In 1930, when Anslinger was named head of the newly formed bureau, one out of every 1,070 Americans was an addict; today, the proportion is one in 4,000. Thanks also to Anslinger's strict enforcement philosophy, addiction in youngsters -once a terrifying trend-has been severely curtailed.

Various women try to cure him with love, first his sister, then his sister-in-law (Sophia Loren), but not even that much sex can help him. He has a fight with his ex-Nazi father (Fredric March), then a reconciliation. Then both men commit suicide...
...tone arm can be attached to owner's present turntable; an adapter enables as many as four people to hook in their stethoscopes, hover over the set like surgeons on a joint operation. Price: $9.95 > For the far-gone addict, there is suburbia's newest blandishment: the Stereo House, a gimmick dreamed up by Builder-Promoter Al Horowitz of Jericho, L.I. Equipped with Harmon-Kardon audio components, the 1½-story living room features a splayed ceiling to disperse stereo sound in all directions (no more searching for the ideal chair to listen from), is separate from...
