Samper, 43, a former economics minister in the government of President Cesar Gaviria Trujillo, quickly denied that he had taken money from drug lords. His contention was supported by Giraldo, a longtime go-between for the Cali cartel, who said the Cali bosses had offered funds to both the Samper and Pastrana campaigns but were turned down. Colombians were not only skeptical, but angry that the tapes, which had come into President Gaviria's hands several days before the election, were not released earlier...
...Colombia has shown that there is not any criminal organization that can defeat the nation," President Cesar Gaviria Trujillo told TIME. But few experts believe the Cali cartel, a smooth, sophisticated and low-profile organization, will simply walk away from a monopoly that brings in $9 billion a year. More likely, say several DEA officials, the Rodriguez Orejuelas and other Cali families will mend fences with the surviving members of Escobar's Medellin network, joining together in a supercartel more formidable than anything Colombia has yet seen.

By series' end, viewers will have heard the word culture so often that some may be tempted, like Hermann Goring, to reach for their revolvers...
WHAT HE WANTS, APPARENTLY, IS RESPECT. IN HIDing since last July when he escaped from his comfy cell in a prison at Envigado, Medellin drug boss Pablo Escobar has been trying to negotiate a conditional surrender. Colombian President Cesar Gaviria Trujillo has said no, choosing instead, with the U.S., to place more than $3 million in bounties on Escobar's head and stepping up police pressure. Last week Escobar fired back, announcing that he would set up a private army, the Antioquia Rebel Movement, to counter the "barbaric methods" of special antinarcotics police forces. The government dismissed the threat...
