The author has reviewed and reported on those United States publications in which a significant portion touches upon legal matters or upon materials of direct bearing upon legislative policy, administration of justice, or law enforcement. Major reference works for the review period include the second edition of the American Medical Associations' Alcohol and the Impaired DRiver; a pocket supplement to the second edition of Robert L. Donigan's Chemical Tests and the Law; and, the 1973 supplement to R.E. Erwin's et al., Defense of Drunk Driving Cases--Criminal--Civil.
