1970231661970. Narcotics raids arrests rehabilitation scenes and evidence displays across Florida in press photographs and magazine pages. Photograph archive spanning Miami Fort Lauderdale Pasco County and related Florida sites from 1970 to the early 1990s establishing how drug control operated through police action newspaper circulation and treatment institutions during the War on Drugs. Produced for press use by newspaper staff photographers wire services and law enforcement publicity channels the group shows the public face of narcotics enforcement at the point when South Florida had become a major corridor in the national drug economy and anti drug policy was being made newly visible through staged photographs official briefings and widely circulated arrest imagery. Named figures included such as Bob Gladden Larry Csonka Jim Kiick Admiral Rickover Carl Mingo and several rehab subjects identified by hand on the versos. The photographs depict suspects detained searched paraded identified displayed beside seized contraband and in other cases shown within rehabilitation settings revealing how law enforcement courts newsrooms and treatment programs handled the same crisis through different institutional forms.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 18 press photographs including 16 silver gelatin press photographs and 2 wire photos approximately 8 x 10 inches Florida 1970 to early 1990s. The core images show narcotics policing in action: a helmeted officer beside a paddy wagon crowded with detainees; a bench filled with young men under detention in an interior holding space; two handcuffed men led from a courthouse or station entrance; a police-released mugshot with typed caption identifying former New England Patriots running back Bob Gladden after arrest in Fort Lauderdale on a marijuana charge; and a street arrest with an armed officer escorting a suspect between parked cars. Several photographs center on the staged display of evidence including tables covered with packets of drugs stacked currency pistols taped "cookie sheets" and open suitcases packed with bricks or cutting materials. One image shows a narcotics dog inspecting rows of luggage; another shows officials at microphones before a sign for the Vice President's National Narcotics Border Interdiction System; another records cocaine seized from a concealed boat compartment. The group also includes rehabilitation scenes with young adults identified en verso in cursive extending the archive beyond arrest photography into treatment culture. Versos carry a dense record of press handling and editorial use including Miami Herald staff photo stamps dated Dec. 15 1970 and Jan. 5 1971 a St. Petersburg Times credit and clipping backing for a Pasco County drug ring case dated May 29 1974 typed bureau captions circled editorial notations such as "cocaine" "marijuana" "drug raid" and "Operation Crackdown" plus handwritten shot descriptions and date-used stamps.<br /> <br /> The earliest prints fall at the threshold of the modern War on Drugs while later additions carry the record forward into the crack era and the more theatrical seizure photography of the 1980s and early 1990s. Florida is central to that story not only as a site of smuggling and interdiction but as a place where narcotics enforcement became highly visual with press conferences celebrity linked arrests tactical raids canine inspections and rehabilitation coverage all translated into newspaper images for public consumption. The present grouping combines an earlier core of related press photographs with later additions and it preserves a strong visual record of how narcotics control was communicated to the public through local papers wire distribution and agency captioning. Light surface wear minor edge and corner handling editorial markings and stamps to versos scattered adhesive residue and toning; overall very good condition. A concentrated Florida press record of the machinery publicity and human management of drug enforcement across two decades. unknown

201729170Boston:: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2017. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. The Nazi regime preached an ideology of physical mental and moral purity. But as Norman Ohler reveals in this gripping new history the Third Reich was saturated with drugs. On the eve of World War II Germany was a pharmaceutical powerhouse and companies such as Merck and Bayer cooked up cocaine opiates and most of all methamphetamines to be consumed by everyone from factory workers to housewives to millions of German soldiers. In fact troops regularly took rations of a form of crystal meth—the elevated energy and feelings of invincibility associated with the high even help to explain certain German military victories. While drugs alone cannot explain the Nazis’ toxic racial theories or the events of World War II Ohler’s investigation makes an overwhelming case that if drugs are not taken into account our understanding of the Third Reich is fundamentally incomplete.

192976071Mountain View CA: Pacific Press Publishing Association 1929. First edition. Small octavo. 91 1 pp. luridly illustrated from photographs. Publisher's bright pictorial wrappers. Very good and sharp copy."Paperback pamphlets such as The Moloch of Marijuana by Rev.Robert J. Devine 1943 and evangelist Earle Albert Rowell’s Battling The Wolves of Society:The Narcotics Evil 1929 and On the Trail of Marijuana: The Weed of Madness1939 fanned the flames of pot paranoia. So outlandish and over the top were the sensationalistic claims of these “educational†books that “the bureau attacked such apostles of fear". Anslinger wished the FBN to be sole source of publicity and educational materials. A few of the Rowell softcovers were issued by — guess who— Pacific Press Publishing Association a great thorn in the side of anyone trying torationally educate the public on drugs. Pacific Press Publishing Association also issued Plain Facts for Young Women onNarcotics Marijuana Liquor and Tobacco by Dr. Belle Wood Comstock 1938. Pacific Press Publishing Association paperback
