Hi Sarah... Jim and Richard are right of course! Harry Gene Levine, "The Committee of Fifty and the Origins of Alcohol Control," *Journal of Drug Issues* 13:95-116, 1983. Incidentally--and as long as I've got my Levine file open--Levine and Smith (i.e., Harry and David C. Smith, "A Selected Bibliography on Alcohol Control, Particularly before and at Repeal," Social [later, Alcohol] Research Group Working Paper F71, December 1977) say of the CofF: "Perhaps the most comprehensive attempt to examine the totality of the liquor problem, the Committee of Fifty reports truly mark the beginning of a distinctively 'scientific' and administrative approach to the liquor problem in the United States." John J. Rumbarger (*Profits, Power and Prohibition: Alcohol Reform and the Industrializing of America 1800-1930*) discusses the CofF at pp. 89-101. And forgoshsakes don't forget Phil Pauly's wonderful, "The Stuggle for Ignorance About Alcohol: American Physiologists, Wilbur Olin Atwater, and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union," *Bull. Hist. Med.* 764:366-392, 1990. Happy hunting! -- Ron Roizen, Ph.D. 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] [log in to unmask]
