ALARM ADDICTIONS

Bruce Shapiro's article "Alarm Addictions" [May 9--15] neglected to answer 
one question about this country's so-called war on drugs that's always 
rather puzzled me: Why do you suppose Darryl Strawberry is popularly 
considered a junkie scumbag and Robert Downey Jr. a poor helpless victim 
with an illness?
