CBS crew to explore
drugs on NY streets
NEW YORK (AP) — One of the
few places in New York where cus
tomers are assured of prompt and
attentive retail service is in the drug
bazaar which flourishes in Washing
ton Square, a bit of grass and trees in
lower Manhattan.
The pushers are so brazen you
can make a drug deal from your car,
with a television camera whirring
away in the next seat. The pusher
fears neither cops nor cameras.
The pushers, the buyers and the
victims of overdoses are among the
cast for “48 Hours on Crack Street,”
airing tonight at 9 p.m. on CBS.
Part news, part street theater, the
two-hour special is the fruit of an ex
traordinary weekend project which
put “CBS Evening News” anchor
Dan Rather and nine CBS corre
spondents on the street, backed by
18 camera crews and 25 producers.
They went looking for a drug
problem, and they found one. They
also became actors in moments of
high drama.
“You go out there as a reporter
and you don’t want to make a big
deal of it, but someone has to take
charge,” Dr. Bob Arnot, who covers
the medical beat on the “CBS Morn
ing News,” said.
Arnot comes across a man who
bought a heart attack with $5 worth
of crack, the cheap and powerful co
caine derivative. Arnot borrows a
stethoscope and supervises the
man’s evacuation to a hospital.
Whether it did much good, in the
long run, is debatable.
The victim, a 39-year-old man,
was a long-time drug user and has

Bernard Goldberg fends off a
pusher who is emphasizing his reluc
tance to grant an interview with a
broken bottle. When a neighbor
armed with a baseball bat comes to
Goldberg’s aid, police converge in
force. They aren’t interested in the
pusher, but in the guy with the bat.
Goldberg didn’t press charges,
and the pusher was quickly back in
business.
“I’m the reporter," Goldberg said.
“I didn’t want to get involved."
Bob Schieffer spends a long Mon
day in a New Jersey courtroom,
where every case seems to involve
drugs in one way or another.
“It’s very simple to say, ’Let’s get
them off the street’,” Schieffer re
marked at a preview screening, “but
it’s just an overwhelming problem.”

Reagan’s jewelry
provides missing
link for industry
PROVIDENGE, R.I. (AP) — Ev
ery time President Reagan appears
on television waving from the door
of Air Force One, the glint of metal
from his shirt cuff makes the jewelry
industry giddy.
Once a staple of a man’s ward
robe, cuff links had largely gone the
way erf wide ties and Nehru jackets,
exiled by the fashion world to the
role of anachronistic novelties.
But around Providence and
southeastern Massachusetts, where
the costume jewelry industry is king,
executives say the Reagan years have
solved the case of the missing link.
The word is that more and more
men are wearing cuff links on a reg
ular basis.
“Absolutely, it’s President Rea
gan’s doing,” said Irving Greene, se
nior vice president of Swank Inc. of
Attleboro, Mass. “He has always
worn cuff links. People associate this
with elegance and leadership.”
Swank produces about 80 percent
of the nation’s costume jewelry for
men, Greene said. About 10 percent
of Swank’s $25 million in jewelry
sales last year was in cufflinks, made
under such names as Pierre Cardin
and Colours by Alexander Julian.
That was a fivefold increase in
cuff link sales by Swank since 1979,
when sweater manufacturers were
still rejoicing at President Carter’s
love of cardigans.
But the current numbers still
don’t match the late 1960s, when 60
percent of Swank’s products made
sure men’s cuffs didn’t flap.
Not everyone is convinced that a
major fashion trend is brewing or
that Reagan is the reason.
Designer John Weitz said, “I don’t
think it’s that big and I don’t think it
has anything to do with our presi
dent, although he is a great one for
bringing back things from the 1940s,
be they political, conceptual or fash
ionable. There is a small resurgence
of cuff links which has tied itself into
the yuppie movement.”
T he fall of cuff links is blamed on
several factors, including fickle fash
ion tastes and the social upheaval of
the 1960s.
“When everybody was weat ing
tie-dyed jeans, no one was interested
in dressing up,” said Douglas Cro-
nan, vice president of Dolan & Bul
lock Co., a Providence jewelry man
ufacturer. Now, he said, “being
successful is in. And showing you're
successful is in. Cufflinks are a part
of that.”
But all take heed of the precarious
relationship between fashion and
politics. John F. Kennedy’s disdain
for fedoras was considered the fatal
blow to the long-declining popular
ity of men’s hats.
There is one catch for jewelry
makers — wearing cuff links re
quires a shirt with French cuffs.
But shirt makers say they are re
ady for the rebirth of cuff links.
“It’s an area we think there may
be some growth potential in, and
we’re going to try to maximize it,”
said designer Henry Grethel, presi
dent of the Manhattan Shirt Co. “ I t's
part of things becoming a little more
elegant.”
Grethel said French cuffs remain
less than 5 percent of his company’s
business, with most sales around
Christmas. But he plans to start
pushing them earlier than usual.
The C.F. Hathaway Shirt Co. also
is planning a big season for French-
cuff shirts, which make up about 15
percent of the company’s current
sales, compared to about 5 percent
only two years ago.
