...researchers at Oregon State University are taking a new approach to assessing drug use that could potentially transform the government's understanding of America's drug problem. In small samples taken from untreated community sewage plants in six major cities, lead researcher Jennifer Field has been identifying and analyzing chemicals the body produces after breaking down substances like marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and heroin. This method, first used by Italian scientists to gauge regional cocaine use, allows researchers to analyze data within hours, tracking drug use, not over a year's time using aggregated national data, but over a few days...

Only a person with the unmatched combination of executive and congressional experience of Hillary Clinton, on top of an entire career dedicated to the resolution of the major domestic issues of our time—medicine, education, poverty—is the whole package...
