$1 million for needles
NEW YORK Financier George Soros said he will donate $1 million to buy
clean hypodermic needles for drug addicts nationwide who risk contracting
AIDS.
Soros told The New York Times in an interview published Sunday that he does
not support legalizing drugs. But he said they were practically impossible
to outlaw, so he proposed trying to reduce the harm that drug users cause
themselves.
