The young man had been among his
very first converts to Christ,

7
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:49,240
Beecher remembered,
"always most affectionate

8

the smartest man in the world,

but he wasn't
the dumbest one either.

[The Mills Brothers'

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,510
Just soon as he got
into the bootlegging business,

5

the first thing he bought
was a brand-new Cadillac,

6
00:00:18,860 --> 00:00:21,280
a great big
Cadillac touring car.

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,350
Boy, that was fancy thinking.

00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:26,220
We rode around
through Washington

Never underestimate the need

00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:26,050
for young dopes to defy
the conventional laws.

3
00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:26,960
You want something,

4
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,490
you want them
to brush their teeth,

5
00:00:29,490 --> 00:00:31,360
make it illegal.

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:32,760
Make toothpaste illegal,

7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,000
and they'll be standing
on the roof brushing away.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
It's natural to human beings.

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,470
I think it's a healthy thing.
