the anti-saloon was formed only two years earlier by a congregational minister known as howard russell. out of ohio. he recruited a college senior named wayne wheeler. wheeler became the asl counsel, and he was, i call him the karl rove of his day. he is the guy who invented pressure politics. the way, how the tranny was going to squeeze these politicians to force them to vote dry instead of voting wet. they met here in this building in 1895, and began how the asl was going to turn the country dry. one of the things they decided going to do was to go after the state's first. by the states, they got the states to allow local option laws. once there was a local option law in place, that meant that the church allies of asl, and these were evangelical protestant, could use their political influence and force the county to go to dry. and you see that as much across the deep south to this day. and parts of the midwest you still see a lot of dry cannings. that's because of the strong emphasis, strong influence i should say, of the southern baptist convention. >> once enough states had voted t

"60 minutes" will be seen in its entirety. it's been a big day for willis mcgahee, all three of the touchdowns. >> phil: grubb gets on it. and how about this, nine people to stop the run, mcgahee -- oh, boy, all the scores and touchdowns. grubbs is pulling -- >> jim: first down at the raiders defense. and mcgahee held to one yard by scott and others. so the raiders defense must make the play here. oakland with two timeouts. >> phil: for the people just joined us too, jim, the raiders, they have been all over this, they have had many opportunities to be closer or to be leading. but the ravens with

normally, they turn out workout apparel for russell athletic and new balance sold at large u.s. retailers. but what if those stores turn elsewhere? >> it's nothing personal, it's not like these people are heartless, it's just business. the shelf is going to be empty; it cannot be empty. so they will have to make that decision. we don't want them facing that decision. we just want them back online so that that shelf is occupied by these same people. >> suarez: sassine was profiled on the newshour just before the earthquake. we broadcast a report on how the economy here was finally looking up. >> i have to be like a dispatcher-- investors from brazil, from ireland, and from korea coming one after the other. so it's been very hectic, believe me. but it's a good problem to have. >> suarez: and sassine saw better times ahead. now, he scrambles to help his members reopen, and uses his influence to get things done. on this morning, he's helping road crews assigned to demolition duty in the quake rubble who now have sadder duties thrust upon them. >> i'm here to pick up more body bags.

[laughter] once again it was the way the bible does it. parts of the bible that work of the wonderful story tales, stories that tell you the moral lessons in a subtle way. after all it is one of the great needs of all time in the beginning and it tells you the power of colonel lescol storytelling. so that is what dr. percy taught me. so as a journalist i was able to just tell tales. i remember the first day i was on the job and i had the worst of all possible stories you could be assigned to cover. it was the murder of a very small child. i went to carrollton avenue and was there with the police, got all the things and this was the day before blackberrys and e-mails and seÓul phones -- cell phones. i went to the corner dru

two of you are reading "the wall street journal," the it's the write one to russell.i saw a "the new york times" back there, we can live with that. we're going to have a discussion among us and then we'll open the floor to all of you. and tom is going first. >> thank you very much. i'm delighted to be here and i'm glad that we're talking about health care costs now because that's certainly an important part about debt which is the focus of the conversation. i'll be focusing on what factors are in my opinion responsible for the high and the quickly growing health care costs in the united states and then i'll just end briefly with some thoughts about how this fits in with health care reform and i have only two slides. the first slide shows you how much of an outliar the united states is with regard to health care costs. now, you might think that we spend a lot because we're rich but that's not the case at all. what we have here on the vertical axe sis how much the country spends per person on health care and on the horizontal axis we have how rich the country is and if

the question is paired with an supreme court you can say almost three times already since 2004 in russellst time. were there for the fourth and because afterwards we finally won a constitutional right to abs, then the administration both under bush and under obama have said well yes even if you when you're habeas corpus hearing and there's no legal reason for holding you, a judge cannot order the person released into the united states. so people like the uighurs remain in jail despite having one -- one they are tribunals. so you're sitting now with the position of the administration that says even though you have pbs you can't be released in the question you have to ask is what is the good of it if you can be released by the judge. so we are faced with that. a loss that i consider what happened here is if you look at what we were fighting for was that habeas corpus the right to go to record and say what your legal basis for holding me? but we still haven't gotten to the deeper question of do you have to charge someone with a crime before you can hold them? and that is still underlined in

moment and it was a very good precedent created and it seems the court has been cutting back and russell d. myers and the d.c. district and i'm wondering what sort of bad precedent has been created in the monumental breakthroughs and how you envision those being played out and fought back again. >> jonathan, do you want to address that to start? >> sure. the question refers to the supreme court's decision in 2008 where the court definitively ruled that a detainees at guantanamo have a constitutional right to habeas corpus to go to court so it rejected the executive's arguments that they had no right and the effort by congress to take away that right. it's a very important decision but important also because the court just didn't simply reject or affirm that guantanamo detainees had a right to habeas corpus but it rejected the very premise on which guantanamo was based that is that you can deny someone rights simply by moving them or keeping them outside the united states or at least if they were noncitizens and instead left open the possibility that habeas corpus could extend not simply

because of what we just discussed i would say to anybody whether you are in the russell 2,000 company or company number 287, on a daily basis, we were a small business at one point. what you say and do it today, how long has google been around? 12 or 13 years? look how big and powerful they are now. they were not in town then. in a span of ten years a lot can happen. there are a lot of people who could still be in town. if you are not caring about your reputation ten years later you are a big powerful company, you need to know you are living by this in a daily basis because it will bite you at some point. even if it doesn't, if you do these things it is going to make you a more effective government affairs lobbyist. there's always pressure and you always want to say there's pressure to cut a quarter or bend the truth or leave that piece out but i can guarantee you if you are doing these things and you care about this, you are going to be more successful government relations professional and it is not just government relations. we could be having this conversation about any number of p

you know, huee long of louisiana, huee probably more famous than his son, russell.uee long was famous when he was governor and senator saying every person, a king or queen, if you will. when you need 60 votes, every single senator can be the king or the queen, if you will. and, you know, the leader has to bear that in mind. i mean, there's no margin for error whatsoever. you have to have 60 and you got to hold that 60. and it's an additive process. so if you're close, you don't have quite 60, you go into private negotiations and use whatever outside allies you can to persuade this individual lawmaker. you know, what do you want? what can i -- what adjustments can i make in the legislation that will help you vote for this legislation? you want more aid for louisiana? well, by golly, hey, we're going to work that out. nebraska, you want more aid to help for payments of medicaid, we're going to do that. of course, it gets other states upset, and that's an issue now that probably has to be resolved. >> thank you very much.
