"There is a direct link between these activities and organized crime both North and South [of the Irish border]", says Tom Conlan, security analyst with The Irish Times, who claims the weapons used by the Real IRA to murder the two British soldiers in County Antrim last month were supplied by Dublin drug gangs.

McQueen documents the constant attention given to Sands by the hospital...

But by 1973, calls for stricter penalties had grown too loud to ignore, prompting Albany to enact legislation that created mandatory minimum sentences of 15 years to life for possession of four ounces of narcotics - about the same as a sentence for second-degree murder. The statutes became known as the Rockefeller Drug Laws - a milestone in America's war on drugs and the subject of one of the most abrasive legal tug-of-wars in the nation. The laws almost immediately led to an increase in drug convictions, but no measurable decrease in overall...
