...reaffirm a host of romantic illusions about lawyers. Except for one cartoon villain (the mercenary Brackman, played by Alan Rachins) and to some extent the slick divorce lawyer played by Corbin Bernsen, virtually all the main characters on L.A.

Capitalizing on the seemingly insatiable appetite for drugs in the U.S., Latin America's cocaine and marijuana czars have extended the scope and volume of their operations well beyond what Southeast and West Asia's more established opium lords ever dreamed of. Greasing palms and, when necessary, using the gun, the drug barons have spawned corruption from Bolivia to the Bahamas, and in more than one country are threatening to supplant elected government...
