Layoffs have been turning the lives of midlevel managers and other white- collar workers upside down. Bruce Deberry, 38, earned $60,000 a year in 1989 as a project manager for Digital Equipment Corp. while living comfortably in the university town of Durham, N.H. Sensing that layoffs were imminent, Deberry quit to get a jump on changing jobs. But he has found only short-term consulting work and has earned just $10,000 so far this year. He now faces bankruptcy and foreclosure on his home. "The worst part is the feeling that I'm all washed...
...with the regulators, and there were moments when I was angry. I had hoped that the regulators would give some encouragement to the banks, which I don't think happened. I think Drexel's lack of friends -- as perceived by the world -- might have made it easier for a midlevel official in one of those agencies to not help us.

Said a high- level Mexican official: "If Mexico allows itself to get caught...
...operations of a large cocaine laboratory inside Panama; Melo was fired but not prosecuted. Last year Cesar Rodriguez, who had worked as a pilot for Noriega, was murdered in Colombia in what appeared to be a drug deal gone awry. Critics charge that while Noriega has deported some midlevel traffickers to the U.S., he has never arrested the cocaine barons who use Panama as a plush hideout. After Colombia's Justice Minister, Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, was assassinated in 1984, leaders of the Colombian drug cartel headed for Panama to escape the heat...
