WAR ON DRUGS LEADER TO LEAVE WASHINGTON (AP) -- Barry McCaffrey, the military strategist and commander who has directed the nation's war on drugs for nearly five years, plans to leave in early January. He says he is considering teaching offers, including a return to West Point. "I'm enormously proud of what we've done," McCaffrey said yesterday in an interview. "We had exploding rates of adolescent drug use and we've reduced it." His resignation as director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy is effective Jan. 6, two weeks before President Clinton leaves office.
