This valuable 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. David F. Musto, M.D., and Pamela Korsmeyer base their analysis on a unique collection of 5,000 pages of White House documents from the period, all of which are included on a searchable CD-ROM that accompanies the book. These documents reveal the intense debates that took place over drug policy. They show, for example, that staffers and cabinet officers who were charged with narcotics policy were often influenced by the cultural currents of their times, and when the public reacted in an extreme fashion to rising drug use, officials were disinclined to adopt modified policies that might have been more realistic. Musto and Korsmeyer's investigation into the decision-making processes that shaped past drug control efforts in the United States provides essential background as creative approaches to the drug problem are sought for the future.Drug controlUnited StatesHistory20th centuryDrug abuseUnited StatesHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Drug controlHistoryDrug abuseHistory362.29/156/097309045Musto David F.1936-2010.973212Korsmeyer Pamela1945-1041005MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451948603321The quest for drug control2464256UNINA02594nam 2200601 450 991046451380332120200520144314.00-292-74556-7(CKB)3710000000072204(EBL)3443707(SSID)ssj0001059619(PQKBManifestationID)12479588(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001059619(PQKBWorkID)11079620(PQKB)11054017(MiAaPQ)EBC3443707(Au-PeEL)EBL3443707(CaPaEBR)ebr10803247(OCoLC)899045330(EXLCZ)99371000000007220420130207d2013 uy| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrDream West politics and religion in cowboy movies /Douglas BrodeFirst edition.Austin :University of Texas Press,2013.1 online resource (390 p.)Jack and Doris Smothers series in Texas history, life, and culture ;number 41Description based upon print version of record.0-292-70902-1 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.part one. Cowboy politics: Roosevelt through Reagan -- part two. God's country: Religion in the western film."Overturns conventional thinking that the Western genre is essentially conservative. Instead, Brode demonstrates that Hollywood liberals used Westerns to espouse a progressive agenda on a range of issues, including gun control, environmental protection, respect for non-Christian belief systems, and community cohesion versus rugged individualism. Doug Brode takes a new look at dozens of Westerns, including Gunfight at the O.K.
