'Fright, Despair and Eventually, Hope'
Our cover story on addiction generated much praise for its comprehensive coverage. "Your Special Report was superb for its breadth of views from political, clinical and personal perspectives," said one reader. Several addicts expressed gratitude. "Reading it, I felt fright, despair and... hope," wrote an addict from prison. "Thanks for an insightful report." But some readers had no sympathy for addicts. Huffed one: "Taking drugs is a choice that people make."
Loosening the Grip of Addiction
Your Feb. 12 Special Report, "Fighting Addiction," is the finest collection of articles on this subject ever published in a news magazine. This issue of NEWSWEEK should be read by every member of Congress, state legislator, city-council member and interested citizen who wants to understand the complexity of the problem of addiction to alcohol, illegal drugs and tobacco, and the need to prevent and treat it.
