To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First of all, could you gentlemen give us a brief de- scription of how these triads are organized; how effective our ef- forts have been both in China, Taiwan and in Hong Kong in dis- rupting triad activity; and whether you think that adequate re- sources are allocated to combat Chinese triads in the United States? Mr. Woolsey. Let me say just a brief word about their structure and then turn it over to Tony and Brian to fill in details. The triads are involved in a number of criminal enterprise...s: drug trafficking, alien smuggling, gambling, extortion. They are really rather fluid associations of criminals and of quasi legitimate busi- nessmen in networks that are based on cultural ties, geographic ties, sometimes linguistic ties. They are not regimented and structured and centrally controlled the way we are used to viewing, for example, an organized crime family associated with a Sicilian Mafia. The elites in the triads are usually pretty fragmented and they are kind of isolated from the rank and file.
