Beyond a doubt, St. Louis is back from the brink. In many ways, its people have changed little. They still quaff their suds at the rate of 28 gal. per year per person, root for the Cardinals, thrive on sauerbraten, like to remember that their town produced T. S. Eliot as well as Stan Musial, and pronounce Gravois Street as "Gravoy." Men like Mayor Ray Tucker have brought a new awakening. Says he: "This is a warm, stable community. The people here are conservative and cautious. But I have yet to see them fail to respond to a program...

...were usually small-time dealers in such items as coffee and cigarettes. Today's smugglers are sophisticated businessmen who shun 50 lbs. of coffee in favor of 50 tons of steel, or deal in complex electronic calculators rather than cigarettes. Nowhere in Europe do these "white-collar smugglers" thrive more than in West Germany, where harassed customs officials figure that roughly $160 million worth of smuggled goods a year gets by them.
