"Why not slam 'em from the beginning and forget this foolishness?" says Karen Richards, county prosecutor in the Fort Wayne, Ind., area. The Urban League tried to convince her and the Fort Wayne police to try the strategy, but Ms. Richards didn't support it. She draws a distinction between addicts, who she believes should get social support, and dealers, who she believes deserve incarceration. "Drug dealers are drug dealers," she says. "They won't have an epiphany and end up as model citizens."

"The thing is, we're not going to survive through cultural obedience, like they want in China. And we're not going to survive through cultural imposition, like they want in America. If we expect to move forward and avoid extinction, what we will need will be cultural progress- and we will all have to want it."
