...much to do with friendship and status seeking as with drug taking. But in fact the cocaine trade is dirty and dangerous. Middle-class users implicitly acquiesce in the scores of cocaine-related murders that take place annually in the U.S. Says Associate U.S. Attorney General Rudolph Giulani: "The regard for law and values deteriorates, because if you can't stop people from pumping poison into themselves, you can't do much of anything else as a society." If one untrivial law can be broken merrily and en masse, he and many others wonder, why not another and another...

Most Asians regard education as the best avenue to recognition and success. Bronx Science Principal Milton Kopelman is reminded of "the youngsters who came out of the homes of East European immigrants several decades ago.
