The narcs must have been fighting over each month's copy of "High Times," because the Drug Enforcement Administration's in-house library is shelling out for three copies a month of the drug bible (High Times is the only title for which multiple copies are ordered). That's just one of the fun facts found on the DEA's subscription list, which was provided to TSG following a Freedom of Information request. Along with general interest newsweeklies (not to mention industry titles like "Controlled Substances Quarterly"), the DEA also peruses Rolling Stone, Jet, and Ebony. Maxim is nowhere to be found. The DEA library also compiles a monthly list of books and articles added to its Washington, D.C. collection. We've highlighted some of the agency's recent picks, including some strange, literary, or puzzling picks. We're not sure what's weirder: that Bill Parcells piece in the "Harvard Business Review" or the novel "A Samba for Sherlock," which features a serial killer who leaves a violin string entangled in the pubic hair of his female victims.

Speaking of "Planet of the Apes"...
