...inspired to write this article after reading an article by ESPN’s Pat Forde about Eastern Kentucky guard Zach Ingles. Ten years ago, at the age of 12, Zach informed his mother that he was going to play in the NCAA tournament someday. That night, Cynthia Ingles was killed in a car accident...
Federal authorities are at a loss to explain why prescription-pill abuse pops up in some places and not in others, and why places like central Maine, eastern Kentucky and southwestern Virginia--where OxyContin abuse first emerged as a problem--are awash in drug-related crime.
