  We are in the midst of the worst drug crisis in American history. What are we going to do about it?Around 100,000 Americans died of a drug overdose last year—nearly double the number who died in Vietnam. More than 1,000,000 have perished since 2000, thanks largely to an explosion of fentanyl and other addictive opioids. But fentanyl, abundant methamphetamine, and other lethal drugs are not the only things that are killing us: our policy is. So far, America has lacked the will to do better. That must change, and this book tells us how.No one is immune, which is why Kevin Sabet has authored this remarkable book. Sabet, dubbed the "the quarterback of the new anti-drug movement" by Salon, has spent most of his life battling the destructive effects of drugs. In One Nation Under the Influence, he asks hard questions and provides clear answers, taking listeners from the streets of San Francisco and New York to the southern border, up to Canada, and across to Europe to show how we can chart a necessary way forward. The solutions are out there, if only we have the will to apply them.

  ALFRED HITCHCOCK 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Alfred Hitchcock was an influential English film director, known as the "Master of Suspense". His career spanned six decades, during which he directed over 50 feature films. Hitchcock began in the film industry as a title card designer, and his directorial debut was in 1925 with The Pleasure Garden. His early thrillers, like The Lodger (1927), The 39 Steps (1935), and The Lady Vanishes (1938) gained him recognition. He moved to Hollywood in 1939, producing successful films such as Rebecca (1940). Hitchcock's style is characterized by suspense, visual storytelling, and recurring themes like mistaken identity and voyeurism. He was also known for his cameo appearances in his films and his TV series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Hitchcock never won an Academy Award for Best Director. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Alfred Hitchcock's father sent him to the local police station with a note when he was five, and the police locked him in a cell for a few minutes, which gave him a lifelong fear of law enforcement. He was so scared of the law that he refused to drive a car in case he got a parking ticket. 
    
  Hitchcock was fascinated by maps and train timetables, and he could even recite all the stops on the Orient Express. Many of his films include rail or tram scenes, and he would whisper London tram route names based on the clapperboard numbers. 
    
   Hitchcock worked as a technical clerk at the Henley Telegraph and Cable Company, and then in the advertising department, which he called his "first step toward cinema". He also enjoyed reading trade papers and watching films by Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, and Buster Keaton.

  Lawfare - Law as a Weapon of War

  In this book, author Orde Kittrie draws on his experiences as a lawfare practitioner, US State Department attorney, and international law scholar in analyzing the theory and practice of lawfare. Kittrie explains how factors including the increased reach of international laws and tribunals and the rise of economic globalization and information technology have fueled lawfare's increasing power and prevalence. The book includes case studies of recent offensive and defensive lawfare by the United States, China, all sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and several non-governmental organizations and individuals. Kittrie asserts that much of the United States' most effective and creative lawfare today is being waged by private sector or other non-governmental attorneys. He analyzes why this is the case, and describes how such attorneys' expertise and experience can contribute even more to US national security. Kittrie also explains that lawfare, deployed more systematically and adeptly by the US government, could likely reduce US and foreign casualties, and save US taxpayer dollars, by supplementing or replacing the use of armed force as a tool for achieving some significant US national security objectives. Understanding this alternative to armed force has never been more important.

  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Serena Williams was born on September 26, 1981, in Saginaw, Michigan, and is the youngest of five daughters. Her parents, Oracene Price and Richard Williams, coached her and her older sister Venus in tennis. 
    
  Serena turned professional in October 1995, and won her first major singles title at the 1999 US Open. She became the second African-American woman to win a Grand Slam singles tournament, after Althea Gibson. 
    
  In 1997, as a relatively unknown player ranked No. 304, Serena defeated both No. 7 Mary Pierce and No. 4 Monica Seles at the Ameritech Cup Chicago. This made her the lowest-ranked player in the Open Era to defeat two top-10 opponents in one tournament. 
    
  Serena achieved her first "Serena Slam" by winning all four major singles titles from the 2002 French Open to the 2003 Australian Open, each time defeating Venus in the final. This accomplishment secured both a career Grand Slam and a non-calendar year Grand Slam for her.
