Jack Blum was the source for alot of the stuff in Peter Dale Scott and Jonathan Marshall's book on the politico/military/economic dimensions of the drug econonomy published by UC Press in the 90's. Think he also was the counsel for Senator Kerry's, (D. MA.)[not D.Nebraska with another "e"!] ad hoc committee on Contra drug running in the late 80's. Also gave a good blurb to a book by Gaeton Fonzi, an investigator to the House Select Committee on Assasinations of Louis Stokes(?) that looked into the killing of MLK, Jr. Michael Pugliese
