By Alex FitzpatrickNovember 19, 2015 7:57 AM ESTIt a sunny afternoon in the Pacific Northwest, without a hint of wind. For me, that wonderful news. I ;m sitting in the pilot seat of a Boeing 767 on final approach to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. For the next three mi

This issue is drug addiction, which has ambushed candidates of both parties with its intensity this year.It hit me like a brick wall the first day I campaign here last year, said Jeb Bush, whose daughter ha

They were fluent on the value of drug courts, where addicts can choose a course of treatment rather than punishment. They were united in their belief that addictionas opposed to drug-dealingneeds to be treated rather than punished. Each had a story about the careless pill-pushing of the medica
