Turkey's decision to legalize poppy crops represents the worst setback yet in what has been an effective Nixon Administration crusade against the worldwide drug trade. Before Turkey originally agreed to halt its planting in return for a threeyear, $35 million aid program from the U.S., its annual crops followed a trail that led through the processing labs of Marseille ("the French connection") to the U.S. Turkish-grown heroin accounted for fully 80% of the total U.S. supply...
