    I saw part of it over the weekend too. And it was interesting. I was shocked at how long prohibition lasted. I guess I didn't realize that before. I remember my grandfather telling me that people would travel to a local community to buy illegal alcohol. It was (is) an area out in the country in the river bottoms and was considered a dangerous place, especially for "revenuers."

    I saw about half and it was really good. So is the book LAST CALL by the guy who's in the documentary, Okrent (?).

    He invented fantasy baseball!! Maybe.

    He was also featured in Ken Burns' documentary "Baseball."
