THE DAMAGE OF DRUGS, LICIT AND ILLICIT

The two above-the-fold stories in Sunday's edition, side by side, 
were the Mack corruption trial ("Two tell of attempts to pass cash to 
Mack," Jan. 26) and the widespread heroin epidemic ("Heroin makes a 
deadly comeback - The drug, cheap and widely available, leads to 
surge in overdoses").

The Mack story includes mention of the running of an oxycodone 
distribution ring. The heroin story talks about oxycodone leading to 
heroin use and addiction. (That is, if you are one of the lucky ones 
who doesn't die before seeking treatment.)

I finished my coffee, got a splitting headache, and went back to bed.
