"Once again it was Bill Carter who came to my rescue...First he had assured the Canadian court when he posted my bond that I had a medical problem and that I needed to be cured of my heroin addiction. He made the same case to his contacts in the White House, where Jimmy Carter was president, using all the muscle he could work, talking to one counsel there who was Carter's drug policy man, fortunately charged, at the time, with finding solutions more effective than punishment...Miraculously, his White House contacts instructed Immigration to grant me a visa, and he got permission from the Canadian court for me to fly to the United States. We were allowed to rent a house in Philadelphia, where Meg Patterson would treat me every day for three weeks...And I've always been very grateful to the US Government for allowing me to come to America to get help to come off the stuff."
