Since the DEA raid, many of Nelson's patients have been unable to find doctors. Few physicians are trained in the complexities of pain control, and fewer still want to risk government second-guessing. Some of Nelson's patients have suffered acute narcotic-withdrawal symptoms, as he was unable to wean them gradually. Others, unable to cope with their pain, lost their jobs. They have staged demonstrations and press conferences in downtown Billings and mounted petition drives. As one of the few Montana doctors offering opioid therapy, Nelson was "like the Mother Teresa of medicine," says Jeannie Huntley, a marketing...
...invaded Harpers Ferry, Va., as part of a scheme to free the slaves but was captured and hanged for treason. While Douglass considered Brown a hero and martyr, Lincoln had referred to him as a criminal and madman. Yet now Lincoln was borrowing from Brown by conceiving a similar raid.

"With a victory like that, who needs a defeat?" said Dominique Moïsi, a French strategic expert...
...that he would not "submit passively to an arrest," apparently blames his troubles on the Communists: a spokesman claimed Soviet Communist Party Leader Mikhail Gorbachev had "demanded the head of LaRouche on a platter" prior to the Iceland minisummit. But his real adversaries are closer to home. The Leesburg raid was almost a community effort: residents, wary of the paranoid strangers in town, provided furtive assistance to investigators, taking down auto-license numbers of LaRouche followers and reporting suspicious behavior. LaRouche has "alienated a lot of the local people," said a police officer. "He called two elderly ladies Communists...
