Meese Eyes First All Out War On Drugs
Attorney General Edwin Meese aims to lead the first all out drive against drug abuse and create a climate that views drug use as slow self destruction. Federal estimates show Americans spend 110 billion dollars yearly on illegal narcotics, rising 10 percent annually, while New York drug busts yield 30 pounds of heroin and cocaine and 5.8 million dollars in cash sold by vendors arrested. The three pronged federal plan—arresting sellers, public education, and cutting sources—appears failing as imports from the Americas persist and border surveillance remains the last option.

Wall Street optimistic on 1987 growth forecast by ML and Salomon
Merrill Lynch and Salomon Brothers see 1987 growth around 2.9 and 4.3 percent respectively, with low inflation and rates, a weaker dollar aiding exports, and a moderating but high federal deficit. Chief economist Donald H. Straszheim cites a brighter start to 1987, with growth easing later and consumer spending, employment, and disposable income rising modestly.
