Dear DRCNet reader:
Phil Smith and The Week Online
will be on vacation next week. We will return on Friday, August 22
with a landmark issue, #300. The Week Online is also having a name
change. Effective issue #300, we will be known as "Drug War Chronicle."
The official web page of the newsletter will be http://www.stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/
-- visit it now to check out our new, expanded format, which in addition
to the one-web-page-per-issue format will also include a one-page-per-article
version with tell-a-friend and comment functions.
We are also working on topical
news archive pages to supplement our current reverse chronological full
archive. And, we plan to offer, hopefully by next issue, a new subscription
option, receiving only the table of contents with web links and announcements
in your e-mail, instead of the full text as everyone receives now (with
the full-text option still available). Please feel free to send us
suggestions; the new format has been designed in a way to enable us to
make most format changes across the full archive at once, as opposed to
page by page, and
Much has happened in drug
policy and reform efforts since the Week Online started in 1997.
If you are wanting for reading next week, take a browse through our archives
and refresh your memory on the events of the past six years. The
new archive page can be found at http://www.stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/archives.shtml
online.
DRCNet will have one or more
bulletins during the next two weeks, including legislative updates and
perhaps mini-news briefings, and all other work will continue. Thank
you for being a part of our organization and of drug policy reform, and
see you soon.
