Armani suit, looking like a dark mirror-image of de Niro; a young girl of -- what? -- fourteen, fifteen? -- a sullen young man of twenty or thereabouts. No names are titled; the camera does not know these faces. Gradually, however, the _facts_ emerge. The club DJ, Sewsunker Ram, known as "Pinkwalla", and its proprietor, Mr. John Maslama, are to be charged with running a large-scale narcotics operation -- crack, brown sugar, hashish, cocaine. The man arrested with registered owner of a van in which an unspecified quantity of "hard drugs" has been discovered; also numbers of "hot" video recorders. The young girl's name is Anahita Sufyan; she is under-age, is said to have been drinking heavily, and, it is hinted, having sex with at least one of the three arrested men. She is further reported to have a history of truancy and association with known criminal types: a delinquent, clearly. -- An illuminated journalist will offer the nation these titbits many hours after the event, but the news is already running wild in the streets: Pinkwalla! -- And the _Wax_: they smashed the place up -- _totalled_ it! -- Now it's _war_.
