Austin & everyone: There's a useful essay on the emergence of neo-prohibition on AWARE's (a wine industry research and advocacy group) web site. Some of the narrative will leave some of our members a little dubious--it covers huge expanses of history pretty in single bounds--but the essay as a whole has much value, I think, in arraying and describing many of the institutional players in the current alcohol problems arena in the U.S. Its author is someone named Rebecca Murphy Marton and the essay can be found at: http://sunset.backbone.olemiss.edu/~phjuerg/newtemp.html Austin, there is an interesting bibliography, with at least a couple of new items not mentioned in my "neo-" bib at ATHG's web site. You may want to have a look. Ron -- Ron Roizen voice: 510-848-9123 fax: 510-848-9210 home: 510-848-9098 1818 Hearst Ave. Berkeley, CA 94703 U.S.A. [log in to unmask]
