...same might be said of U.S. policy in Honduras. Cleanup crews in Tegucigalpa continue to wash soot off the U.S. embassy annex, attacked two weeks ago by gringophobic students protesting the seizure and extradition to the U.S. of accused Drug Kingpin Juan Ramon Matta Ballesteros. At least two Hondurans died in the riots; damage estimates ranged up to $6 million, and the U.S. indicated that it expects reparations. The Reagan Administration insisted that the attack was orchestrated by drug traffickers, including a military faction sympathetic to Matta...

Some of last week's most chilling testimony came from Ramon Milian Rodriguez, who described himself as the former chief financier for the drug cartel. The slim, Cuban-born accountant told how he laundered as much as $200 million a month through Panamanian and overseas banks. A fervent anti- Communist, he said he siphoned funds -- TIME has learned the amount was in the millions -- into secret accounts set up for the Nicaraguan contras. Administration officials have denied knowledge of any such transaction...
