WASHINGTON Q In promoting its new drug control strategy,
the Clinton administration is altering the rhetoric
surrounding the drug issue in a possible prelude to
significant changes in policy.

The '' war on drugs' ' is an expression rarely heard
anymore. Instead of talking about locking up crack dealers
or busting drug cartels, President Bill Clinton emphasized
goals like ''giving our children the straight facts'' when
he presented the drug strategy last week. (WP)
