...recruiting ad, although thrilling drama, tell us little about the reality behind the Drug War's propaganda. Two strategies stand out among all of the Drug War's misguided plans. First, America's most strangely-titled bureaucrat, Drug Czar William J. Bennett, has made much of targeting the "casual user" in an attempt to discourage drug use among those the administration views as the more productive members of the U.S. workforce. Second, conventional strategies for eradicating the use of drugs ignore important economic realities...
...Honolulu neighborhood is seedy, the building rundown and the second-story room bleak. When a drug user comes in, drops a dirty needle into a plastic bucket and receives a fresh sterile syringe and needle in exchange, no name is given, no questions are asked.

Jarvis and E.W.'s design director, Michael Grossman, willingly carried out the format revisions. But a more subtle problem was Jarvis' choice of covers, like the one on the very first issue (Feb. 16), which featured the offbeat country singer K.D. Lang. Many media watchers felt that to succeed as a mass magazine, E.W. had to appeal to a broader audience, one perhaps more attracted by covers about Madonna and Dick Tracy...
