...high-level Cubans in trafficking. In February 1988, for instance, 17 people were indicted in Miami on charges of smuggling drugs from South America, some of it through Cuba, into South Florida. Last March, when Reinaldo Ruiz, a Cuban-born U.S. citizen, and his son Ruben pleaded guilty, Dexter Lehtinen, the U.S. Attorney in Miami, released a videotape on which Ruben stated that the Ruiz operation had secured cooperation from Cuban officers to use military runways as transit points.

After the finish of the 5,000-metre race the judges deliberated for an hour before they could decide who had won. Lauri Lehtinen of Finland had come in first, by three inches, in Olympic record time of 14:30. But Ralph Hill of Oregon, clocked in the same time, had tried to pass Lehtinen twice in the homestretch. Both times Lehtinen had moved over and blocked him. Chief Judge Arthur Holtz of Germany finally announced that "No. 125 [Lehtinen] did not wilfully interfere with No. 433 [Hill] . . . ," gave the race to Lehtinen. For the first time during the Games...
