Needle in a haystack

by Bob Jones

Cover Story | The reams of "science, science, science" to support needle-exchange programs were hard to find. But in the end, what killed the Clinton Administration proposal to spend taxpayer dollars passing out needles to drug addicts was "politics, politics, politics," and the president's decision to back off. But some 100 needle exchange programs are in effect around the country, and some in Congress hope to slow the spread.
