Matt Lamkin’s “A Ban On Brain-Boosting Drugs is Not the Answer” first appeared in Chronicle of Higher Education in 2011.

This high-profile case had extensive news coverage, which added to the hysteria of the paralyzed New York City communities. Finally, he was captured and that was not the end of David.

Only when Babbitt revolts against conservative America does his life change, but the question is was it for the better?
