Buchanan 6/21 charged that IA's "methamphetamine problem has been worsened" by a U.S. trade policy that increases the flow of goods between the U.S. and Mexico.  After touring a Des Moines halfway house, Buchanan said support for NAFTA is "a defining issue in the race for the White House." 
Buchanan added that both Bush and Al Gore back the trade pact, and that Bush is "a Xerox copy of Clinton-Gore" on trade.  But a spokesman for the WH drug policy office said there is "no empirical evidence" to back Buchanan's charge, maintaining "it's all speculation" (Claflin, Des Moines Register, 6/22).

Under the direction of Arif Mardin, and sporting the same combo that he had been using during his practically incessant touring, this disc is infinitely stronger than his previous non-live effort, In the Beginning (1974).
Buchanan definitely sounds not only in his element throughout this title, but he rises to the occasion, providing some of his most incendiary licks and aggressive instrumental interaction in a studio setting.
Rather than including one or two of his own pieces in an album consisting of primarily cover material, nine of the 11 cuts are, at the very least, co-written by Buchanan.
