Today I was reading an msn article about… something not related to crack. Anyway, at one point the article casually mentioned that the New Republic had gotten a reporter to try crack and write an article about it. MSN then kindly gave me a link.
So I got to read about two paragraphs before finding out that I’d have to register to read the rest. AND, to make matters worse, I wasn’t reading the original article; I was reading a follow-up written several months (possibly years) after the fact.

I’m unclear on the connection between Reaganism and crack. Yeah, crack appeared during or close to the Reagan administration, and the Reagan-era War on Drugs had debatable results, but to say the two (Reaganism and crack) are somehow related is a connection that I don’t really see.
Anyone with the Straight Dope on this article?
