...Academy in New London, Conn., on the Moscow summit. Instead he talked almost entirely about drugs. The President attempted to drain some political emotion from the subject by calling for a bipartisan commission to study what could be done (ignoring the fact that antidrug programs already enjoy wide bipartisan support in Congress).
