...enforcement expenditures. The crime activity so typical of junkies has declined greatly since the inception of the heroin program. Addicts, by virtue of their addiction, are bound to engage in any sort of behavior, be it healthy or destructive, to obtain their drug of choice. When this drug of choice??heroin in this case—is given to them in controlled doses by the government, the drug-related crime rate drops.

Flustered, I grabbed for something, anything. Melville seemed like a reasonable choice??even if someone hasn’t read Moby Dick, they know it’s supposed to be great, right? Wrong. As much as I had hoped to leave my pretensions in Cambridge, this was not the case—Stephen King made the board...
