The 1950s War on Narcotics: Henry Aslinger, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and Senator Daniel Price's Probe
•
0 likes•573 views
This document summarizes a study that focuses on the drastic intensification of federal anti-narcotics enforcement in the 1950s. Politicians like Harry Anslinger and Senator Price Daniel used exaggerated fears about teenage drug use and organized crime to bolster their profiles and push for stricter laws. The 1951 Boggs Act and 1956 Narcotic Control Act embraced an enduring view of narcotics and punitive approaches, despite criticism. The study examines how these individuals operated in the new administrative state to pass severe legislation during a time of rapid change after World War II.

Assignment 7 - Modern Latin America
The document summarizes key aspects of race relations and identities in Bolivia, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic based on the film "Mirror of the Heart." It discusses how indigenous populations in each country suffered after European conquest, losing their lands, cultures, religions, and status. In Bolivia, the Spanish created a hacienda system that classified indigenous peoples as low-status "indios" working in near-slavery. Haiti's population is now mostly of African origin after the importation of slaves, and it struggles with poverty and corrupt governments. The Dominican Republic emphasizes its Spanish/European identity despite a mixed-race population and is antagonistic toward Haitians.
St. tammany chapter 7
This document summarizes political events in New York City and the United States between 1841 and 1842. It discusses the deaths of Presidents William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor, and the divisions within the Democratic party over the issue of slavery in the new western territories. It also describes the rise of influence of lower class leaders like Mike Walsh and Isaiah Rynders within Tammany Hall politics in New York City, as well as early clashes between different factions within the Democratic party. President John Tyler's veto of the national bank bill leads to further divisions between Democrats and Whigs.
Chapter 18
The Progressive Era saw calls for reforms to address issues stemming from rapid industrialization, such as political corruption, monopolies, unsafe working conditions, and social problems. Muckrakers like Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell, and Lincoln Steffens exposed these issues through investigative journalism. Their work helped spur support for reforms like the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 and 17th Amendment requiring direct election of Senators. Reformers also advocated for women's suffrage, child labor laws, an income tax, and union rights. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson both pushed agendas for regulation and trust-busting to curb corporate abuses and protect workers and consumers.

This document provides an overview of factors influencing success or failure in reducing illicit crop cultivation and controlling drug supply. It discusses the long history of human use of psychoactive substances for ritual and recreational purposes. It describes how the mass production and globalization of the late 19th century led to widespread recreational drug use. It outlines the origins and proliferation of opium and cocaine use, and the slow governmental response in regulating these drugs. It discusses how US drug policy, focused heavily on supply reduction through military-style eradication and foreign aid, has shaped international drug control efforts in recent decades.

The Hellfire Pictures
When journalist Hayatullah Khan heard that an important
Al Qaeda commander had been killed in the tribal-controlled
Waziristan region of Pakistan, he rushed to the scene. Khan took
photos of the shambles of the house, where, the government
said, the Al Qaeda leader had been making a bomb when it blew
up. Khan’s photos showed something else—fragments of a U.S.
Hellfire missile. Khan’s story, with photos, reported that the
missile had been fired from a U.S. spy drone—a sensational re-
port that contradicted both U.S. and Pakistani official insistence
that the U.S. anti-terrorism resources were honoring Pakistan’s
sovereignty and staying within the borders of neighboring
Afghanistan.
Officials at the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, which oper-
ates drones, were displeased with Khan’s reporting. So was the
Pakistani government. Within days of Khan’s revelations, Khan
vanished. Six months later his body was found dumped in northern
Waziristan, handcuffed and shot in the back.
Khan’s family blamed the Pakistani government. The govern-
ment blamed intrigue—somebody out to malign the government.
Whatever the truth, Khan’s death is testimony to the danger
facing war correspondents, especially in tribal no-man’s territo-
ries. Over two years, five reporters who ventured into Waziristan
were killed. Now almost all reporting from the area is second-
hand, with reporters using telephones to call into the region from
the relative safety of Peshawar and faraway cities.

DRUG WAR_RICE_final
This document provides an introduction and overview of the failures and costs of the War on Drugs in the United States. It discusses how prohibitionist drug policies have been ineffective at reducing drug use and have created unintended negative consequences. The economics of the illegal drug market, including high prices and profits, have incentivized crime and violence among suppliers. Over a trillion dollars have been spent on enforcement with little impact on drug use rates and harms may have been exacerbated by the criminalization approach. The "war" has largely targeted casual drug users rather than addressing problems of addiction and abuse.

History and policies behind Crack Cocaine
Drug policies are put into place in order to protect the public from the harm associated with illicit drugs. The intention of current policies is to contain societal problems such as violence, crime, poverty, and the sale of drugs. Throughout the United States’ history, the idea of containing crime and violence associated with drugs has been one of the narratives instilled onto the public. Drug policies has been a means to initiate that containment. Often media depicts drug use and association towards a group of people in order to influence drug scare onto the public (Reinarman, 1994). These groups would be depicted as violent and dangerous under the influence of drugs. Policies in the wake of Crack Cocaine were passed in the 1980’s as many researchers have seen it, as a means to oppress low income African Americans (Alexander, 2012). One method of this oppression is through “target population”, which depicted lower class groups as dangerous and violent, thus constructing the stereotype of who was associated with drug use and thus blaming these groups for society’s problems, which results in containing the source of problem through imprisonment (Neill, 2009). African Americans were portrayed negatively and associated with Crack use, resulting in draconian like policies that not only victimized lower class African Americans, but influenced a sentencing disparity based on a 100:1 ratio between Crack and Cocaine. While the policies passed to control Crack Cocaine distribution, possession and use were well intended, they ended up doing more harm than good, toward low income African Americans in the United States.
When President Richard Nixon launched his war on drugs in 1971, he linked drug use to violent crimes and the decay of social order. He proclaimed “America’s public enemy number one in the United States is drug abuse” this message resonated with the public, as it became known that drug abuse was the societal problem that had to be undertaken (Jareki, 2012). One year before launching this offensive, Congress passed the Controlled Substance Act which created a classification system comprising of five scheduling levels for drugs based on their abuse potential and medical benefits (Neill, 2014).
The ones that decided how drugs were classified were left to the attorney general in the justice department. In part when power like this is given to the courts or criminal justice system, it becomes corrupt as they have the power to say which drug is capable of being abused the most and seen as more dangerous than the other (Tiger, 2012). This strengthened the law and order approach toward drug containment over treatment and rehabilitation (Neill, 2014). The Drug enforcement agency (DEA) was established in 1973 in order to facilitate federal drug control and assist law enforcement.

The document summarizes the sinister role that three brothers - Abraham, Simon, and Bernard Flexner - played in shaping 20th century developments in medicine, politics, and international affairs. It describes how they helped establish the medical education system and institutions that still shape medicine today. Additionally, it argues that historical events like the Bretton Woods agreement and practices of the British East India Company helped establish conditions that led to the creation of the idea of HIV/AIDS for political and economic purposes. The document casts doubt on the scientific evidence supporting HIV as the cause of AIDS.

THE “NORMALIZATION” OF
ARGENTINE POLITICS
Steven Levitsky
On 24 October 1999, Fernando de la Rua of the opposition Alliance
for Jobs, Justice, and Education was elected president of Argentina,
defeating Eduardo Duhalde of the incumbent Justicialista (or Peronist)
Party (PJ) by a margin of 49 percent to 38 percent. Former economics
minister Domingo Cavallo, running on the center-right Action for the
Republic party ticket, finished third with 10 percent. The election was
unprecedented in several respects. De la Rua’s assumption of the
presidency marked the first time that Argentine democracy had survived
two consecutive transfers of power from one party to another, as well as
the first time that a Peronist had been removed from national office by
democratic means. In addition, the new Alliance government, which is
made up of the centrist Radical Civic Union (UCR) and the center-left
Front for a Country in Solidarity (FREPASO), is the first real coalition
government in Argentina’s modern democratic history.
Perhaps the most striking change, however, was the routine—even
boring—character of the election. De la Rua, a conventional politi-
cian without any of the charisma or “outsider” appeal of his predeces-
sor Carlos Menem, ran a bland campaign that centered on clean
government and institutional integrity. And in stark contrast to 1989,
when hyperinflation and mass looting forced Raúl Alfonsín to hand
over the presidency to Menem six months before the end of his term,
the 1999 transition took place without a hitch and virtually without
controversy. In short, a central characteristic of the 1999 election—
Argentina’s tenth national election since the collapse of military rule
Steven Levitsky, assistant professor of government at Harvard
University, is the author (with David Collier) of “Democracy with
Adjectives: Conceptual Innovation in Comparative Research,” published
in April 1997 in World Politics. His essay “Fujimori and Post-Party
Politics in Peru” appeared in the July 1999 issue of the Journal of
Democracy.

FlorenceJenna_Dissertation
This document is a dissertation that examines the relationship between horizontal inequalities and nationalist violence using African Americans in the United States as a case study. It argues that blaming Black nationalist groups for recent violence is incorrect, and that systemic horizontal inequalities are the true cause. The dissertation will analyze economic, political, social, and cultural data on conditions facing Black Americans to demonstrate these inequalities. It aims to directly link horizontal inequalities to the emergence of nationalism and violence, showing that a lack of development and strong racial inequalities have become security issues in the US.
Anatomy of the war on drugs in black
The document summarizes the history of drug policy in the United States from the 1800s to the 1980s. It discusses how drugs were initially used medicinally but then prohibited starting in the early 1900s. It outlines tougher drug laws and enforcement passed under Nixon and Reagan, aimed at drugs like marijuana, heroin, and cocaine. The document also notes that former Nixon aide John Ehrlichman admitted the war on drugs was declared to target anti-war protesters and black communities. Overall enforcement has not achieved the goal of reducing drug availability and supply, and has disproportionately impacted minorities.
EscobarAndStateSatisfactionProject
The document discusses Pablo Escobar, the former leader of the Medellin drug cartel in Colombia. It provides background on Escobar's rise to power as the head of a multi-billion dollar drug empire in the 1980s. It also discusses the United States' involvement in efforts to capture and kill Escobar through programs like Plan Colombia. Ultimately, Escobar was shot and killed in December 1993 in Colombia, which the document examines the satisfaction this provided to the U.S. State Department and the aftermath effects on drug trafficking.

Erik Roskes (2012), a forensic psychiatrist, refers to the “War on Drugs” as eugenics: the practice of ridding the human species of unfit biological stock, largely through sterilization. This was a popular practice in the United States well into the twentieth century. In North Carolina, for example, between 1929 and 1974 more than 7,600 persons were sterilized. Dr. Roskes refers to the drug war as eugenics without surgery: the mass incarceration for drug-related offenses of persons who disproportionately come from segments of society that suffer various, often multiple, deprivations: social deprivation, educational deprivation, nutritional deprivation, cultural deprivation, cognitive deprivation.
“ “There was little interest [at the end of the 19th century] in suppressing a business that was so profitable for opium merchants, shippers, bankers, insurance agencies and governments. Many national economies were as dependent on opium as the addicts themselves. Indeed, what Karl Marx described as ‘the free trade in poison' was such an important source of revenue for Great Powers that they fought for control of opium markets.”
—Antonio Maria Costa (2009, 3)
The history of drug use and attempts at its control provides insight into the complexity of more contemporary control, enforcement, and social issues on this subject. As with many attempts at historical analyses, we are handicapped by the lack of adequate data on a number of items, particularly the extent of drug use at earlier periods in our history and of alcohol use during Prohibition. Providing an empirically based analysis of changing policies with respect to drugs is difficult without the ability to measure the effect of these changes, and, in fact, we cannot provide such measurements.
Policy decisions, as we shall see in this chapter, have frequently been based on perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes with little empirical foundation. They have often reflected popular prejudices against a variety of racial and ethnic groups.1 Indeed, race, religion, and ethnicity have been closely identified with the reaction to drugs in the Unite ...

The document discusses the history of drug policies and their disproportionate impact on African Americans, particularly related to crack cocaine. It summarizes how the media in the 1980s associated crack cocaine with African Americans and inner cities, fueling moral panic. Congress then passed draconian drug laws, including sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine that punished African Americans more harshly. This led to mass incarceration of African Americans and destabilized their communities despite intentions to curb drug use and violence. The document advocates reforming drug laws and policies to focus more on treatment and harm reduction instead of punishment.
Mexican drug War sample writing
The document summarizes the history of drug cartels in Mexico from the 1980s to present day. It describes how Mexican cartels initially helped Colombian drug traffickers transport cocaine to the US, but later took over distribution themselves. This led to violent turf wars between emerging cartels and an escalating drug war beginning in 2006 when President Calderon deployed the military. The cartels have grown extremely powerful through corruption and intimidation, fueling a ongoing conflict that has taken many lives and shaken Mexico.
KKykerBookAnalysis#1SuburbanWarriors&TheNewRight1-18-16
Lisa McGirr's book examines the rise of the American conservative movement through the lens of Orange County, California. She argues that a strong grassroots conservative movement emerged from suburban communities in Orange County in response to social changes in the 1960s and fears over big government. Key figures like Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan helped spread these ideas nationally through their rhetoric and politics. According to McGirr, the mobilization of everyday suburban residents concerned with issues like property rights, individualism, and anti-communism was most responsible for transforming the Republican party into a nationally prominent conservative force.
final senior thesis 2015
The document discusses the effects of Mexican drug trafficking on Mexico and the US. It describes how drug trafficking has contributed to issues like violence, corruption, and political tensions between the two countries over many decades. While both countries have attempted to curb drug flows, Mexico in particular has faced challenges in gaining control over powerful cartels due to limited resources and widespread corruption. Escalating violence in Mexico during the 2000s, including over 35,000 drug war deaths, highlighted the ongoing struggles despite efforts by Mexican presidents to confront drug trafficking through military crackdowns.

Mass inceration within the nation (poli-sci final paper) #2
This document discusses the link between the War on Drugs and mass incarceration of African Americans in the US. It provides background on the War on Drugs, which began in the 1970s under Nixon and escalated under Reagan. Harsh drug laws and mandatory minimum sentencing led to rapid growth in the prison population, disproportionately impacting African Americans. The document examines sources that show the prison population quadrupling since the 1970s, with drug offenses being a major contributing factor. It argues the War on Drugs was pursued in a way that targeted African American communities through policies that treated crack cocaine much more harshly than powder cocaine.

History and policies behind Crack Cocaine
Drug policies are put into place in order to protect the public from the harm associated with illicit drugs. The intention of current policies is to contain societal problems such as violence, crime, poverty, and the sale of drugs. Throughout the United States’ history, the idea of containing crime and violence associated with drugs has been one of the narratives instilled onto the public. Drug policies has been a means to initiate that containment. Often media depicts drug use and association towards a group of people in order to influence drug scare onto the public (Reinarman, 1994). These groups would be depicted as violent and dangerous under the influence of drugs. Policies in the wake of Crack Cocaine were passed in the 1980’s as many researchers have seen it, as a means to oppress low income African Americans (Alexander, 2012). One method of this oppression is through “target population”, which depicted lower class groups as dangerous and violent, thus constructing the stereotype of who was associated with drug use and thus blaming these groups for society’s problems, which results in containing the source of problem through imprisonment (Neill, 2009). African Americans were portrayed negatively and associated with Crack use, resulting in draconian like policies that not only victimized lower class African Americans, but influenced a sentencing disparity based on a 100:1 ratio between Crack and Cocaine. While the policies passed to control Crack Cocaine distribution, possession and use were well intended, they ended up doing more harm than good, toward low income African Americans in the United States.
When President Richard Nixon launched his war on drugs in 1971, he linked drug use to violent crimes and the decay of social order. He proclaimed “America’s public enemy number one in the United States is drug abuse” this message resonated with the public, as it became known that drug abuse was the societal problem that had to be undertaken (Jareki, 2012). One year before launching this offensive, Congress passed the Controlled Substance Act which created a classification system comprising of five scheduling levels for drugs based on their abuse potential and medical benefits (Neill, 2014).
The ones that decided how drugs were classified were left to the attorney general in the justice department. In part when power like this is given to the courts or criminal justice system, it becomes corrupt as they have the power to say which drug is capable of being abused the most and seen as more dangerous than the other (Tiger, 2012). This strengthened the law and order approach toward drug containment over treatment and rehabilitation (Neill, 2014). The Drug enforcement agency (DEA) was established in 1973 in order to facilitate federal drug control and assist law enforcement.

The document summarizes the sinister role that three brothers - Abraham, Simon, and Bernard Flexner - played in shaping 20th century developments in medicine, politics, and international affairs. It describes how they helped establish the medical education system and institutions that still shape medicine today. Additionally, it argues that historical events like the Bretton Woods agreement and practices of the British East India Company helped establish conditions that led to the creation of the idea of HIV/AIDS for political and economic purposes. The document casts doubt on the scientific evidence supporting HIV as the cause of AIDS.

THE “NORMALIZATION” OF
ARGENTINE POLITICS
Steven Levitsky
On 24 October 1999, Fernando de la Rua of the opposition Alliance
for Jobs, Justice, and Education was elected president of Argentina,
defeating Eduardo Duhalde of the incumbent Justicialista (or Peronist)
Party (PJ) by a margin of 49 percent to 38 percent. Former economics
minister Domingo Cavallo, running on the center-right Action for the
Republic party ticket, finished third with 10 percent. The election was
unprecedented in several respects. De la Rua’s assumption of the
presidency marked the first time that Argentine democracy had survived
two consecutive transfers of power from one party to another, as well as
the first time that a Peronist had been removed from national office by
democratic means. In addition, the new Alliance government, which is
made up of the centrist Radical Civic Union (UCR) and the center-left
Front for a Country in Solidarity (FREPASO), is the first real coalition
government in Argentina’s modern democratic history.
Perhaps the most striking change, however, was the routine—even
boring—character of the election. De la Rua, a conventional politi-
cian without any of the charisma or “outsider” appeal of his predeces-
sor Carlos Menem, ran a bland campaign that centered on clean
government and institutional integrity. And in stark contrast to 1989,
when hyperinflation and mass looting forced Raúl Alfonsín to hand
over the presidency to Menem six months before the end of his term,
the 1999 transition took place without a hitch and virtually without
controversy. In short, a central characteristic of the 1999 election—

Steven Levitsky, assistant professor of government at Harvard
University, is the author (with David Collier) of “Democracy with
Adjectives: Conceptual Innovation in Comparative Research,” published
in April 1997 in World Politics. His essay “Fujimori and Post-Party
Politics in Peru” appeared in the July 1999 issue of the Journal of
Democracy.

This document is a dissertation that examines the relationship between horizontal inequalities and nationalist violence using African Americans in the United States as a case study. It argues that blaming Black nationalist groups for recent violence is incorrect, and that systemic horizontal inequalities are the true cause. The dissertation will analyze economic, political, social, and cultural data on conditions facing Black Americans to demonstrate these inequalities. It aims to directly link horizontal inequalities to the emergence of nationalism and violence, showing that a lack of development and strong racial inequalities have become security issues in the US.
Anatomy of the war on drugs in black
The document summarizes the history of drug policy in the United States from the 1800s to the 1980s. It discusses how drugs were initially used medicinally but then prohibited starting in the early 1900s. It outlines tougher drug laws and enforcement passed under Nixon and Reagan, aimed at drugs like marijuana, heroin, and cocaine. The document also notes that former Nixon aide John Ehrlichman admitted the war on drugs was declared to target anti-war protesters and black communities. Overall enforcement has not achieved the goal of reducing drug availability and supply, and has disproportionately impacted minorities.

The document discusses Pablo Escobar, the former leader of the Medellin drug cartel in Colombia. It provides background on Escobar's rise to power as the head of a multi-billion dollar drug empire in the 1980s. It also discusses the United States' involvement in efforts to capture and kill Escobar through programs like Plan Colombia. Ultimately, Escobar was shot and killed in December 1993 in Colombia, which the document examines the satisfaction this provided to the U.S. State Department and the aftermath effects on drug trafficking.

Erik Roskes (2012), a forensic psychiatrist, refers to the “War on Drugs” as eugenics: the practice of ridding the human species of unfit biological stock, largely through sterilization. This was a popular practice in the United States well into the twentieth century. In North Carolina, for example, between 1929 and 1974 more than 7,600 persons were sterilized. Dr. Roskes refers to the drug war as eugenics without surgery: the mass incarceration for drug-related offenses of persons who disproportionately come from segments of society that suffer various, often multiple, deprivations: social deprivation, educational deprivation, nutritional deprivation, cultural deprivation, cognitive deprivation.
“ “There was little interest [at the end of the 19th century] in suppressing a business that was so profitable for opium merchants, shippers, bankers, insurance agencies and governments. Many national economies were as dependent on opium as the addicts themselves. Indeed, what Karl Marx described as ‘the free trade in poison' was such an important source of revenue for Great Powers that they fought for control of opium markets.”

The document discusses the effects of Mexican drug trafficking on Mexico and the US. It describes how drug trafficking has contributed to issues like violence, corruption, and political tensions between the two countries over many decades. While both countries have attempted to curb drug flows, Mexico in particular has faced challenges in gaining control over powerful cartels due to limited resources and widespread corruption. Escalating violence in Mexico during the 2000s, including over 35,000 drug war deaths, highlighted the ongoing struggles despite efforts by Mexican presidents to confront drug trafficking through military crackdowns.

History of the Present: An Interview with Marci Shore
This document summarizes an interview with Professor Marci Shore about her role in the film and discussion forum "The Last Time I Saw Them" regarding Holocaust testimonies. She discusses how witnessing stories from Eastern Europe survivors influenced her perspective. She was horrified by the Trump administration separating families at the border, as it reminded her of Nazi atrocities. This prompted her to get involved to use the film archive to intervene. While skeptical of predictions, the storming of the Capitol aligned with her fears about undermining democracy. She remains hopeful that Biden's presidency can help more Americans accept their ability to enact positive change.
The Yale Historical Review Fall 2020 Issue
This document summarizes and critiques various theories about the identity and origins of the ancient Sherden people. The author argues that the Sherden likely emerged from northern Egypt's Delta region, rather than being foreign invaders or part of a larger Sea Peoples confederation as commonly believed. The paper reviews the evidence used to link the Sherden to places like Sardinia, the Aegean, and Syria. It aims to determine whether the Sherden had a distinct cultural identity or if their name was simply a label applied by Egyptians. Revealing the Sherden's identity could provide broader context about interconnectedness and interactions in the ancient Mediterranean world during the Late Bronze Age collapse.

This summary provides an overview of the document in 3 sentences:
Benjamin Austin launched attacks on lawyers in 1786 through newspaper essays calling for their "total abolition", sparking widespread debate. While historians viewed Austin as merely anti-lawyer, his proposals were actually aimed at increasing access to justice by simplifying law, encouraging self-representation, and replacing litigation with arbitration. This document examines how Austin's views evolved by 1819 to accept lawyers as helping access to justice, and how his advocacy shaped early understandings of the concept in Massachusetts.

The 1950s War on Narcotics: Henry Aslinger, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and Senator Daniel Price's Probe
- 1. SPRING 2020 THE 1950s WAR ON NARCOTICS by Will Horvath BK ‘20 Written for the Senior Thesis Advised by Professor Jennifer Klein Edited by Aaron Jenkins and Marcus McKee This study focuses on the drastic and underappreciated intensification of federal anti-narcotics enforce- ment in the 1950s, a shift that was driven by politicians and bureaucrats eager to use exaggerated fears surrounding narcotics to bolster their profiles. These men, including Harry Anslinger, Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and Texas Senator Price Daniel, deployed the institutional prestige of their government positions to drive disproportionate fears of teenage drug use linked to large scale, inter- national organized crime. Magazine and newspaper editors eager for sensational stories that drew eyeballs had little issue obliging Anslinger and his allies. This paper particularly examines how Daniel leveraged his 1955 nationwide narcotics probe for political gain in his home state, where he was elected governor in 1956. With the passage of the 1951 Boggs Act and the 1956 Narcotic Control Act, the U.S. Congress embraced an epistemology of narcotics that proved remarkably enduring. This essay unveils the dynamics that culminated in severe federal anti-narcotics legislation in the 1950s, even as Anslinger’s favored puni- tive approach came under fire from numerous individuals and organizations, including the New York Aca- demy of Medicine. It is a story of individuals operating in the burgeoning administrative state, a relatively novel evolution of state power functioning in a nation that perceived itself as rapidly changing following its victory in the Second World War. In this turbulent and quickly evolving environment where the lines between the legislative and executive branch had blurred, incentives often produced seemingly paradoxi- ABSTRACT 1YALE HISTORICAL REVIEW cal behavior. Understanding these incentives helps explain the emergence of draconian federal narcotics legislation during the 1950s. Henry Aslinger,the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and Senator Daniel Price's Probe
