Will there ever be a simple cure for alcoholism? Probably not. Even so, the next decade or so holds dramatic promise for advances in understanding and effectively treating the disease. Researchers hope eventually to sort out alcoholics according to the neurochemical bases of their addiction and treat them accordingly.

The topic is resonant, for the former President still arouses potent emotions in those whose political consciousness was forged by Viet Nam, Kent State and Watergate. But the Minnesota-born Goodman was only ten years old when Nixon was elected and 16 when he resigned; now living...
