I have see Ethan Nadelmann speak several times, and I am excited to see
him again. He has a wonderful "least harm" approach to solving U.S.
drug problems. He is a Harvard PHD, taught at Princeton, and is an
excellent speaker. I highly recommend you attend tonight's forum!

EAU CLAIRE - Ethan Nadelmann, widely regarded as the outstanding
proponent of drug policy reform in the United States and abroad, will
speak Tuesday, Nov. 30, at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The
Forum will present his address, titled "Building a Political Movement to
End the War on Drugs," at 7:30 p.m. in Zorn Arena.
Described by Rolling Stone magazine as "The point man for
drug-policy-reform efforts," Nadelmann is the author of "Cops Across
Borders: The Internationalization of U.S. Criminal Law Enforcement"
(1993), and a highly regarded expert on the international aspects of
crime and law enforcement.
In 1994, Nadelmann founded the Lindesmith Center, a leading drug policy
institute created with the philanthropic support of George Soros. In
2000, the center merged with another organization to form the Drug
Policy Alliance, which advocates for drug policies grounded in science,
compassion, health and human rights. Nadelmann serves as its executive
director.
Nadelmann's writings on drug policy have appeared in numerous scholarly
and mainstream journals and publications, including Science, Rolling
Stone, National Review, Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, The Public
Interest, Daedalus and American Heritage. He also co-edited the book
"Psychoactive Drugs and Harm Reduction: From Faith to Science" (1993).
His critiques of U.S. drug control policies and recommendations
regarding harm reduction strategies and other alternatives to punitive
drug prohibition have attracted international attention and played a
decisive role in stimulating the growing debate over drug policy
worldwide. He has spoken directly to diverse audiences throughout the
world and appeared on scores of radio and TV programs, including ABC's
"Nightline"; NBC's "Today" and "The NBC Nightly News"; CBS's "48 Hours"
and "The CBS Morning News"; CNN's "Larry King Live" and "Crossfire"; and
public television's "Firing Line" and "The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour."
Ethan Nadelmann received his law degree, as well as his bachelor's and
doctoral degrees in political science, from Harvard University and a
master's degree in international relations from the London School of
Economics. From 1987 to 1994 he served as an assistant professor of
politics and public affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and
International Affairs at Princeton University.
