Burma is expected to come under increasing pressure from Communist guerrillas exploiting the economic and political troubles of the Ne Win regime. The 10,000 insurgents, active in the opium-rich area bordering China, Laos and Thailand, are capable of launching a major campaign against Rangoon's forces...
...soon lost in comic-strip chronicles marked by great wit, suspense and true humor rising both from character and from a remarkably sophisticated view of the world. These four books variously send Tintin, Haddock, Snowy and two idiot detectives in black bowlers into the desert to chase opium smugglers, into central Europe to try to keep King Ottokar from losing the throne of Syldavia, back into history to recall the voyages of Haddock's pirate ancestor Red Rackham on the ship Unicorn, and, finally, down to the bottom of the Caribbean in a sharklike submarine after Rackham...
Meanwhile, the diary continues to evolve untested. A handful of people had paged over sections and catalyzed rumors of its artistry, but they couldn't persuade her to publish. That would cut both an end from her existence--separating her from a "Kief, hashish, and opium pipe," a single staunch friend--and a beginning--because she filters her stories' "myth" and "poem" out of her diary's spreading tide.

Until a U.S.-sponsored multilateral crackdown on the international drug traffic began to take effect last year, laboratories in Southern France converted staggering quantities of Turkish opium into heroin for distribution in the U.S. and other countries. Police seizures of as much as 50 kilograms (110 lbs.) of heroin were common. New York detectives two weeks ago captured 165 lbs. of Turkish-derived heroin (street value: $113 million) that was stashed in a shipment of Louis XIII furniture being...
...bulk of the Amsterdam drug distribution seems to be in the hands of the small (currently about 2,000), tightly knit Chinese community that the city has had since the early trading days of the 17th century. Unlike the Marseille Corsicans, the Amsterdam Chinese do no processing of raw opium into heroin. That is done in Singapore and Hong Kong, major markets for the opium produced in the Golden Triangle area in Laos, Burma and northern Thailand. Known as "brown sugar" because of its color and texture, this Asian heroin has a purity of only 50%, compared with...
