Working in an inner city high school I see the devastating effects of America's racist drug policies every day. Thanks for posting this.

Namo, thanks for posting this.

Here's a (very positive) review of his book. I'd like to read it.

This is one where, with eliminating harsher penalties for crack vs. cocaine and the recent direction to avoid federal mandatory minimums, I think Holder and Obama have been making rather significant progress. (Relative to what passes for drug policy progress in this country.)

The whole system is absurdly ineffective, ill-reasoned and misguided. Thanks for passing this along, Namo.

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Reg,

Thanks for the review.

Once there was a Daily News reader who criticized other people's sources. And then he died.

I have been hearing nothing but raves for this book since the advance reviews started coming out. It got starred reviews in both Kirkus Reviews and Library Journal and a rave in Publishers Weekly.

""Once there was a Daily News reader who criticized other people's sources. And then he died.""

You always criticize Fox News as a source so maybe you should think of that!
