Addiction in America

Califano, Joseph
Abstract
Washington has embarked on another drug-of-the-month war, the third since 1986. Like its predecessors, our nation's latest war is destined to be another fool's errand because of its narrow focus on illegal drugs and its failure to confront society's pervasive problem of addiction. Even the bellicose political rhetoric is misleading, for drugs come to America not by invasion, but by invitation.
