U.S., LATIN LEADERS URGE NEW STRATEGIES IN DRUG WAR
As delegates from 34 nations assembled for what is billed as the first drug
summit for the Western Hemisphere, prominent Americans and Latin Americans
said yesterday that the war on drugs is being lost and new strategies are

promote economic development as a way to decrease the reliance on drug
