...never since availed." Well, hardly ever. The defense was recognized for the first time in a federal court in 1915. In two later cases-involving a police agent in 1932 who begged an acquaintance for some bootleg liquor and a paid informer in 1958 who led a reformed addict back to drugs and then got him arrested for dealing-the Supreme Court drew a line "between the trap for the unwary innocent and the trap for the unwary criminal...

Blaming its failure directly on the Government, they complain bitterly of many "politically inspired controls." Relegated to jammed clinics, addicts are often processed on a "take-it-or-leave-it basis"; little or no effort is made to provide the supportive counseling or job help that made the original Dole-Nyswander experiments...
