Crack and Meth Not Revisited

Frustrating piece at Slate this week about the meth problem. It's frustrating because the writer has a good article idea, but then he blows it. He draws parallels between the crack cocaine scare of the 1980s with today's methamphetamine panic. He basically says, "meth is

The New York Times ran a competent, even sympathetic, piece yesterday about religious scientists.
