Source: The New York Times Section: National Page Pubdate: THURSDAY, 11 June 1998 Contact: http://www.nytimes.com/ Editors Note: The 1/4th page ad, below, provides an opportunity for action. Please call every book store in your phone book and ask if they have DRUG CRAZY in stock. Tell them you saw a large ad for it in the NYT today. If they say 'no' tell them that you are trying to find several copies for friends, but that you will call around to see if anyone else has it in stock before considering a special order. This takes only a little time, and may encourage stores to stock and display it. This is what I plan to do. A review of DRUG CRAZY is online at: http://www.drugsense.org/crazy.htm THE WAR ON DRUGS: VIETNAM ALL OVER AGAIN A President and his general locked in a failed policy, unwilling to admit the war cannot be won. Lives lost. Billions wasted. Sound familiar? As General Barry McCaffrey, the drug czar, calls for more troops and more weapons, the dispatches from the front tell us we’re still losing the war in spite of the body count. If people aren’t in the streets yet, they may be after they read "Drug Crazy" In 1978, Mike Gray wrote "The China Syndrome," the movie that blew the lid off the nuclear power industry. Now, "Drug Crazy" is about to do the same thing to the war on drugs. [PHOTO OF BOOK] "Anyone who thinks the war on drugs is succeeding should read this book." Milton Friedman "Gray brings a filmic sense of drama and action to a gritty, scorching look at the failure of America’s war on drugs." Publishers Weekly "It shifts the burden of proof from the critics of existing policy to its defenders. No mean feat!" Elliott Richardson "This is a book that every American should read and take seriously." George McGovern Paid for by Common Sense for Drug Policy, Kevin Zeese, President.
