Though he often treated his body as a laboratory for exotic pharmacological experiments, Garcia was admired--with sensible reservations--by the nation's most famous noninhaler, Bill Clinton. In an MTV interview last week the President called him "a great talent." Referring to Garcia's heroin addiction, Clinton added, "He also had a terrible problem that was a legacy of the life he lived and the demons he dealt with . You don't have to have a destructive life-style to be a genius...
...Nigerian despot of the moment, General Ibrahim Babangida, as "one of the great leader-servants of the modern world in our time." This was the same Babangida who had ruthlessly suppressed political opponents, closed down independent newspapers and allowed his country to become a major transshipment point for heroin and other illegal drugs to which millions of U.S. citizens are addicted.

I should say that Hagar admits to "digressing" in that sentence. Hagar must have the same skewed opinion on the definition of "drunk" as he or she does on "age". Will Self approached the podium with a beer in his hand, and without even reading from a text he recited a lengthy short story which...
Software forging is safer than drug running. Narcotics money, often bearing residues of cocaine or heroin, can be detected by drug-sniffing dogs. Software pirates, on the other hand, often ship their profits back to Asia via U.S. Priority Mail. Besides, the penalties for getting caught are less severe, although that is changing. Law-enforcement agencies, including the fbi and the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, have made investigating this kind of crime a priority...
