"The drug urges them, as the story shows, to murky streets and ill-lit corners, through shabby rooms and in and out of hospitals and jails. It is their jealous lover, and their wrathful god."
Via Google Books, James Mills in a 1965 Life magazine series follows a Greenwich Village couple, who are both addicted to heroin. (The article is also a possible inspiration for a recent Mad Men episode.)
