The editor of Update, Eric Oatman, will be sending your very able and courteous secretary, a general description of the questions we would like to cover; such as, why do we have a CIA? How does the CIA relate to the other information-gathering agencies such as DIA? What is the place of the information agencies in the government? What other functions do they serve in addition to information? The idea is to give our school children an accurate idea of the intelligence gathering needs of the country and how we meet them.

VOL. 117, NO. 18 (ISSN 0745-7065) THIS ISSUE ENDS UPDATE's 1984-85 publishing year. Please don't sign off without letting us hear from you on next year's program. We tried to streamline the questionnaire dropped into your magazine bundle. Just check the applicable boxes, fold and tape the form leaving the postpaid indicia showing, and mail it. We're especially eager to hear your views of next year's lineup of topics. We think our preliminary list is an exciting one. It includes explorations of some pressing domestic and foreign issues: Immigration, Health Care, Nuclear Arms Talks, Labor at the Crossroads, the Farm Crisis, Growing Old in America, and Street Crime. We also plan special issues on the Soviet Union, Mexico, India, and South Africa, and of course an updated World Affairs Annual. Early in the year, we'll explore the Executive Branch and evaluate the role of the United Nations on its 40th birthday. Several teachers have written suggesting an issue on America's Cities. Others wrote to say next year's list would benefit from cover- age of the Enviroment in the 80s. "I urge you to adopt raising our students' awareness of environmental issues," wrote David Weber of Phillips Exeter Academy. If you agree-or have other recommendations to make-please let us know. We count on your advice to make UPDATE fit your needs. And won't you take an extra moment to reserve your copies of UPDATE for the next year? You can change your order-or even cancel, without charge-once you count heads in the fall. Reserving copies now will ensure that UPDATE will be waiting for you when you return from your much-deserved vacation. -The Editors IN THIS ISSUE Cover of Student Edition: The Drug Trade" ISSUE DATES FOR THIS YEAR Sept. 7 Sept., 21 Oct. $ Oct. 19 Nov.2 Nov. 16 Nov. 30 Dec. 14 1416 4 Ion. 18 Feb.1 Feb. 1s Maur.1 Mar. 15 Mar.

Remind students who used UPDATE's January 4, 1985 issue on the Third World of the opening paragraphs in that issue's Economics feature. There it was stated that be- tween 1980 and 1983 "Third World nations simply couldn't boost their output of goods and services and create new jobs." Ask students: If a farmer in such a country could get five times his or her normal income by raising coca plants, poppies, or marijuana for export, what incentives might there be NOT to raise these crops - the sources of America's three most widely abused illegal drugs? UPDATE does not suggest that Third World farmers are the criminals of the illegal drug trade. They may be just as much victims as those who become drug abusers. In part, our World feature examines how both the U.S. and certain Third World governments seek to end the "victim- ization" of such farmers. It's part of the U.S. anti- drug-abuse policy to stem the illegal drug trade at the source. Questions to Guide and Review Reading 1. Why is such a large supply of illegal drugs available in the U.S.? 2. What strategies does the U.S. government have for dealing with drug-source countries? Activities 1. Taking a Pre-test. See the Skills Master on the opposite page for this week's Pre-test. You may want to discuss students' answers to Question F - a question that is raised in several places in this issue. 2. Following the trail. If you have an opaque projector, have one student display the UPDATE map of world drug traffic on pages 4 and 5 while others skim the World feature for reference to countries identified as illegal drug sources. In what world regions is drug production concen- trated? Can students hazard a guess as to why certain regions are (and others are not) involved in this trade? Evaluation Examining the trail. Ask students to select one major drug-producing nation with which the U.S. is collaborating on the reduction of its illegal drug supply. Have students prepare ONE argu- ment for and ONE argument against the value of the current U.S. policy in this matter. Discuss opinions in preparation for the Government and Special Interview features in this week's UP- DATE. (Both features go into U.S. anti-drug policy in more detail.) LESSON #2 HOW THE U.S. BATTLES DRUGS ON THREE FRONTS Content (Government, page 9) A three-pronged U.S. policy against illegal drug traffic Objectives Students will be able to ? identify three major thrusts of U.S. policy against illegal drug traffic ? evaluate factors that account for increased illegal drug use Introduction Getting the large picture. Read for students' evaluation and discussion this account by Robert Wiebe of the context within which the American "drug culture" emerged in the second half of the 20th century: "The most general expression of the individ- ual's modern quest was a nationwide fascination with personal power. Human manipulations that had once been considered ethically questionable became matters of public pride in the fifties and sixties. Experts explained how they had "sold" political candidates to the voters. Books coached Americans on games of "one-upmanship" in their everyday relations with friends and acquaintan- ces ...Promises of power saturated the advertis- ing of everything from perfumes to breakfast foods. Its values saturated the movies and televi- sion. . .According to some experts, the most com- mon cause of alcoholism, the nation's greatest addiction, was a compensation for the feeling of powerlessness." Questions to Guide and Review Reading 1. Is the U.S. Government's policy against illegal drugs effective? 2. Can people be educated to avoid drug abuse? Activities 1. Assessing the policy. As a follow-up to this Government feature, suggest that students read UPDATE's interview with DEA chief John C. Lawn (pages 10-11). Ask them to identify and evaluate Lawn's priorities (combating drug production in source countries; guarding U.S. borders and fighting drug traffic within the U.S.; educating people so that they will not turn to drugs). Con- clude with a "vote" to reaffirm or reorder Lawn's priorities - or perhaps, to add to them. May 10 1985 ?

Preparing for a "White House Conference" on Drug Abuse and Drug Traffic. Ask students to assume there is such a conference and that they have been asked to attend. In preparation, ? One group (three or four students?) become experts on the symptoms and personal effects of drug addiction. (See this week's Teachers' Edition Poster, pages T6-T7.) ? Another committee studies the economic impact of illegal drug use in this country (see the Eco- nomics feature, pages 12-13; and the DataBank, page 18). ? A third committee might serve as advisers on the social and psychological evidence of drug abuse in our nation (see Sociology, pages 14-15; Databank, page 18; History feature, pages 20-21). ? A fourth group should probably represent the government's anti-drug policymakers. (See also the World feature for data on interna- tional trafficking.) Ask each group to (a) summarize its "findings," and (b) present arguments for federal, local, and privately sponsored efforts to reduce drug abuse in this country. Key questions: How important is one-on-one education? How important, anti-crime efforts? Evaluation 1. Taking a Post-Test.Administer the Post-Test on page T5 of this Teacher's Edition. 2. Making a personal response. Invite students to draw a cartoon, prepare an editorial, prepare a collage, write a poem, or express their response to this topic in some other personal manner.

Scholastic UPDATE THE CHALLENGE TO AN OPEN, AFFLUENT SOCIETY o ancient civilization Never matched Rome's achievements. Rome grew from a tiny farm- ing settlement on the east bank of the Tiber River into the con- trolling force of the known world. The Roman Empire over- extended itself and began to fall apart around the year 200. Out- siders-"barbarians" to the Ro- mans-invaded the empire dur- ing the 300s and 400s and hastened its decline. Eventual- ly, two barbarian groups-the Visigoths and the Vandals-en- tered the city of Rome itself and wrecked it. Today, the U.S. is facing an invasion-one that some believe could be as deadly to our way of Our strong economy acts as a magnet to smuggled drugs, while our tradition of individ- ual liberty hampers the fight against drugs at home. life as the one that ensured Rome's downfall. This time the foe is drugs: cocaine, marijuana, and heroin. Like Rome 1,800 years ago, the U.S. is the world's most powerful and productive force. But many see the nation's might threatened by drugs that, in increasing amounts, are be- ing ferried across our borders from Latin America and Asia. (See map, below.) Y Atlantic colom~ Ecuador SOUTH Bolivia AMERICA This traffic is having some troubling results. Forty years ago, Americans abusing opium, heroin, morphine, and cocaine numbered about 10,000. Today, in a given month, as many as 10 million Americans use cocaine, and another 20 million use mari- juana. The harmful effect drug abuse has on American society is plainly visible. Drugs are in- volved in anywhere from a third to a half of all crime in the U.S. Drug-related crime cost the na- tion about $7 billion in 1983- plus immeasurable amounts of fear and pain among crime's vic- tims. Employees who took drugs cost businesses an estimated $16.7 billion.

(See Economics, pp. 12-13.) The shattering impact of narcotics on drug abusers' fam- ilies, on their communities, and on the abusers themselves is in- calculable. What is the U.S. doing to de- fend itself against the invasion of illicit drugs? An article on page 9 provides some answers, as does an exclusive interview with John Lawn, the chief enforc- er of the nation's drug laws. TOO HIGH A PRICE? In a sense, a flourishing trade in illegal drugs is part of the price we pay for a free and afflu- ent society. The U. S. is an open society. This openness-one of the nation's most attractive qualities-turns out to be a ma- jor "flaw" in the nation's defense against drugs. A country where individual rights and freedoms were not guaranteed could no doubt control the drug trade A helicopter used by the U.S. Customs Service has scored some successes. The green leaves stand for marijuana hauls, the white ones for cocaine. Numbers note the pounds of each haul. Still, the U.S. intercepts less than 15 percent of smuggled drugs. more easily. But few Americans would want to live in a nation that has police on every street corner and in every corner of their lives. Many teenagers have begun to create internal defenses against drugs. A nationwide study of high school seniors, conducted last year, showed il- licit drug use continuing the gradual decline that began in 1980. For the nation, that's good news. In the end, an economi- cally strong, open society's best defense against drugs is a refus- al on the part of its members to put up with abuse.

Scholastic UPDATE WHERE DRUG TRADING BEGINS, HOW IT MUST END In the back alleys of big cit- ies, on lonely islands, in steaming jungles, along re- mote mountain pas- ses ... a war is raging. It's a fierce, never-ending, shadow war-the ongoing struggle against the international traffic in illegal drugs. Some people view the struggle as a contest between the forces of good and evil. If that's true, it's also true, unfortunately, that the forces of evil appear to be winning right now. For several years, the production of illegal drugs has increased sharply. So has the smuggling of these drugs into North America and Western Europe. Each surge in the flow of drugs into the Western world means more addicts, more shat- tered lives and suffering, more wasted talents, and more crime. The Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion estimates that about half of all crimes committed in the U.S. are directly linked to drug use. (See DataBank, p. 18.) Viewed this way, it's easy to believe the claim that each kilogram of her- oin or cocaine that enters the U.S. is a lethal weapon-a bomb capable of destroying part of the nation's social fabric. Worldwide output of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana has risen alarmingly, convincing nations where the drugs are produced to take action. The demand for illegal drugs is high in the U.S., as are the prices Americans are willing to pay for them. For these reasons, the U.S. stands at the top of any international drug trader's list of targets. These reasons are also why U.S. law enforcement agen- cies are in the forefront of the worldwide fight against the drug traffic. STRIKE AT THE SOURCE Opium poppies, coca shrubs, and cannabis weeds are the sources of today's most widely- used illegal drugs-heroin, co- caine, and marijuana. So it would seem that the easiest way to stop the drug trade would be to keep people from growing these crops. In the 1970s, the U.S. encour- aged Turkey, our ally in the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion, to clamp down on illegal poppy cultivation. Turkey at the time was the world's leading source of opium and its deriva- tive, heroin. With tough laws and $20 million in U.S. aid, Turkish authorities paid farmers to switch from poppies to alter- native crops. The plan worked well. Pinch- ing off the flow of drugs at its source in Turkey was a major victory in the war against the international drug trade. Unfortunately, that lone vic- tory didn't slow the heroin traffic for long. Other poppy growing regions rushed to take Turkey's place in the heroin trade. Since 1980, the worldwide production of heroin has increased by more than 50 percent. ASIAN DIFFICULTIES Today, the world's major opi- um poppy growing regions are in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Burma, Laos, and Thailand. Of these, Thailand is the only one that the U.S. has much influence with. Diplomatically, the U.S. has low-level ties with Laos and is not even on speaking terms with Iran and Afghanistan. Prodded by the U.S., the Thai government strikes out at opium traders every now and then. However, Thai government In California. where marijuana is a ma- jor crop, a state trooper confiscates a marijuana plant during a raid. A jungle cocaine factory in Colombia.

Sweeping into remote regions, police and troops may destroy poppy crops, smash heroin processing labs, and make arrests. But the police and troops don't stay in the re- mote regions. As soon as they depart, the opium growers go back into business. Lack of central government control is an even bigger prob- lem in Burma-the world's top producer of opium. In Burma's hill country, where the poppies grow, private armies, local war- lords, Communist rebels, and primitive tribes are in control. Opium is a major source of wealth for these groups. There- fore, they are ready to fight, kill, or torture anyone who might in- terfere with their trade. PAKISTAN'S PROBLEM Pakistan, a major grower of opium poppies, produces about 50 metric tons (50,000 kilos) of opium and heroin each year. It is also a center for processing the opium gum that is produced in neighboring Afghanistan. Opium gum comes from sap squeezed out of poppy seed pods. Hundreds of thousands of poppies are needed to produce one kilogram of opium gum. The gum must then be processed to produce heroin. Ten kilos of opi- um gum are needed to produce a single kilo of heroin. Though Pakistan is a major center of the drug trade at this time, U.S. agents feel that this situation may change. Drug ad- diction, widespread in Pakistan, is becoming a greater problem every day. The need to control its own drug problem may prompt the Pakistani govern- ment to make an all-out effort to end that country's opium trade. Some opium poppies are grown illegally in Mexico, not far from the U.S. border. Com- pared to the opium poppy crops of Asian nations, Mexico's out- put is relatively small. But be- cause Mexico is a neighbor, that output is of major concern to U.S. drug enforcement agents. Mexico is also a major source of marijuana and a way station for some shipments of cocaine from South America. As a result, much of the U.S. anti-drug effort is concentrated on and around the U.S.-Mexico border. During the late 1970s and ear- ly 1980s, Mexican and U.S. law enforcement agents worked closely together to combat the Mexican drug trade. Cannabis (marijuana) crops were de- stroyed on the ground. Heroin processing and smuggling rings were broken up. Cocaine ship- number of Mexican politicians and police officials. Evidence that there's truth to these suspicions turned up in March, when Enrique Camarena Salazar, an agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administra- tion (DEA), was murdered in Mexico. Under pressure from the U.S., Mexican officials arrested several senior police officers and charged them with the mur- der. Also arrested was Rafael Caro Quintero, 33, a reputed In Bolivia. a woman buys coca leaves, which, unlike cocaine, are legal there. Brewed as tea, the leaves make a milder stimulant than coffee.

UPSURGE FROM MEXICO A little over a year ago, how- ever, this trend was reversed. Il- legal drug shipments from Mexi- co sharply increased. In 1983- the last year for which the U.S. has complete figures-Mexico was the source of 33 percent of the heroin entering the U.S. and 9 percent of the marijuana. To- day, the U.S. State Department believes that about 37 percent of the heroin and 24 percent of the marijuana in the U.S. comes from Mexico. What happened to permit the illegal drug trade to expand so rapidly in Mexico? U.S. drug en- forcement agents suspect that drug traffickers bought off a "drug baron" from the Mexican border state of Chihuahua. The Mexican government seized more than 10,000 tons of mari- juana plants in Chihuahua last year. Despite actions such as these, the arrests of the police officers prompted a U.S. official to remark: "It's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys here. They all carry badges." SHIFT IN PUBLIC OPINION The murder alerted millions of Mexicans to the violence and corruption that are part of the illegal drug trade. Mexicans have begun to pressure their government to crack down on the big-time drug dealers and the public officials who aid them. If that happens, Enrique Camarena Salazar's death will not have been in vain.

Hundreds of thousands of poppies are needed to produce one kilogram (2.2 pounds) of opium gum. Ten kilos of opium gum must be processed to produce a single kilo of heroin. Cocaine, a stimulant extract- ed from the leaves of the coca shrub, is considered the hottest item in the international drug trade. In recent years, the de- mand for cocaine has increased enormously in North America and Europe. And underworld fig- ures have made billions of dol- lars feeding this addiction. LEGAL LEAVES Coca shrubs are grown pri- marily in Colombia, Peru, Boliv- ia, and Ecuador. In most of those countries, coca leaves are legal. People chew the leaves and drink a mild tea made from them. It takes 300 pounds of coca leaves to produce one pound of cocaine, which has been out- lawed in every country where coca is grown. To stamp out cocaine produc- tion at the source, the U.S. is working with South American governments to locate and de- stroy coca shrubs, cocaine pro- cessing equipment, and stock- piles of cocaine. The peasants who grow and harvest coca leaves have bitterly opposed these efforts, as have dealers who make fortunes out of pro- cessing and smuggling cocaine. Early in 1984, Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla of Colom- bia resolved to wipe out that country's cocaine trade-the largest in the world. Throughout March, 1984, Colombian police and soldiers, along with U.S. agents, struck at cocaine pro- cessing centers throughout Co- lombia. An estimated $1.2 bil- lion worth of the deadly drug was destroyed. STRIKING BACK A month later, the drug under- world struck back. Rodrigo Lara Bonilla was shot dead. The U.S. Embassy in Colombia's capital city of Bogota was bombed eight months later. One woman was killed. Dozens of Colombian anti-drug agents have been killed. And there are rumors that a "hit team" has been sent to the U.S. to kill top U.S. drug enforce- ment officials. In countries that produce ille- gal drugs, people often blame the trade on the nations where the drugs are consumed. Elimi- nate the demand for illegal drugs, they say, and all the problems linked to the drug trade will disappear. "Colombia will produce the crops as long as there are consumers," says Guillermo Angulo, Colombia's consul general in New York. "When there are no consumers, there will be no crops." U.S. officials agree with this argument-to a point. They add that the very presence of illegal drugs helps create a demand for them. "When drugs are avail- able, they will be abused," ex- plains John Cusack, chief of staff of the Narcotics Committee of the U.S. House of Representa- tives. "Availability creates de- mand. When you cut supply, de- mand dissolves like a dream." SHRINKING PAST SUPPLIES For proof, Cusack points to history. In 1900, he says, there were about one million addicts in the U.S. using opium, heroin, morphine, and cocaine. New laws and their enforcement cut the supply of illegal drugs, and by 1940 the number of addicts in the U.S. had dropped to about 50,000. World War II cut supplies even further. By 1945, there were only about 10,000 addicts in the U.S. After the war, however, the illegal drug trade began again-and the number of ad- dicts began to climb. Clearly, no one is really safe from the destructive influence of the international drug trade. The producer nations are beginning to understand this, as drug traf- ficking expands and infects their societies with addiction, vio- lence, and corruption. The only solution, officials say, is to fight the illegal drug trade everywhere and in every way. That includes wiping out narcotic plants where they grow, destroying processing equip- ment, smashing smuggling rings, and arresting local deal- ers. Finally, officials say, the campaign against the drug trade must include teaching people, how-and why-to say no to practices that are both dangerous and habit-forming. -Michael Cusack Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 MAY lU 1985.9 HOW THE U.S. BATTLES DRUGS ON THREE FRONTS I n March, the bodies of Enri- que Camarena Salazar and his pilot were found on a desolate Mexican ranch. Camarena, an agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administra- tion, had been brutally tortured. He may have been buried alive. Camarena's death shows the increasingly ruthless measures big-time drug traffickers are tak- ing to protect their illegal trade. Still, U.S. officials see a ray of hope in the murder. They say he wouldn't have been killed if the U.S. fight against drugs hadn't begun to hurt the traffickers. Officials point out that they're seizing more illegal drugs and making more arrests than ever. In 1984, for example, the U.S. Customs Service seized 27,525 pounds of cocaine-five times the amount taken in 1980. NARCOTICS FLOOD These figures don't impress John Cusack, chief of the House Narcotics Committee's staff. He says more drugs are being stopped simply because more are flooding across U.S. borders. "We are doing good work," he told UPDATE. "But it doesn't mean we're winning the war." How can the U.S. defeat such highly organized, widespread narcotics crime? Federal agen- cies, ranging from the Central Intelligence Agency to the Inter- nal Revenue Service, are fight- ing the drug war on three fronts. First, they are trying to cut the production of drugs abroad. Sec- ond, they are trying to stop drugs at U.S. borders and stamp out drug rings at home. Third, they are trying to educate peo- ple to say no to drugs. To stop drugs at their source, the U.S. needs the cooperation of the governments of drug-pro- ducing nations. The U.S. and foreign governments agree on how much drug output abroad can be reduced in a year. "Some The U.S. government is fight- ing a long and dangerous war against narcotics. But it has made impressive gains by battling on three fronts. countries are dragging their feet," Cusack says. "They know they could be more effective, but you have to force them." A law passed by Congress last year may nudge the foot- draggers into action. The law re- quires the U.S. to consider cut- ting aid to countries that fail to reduce their drug output. Last year, drug output actually in- creased in seven countries that get U.S. aid. But the State De- partment hesitates to take ac- tion, because aid serves impor- tant foreign policy goals, such as keeping a country politically stable. Still, the law has made foreign governments see how se- rious the U. S. takes the drug problem-a plus, The second battlefront is at or inside U.S. borders, where agents and po- lice try to inter- cept smuggled drugs and break up drug rings. Stopping drugs at the borders is nearly impossi- ble. The U. S. Coast Guard figures that it would need $2 billion to stop three fourths of the marijuana smuggling. Now, smugglers are successful 85 to 90 percent of the time. U.S agents observers say. are careful to seize goods and money when they smash drug rings. This way, they keep traf- fickers from using their money to start up business again. Last year, agents seized assets worth $200 million. The U.S. military has joined the drug battle at home. Nation- al Guard training missions in California often include raids on marijuana producers. THE THIRD FRONT Education makes up the third drug battlefront. Nancy Reagan, the First Lady, is a leading sup- porter of this effort, which has been hobbled by funding cuts. But education alone is not enough. Experts stress that the drug supply must be cut. They point out that doctors and nurses are well educated about the dangers of narcotics. Yet these professionals, knowledgeable as they are, have very high rates of drug addiction. If drugs are available, experts warn, people are going to abuse them. -Maura Christopher Intercepting drugs that smugglers bring across U.S. borders is difficult, but not impossible.

Scholastic UPDA'1'1:: AN INSIDER'S LOOK AT DRUG-LAW ENFORCEMENT John C. Lawn, the newly ap- pointed head of the U.S Drug Enforcement Adminis- tration (DEA), is taking over during one of the DEA's toughest times. But Lawn is no stranger to law enforcement. He worked 15 years for the Federal Bureau of Investigation before joining the DEA in 1982. A former high school basketball coach from New York, Lawn gives drug abuse education a high priority. Associate Editor Maura Christo- pher recently spoke with Lawn in Washington, DC. Update: What does the DEA do? Lawn: The Drug Enforcement Administration is the principal agency responsible for the en- forcement of the drug laws of the United States. In addition to serving in the United States, we serve in 62 cities in 41 foreign countries. I read with some in- terest that in New York City, there are 2,200 female police of- ficers-that's the approximate number of agents we have in the world. So we are a very small agency with an enormous task. TRACKING DRUGS ABROAD Update: What role does the DEA play abroad? Lawn: Internationally, we do not have the power of arrest. Our role is working with foreign gov- ernments, developing intelli- gence, assisting with their train- ing programs, and trying to enhance their narcotics enforce- ment efforts. For instance, we've seen an influx of Nigerians in- volved in heroin traffic. We have one agent assigned to Nigeria. This is a lonely job, and some- times in a very hostile environ- ment. Update: As head of DEA, what would you like to accomplish? Lawn: I think it is appalling for us to recognize that the U.S. is perhaps the most prolific drug abusing country in history. I would like to see that turned John C. Lawn, head of the DEA, often works to get foreign governments to slow drug production within their borders. Fighting drug output abroad and changing attitudes at home are top goals of the new head of the Drug En- forcement Administration. around. I'm talking not only in terms of narcotics and danger- ous drugs, but about our use of alcohol, and our use of tobacco. Update: What's the size of the problem that you're up against? Lawn: The problem we face is substantial. The battle against drug abuse is not a battle that will be won this year or next year, because, in addition to the enforcement aspect, we must change the views of our citizens. Update: Are you focusing on fighting certain types of drugs? Lawn: We certainly will look at any drug that is being abused. However, as a practical matter, cocaine is the drug of choice. So, more than half of our investiga- tive resources are involved in fighting cocaine trafficking. Update: We stop only about 10 to 15 percent of the drugs that come into the U.S. Are we losing the battle against drugs? Lawn: I think we are a long way from winning the narcotics war, but we are having a severe im- pact on traffickers. We recently had an agent killed in Mexico, and we receive threats regularly around the world. Were we not effective, they would have no need to threaten us. Update: Who is behind narcotics trafficking? Lawn: You have to categorize the drugs. Historically, the orga- nizations involved with heroin smuggling have been tradition- al organized crime. Ten years ago, organized crime families may have been involved with 80 percent of the heroin consumed in the United States. However, now it may be as low as 20 per- cent, because enforcement ef- forts have been so effective. Cocaine comes from three pre- dominant sources in this hemi- sphere: Colombia, Peru, and Bo- livia. In Colombia terrorist groups are involving themselves in trafficking. The government of Colombia has recognized that this is a serious problem. NARCOTICS WEALTH Update: Are the economies of these countries growing depen- dent on drug trade money? Lawn: While trafficking does en- rich individuals of a given coun- try, it doesn't necessarily enrich the country. The traffickers im- mediately transfer their money to countries where there are [banking] havens. The coca grower in Peru may stand to gain 200 American dollars by cultivating coca over a year. This is the difference for that coca grower between starvation and a livelihood. But that coca grower will never have the afflu- ence that the trafficker does. Update: Should the U.S. tie its foreign aid to another country's progress in fighting drugs?

The answer, how- ever, is not simple. We have to balance what our lack of pay- ment will do to the state of their economy. While there would be a short-term gain [in fighting drugs], if a country has a falter- ing economy, they are going to reach out to some other country or group for aid. And this group could foster a communist ideolo- gy in our hemisphere. GUARDING U.S. BORDERS Update: Does the DEA empha- size stopping drugs before they reach the U.S., or combating drug traffic inside the U.S.? Lawn: Our predominant success will be obtained by efforts at the source countries. When we re- vert to a fallback position of [in- tercepting drugs] at the borders, that's an impossible task. So, it is critical for us to convince the source countries to effect law en- forcement. Our fall-back posi- tion is attacking the major inter- national trafficking cartels within the United States. Update: How does the DEA de- cide which traffickers to target? Lawn: We have intelligence gathering capabilities through- out the world. When we learn who the major trafficking orga- nizations are, we target the ones where we could have a substan- tial impact with our resources. Last year, we seized assets in excess of $100 million dollars. We seized a Tiffany lamp collection from a traf- ficker. [Tiffany lamps are rare antiques made of stained glass. The collection sold for $1.7 million. A single lamp brought $50,000. -Ed.] Update: Many different federal agencies are fighting drugs. Does this overlap reduce your effectiveness? Lawn: Historically, this was a problem. There were perhaps 10 agen- cies involved in drug enforcement. Now, with the new Comprehen- sive Crime Control Act [signed in October, 1984], we have the Attorney General of the United States designated as the "drug czar." He will ensure that all of the agencies involved with drug enforcement will work toward a common goal. WIDESPREAD ABUSE Update: Why do you think drug abuse is so widespread? Lawn: If we take the time to watch TV, we find that one out of every five commercials reminds us that we who don't feel good can feel better by putting some- thing into our systems, be it to- bacco, alcohol, amphetamines, barbituates, or aspirin. I think a major source of the problem is that our youngsters learn at a very young age that we don't feel well, or that we should feel better. In our highly charged so- ciety, stress plays a major role. In order to fight stress, we have abusers of dangerous drugs. Update: How important is drug education ? Lawn: In the 1970s, young peo- ple were asking, "What's the dif- ference between our using mari- juana and our parents having a cocktail?" The research was not available to give the answers. Now we have that body of knowledge to explain the sub- stantial health problems. Educa- tion is critical. As soon as the government begins to dictate to citizens what to do, that's when the system fails. But when we get citizens involved in educa- tion [and] citizens decide, "Hey, this is right," that's when we're going to see success. Update: Does the DEA have enough resources for prevention and education? Lawn: We have no money in our budget for our education pro- gram. We are getting funds for it from the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the National Foot- ball League. ABUSE PREVENTION Update: What is your sports-drug awareness program? Lawn: The sports-drug aware- ness program was introduced to us by a high school coach. Based on his recommendation, we explored the possibility of getting the 48,000 coaches in- volved in varsity athletics to learn about drug abuse. We who are or were in coaching know the coach is in a trememndous position to influence a young- ster. I have, as recently as a week ago, received a call from a person who was on my team 21 years ago. Obviously, I had some influence on that individ- ual's life. If we can use the influ- ence a coach has to direct the student against drug abuse, we are going to see some changes in the attitudes of young people. Update: What about the kids important that they work together. says John Lawn. Above, specially trained dogs make the job easier for the U.S. Customs Service. who don't take sports? Lawn: The coaches will impart their knowledge to their athletes. The athletes will use peer pressure to influence their classmates. Cer- tainly a small percent- age of high school groups will not be af- fected. If we touch only 10 percent of the stu- dent population, that's progress. We can arrest people until you are a great-grandmother, and it will not have a substantial impact on young people. It is only when attitudes change that we will see a dif- ference.

Devoe knew he had a problem. It was a familiar one. Devoe, a pilot and drug smug- gler, needed a bank to hold his money. But he needed a bank that would not report his depos- its to the U.S. government. Devoe found that bank in the Bahamas, a small island coun- try in the Caribbean. After a de- lay, a banker there accepted his deposit-on the condition that Devoe pay a one-percent "count- ing fee." In the U.S., banks must report deposits of $10,000 or more to the government. No such laws exist in the Bahamas. That's why drug traffickers like Devoe, who told his story to the President's Commission on Organized Crime, fly to the Bahamas and other such countries with their "narcodollars"-money gleaned from the narcotics trade. LAUNDERING MONEY Each year, say U.S. Govern- ment officials, between $30 and $40 billion in criminal drug mon- ey is banked in places like the Bahamas. The process in effect cleans, or "launders," money made dirty through crime. After- wards, drug traders can easily draw the laundered money out of the bank and spend it. There is no law against laun- dering. Congress is only now studying such a law as a way to hit drug dealers where it hurts most-in their bank accounts. No one knows the exact size of the drug trade. But federal offi- cials say the numbers are much larger than the $30 to $40 billion laundry bill. U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz says that Americans spend at least $80 billion a year on drugs. That's more than the value of a year's output of goods and services in Health bills, crime, and shod- dy work, all drug related, cost the nation $25 billion a year. Billions more in profits lure many to the drug trade. many nations. Other sources put the total as high as $110 billion. Whatever the actual figure, most experts say that it is rising. But the drug trade's costs can't be estimated in narcodollars alone. Social costs-everything on the U.S. economy of illegal drug trade and drug abuse LOW JOB PRODUCTIVITY eAbs'nte lsm: nearly $5 billion 'Drug deaths: $1.3 billion 'Employees jailed: $2.1 billion Workers who quits $6.3 billion HEALTH CARE COSTS 'Medical treatment: $1.9 billion 'Employee Assistance Programs: $367 million THE COSTS OF CRIME 'Court. police, prison bills: $5.2 billion 'Crime prevention (locks, alarms. etc.): $1.6 billion 'Property destruction: $113 million. (1983 dollars) Estimated total economic impact from drug-related job absences to crime and medical bills- must be included, too. The year- ly cost of these items to Ameri- cans may exceed $25 billion. (See table.) Drug-related crime, estimated to cost the U.S. about $7 billion, is often seen as the major eco- nomic impact of the trade in ille- gal drugs. But another, less ob- vious, cost is job productivity- what a worker accomplishes in a given amount of time. A recent survey by the New Jersey-based National Cocaine Hotline found that 75 percent of the people who use cocaine admit using it at work. And 64 percent of those surveyed said that their job per- formance suffered as a result. DRUGS AND WORK A study done by the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company found that workers who use drugs are 3.6 times as likely to have acci- dents on the job as people who don't use drugs. Also, the re- searchers reported, drug users were 2.5 times as likely as non- users to miss more than a week's work. Moreover, they were five times as likely as non- users to file claims for workers' compensation-an insurance fund used to replace wages lost due to injuries received on the job. And, said Firestone, work- ers who used drugs drew three times as many sick benefits-to cover doctor and hospital fees, for example-as workers who did not use drugs. Another survey found that drug users are only 67 percent as productive as non-users. In economic terms, an addicted auto worker with a $25,000 sala- ry would be wasting about $8,000 of the company's money a year. A vice president at the same company, who earned $200,000, would be wasting $66,000 a year. Neither of these figures includes the cost of re- Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 MAY 10, 1985 ? 13 pairing cars damaged by sloppy workmanship. Nor does either figure include the cost of proper- ty theft and embezzlement by drug-using employees. "In order for American industry to remain competitive, you've got to get more than that out of your work- ers," says Dr. Carlton Turner, who advises President Reagan on drug abuse matters. To combat these economic threats, many companies have begun Employee Assistance Pro- grams (EAPs) to provide counsel- ing and medical aid for addicted employees. In 1950, 50 compa- nies had set up EAPs. By 1983, at least 5,000 had done so. AID PROGRAMS PAY Although EAPs first focused on alcohol abuse, many now in- clude drug treatment. The best- known EAP is that of General Motors, which began drug coun- seling in 1975. Today, about 10,000 GM workers receive EAP treatment. GM says that the program, though costly, makes economic sense. For every $1 invested, GM contends, it gets a $3 return in terms of fewer accidents and less employee sick time. Drug treatment plans have expanded beyond EAPs. In 1983, Medicare, a federal health insurance pro- gram covering some 30 million elderly Americans, began cover- ing drug treatment costs. The cost of battling drug abuse extends far beyond U.S. shores. According to Secretary Shultz, the U.S. will spend more than $100 million on worldwide drug control programs in 1985. Much of that money will pay for the destruction of drug-pro- ducing plants in other nations. In Colombia-a major source of the marijuana and cocaine that enters North America-the U.S. spent almost $8 million in 1984. In one program, more than 4,000 acres of marijuana plants were sprayed with herbicide. Offi- cials claimed that one operation may have kept as much as $3 billion worth of Colombian mari- juana from reaching the U.S. In Peru, the source of much of North America's cocaine, the U.S. has spent $30 million to de- stroy coca fields and help farm- ers substitute rice and other crops. In 1983, the U.S. signed a treaty with Bolivia, the source of half the world's cocaine and a tenth of the U.S. supply. The treaty obliges Washington to spend $58 million through 1988 to control Bolivia's drug trade and help farmers grow other crops. A vital part of this overseas operation is the training of for- eign drug officers. Since 1971, the U.S. has paid for the training of more than 25,000 foreign drug enforcement officers. In 1985, the U.S. will fund the training of 2,000 such offi- cers in 30 na- tions. Beyond this, the U.S. is stepping up its effort to catch smugglers as they try to enter the U. S. In 1984, the U.S. Cus- toms Service seized heroin, cocaine, and marijuana with an estimated street value of $10 billion. Aiming to seize even more, Con- gress appropri- ated $25 mil- $30, 000 in the U. S. Heroin, made from the opium poppy, offers an even larger prof- it. Asian farmers get $30 to $55 for a kilogram of opium gum, made from the milky center of the pop- py. The gum must be refined to make heroin. It takes about 10 kilograms of gum-costing be- tween $300 and $550 a kilo- gram-to make a kilogram of heroin. In 1984, the wholesale price of a kilo of heroin in the U. S. ranged from $55,000 to $285,000. The wholesale cost of marijua- na, the most popular drug, is $350 to $700 a pound in the U. S. Miami cocaine bust. "As long as large numbers of people are willing to pay any price for this horrible drug, it won't go away," says Diego Pizano, Colombian government economist. lion for eight Customs Service high-endurance tracking planes. Their job: finding, following, and intercepting planes carrying drugs from the Caribbean and South and Central America. The Customs Service hopes to have at least four of the new planes flying and chasing drug-smugglers by July. Even with this massive effort, the economics of the drug trade are so alluring that drug dealers appear undaunted. Profits are so huge that there is no shortage of people willing to risk jail and even death for narcodollars. In Colombia, for example, the price of cocaine may be $4,500 to $7,350 a kilogram-35.3 ounces. But a smuggler can sell that kilo for But when sold to individual us- ers, the price is $60 to $175 an ounce. That's a profit of at least 300 to 900 percent. In the end, it's the economic element that seems to be the most addictive part of the drug trade. With so much money to be made, many drug traffickers re- gard arrest and even jail as part of the cost of doing business. "You can put them in jail for 10 years," Jim Bramble, a special agent with the U.S. Drug En- forcement Administration, says of the drug traffickers. "And when they get out of jail, if they still have that $40 million bank account in Switzerland or Pana- ma or Grand Cayman, they go right back in business." -Peter M.

Scholastic UPDATE A "RITE OF PASSAGE" MORE YOUNG PEOPLE AVOID y the age of 14, Nicki was a "weekend war- rior," waiting till Friday Band Saturday nights to get high. Two summers ago, her family moved from Boston to Brooklyn, NY-and Nicki moved into her new neighborhood's drug scene. She began "migrat- ing" with "an older crowd, more advanced in terms of drugs." Soon she was smoking marijua- na twice a day. Then, she says, "I got bored with that high and sampled other things-cocaine, angel dust, a lot of drinking." Nicki was lucky. She was caught-arrested for possession of cocaine. She entered a treat- ment program at Phoenix House, the nation's largest private drug- treatment center, and has been drug-free for 10 months. "I didn't think I had a drug addiction problem, but now I know I did," says Nicki, now 16. "I didn't care about school or family life or whether I was socially respect- ed. Now I strive for things, and my values have changed for the better." AN EPIDEMIC OF ABUSE Millions of other Americans aren't as lucky. New reports find cocaine use a common factor in many heart attacks among peo- ple under 40. Others link drug and alcohol use to rising death, accident, and suicide rates among people under 25. These are just a few results, experts fear, of an epidemic of drug abuse that threatens America's medical, social, and economic health. Researchers point to a dramat- ic rise in public acceptance of drug use. In 1962, less than 4 percent of the population report- ed having used an illegal drug. By 1983, that had climbed to 33 percent of all Americans over age 12. The National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates that, each month, about 20 million people Smoking marijuana is still a common sight around many schools, but two thirds of all seniors now disapprove. Experts fear that widespread drug abuse threatens Ameri- ca's health, but growing numbers of young people are turning against drugs. smoke marijuana, 5 to 10 million use cocaine, and over 4.5 million use stimulants or depressants. Old stereotypes that drug us- ers are poor, young, uneducated misfits no longer hold true. To- day, heavy drug users can be found in every social class and occupation-from stockbrokers and lawyers to factory workers and bookkeepers. "Drug use at the workplace is as common as the coffee break," concluded one former U.S. drug agent who now advises businesses on drug-tak- ing employees. And counselors who work with young people say "the better the school, the 'bet- ter' the drugs" that students can find. Part of the reason for rising drug use-and changing atti- tudes-is the influence of the "baby boom" generation, people who came of age during the "drug revolution" of the 1960s and 1970s. Drug use is up among those older than 26, largely be- cause many grown-up baby boomers aren't giving up their drug-taking habits. Society is now sending people a double message about drugs, many experts say. "On the one hand, we still deplore young people doing anything that has the potential to injure them," says Dr. Norman Zinberg, pro- fessor of psychiatry at Harvard. "On the other hand, there's a so- cial awareness that you can al- ter your mood in a variety of ways. That's a different kind of thinking than was true before the drug revolution." RELYING ON DRUGS The result, experts say, is a growing reliance on drugs as an easy way to deal with problems of all kinds, from backpain to unhappiness. Those liable to de- velop drug habits are usually those who use drugs to cope with stress or to supply feelings they lack, such as a sense of self-worth. "They often have a sense that something's wrong, or feelings of inadequacy, pessi- mism, and helplessness," says Patrick Nordquist, director of Phoenix House's IMPACT pro- gram for young people. "To loners, drugs can offer a sense of identity and a ready-made so- cial network." For Chris, a 17-year-old New Yorker, drugs offered all those things-and an addiction he didn't bargain for. "It was so much easier to say, 'Bag the re- sponsibilities, let's go get stoned,' " he recalls. Chris start- ed smoking marijuana in the ninth grade, and by his junior year at a prestigious Eastern prep school, he and his friends were getting stoned every day. His grades dropped, and he was "pretty much thrown out" of school. "I felt so bad about my- self I started doing cocaine ev- ery day," Chris says.

I was stealing a lot from my parents. I even beat up my brother for losing $2 worth of herbs. " Chris ran away from one treat- ment program before going to Phoenix House. Now drug-free for nine months, he's still not sure that he'll be able to stay straight. "There's a part in everyone that's self-destructive, that wants to be angry at your- self and pity yourself," Chris says. "Drugs are a sign that you want something but you're lost." CHANGING ATTITUDES One encouraging sign is that more and more young people are finding other ways to deal with their problems. According to a nationwide survey of high school seniors, illegal drug use has been slowly dropping since 1980. (See chart below.) "We've seen attitudes reversing on most drugs," says Dr. Lloyd Johnston, program director of the Universi- ty of Michigan survey. "Most young people show increasing disapproval of drug use." For in- stance, only one third of the se- niors in 1978 said that daily mar- ijuana use was a "great risk," while two thirds of the seniors in 1984 agreed. Concerns about careers, fi- nancial security, and staying healthy are reasons Dr. Johnston cites for the decline. "More young people are finding out that drug use gets in the way of achieving their goals," he says. Still another reason, Dr. John- ston says, is that young people are beginning to trust new evi- dence that drug use is indeed harmful. Still, the survey revealed that drug use remains high. Nearly two out of three people try an illegal drug before they finish high school. And nearly two out of every five seniors admitted to a binge of at least five drinks in a row during the past two weeks. Such "binge" drinking is the kind that most often leads to accidents. More alarming, drug counselors say, is that the age of first drug use is getting lower. Today, most kids have heard about drugs by the fifth grade. By the ninth grade, many are regular users. TOUGHENING DRUG LAWS In response, a growing anti- drug movement of parents' groups and religious organiza- tions is fighting back in many communities. At least 25 states have considered anti-parapher- nalia laws-outlawing the man- ufacture, distribution, and sale of drug-related accessories. The movement is also pushing for tougher drug laws and a higher legal drinking age. "Parents are getting involved because their kids are in- volved," says Carolyn Burns, vice president of the National Federation of Parents for Drug- free Youth, which has 8,000 affil- iated parent groups around the U.S. "Kids are getting short- changed by the acceptance of drugs as a fact of life. It's por- trayed as a rite of passage into adulthood-not as harmful, un- necessary, and not smart." Mrs. Burns became active in the fed- eration after her two sons bat- tled drug abuse problems. Most experts agree that edu- cation is the most effective way of fighting drug abuse. "In the 1950s, you had to decide when to drink your first beer," says Dr. Zinberg. "Today, the choices are much more complex." Psychologists are developing new ways of identifying, before drug use starts, children who are likely to develop problems. They're also stressing the need to help young people develop the social skills and confidence that allow them to make the right choices. "In the long run," says Dr. Johnston, reducing de- mand for illegal drugs "may be the only battle in the war on drugs which society can really win." -David Goddy Drug Use Among High School Seniors Per cent who used drugs within last year 90% 80% 70% ~ 60% / 50? --- ----- . 0 30% 20 % 10% ------- 2 Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Cl ass .2 of of of of of of of of of a 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 Alcohol Marijuana Stimulants' Cocaine Hallucinogens2 (LSD,PCP) Inhalants3 Sedatives - Tranquilizers --- - Other opiates----- Heroin _.__, Cigarettes (monthly use) 'Dramatic drop beginning in 1982 is due to adjustment for overreporting.

Scholastic UPDATE 10 WHO TAKE A STAND IN THE WAR AGAINST DRUGS One South American drug kingpin, Carlos Lehder, has called cocaine the "Latin American atom bomb." Cocaine isn't the type of bomb that destroys buildings. Its effect is more insidious, because drugs, some experts fear, may be eating away at the fabric of our society. Drugs take their toll in homes, schools, and workplaces. One of Lehder's partners, Pablo Escobar, is pictured on this page. Opposing his and other drug traffickers' assaults on our society are the other individuals profiled on these two pages. They include parents, teachers, and government officials. President Reagan has called drugs "one of the gravest problems facing us," and his wife, Nancy, has adopted the fight against abuse as her personal crusade. So far, there are no victors in the war against drugs, nor is there any indication that it will ever end. But while smuggling increases, more and more high school students have begun to say no to drugs. The people on these pages, in one way or another, have had a lot to do with that turnaround. Nancy Reagan, 61, is on a personal crusade to stop drug abuse. As President Reagan's best friend and most trusted adviser, she wields a lot of power. Last month, she met with the wives of the heads of state of numerous countries to discuss tactics in the war on drugs. She has lent her name and support to many anti-drug campaigns, such as the "Just Say No" clubs springing up in schools across the country. Relisario Betancur, 62, is president of Colombia, the South American country that is the main U.S. source for cocaine and marijuana. Betancur, one of 22 children born to a poor rural family, worked his way out of poverty. He owned an exporting firm before his election to Colombia's highest office. He has vowed to end Colombia's drug production. The U.S. is helping him with more than $7 million in aid. Carlton E. Turner, 44, is Deputy Assistant to the President for Drug Abuse Policy. Appointed to the job by President Reagan in March, he spearheads White House efforts to halt drug abuse, through education and law enforcement. With a Ph.D. in organic chemistry, he specializes in research into the effects of frequently abused drugs such as marijuana and cocaine. Pablo Escobar, 36, is called "Robin Hood" by some in Colombia. There, he built low income housing, gave money to politicians, and offered to help his country pay off its $13 billion foreign debt. As Colombia's top drug czar, he is worth over $2 billion. Until last year, he operated openly and even won election to congress, while his drug profits were hidden in the tourist business. Colombia's new crack-down has forced him into exile.

Paula Hawkins (R-FL), 58, who chairs the Subcommittee on Children, Family, Drugs, and Alcoholism, wants to stop drugs at their source. In 1983, she visited five Asian drug-producing nations, then co- authored a law warning nations that allow drug production that they risk losing U.S. aid. She seeks life jail terms for drug pushers who kill and strict new laws to catch pushers near schools. Dr. Thomas Gleaton, 48, heads the Parents' Resource Institute for Drug Education (PRIDE). PRIDE aims to provide ways for parents of teenagers to make contact with each other. It supplies education materials on how to fight the drug culture's influence and reduce the unhealthy effects of peer pressure. The organization, started in Atlanta, GA, in 1977, has helped thousands all across the U.S. Joyce Nalepka heads the National Federation of Parents for Drug-Free Youth (NFP), a network of 8,000 parent groups. NFP helps kids plan drug- and alcohol- free graduation parties. It set up REACH America (Responsible Educated Adolescents Can Help), aimed at teaching the value of turning down drugs and based on the concept that peers can have the most influence on a teenager's life. Dr. William Pollin. 62, has directed the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a U.S. federal agency, since 1979. NIDA conducts and publishes findings of drug abuse studies. From 1974-79 Pollin directed NIDA's research division. He began his career in 1956, as a research psychiatrist at the National Institute of Mental Health. He is pleased with recent studies showing less drug abuse among high school students. U.B. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), 54, chairs the 25-member House Select Committee on Narcotics Abuse and Control, overseeing a staff of 17 and a $660,000 budget. He has introduced several bills to Congress, such as one banning the mail-order drug paraphernalia business, and another that would use money taken from drug busts to pay $100,000 rewards to informants. Jon Thomas, 39, has been Assistant U.S. Secretary of State for International Narcotics Matters since last fall. A former Green Beret who fought in Vietnam, Thomas began his State Department career in 1971. He quit in 1977 to enter private business. Rejoining the department in 1981, he was a senior policy planner responsible, among other things, for readying the U.S. response to terrorism. -Jacob Allderdice Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 18 a Scholastic UPDATE DRUG ABUSE SCOREBOARD DRUGS SEIZED BY U.

These are alarming figures. But drugs threatened past generations, too. What's relatively new is the public's awareness of the dangers of drugs and laws to combat them. A child of less than 10 years of age steps into a drug store with a 50-cent piece and a small scrap of paper, inscribed with one word, 'morphine.' No name is signed. No questions are asked. The bottle of morphine is wrapped up and passed to the child over the counter." That lurid story was told by a Tennessee doctor back in 1895. It sounds shocking even today, when The New York Times reports that at least a million Amer- icans are dependent on MFTCALFIS C, , 1-, l.a -r ,, I nd in ?b Au .n fr. ili. ?rlie x~ly [or ,nlndr ln.uil- .clie u31 ?I,llc rhewinK ,b,? l~n wliule dncx i .,~IinN n ~,rIJnK ,~`i,l~nur [~~nd, e, unJ 1?~^-+~~~Net l,e~nlgLt I,i r,?'frraLin;.? +leeip nc d, d s, a e.lunl,le i p'e6N(rv lrr~- r d,-, by i,lr d'-d"I nn",lyne and nnrlclux odh ,lunar ,Lc' be i~en mr~^ ea Y;n, er.lgln, xnd r,. nnnlst dnigen ,ou. that the drug was habit- forming, and the patient became addicted. Opium-the bitter red- dish juice of the poppy Papaver somniferum- was another highly ad- dictive narcotic. But, to many early American doctors, it was "God's Own Medicine," an anes- thetic prescribed for in- flammation, swelling, pneumonia, rheumatism, and diabetes. In 1860, Ol- iver Wendell Holmes, Sr., of the Harvard Medical School, claimed that "the Creator himself seems to prescribe (opium), for we see the scarlet poppy growing in the cornfields ous ills, including alcoholism and "the opium habit"-recogni- tion that 19th-century Americans had trouble with drugs. cocaine. But the sad fact is that narcotics abuse was no less common in the America of Ulysses S. Grant-who himself used cocaine as an anesthetic. In the 1800s, there were no federal laws regulat- ing addictive drugs like morphine. Tobacconists could legally advertise "Oxford hash"-hashish- in college newspapers. The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 banned fraudulently labelled medi- cines, but it did little to reduce the vast assort- ment of habit-forming drugs on sale at every American pharmacy. In 1913, an anti-narcotics crusader protested: "There are fewer safeguards around morphine than there are around beer. Its production is unhindered and conducted without supervision; its manufacturer does not even pay a license fee.... He is as free to market his poison as a hatter is to make his hats." In the 1800s, American medicine was still a primitive science. Doctors simply did not know how to treat most diseases. But they could always prescribe a pain-killing narcotic. Although it would not cure the patient, it might provide a temporary feeling of well-being. "With the sympa- thetic family standing about and urging the doctor to 'do something,' it is a great temptation to exhib- it a few doses of morphine," wrote one physician in 1913. Often the doctor did not realize ... wherever there is ... pain to be soothed." Opium was either smoked or mixed with alcohol to form the compound laudanum. The hypodermic needle, introduced to the U.S. shortly before the Civil War, was used excessively and carelessly to inject morphine. In 1877, a physi- cian showed off his syringe "with as much plea- sure as an old veteran would show his trusty blade, and claiming that he had used it more than 1,000 times." Often patients injected themselves. The Sears, Roebuck & Co. mail order catalog for 1897 featured a complete hypodermic kit for only $1.50. Infections and abscesses frequently result- ed from the use of unsanitary needles. A NOT-SO-WONDERFUL "WONDER DRUG" Cocaine, derived from the South American coca leaf, came to the U.S. in the 1870s. At first, doctors hailed it as a wonder drug. It was used by Sher- lock Holmes, the fictional detective, and by Sig- mund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. Freud later discovered the dangers of cocaine dependen- cy and publicly repudiated the drug. But wines, cigars, and even soft drinks containing coca con- tinued to be sold in U.S. drugstores. Doctors had equally high hopes for a new opiate introduced by the Bayer Company in 1898.

SINCE 30 YEARS ALL EMINENT PHYSICIANS RECOMMEND popularly used tonic-stimulant in Hos~fals, Public and Religious Institutions everywhere. Nourishes Fortifies Refreshes manufacturer claimed that the drug contained heroin. But it too produced thousands of addicts. In 1913, The New York Times reported that heroin was "sold so openly in one district of Boston that the vicinity of the drugstore which markets it has become known as 'heroin square.' The victims ... hold regularly what are known as 'sniffing parties' when the drug is passed around ... as the chief means of entertainment." Chloral hydrate ("knock-out drops"), invented in 1869, was a popular sedative until it was found to be addictive. Cannabis sativa-marijuana-was also used for medicinal purposes. It was pre- scribed as a relaxant in cases of tetanus, strych- nine poisoning, rabies, and migraine headache. Nineteenth-century drugstores stocked hun- dreds of "patent medicines"-most of them worth- less, many of them habit-forming. Even children's medicines, with homey names like "Mrs. Wins- low's Soothing Syrup," contained opiates. Unsus- pecting mothers used these concoctions to quiet crying babies. Some infants died of overdoses. Others became addicts before they left the crib. Pharmacists even found a way of exploiting the problem of drug abuse. They sold dozens of phony "cures" for narcotics addiction. And they had plen- ty of customers. By 1900, as many as a million Americans were drug addicts. MISLEADING STEREOTYPES Then as now, the public had some misleading ideas about addicts. The typical drug abuser was assumed to be young, male, urban, unemployed, and a member of a minority group. Following their racial prejudices, most Americans thought that opium was used mainly by the Chinese, mar- ijuana by the Mexicans, and cocaine by blacks. But the reality was very different. In an 1880 Chicago survey, only 5 percent of all addicts were black. Over two thirds of the addicts were native- born white Americans. Most were over 30 years of age and were solid, middle-class professionals. Doctors, who worked long hours and had easy access to drugs, often 'became substance abusers. In 1883, a New England physician estimated that 30 to 40 percent of the medical men in his city were dependent on opiates. Surprisingly, for every male "dope fiend," there were two to three female addicts. Many of them were prostitutes. But more than half were respect- able citizens. Men were more likely to over-in- dulge in another drug-alcohol. In Victorian America, drunkenness was considered shameful in a woman, but the matron who discreetly inject- ed herself with morphine was usually tolerated. Her neighbors would shake their heads in pity- and look the other way. New York jewelers adver- tised hypodermic syringes disguised as charms and sold them to wealthy society ladies. In 1914, Congress passed the Harrison Anti-Nar- cotic Act, the first law to combat drug abuse effec- tively. By choking off the supply of opiates, the Harrison Act created a "panic" among addicts, Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 MAY 10, 1985. 21 In the 1930s, Cole Porter wrote about get- ting "no kick from cocaine," an "in" drug among some entertainers then. who flooded hospitals and police stations. In response, many cities set up clinics to pro- vide doses of drugs to addicts. But once given a free supply of narcotics, the patients had no in- centive to report for treatment or to break their habit. This brief experiment in custodial care was written off as a failure and abandoned. In 1920, the era of Prohibition began. Liquor was banned throughout the U.S., and the government cracked down on other drugs as well. In 1925, heroin was outlawed, and federal control of mari- juana began in 1937. The new Federal Bureau of Narcotics claimed success in reducing the number of addicts, but stricter enforcement may have only driven the drug trade underground. Some social- ites and entertainers continued to experiment with narcotics. "I get no kick from cocaine," the song- writer Cole Porter sang in 1934, "but I get a kick out of you." UPSURGE IN USE AFTER WORLD WAR II After 1945, drug abuse was clearly on the in- crease. Heroin use began to spread to young peo- ple in city slums and some middle-class neighbor- hoods. Among the "beatniks" of Greenwich Village and San Francisco, using marijuana and cocaine was a way of rebelling against the con- servatism and conformity of the 1950s. During World War II, amphetamines were is- sued to GIs, who had to stay awake during long patrols. Later, these stimulants (also known as ""pep pills" or "speed") were abused by civilians: laborers working overtime, students cramming for exams, teenagers looking for thrills. Amphet- amine overdoses sometimes resulted in depen- dence, mental illness, or death. Even Allen Gins- berg, the beatnik poet, was horrified. "Speed is antisocial, paranoid-making," he said. "It's a Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and his wife experimented with cocaine, which killed one of their friends in 1891. A derelict injecting himself with a drug about 80 years ago. Dirty needles often do as much harm as the drugs. drag, bad for your body, bad for your mind." In the 1960s, some students and hippies experi- mented with a dangerous hallucinogen-d-lyser- gic acid diethylamide, or LSD. A "bad trip" often left serious psychological scars. Some researchers reported chromosome damage among users. By 1971, some journalists were claiming that one out of every four enlisted men serving in Viet- nam was using heroin. But those charges turned out to be grossly exaggerated. Then, as earlier, Americans overreacted to sensational stories about drug abuse. During the Spanish-American War and World War I, the newspapers were filled with shocking reports of wholesome American sol- diers falling prey to opium, cocaine, and marijua- na. In reality, some soldiers stationed in the Phil- ippines had been using camphor and opium to treat dysentery, but otherwise there was not much truth to these rumors. Later studies showed that only 6 percent of all World War I recruits were drug addicts or alcoholics. Of course, any amount of addiction, especially in a combat situation, is too high. But 6 percent is hardly an epidemic sweeping the entire armed services, as stories in sensational newspapers of the day suggested. Clearly, narcotics abuse is a very serious prob- lem today. But it's not a new problem. When me- dia commentators tell you that "America is a na- tion of drug-takers," remember that those words were first uttered by an eminent drug expert back in 1881. That fact was recalled by H. Wayne Mor- gan, a historian who has tried to help Americans keep today's news on drug abuse in perspective. "Every generation assumes that it discovers or endures problems for the first time," Morgan writes, but the fact is that "the United States has always had a 'drug problem.'"

Let's begin with the bad news. If you're a bad speller, you probably think you always will be. There are exceptions to every spelling rule, and the rules them- selves are easy to forget. George Bernard Shaw demonstrated how ridiculous some spelling rules are. By following the rules, he said, we could spell fish this way: g i. The "f" as it sounds in enough, the "i" as it sounds in women, and the "sh" as it sounds in fiction. With such rules to follow, no one should feel stupid for being a bad speller. But there are ways to improve. Start by acknowledg- ing the mess that English spelling is in-but have sympathy: English spelling changed with foreign influences. Chaucer wrote "gesse," but "guess," imported earlier by the Norman invaders, finally replaced it. Most early printers in England came from Holland; they brought "ghost" and "gherkin" with them. If you'd like to intimidate your- self-and remain a bad speller forever-just try to remember the 13 different ways the sound "sh" can be written: .hoe suspicion sugar nauseous ocean conscious issue chaperone nation mansion schist fuchsia paw Now the good news The good news is that 90 per- cent of all writing consists of 1,000 basic words. There is, also, a method to most English spelling and a great number of how-to-spell books. Remarkably, all these books propose learning the same rules! Not surprisingly, most of these books are humorless. Just keep this in mind: If you're familiar with the words you use, you'll probably spell them cor- rectly-and you shouldn't be writ- ing words you're unfamiliar with anyway. USE a word-out loud, and more than once -before you try writing it, and make sure (with a new word) that you know what it means before you use it. This means you'll have to look it up in a dictionary, where you'll not only learn what it means, but you'll see how it's spelled. Choose a dictionary you enjoy browsing in, and guard it as you would a diary. You wouldn't lend a diary, would you? A tip on looking it up Beside every word I look up in my dic- tionary, I make a mark. "Love your dictionary. ell Beside every word I look up more than once, I write a note to myself -about WHY I looked it up. I have looked up "strictly" 14 times since 1964. I prefer to spell it with a k- as in "stricktly." I have looked up "ubiquitous" a dozen times. I can't remember what it means. Another good way to use your dictionary: When you have to look up a word, for any reason, learn- and learn to spell-a new word at the same time. It can be any useful word on the same page as the word you looked up. Put the date beside this new word and see how quickly, or in what way, you forget it. Even- tually, you'll learn it. Almost as important as know- ing what a word means (in order to spell it) is knowing how it's pro- nounced. It's government, not goverment. It's February, not Febuary. And if you know that anti- means against, you should know how to spell antidote and antibiotic and antifreeze. If you know that ante- means before, you shouldn't have trouble spelling antechamber or antecedent. Some rules, exceptions, and two tricks I don't have room to touch on all the rules here. It would take a book to do that. But I can share a few that help me most: What about -ary or -ery? When a word has a primary accent on the first syllable and a secondary accent on the next-to-last syllable (sec're- tar'y), it usu- ally ends in -ary. Only six impor- tant words like this end in -ery: Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 cemetery monastery millinery confectionery distillery stationery (as in paper) Here's another easy rule. Only four words end in -efy. Most people misspell them-with -ify, which is usually correct. Just memorize these, too, and use - y for all the rest. stupefy putrefy liquefy rarefy As a former had speller, I have learned a few valuable tricks. Any good how-to-spell book will teach you more than these two, but these two are my favorites. Of the 800,000 words in the English lan- guage, the most frequently mis- spelled is alright; just remember that alright is all wrong. You wouldn't write alwrong, would you? That's how you know you should write all right. The other trick is for the truly worst spellers. I mean those of you who spell so badly that you can't get close enough to remember it myself. You add -able to a full word: adapt, adaptable; work, workable. You add -able to words that end in e- just remember to drop the final e: love, lovable. But if the word ends in two Q's, like agree, you keep them both: agreeable. You add -ible if the base is not a full word that can stand on its own: credible, tangible, horrible, terrible. You add -ible if the root word ends in -ns: responsible. You add -ible if the root word ends in -miss: permissible. You add -ible if the root word ends in a soft c incomprehensibilities the right way to spell a word in order to even FIND it in the dic- tionary. The word you're looking for is there, of course, but you won't find it the way you're trying to spell it. What to do is look up a synonym-another word that means the same thing. Chances are good that you'll find the word you're looking for under the defini- tion of the synonym. Demon words and bugbears Everyone has a few demon words-they never look right, even when they're spelled correctly. Three of my demons are medieval, ecstasy, and rhythm. I have learned to hate these words, but I have not learned to spell them; I have to look them up every time. And everyone has a spelling rule that's a bugbear-it's either too difficult to learn or it's impossible to remember. My personal bugbear among the rules is the one govern- ing whether you add -able or -ible. I can teach it to you, but I can't This is one of the longest English words in common use. But don't let the length of a word frighten you. There's a rule for how to spell this one, and you can learn it." (but remember to drop the final t!): force, forcible. Got that? I don't have it, and I was introduced to that rule in prep school; with that rule, I still learn one word at a time. Poor President Jackson You must remember that it is permissible for spelling to drive you crazy. Spelling had this effect on Andrew Jackson, who once blew his stack while trying to write a Presidential paper. "It's a damn poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word!" the Presi- dent cried. When you have trouble, think of poor Andrew Jackson and know that you're not alone. What's really important And remember what's really important about good writing is not good spelling. If you spell badly but write well, you should hold your head up. As the poet T. S. Eliot recommended, "Write for as large and miscellaneous an audi- ence as possible"-and don't be overly concerned if you can't spell "miscellaneous." Also remember / that you can spell correctly and write well and still be misun- derstood. Hold your head up about that, too. As good old G. C. Lichten- berg said, 'A book is a mirror: if an ass peers into it, you can't expect an apostle to look out"- whether you spell "apostle" cor- rectly or not. Today, the printed word is more vital than ever. Now there is more need than ever for all of us to read better, write better and communicate better. So far, International Paper has published over a dozen different "Power of the Printed Word" articles in the hope that, even in a small way, we can help.

Then check the names in the 1985 adidas All-American High School Basketball Team. This annual team is the cradle of superstars. Remember the Final Four in the national college play-offs in March? Every single starter-20 in all-was once an adidas All-American. Superstar pros such as Larry Bird, Ber- nard King, Moses Malone, Isiah Thom- as, and Michael Jordan all got their first tastes of fame as adidas All-Americans. The 40 whiz kids in the'85 team hail from 18 states and the District of Co- lumbia. The biggest representation is from Virginia. For the first time in the 30-year history of the All-American team, Virginia topped the nation with six selections. Georgia finished second with five picks, and Pennsylvania came in third with four. Add to Virginia and Georgia three picks from Florida and two from Ten- nessee, and the handwriting is on the hoop. The South has arrived ! And look at all that timber on the 1985 super team. Thirty-one of the 40 superstars measure 6'6 or taller. The team "tree," TO Tito Horford, is headed for the University of Houston. But the all-star with the biggest reputa- tion, 6'10 Dan Ferry, will be dunking for Duke University next year. That will make the Blue Devils a cinch for the Final Four. But don't cry for the Georgetown Hoyas. Immortal center Pat Ewing may have graduated, but Georgetown has an- other legend-to-be coming up. Tenth man on our list is Jonathan Edwards of Perry Walker High, New Orleans. He is a 6'9, 245-pound one-man fort on defense. He's just the guy to fill Ewing's shoes. Finally, beware the Tar Heels! The University of North Carolina had an up-and-coming team last season.

Here's how to help your students avoid some common pitfalls. Good news for bad spellers! There is nothing more reassur- ing to poor spellers than the knowledge that they are not alone. In this week's student magazine, best-selling author John Irving admits that he himself was once a hopelessly had speller. Now, Irving offers hope as well as advice to poor spellers. His message is another in International Paper Company's series, "Power of the Printed Word." You can use it with your students for a brief refresher course in tools to good spelling. Irving begins by pointing the finger at the true culprit of spelling angst-the unpredic- table English language with its gh for ghost, its gu for guess, and its thirteen different ways to write the sh sound. Yet, on the plus side, Irving admits that these spelling pecu- liarities reveal interesting tidbits about for- eign influences on our language. Irving offers some innovative tips for using the dictionary as a tool, gives a sam- pling of rules found in standard how-to-spell books, and ends with the message that thoughtful writing should precede the effort for flawless spelling. USING THE AD Motivation-Put the word orthography on the board. Ask: What is it? Just a fancy word for spelling. You might explain to students that it wasn't until the 17th century that printers adopted fixed spellings for words and that in the 18th century uniformity he- came more and more popular, culminating in Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary (1755). Discuss why correct spelling is impor- tant. (An educated person is expected to he able to spell. It is a skill required on many jobs. Poor spelling can be both insulting and confusing. Consider, for example, a letter addressed to Francis instead of Frances or the sentence, she was through instead of she was thorough.) Ask students to list some words that repeatedly give them trouble. Offer this comforting thought: one study showed that the ten most frequently written words in The rest are -cede. (precede, secede, etc.) English are 1, the, and, to, of in, we, for, you, a. Then tell them that author John Irving has some advice for learning the more difficult words. Have students read the entire ad before taking up individual sections for discussion and practice. Irregularities in English-Invite students to suggest their own favorite examples of peculiarities in English spelling. They might like to imitate George Bernard Shaw by devising their own outlandish spellings for commonplace words. Here are some ideas: s as in Worcester; .s and k as in psychology; ch as stretch; i as in busy; e as in leopard; u as in view. Using a dictionary-Review Irving's suggestion for using the dictionary as one's own personal spelling workbook. Stress that students should do this only with a diction- ary that they own. Students who don't own dictionaries can keep a spelling journal-in alphabetical order-of words whose spell- ing they have to look up. (A small notebook with letter tabs works well, or an inexpen- sive address book.) For practice, have students look up any words in the ad whose meanings they don't know. Some likely candidates: schist, pshaw, fuchsia, tnillinerv, confectionery, putrefy, rarefy. Have them note the history and meaning of the word and locate another word on the same page that is new to them. Rules, Exceptions, and Tricks-To help students learn the four rules that Irving explains, have them summarize each rule in writing in their own words and think of some additional examples. Here are two more rules you might give them: 1. -etv or sir? Words with an i preceding the suffix, add -etv (piety, society). Other words add -ity (vanity, equalit). Two excep- tions: nicety, .subtlety. 2. -cede. -ceed, or -.cede? Only one word is spelled -sede (supersede). Three are spelled -coed (exceed, proceed, suc( eed). Have students make up nonsense sen- tences that include all the words they can think of that follow a particular rule. For example: If you succeed at exceeding the speed limit. you may have to proceed to traffic court. For practice in looking up synonyms of hard-to-spell words, dictate some difficult words to students. Have the class suggest synonyms and look up the synonyms in the dictionary. A thesaurus would also work well for this. Here are some suggested words and synonyms: exhaust (tire); occur- rence (happening); seize (grab); pharrnacv (drugstore); pseudonym (pen name); chassis (frame); antique (old); rhythm (meter). Demon words and bugbears-Hang up a large sheet of poster hoard and invite stu- dents to add their own demon words as they think of them, including words misspelled on compositions. Pick a "demon word of the day," and have each student write a sentence using the word for that day. Here are some possible words to start the list: .spaghetti, sergeant, Wednesday, parallel, moccasin, tobacco, antenna, embarrass. What's really important-You can use this section to reinforce the distinction between the process of writing and the activity of proofreading, both of which are essential to good communication. Irving's point is: Don't worry about spelling in your first draft. Get your ideas on paper; use words precisely; focus on what you are say- ing. Then after revising, you can pay atten- tion to spelling. Have students practice proofreading in this way. Dictate to them eight to ten demon words. Have each student write a paragraph using at least five of the words. Then have them proofread one another's paper for spelling errors. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES 1. Some students might look up the ety- mology of common words or of words that have unusual spelling patterns. 2. Students can look at how-to-spell books in the library. Each student might pick out one rule he or she finds most help- ful and teach it to the class with an exercise to reinforce the rule. 3. Hold a spelling bee with demon words contributed beforehand on slips of paper by students. 4. Students might research attempts at spelling reform (including George Bernard Shaw's 48-letter alphabet). They might get started with the entry on "English Lan- guage" in a good encyclopedia. -Lois Markham Advertisement Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/12/22 : CIA-RDP88B00443R000502210001-4 1985 SCHOLASTIC WRITING AWARDS Co-sponsored by Smith-Corona, International Paper Company, National Broadcasting Company, Inc., and Paper Mate Pens More than 25,000 students in grades 7 to 12 entered the Scholastic Writing A wards this year, making it the largest student writing program in the country.
