fair and legitimate criticism. Although Baldwin denied any malicious intent in the Review's attack, he allowed such flattering statements to be printed about the professor as "he looks like a junkie," "he isn't qualified to be a migrant fruit picker," and "if professors had to take English 5, Bill Cole would be out on the street...
Crack is the cause, police say. Certain intersections have turned into "drive-thru" cocaine marts, the scene of violent competition. Crack dealers, some as young as 13, are making up to $2,000 a day.

They also permitted Mafia-style crime families to thrive on such supposedly capitalist rackets as drugs, prostitution, gambling and murder for hire. A number of officials helped themselves to the republic's cotton-growing revenues by overstating the size of the republic's cotton crops, then skimming off part of the proceeds.
