One sad rainy morning last winter, I talked to a woman who was addicted to crack cocaine. She was twenty-two, stiletto thin, with eyes as old as tombs. She was living in two rooms in a welfare hotel with her children, who were two, three, and five years of age. Her story was the usual tangle of human woe: early pregnancy, dropping out of school, vanished men, smack and then crack, tricks with johns in parked cars to pay for the dope.
