...burn in its generators (732 Ibs. of marijuana equal 1 bbl. of oil, one of the odder statistics to emerge from the region). Yet officials estimate that perhaps as much as ten times the amount seized was smuggled into the region. At the moment, Bade County police have a stash of 162,000 Ibs. of marijuana waiting to be entered as evidence in court cases. The Customs Service has 200 seized cigarette boats and 50 airplanes, including a World War II-era A26 bomber that was, ironically, used by Customs agents on drug cases before it was bought...

Inside the building, investigators found bloodstained clothing, incriminating fingerprints and a very observant superintendent named Dennis Vasquez.

Last week, after the Israel's attacked Iraq's nuclear reactor, the price of gold immediately shot...

Dave has in hand a stash of cocaine he has scored off the Mob, which is in hot pursuit. If the drugs, and this rotten kid, represent danger, they also offer opportunity. The coke is fungible: it can be converted into a ticket to France for Sally-the opportunity, finally, to act the big-time operator...
