Portrait of a Drug Czar, Without the Blemishes.

The article discusses a symposium and an exhibition organized by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) in 2014 and 2015, respectively, dedicated to Harry J. Anslinger, the former head of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Narcotics. Topics covered include the fact that Anslinger has been criticized for making racist and denigrating remarks, the DEA's decision not to mention those criticisms in the show, and Anslinger's book "The Murderers: The Shocking Story of the Narcotic Gangs."
