the average beat, the acreage for a single ranger is 300,000 acres per ranger.was the beat they had to walk. and it's all full of interesting characters. people aren't necessarily taking the idea of national forests the way pinchot and roosevelt intended which was that it would be land for the little guy. so this is what i'm going to read an idea of what it was like for a new ranger to newly arrive here in the great state of montana and go out and check out his national forest. in a thicket of dark montana woods just downslope from the idaho divide, a town sprang up with one prostitute for every three men and a murder rate higher than that of new york city. carved inside a national forest the village of taft frightened most anyone not used to humanity with all its raw appetites exposed. you could buy the basics, a woman, a man, a horse, a place at a card table, a fat steak for a dollar, a quarter of whisky for a $1.25. a bunk for 25 cents. one nearby shop advertised, quote, shoes, booze, and screws.

o'reilly is at the stands fighting with ranger fan. all the bruins are going over.e all into the stands. going up to grab somebody. about seven or eight rows up. >> you have to worry about a spectator. >> the bruins are at quite a disadvantage with those stakes out there. somebody can get seriously hurt. >> take another look at mike milbury removes the fan's shoes proceeds to feed him with it. after never before finishing higher than ninth place, the mets in 1969 enjoyed a magical summer that saw them reach their first world series. they were heavy underdogs to the powerful baltimore orioles. but new york was up for the challenge. >> the 2-1 pitch. there's a fly ball out to left. the mets are the world champions! gary is being mobbed. look at this scene! >> we must not forget all of the beautiful fans that we had in shea stadium all year long. it's just been a great year and thank god it's over now. >> i thought he was here. >> oh, i just can't believe it! it's been a year of miracles and it's marvelous. >>> coming up -- a wild finish on the gridiron. a bizarre braw

the janitor in the building, the mailman, the forest ranger, we all get the same choices. all the choices are from private insurance. the federal government does not have its own plan. like other employers, the federal government does pay part of our health care, but not all of it. our choices allow us to pick a plan with a higher premium and a lower deductible or a plan with lower premium and a higher deductible. everyone should have these same choices, but they would have to work for a company willing to make a contribution to be personally willing to make that contribution and pay the remaining premium and deductible. no matter how the health care reform bill comes out, there will not be free insurance. everyone will have to pay something. everyone should pay something. and the amount we pay should have a relationship to the choices we make. the insurance costs will only come down if we are encouraged to make the best choices. speaking of -- speaking of choices s there is no reason shopping for health insurance should be any more complicated than purchasing an airline t

scott was a proud army ranger and fought valiantly for his country.on, chairman nelson, senator gramm, representatives of the health committee. i am pleased to be before you to discuss my experiences as a warrior in transition. i hope by sharing these challenges with you that i faced and some of the successes of hand that we can sort of get a collective understanding, and what i would like to focus on really are some common themes that unite a lot of wounded warriors who are returning home. can you hear me ok? although i face many challenges in the two and half years of my recovery since being injured in iraq, first, let me say i would not be here today if not for the dedication and professionalism of our medical service personnel. every breath i take is a testimony to their service. i mean that. i was injured two and a half years ago, and my subsequent medical evacuation and recovery consisted of over 60 surgeries and countless hours of occupational therapy. you name it, i went to just about every service except gynecology. i was an indication at wal

i remember the ford ranger electoriic truck. there was a big protest about that.tions with strong manufacturing have nationalized health care while the u.s. does not. it has been a factor. a lot of the jobs union states has lost and gone to other industrialized nations. a lot of the manufacturing jobs have gone to lower-cost countries like china and mexico. health care is a factor, especially for start up businesses. the has been some involvement on capitol hill by the uaw. is one of the issues that plays a role. it has not been an overarching role. you will give your wish granted on the high mileage electric cars. they're looking at bringing in these smaller, high mileage cars from europe. fiat will bring in the fiat 500. they will build the engine in michigan. they will assemble it in mexico. it is an experiment to see how much demand there is among americans for the smaller, high mileage vehicles that dominate the european markets. the opportunity seems to be to hedge against gas prices. as more people live in cities, they will not have to drive as much as the

he was an army ranger an was described as having the kind of natural leadership anlts that put other officers at ease in difficult situations. he was a swat team trainer known for his enthusiasm for his job. but he was also remembered this week for the joy that family brought him, whether it was trips to mayorers in games or family vacations to mt. ranier. this was a senseless and brutal killing. and it specifically targeted the people who sacrifice each day to keep all of us safe. this terrible crime has not only left the families of the victims shattered, but it has shattered our sense of safety and has left an entire community in disbelief. it was also part of a shockingly violent month for my state's law enforcement community that also included a senseless attack on october 31, which killed seattle police officer timothy brenton and left another officer, brit sweeney, injured. these attacks remind us of the incredible risks their law enforcement sphears take each day. even when doing the most routine aspepghts of their jobs, our law enforcement officers put themselves on the line
