My qualified but largely positive review (has there been any other kind) of Eric Schlosser's Reefer Madness appears in the current issue of People (sorry, not online). Insider anecdote: I originally cited a factoid in the book that Newt Gingrich once proposed the death penalty for smuggling two ounces of pot. Kyle thought that sounded wrong and checked Schlosser's source for it -- only to find that there was none. Guess Schlosser thought that silence was better than saying, Um, I found it on the Internet (no, the Washington Post article cited does not exist).
