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. 606 $aDrug control$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDrug abuse$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aDrug control$xHistory 615 0$aDrug abuse$xHistory 676 $a362.29/156/097309045 700 $aMusto$b David F.$f1936-2010.$01476933 701 $aKorsmeyer$b Pamela$f1945-$01476934 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778283003321 996 $aThe quest for drug control$93691733 997 $aUNINA
