One of the movers and shakers profiled in DRUG CRAZY is Rufus King, a Washington attorney who brought together the Ford-funded Drug Abuse Council and who locked horns with the nation's infamous first drug czar, Harry Anslinger. King's recollections of Anslinger's tactics and the sordid story of how drug prohibition started in America are fascinating bits of history that need to be remembered. King is the author of "The Drug Hang-Up: America's Fifty Year Folly", published in 1972, now re-released by DRCNet at http://www.druglibrary.org/special/king/dhu/dhumenu.htm on our "drug library" web site, created and maintained by DRCNet board member Clifford Schaffer. As King points out, the Drug War didn't start with Richard Nixon. Check out this important history that is now more available than ever before.
