COCAINE. Though exact figures are hard to pin down, more and more people apparently are getting a kick out of this extract of the South American coca leaf. Long known as the "society high." cocaine is now being used by everyone from affluent suburbanites to drug-savvy ghetto kids. The National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates that almost 8 million Americans have tried cocaine at least once, usually by sniffing it in a powdery form ("snorting").

And so, for this season at least, Lou Graham will be remembered as "the bridesmaid but not the bride...

But by the end of their five hours in the Newcastle area, Callaghan was working the crowds, pressing the flesh with both hands, beaming and performing. The next day he even wore his own J.C. pin-striped suit. The P.M. had learned a lesson -from a master...
