By 1983, the United States had the highest rate of drug abuse of any developed country. In this issue, U.S. News examines the toll this abuse is taking on the United States. "The epidemic is so extensive that gains in one segment of the population tend to be offset by reversals in another. Example: Even though drug use by teenagers is declining, dope is more pervasive than ever among middle-class adults–the people on whom an industrial society depends for leadership and creative energy."
