Stephens would be a brief story line on L.A. Law compared with the season of material provided by Dexter Lehtinen, acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Lehtinen had scarcely moved into the limelight as the prosecutor of deposed Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega before he was burned by it. Some lawyers questioned whether his lack of trial experience would hamper his conduct of the case. Finally Lehtinen announced that he would turn it over to two experienced prosecutors, Michael P. (Pat) Sullivan and Myles Malman. They come to the case late, but it will probably be at least...
...light by critics, who argued that some of the bank's branches should have been shut down. But the bank agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in other cases. Among them: the drug- trafficking trial of General Manuel Noriega, which is to begin in March in Miami. The ousted Panamanian strongman reportedly controlled $23 million in accounts at the Luxembourg bank's branches...
...someone yells, and Petey the uptight bookie once again becomes Blades the affable actor.

...North-South relationship would be one of consultation and multilateral decision making. While Latin leaders acknowledge that they are glad to be rid of Noriega, his removal, they say, was not worth a violation of the principle of nonintervention. Few Latin countries have so far recognized the government of Panamanian President Guillermo Endara, and few are likely to do so as long as U.S. troops remain in that country. Said former President Raul Alfonsin of Argentina: "Disrespect for international law leads to the law of the jungle, and in that jungle we Latins are not the lion...
...officials announced Jan. 9 that 220 "unarmed civilians not involved in fighting and street disorders" had been killed in violence "directly related" to the invasion -- an ominously qualified statistic. But even that number, which has been challenged, is proportionally equivalent to 22,000 Americans. Add 314 Panamanian troops, and Panama's loss in a couple of days is equivalent to America's during the entire Viet Nam War. Yet compare the American press's indifference to Panamanian deaths with its lavish emphasis on -- and, it seems, exaggeration of -- the death count in Rumania...
