...Manhattan financier now serving a three-year prison term for insider trading. From 1984 until late 1986, according to the Government, Boesky secretly bought and sold huge blocks of stock at Drexel's behest to push forward the firm's takeover deals and to reap millions of dollars in illicit profits.

In Operation Snowcap, made public only when it ended last week, antidrug forces from 30 nations cooperated for 28 days in a blitz on the dope trade -- dynamiting airstrips, assaulting coca-processing operations, searching travelers.

Many unmarried women are thus driven to seek dangerous back-alley abortions rather than risk the scandal that would arise from exposure of their illicit affairs if they chose legal channels. "If we teach them how to prevent pregnancies, maybe premarital sex will become even more common," frets Liu. Still, Dr. Wu labels Beijing's stand hypocritical, pointing out that government hospitals in the Special Economic Zone of Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, have become profitable...
...test on the blood, along with the name of a legitimate Medicaid recipient. The Panshi labs would perform tests on the blood to generate legitimate-looking data, and the Government was billed as much as $2,000 a sample. Surplus vials of the blood were trafficked to other illicit clinics at a markup...
