...much of this coverage was Rio de Janeiro Bureau Chief Gavin Scott, who is responsible for TIME's reporting in most of South America. His own travels took him to, among other places, Bolivia's two-mile-high capital of La Paz. There he interviewed Deputy Minister of the Interior Gustavo Sanchez, the country's top law- enforcement official, who has earned the enmity of cocaine racketeers and therefore keeps a machine gun handy by his desk. Mexico City Correspondent Ricardo Chavira investigated Panama's role as a transshipment point for drug traders...
Even harder to uproot than the coca leaf may be the widespread conviction among South Americans that cocaine is a U.S. problem. "We are putting our lives in danger to prevent drugs from entering the U.S.," complains Bolivian Under Secretary of the Interior Gustavo Sanchez. While U.S. officials claim that it is illicit production that begets consumption, many South Americans contend that the process works the other way round.

Urban announced the suspension of Warsaw Police Colonel Leszek Wolski, who had allegedly known in advance of the Popieluszko plot...
...decades ago, but the major work did not get under way until 1977, when the new cornerstone was laid. The East German artisans were not quite starting from the ground up. After the bombardment by British and American warplanes, the building's shell was left standing, and although the interior was badly burned, some original details remained as clues to the materials Semper had used. The acoustics--vivid and unforced, warm and full-bodied--are a particular triumph. The rebuilt Semper Opera disproves the notion that acoustics are still a hit-or-miss proposition: just build a classic horseshoe...
