Awad's current troubles with Israeli officialdom began in the spring of 1987, when he sought to renew the residency permit he had been issued in 1967.

But there are many variations. Some supporters would permit the legal sale of marijuana only; Washington Mayor Marion Barry might add cocaine but is dead set against legalizing PCP (angel dust). Economist Friedman would permit the sale of every imaginable brand of upper and downer at the local drugstore. Dershowitz would go so far as to distribute heroin free from...
