...businesses and even governments are often reluctant to impose regulations to keep out launderers. One reason is that a thriving financial industry brings jobs and income. South Florida's 100 international banks employ 3,500 workers and pump $800 million into the local economy. Even more appealing is the inflow of foreign capital. During the spend-and-borrow era of the 1980s, the gusher of flight capital into the U.S. from Latin America helped finance America's deficits. As in Hollywood, not many politicians were concerned about where the money was coming from. Alarmed by the tide, House Democrat John...
Fueling the racist rhetoric is the fact that Vancouver's prosperity has been boosted by the heightened inflow of immigrants and money from Hong Kong. Encouraged by Canada's relatively liberal immigration policies, more and more Hong Kong Chinese are arriving in Vancouver to put down roots before 1997, when the British colony reverts to Chinese sovereignty. That does not please some of greater Vancouver's 1.4 million residents, who see the influx -- 5,000 Hong Kong immigrants came to the region last year -- as a threat to their life-style. Critics grouse about an "Asian invasion" that has sent...

Indeed, he was head of the South Florida Task Force and National Narcotics Border Interdiction System, both designed to promote cooperation among law-enforcement agencies in stanching the inflow of drugs. Yet that is precisely what makes him vulnerable: polls show that a majority of Americans believe that the Reagan Administration has failed to make a serious effort to stem the drug traffic...
...Fortunately, the worst was over. The market kept gyrating during the next few weeks, but there were no more crashes. Lately, the inflow of new investments has started to outpace redemptions, and Lynch is pleased that only 50,000 out of the 1 million-plus Magellan customers have abandoned the fund completely. Even after the crash, Magellan investors are 2% ahead for 1987 as a whole. According to an independent study by Lipper Analytical Services, investors who have been in Magellan for three years have earned 68% on their money as of the end of November. Over the same period...
