The Quest for Drug Control: Politics and Federal Policy in a Period of Increasing Substance Abuse, 1963-1981
Between 1960 and 1980 various administrations attempted to deal with a rising tide of illicit drug use that was unprecedented in U.S. history. This book provides a close look at the politics and bureaucracy of drug control policy during those years, showing how they changed during the presidencies of Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter and how much current federal drug-control policies owe to those earlier efforts. The book bases its analysis on a u…

The book traces the development of narcotic use, legislation, American foreign policy, att…

"Heart's Blood": Henry Adams's Esther and Wife Clover
VENTS recounted in Henry Adams's novel Esther bear a striking, indeed eerie, resemblance to particulars of his wife's last year. Detailing her father's lingering final illness, Esther describes the profound melancholy that would descend upon Marian Hooper Adams (known to her friends as Clover) following his death. Dr. William Hooper's death did not occur, however, until after the book's publication in March 1884. In 1884 Henry Adams could still h…

Fear and Loathing in Addicted America
The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937
The anti-marihuana law of 1937 was largely the federal government's response to political pressure from enforcement agencies and other alarmed groups who feared the use and spread of marihuana by "Mexicans." Recent evidence also suggests that the Federal Bureau of Narcotics resisted the enforcement burden of the antimarihuana law until mounting pressure on the Treasury Department led to a departmental decision, probably in 1935, to appease this f…
