Last evening I talked to a friend who had just returned to Denver from
South America where she and her fellow travelers became enchanted with tea
made with coca leaves.  I asked her if they had tried to bring some home,
and she said "No, but we might as well have.  Dallas International just
waved us on through."  So much for the war on drugs.  Granted they were
little old ladies and men, but they'll "smuggle for money."  Margaret
