Prominent

CASA's
work
"thin"
10/11/97
An article in the October 3rd issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education
exposed the less than scientific methods of Joseph Califano and Herbert
Kleber's "National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse" at
Columbia University.
Referring to CASA's White Paper, "Legalization: Panacea or Pandora's
Box?", Peter Reuter, a prominent drug policy researcher who is professor
of public affairs at the University of Maryland at College Park, was quoted
characterizing the CASA paper as "Very thin," adding "It
was hard to distinguish that paper from something put out by the Drug Enforcement
Administration."
(CASA introduced their White Paper in a generally ignored press conference
with Joseph Califano and former Drug Czar William Bennett. Read about it
in DRCNet's alert archive at http://www.drcnet.org/rapid/1995/9-13-1.html.
Casa is online at http://www.casacolumbia.org.)
