The way we were: Miami in the 1980's...Mariel, murder, crooked cops and cocaine

TIME Magazine, Paradise Lost, Nov. 23, 1981:

Anglos tend to work the marijuana trade, while the cocaine market is controlled by Colombians and Cubans. No matter what their specialty, the illegal entrepreneurs can be easily spotted. Young Anglos wearing scruffy Levi's and T shirts, gold Rolex watches and ropes of gold chain sit around the marinas waiting for the next call from a mother ship.
