...warehouse in the San Fernando Valley's Sylmar illustrates the size of the problem. Though 21 tons of coke were confiscated, records showed that at least 55 tons, worth $1.1 billion, had passed through the warehouse in the previous three months. According to Deputy Chief of Police Glenn Levant, the raid "made little if any impact on the availability of cocaine that we have been able to measure.

Riegle charged that Bennett had omitted exonerating evidence. Glenn noted that he had rejected a Keating fund-raising offer once he learned that Lincoln was under criminal investigation. But it was Cranston who offered the defense that could be most effective with his colleagues. If what the five had done was wrong, Cranston warned, "you better run for cover, because every Senator has done it." If true...
