Description

Newsweek reports that it wasn't just "bad kids." Cheerleaders, football players and preppies in Plano, Texas, were using heroin - and dying. An inside look at a three-year drug war.

Elaborate undercover drug stings had led to dozens of arrests. But some kids there are still using heroin.
