   The Federal Government hopes to keep you ignorant of its grave
   and widespread desecrations of America's laws and its Constitution.
   If the Fed succeeds in delivering its death blow against
   the Christic Institute, then another obstacle will have been
   removed from the path of its totalitarian steam roller which
   was designed to crush our freedom and consequently, our
   children's freedom, once and for all.

   You can block that Federal death blow by helping the Christic
   Institute and your country -- by learning how our freedom is
   being seized from under our TV-mesmerized stares.

BOOKS, VIDEOS, CLASSROOM RESOURCES FROM THE CHRISTIC INSTITUTE

FILE 1 OF 4: RESOURCES ON DRUGS AND COVERT OPERATIONS

The Christic Institute's Resource Center can meet your needs for
educational resources on covert operations, the war on drugs and
other national issues. Our resource catalogue is broken down into
four categories and posted as four separately: Drugs and Covert
Operations, Multi-Media Resources, National Security State and La
Penca Project. Details on how to order are at the end of this file.

     NEW BOOK. _Drug Wars: Corruption, Counter-Insurgency and
     Covert Operations_. With particular attention to corruption in
     drug-producing nations such as Mexico, Peru and Thailand,
     author Jonathan Marshall examines how the overriding U.S.
     preoccupation with the spread of communism in this hemisphere
     has impelled high-level U.S. officials to strike alliances
     with drug traffickers. 1991, hardcover, $14.95

     NEW BOOK. _Pipe Dream Blues: Racism and the War on Drugs_.
     Although African Americans and other people of color comprise
     less than 15 percent of all drug users in the United States,
     the havoc caused by police and gang violence and the loss of
     civil liberties affects their communities the most. This book
     examines the racism inherent in the Bush Administration's
     ``war on drugs''on people of color, women, the poor and the
     Third World. 1991, paperback, $12.00

     NEW BOOK. _Cocaine Politics: Drugs, Armies and the C.I.A. in
     Central America_. This well-researched book documents how
     contra resupply operations and other U.S. covert actions in
     Central America have fostered and sustained the crack
     epidemic. Prof. Peter Dale Scott and Jonathan Marshall show in
     detail how U.S. officials attempted to discredit a Senate
     subcommittee investigation and the Christic Institute's
     _Avirgan v. Hull_ lawsuit, both of which exposed the contra-
     cocaine connection. 1991, hardcover, $24.95

     NEW BOOK. _The Politics of Heroin: C.I.A. Complicity in the
     Global Drug Trade_. In 1972 when the C.I.A. attempted to
     suppress the publication of _The Politics of Heroin in
     Southeast Asia_, the book became a cause celebre. Eighteen
     years later, in the revised and expanded edition of his book,
     Prof. Alfred McCoy reveals the full role of the U.S.
     Government in fueling international heroin and cocaine
     epidemics. 1991, paperback, $19.95

     BOOK. _Deep Cover: The Inside Story of D.E.A. Infighting,
     Incompetence and Subterfuge_. Michael Levine, a 25-year
     veteran of the Drug Enforcement Administration, recounts one
     of the D.E.A.'s most dramatic, ambitious operations--which
     caught the drug kingpins of three countries red-handed--and
     tells why U.S. officials never brought them to justice. The
     result is an explosive expose of why we're losing the war on
     drugs, told in the words of an American who has devoted his
     life to winning it. 1990, paperback, $5.95

     NEW TRADING CARDS. _Drug Wars Trading Cards_. Humorous art and
     text on notorious drug kingpins like Lucky Luciano and the
     well-documented connection between drugs and covert
     operations. Features ``Ollie's Folly,'' ``Dan Quayle's Smoky
     Trail'' and ``Operation Just Because.'' Each deck includes 36
     full-color caricatures and concise fact-filled narratives on
     the reverse side. Perfect as gifts, party favors, stocking
     stuffers. Ideal for high school and college students. $8.95

     NEW. _Guns and Drugs Reader_. A bound collection of news
     articles, speeches and essays which examines the connections
     between covert operations and the drug trade. Edited by
     Prevailing Winds. Ideal as a teaching aid. 1991, paperback,
     $18.00

     AUDIO. _Lines of Deceit: Cocaine and the White House_.
     Documents the ways in which drug smuggling has been used to
     finance secret wars and illegal operations by the C.I.A. and
     its private associates. Examines the foreign and domestic
     dimensions of the ``war on drugs.'' Interviews with John
     Stockwell, Daniel Sheehan, George Bush. 1990, one hour, $9.95
