...much as was intercepted from 1972 to 1975. By the police rule of thumb that seizures equal 10% of the traffic, Golden Triangle dope routed through Amsterdam is now rivaling the volume of the old Turkey-Marseille-New York French Connection. Many European experts see the Continent approaching the type of heroin epidemic that swept the U.S. in the 1960s...
...With hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, rival triads cannot peaceably split the spoils. At least twelve Chinese have been murdered in vendettas, which began last year with the killing of Chung Mon, a 55-year-old kingpin of the traffic.

The core curriculum task force would have done well to understand that there are many students who are thrilled to leave the sciences behind them in high school. These students will do anything to avoid the rigorous type of science courses that the task force recommends. Unless Wilson also intends to be the policeman for these offerings, it will not take students long to spot the least scientific offering and flood it. Such a path seems inevitable. The task force's answer to students who want to avoid...
