The Drug Hang Up, America's Fifty-Year Folly
by Rufus King
Chronology, References, Citations, and Sources
This appendix serves four purposes: it gives a rough chronological outline of the story, following chapter arrangements; it sets forth general references and authorities, the best of which are marked with an asterisk, together with supporting annotations for quoted material; it furnishes citations leading directly to the texts of key treaties, legislative proceedings, statutes, and cases; and it provides, at the end, a list of contemporary sources for additional firsthand information.
