OxyContin: a prescription for addiction

By Katherine Duncan | Feb. 17, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Joe, a junior, sits silently amongst a boisterous group of friends along Blair Boulevard during 5B lunch on Dec. 22. After shooting paranoid glances up and down the hall, he is confident that the coast is clear and opens his hand, revealing a 10-mg OxyContin prescription pill. His back turned against the passing crowds in the hallway, Joe works quickly, crushing the pill with his driver's license and pushing the powder into a thin line on the cover of his student planner. In a matter of seconds, he snorts the drug through a pen cap and up his nose, brushes any residue onto the floor and leans back into the wall.

Phillis Wheatley was the first noteworthy black female poet of the U.S. In the fight for black freedom, abolitionists often cited her works in order to refute the claim of black intellectual inferiority. Thought to be born near present-day Senegal in about 1753, Wheatley was kidnapped and enslaved in 1761. She was sold in Boston to the Wheatley family, who treated her as kindly as their own two daughters.

It's official: Will Smith can do anything. Quick addendum: Will Smith can do anything,assuming "anything” refers to playing cocky characters in highly entertaining films. Smith has always been good for a snarky line here, a goofy grin there. He doesn't disappoint in his romantic comedy debut, the light and witty "Hitch."
