The cities are fighting back. Most of them are doing something about drugs,some of it badly,much in panic and all late. But they are moving-because they are scared. And they have every reason to be,for what they face is a real horror. A top New York City official despairs,"Two thirds of our problems come directly from drug abuse,and I see no hope of handling that problem. "New York's grief is no different from any other big town's only the number are larger. Drug abuse in our cities is epidemic,and we haven't even kept count of the victims.
New York drug experts still talk about 100,000 heroin addicts,an estimate they reach by doubling the number registerd with the police,hospitals,and city social agencies. Figuring,as the city's deputy medical examiner does,that the addict population is 200 times the annual toll of overdose deaths,New York has about 150000 junkies.
