The mounting death toll from opioid addiction in our country suggests two big questions what is to be done and who is to blame, that were far from arriving at an answer to the first question a growing movement believes there is a clear answer to the second as Lee Cowan will report in our cover story. It's been two decades since big tobacco agreed to pay billions in compensation to help states pay for treating smoking-related illness.

Now one of the lawyers who brought God case is a new corporate target makers. Open your trial of these cases, they really are. But I'll trousers case (our Sunday morning cover story litigation fight against addiction why the renowned restaurant here is a recipe for success involves more than just changing the menu with maraca will get a firsthand look. Last spring, New York's 11 Madison Park restaurant was named the best in the world. What better time to shut the place down and read that give you any pause when he thought, oh, broke, don't fix it. Maybe it's not the smartest thing from a business point of view, you know but anyway it's kind of that us to head on Sunday morning trying to improve on number one Aaron Moriarty has proof that what's old is new David Potok shop with the head of Microsoft Jim Gaffigan shares the pain of ski vacation sticker shock and more coming up when our Sunday morning podcast continues to blame for this nation's opioid crisis.

If anyone is qualified to point an accusing finger. It may be the man who led the fight against another scourge years ago our cover story as reported by Lee Cowan will bring this industry to the needs right here in this self-described country will bring to back volumes crazy photos in 1994 my mom). She called and said it might be time for you to come home now work laughing for long. We have reached agreement. Tobacco is just four years later, as Mississippi's Atty. Gen. negotiated the largest civil litigation settlement in US history, forcing big tobacco to show out more than $200 billion to help states recoup the costs of treating smoking-related illnesses, 72% of remaining smokers come from lower income communities also wanted something to make the tobacco companies pay to educate consumers about the dangers of cigarette seemly for all you made sure that nearly $2 billion of that tobacco was set aside to fund this public health campaign widely credited with reducing the teen smoking rate was sometimes shocking ad campaigns likely know some 20 years later more has another health crisis on his mind and another corporate target makers Mark Olson was about 30 years, four years before the disease process works too many open doors there. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention opioids killed more than 42,000 people in 2016 the White House Council of economic advisors estimates just in 2015.

The cost associated with the open crisis top $500 billion more. Now in private practice is taking his skills on the road again encouraging cities, counties, even entire states to come together and sue the drugmakers the same way. States coalesced to sue big tobacco tobacco toes toasted smoking did not cause cancer. These companies told us that there is less than 1% chance of getting addicted to these opioids and that there are absolutely proven to be effective for chronic pain. Both of those turn out to be really big loss.

Drugmakers vigorously deny nations but agree there is an opiate addiction problem just blaming them for the entire crisis is in the words of one drug maker stunning oversimplification. They dismiss any comparison to tobacco but there opioid products are approved by the FDA and say many of those who were dying of overdoses are abusing street opioid, not legal prescriptions. There's plenty of all the federal governments at fault for God sake the FDA should never approve some of these drugs states or fault companies or fault individuals or fall doctors or fall. There's plenty of fall we can pointer fingers all day long with all those places to point the finger white just go after the drug companies will you sue the federal government, you know you can't sue all individuals for taking the drugs to see all the doctors in the country would work very well so what I say is if there's 100% fault out there amongst many many players at least go to the people who make billions of dollars on this what we seek by filing the suit is accountability and restitution started as a trickle has turned into a flood of litigation and significantly harmed South Carolina and its citizens.

There are now hundreds city and County lawsuit filed as well as cases brought by at least 15 states so far our lawsuit, including one of the big companies to clean one of North clients. We knew when we file the lawsuit. We want to get them to the table to negotiate until we had some sort of critical mass with other state filing lawsuits. We think if we get enough station there. The drug companies will have no choice but to come to the table and start talking with this because that's my was also running for governor are not looking at this as much as punishing the drug companies. As you are holding them accountable. We believe that 80% of the people who are addicts today 80% of the people we've lost in Ohio started with payments you think it's their fault. I I think a great deal of the fault lies at the feet of the drug companies and you have to go back to the drug companies because they're the ones who misled the physicians. We firmly believe that working with, and we believe that the amount of money that the jury will come back is going to be very, very high do anything to help. The problem probably not University of Kentucky law professor Richard awesomeness is concerned that money may be the driving motive behind all this litigation trial attorney.

She says to make millions off pooling their resources and forcing the drug companies to settle which also makes him wary of the precedent that these kinds of cases Mesa other lawsuits of this nature might be brought against other manufacturers. I saw something recently about we ought to sue big sugar sugar is all sorts of bad things for people.

So I don't see any site if it works for minus. They get something out of it. First trial lawyers are doing pretty well to why stop it may come down to a public relations battle drugmakers don't want to be tied to images of overflowing more, but that's just what's been happening in places like Dayton, Ohio for the County Court, Kim Harshbarger had to build another freezer just to accommodate all the bodies of opiate overdose victims being sent his way ever seen anything like this crisis is a whole new investigation problem. It's different.

He says the size of the is expected. Many are from upper-middle-class family with no history of drug abuse. People like 27-year-old Shawn got hooked on OxyContin in college. I don't think the majority of people who become addicted to heroin go out and say what you try heroin.

That's like the majority start with pills.

His mom Sharon Parsons did note at the time it is the pills became harder and harder to get Sean turned to street opioid like heroin.

He ended up overdosing on Fenton the same drug that killed Prince and Tom Petty saying from the time he first became addicted until the time he died, was about five years. Street fennel is up to 100 times more potent than morphine and illicit opiate law enforcement can't get off the streets fast enough memory County Sheriff Phil Plummer company overdoses were there last year by Shirley Scalia 3637 overdoses, County back here before. It almost doubled from the year before.

One of his deputies. Alterman seen all manner of some patrol. He's never seen an epidemic on this scale.

He knows many theatrics and he tries what he can to get them in the treatment but he can't keep them there. We took 13 different times in treatment and each time he walked out and we told them we want to find out your dead and the next time I contact with.

He was founded never forget it could be your child. Don't think that something happened to you because three of us sitting here never expected to happen same. The consequences were deadly like Sharon Parsons, Paul and Ellen should know lost their 21-year-old son Matt opioid overdose six years ago. He was the person's life may be even bigger after he lost his life may have greater influence on those who need his help and could never have since established that Matthew be sure over educational center with a message is clear. Even if all the opioid pills disappear. The millions who are addicted today will still need help for decades like more leaves the lawsuit against big tobacco those years ago led to fewer people by smoking-related diseases. If he can have the same effect with opioids. He says it will be satisfied for little bit for you because you can stop you have to do something about the problem, especially if you have the talent and you have the connections and you're involved in this process. While why would you stop morning Larry, 20, 1956 TV comedies was the night your show show premiered on NBC during live comedy extravaganza your show of shows started 27-year-old said Caesar aided and abetted by Imogene coca Carl Reiner and Howard 90 minutes 39 Caesar churned out his uniquely branded grueling pace as he told Sunday morning. Years later, such a mixture of laughter (because you noted, 9 o'clock Saturday night, rain or shine.

That's it wanting his command.

The popular so this is memorably creating his own version of the passionate film from here to eternity his writers room included the likes of Mel Brooks and Neil Simon years your show of shows and successor Caesar is our rule Saturday night only to be done in by the broader based appeal.

The Lawrence Welk show said Caesar died in 2014 at the age of 91, but the memory of his band's show of shows lives said Caesar wasn't the only one of his comic troupe to make it past age 90. Just this past Friday we learned of the death of Nanette Debray, who succeeded Imogene coca at Caesars costar on Caesar is our cabaret was 97.

As for Imogene coca.

She died in 2001 at age 90 20 is new is the principle that guides the craftsman Erin Moriarty of 48 hours now tells us about John Darien is on a treasure hunt in New York City you never know. It's like making the discovery first stop century old establishment on the lower East side named happily enough old printshop please are a small hill spend hours digging through piles of 18th and 19th century scenes and lithographs about the charm. The way things are rendered. Darien do with these expensive images turning these long forgotten pictures into 21st-century collectibles argue Clyde IIII is aware that when I wept, so I just love sharing of the stuff bowls, plates, weights sold in his own shops and more than 600 stores around the world.

Here's the display at New York's Bergdorf Goodman painting you have one image that is on first and then behind it is another image with the same precision. Darien selects his patterns, his hand-picked staff of artisans follows his vision to draw a little diagram aware goes on first gluing high-quality prints of the original images to various pieces of glassware takes time to time. Every piece reflects Darien's sense of whimsy. I think it's super funny about human face. And there's the couple clothed in pea pods along with the more traditional images, horses, horses are popular, yes. So what doesn't allow people. John Darien now 55, grew up in Watertown, Massachusetts, getting lost in old books and movies that you and I think that this is what a daily know of the six and a freak because I was the quiet one that made things we do with him getting passionate and really understand what you are doing yet in my mid-20s. My dad had this idea, Lisa milk truck and deliver milk. Somehow he was kind very close to identical I was young man.

He didn't study art for a bit painted and collected patents lots of buttons. This is one of like five suitcases look like something about doing something without these buttons there in the back of my brain and what flickers and Darien's brain could fill rooms and in fact does is inside side-by-side Manhattan stores the first one opened in 1995. This is not what I expected a lot. This is not what I said I love first.

Everything here is handmade just come in and just lock :-) I think I think this looking is great that a $60 paperweight and every object is placed just so I will go in the image that is part of my life.

I live in the stores in a way like my home.

He's not kidding. He lives right above one of his shops.

My dream is that he will not know how to get out like pit and just think it's a cabinet where he turned an old cabinet into the entrance doorway and replace the wall with a wooden structure that is 250 years old. I have this wall and starts for like 16 years and when week I got the space.

It fit perfectly. This is a found peace in the 30s.

In 2016 Darien collected the images he loves most and put them in a book they really like this and he says is just fine if you want to cut it out.

Yes please go ahead and do it. I will get one book themselves. Maybe get another one to cut up when you're suggesting that his eyesight out some of these images laid. I like that. If framing them framing them and hang them in a group and it looks great. John Darien has discovered the beauty of living in the past is that someone else planned by life and I just woke up and of the colors.

My life, I deftly feel lucky I don't really know how all this happened for success. One top restaurant called the throwing out everything including the kitchen sink maraca has the before and after. If you're skeptical that fine dining is an art. Let us take you inside Manhattan's 11 Madison on the preparation of the food to explaining to the restaurant to decor. No detail is too fine.

Everything that we do attract a high level safely serve your coffee. We want to make sure it's a really good coffee. The best it can be. The restaurant was a bustling brass ring when chef Daniel home and business partner will Glendora took charging 2006. Under their stewardship. It became more and more refined and celebrated until last spring.

It was named the number one restaurant in the world. What better time to shut the place down and start all over again in no way was kind of beautiful thing you know it's kind of like the unexpected. Maybe it's not the smartest thing a business point of view, you know closing when you have the most demand but anyway it's kind of that us to over four months. Last summer the dining room was stripped bare in the kitchen God eventually be working in the space of 70 chef so that's kind of like a ballet when everything is in motion. Much of the metal pots and pans cabinets and countertops repurpose by artist Daniel Turner melted all relational appliances into this solid block that now will be the step into the new restaurant disorder. If the idea you have to go through the past to be in the present. It may be new, but this 11 Madison Park is even more in harmony with the historic Metropolitan Life building that towers over it.

While I love what you've done with the place is even more grand than the old restaurant memorialized in that step by the entrance to say soon as you come and it's sort of like, really classic know you. This is such a historic building as the room is the greatest asset and the architecture W in the interior should just highlight that architecture artist Olympia scary's new window are bringing light to the space he's worked with this amazing glassmaker in Zürich. She's made these painted classes that are now going to be above the entrance and painter Rita Ackerman created what looks like a well smudged chalkboard so this painting she actually redrew the painting that was there before and sort of fear is that so don't with the theme were at the new beginning. But of course things actually begin back in chef Daniel Coombs, kitchen things, along with precision. This is because, you know, I've been hearing 11 years and I kind of 11 years. What I want this kitchen to be what we need in this kitchen who is at the top of his game. We were able to build a refrigerator testing made dry docks. One thing that hasn't changed it still a very expensive night. Now around $300 a person about the price of a ticket to a hot Broadway show and responsibility says it doesn't take lightly. Anyone who works through these doors. They maybe waited a long time to come here.

Maybe they saved up for it to come here and they want to have a great experience and and we have the responsibility to hopefully deliver course you can't improve on number one restaurant in the world so why fix it is actually a favorite saying an artist I like very much.

His name is William de Kooning and one of his quotes is I have to change to stay the same and I feel very much that is so true for this restaurant we would stop changing, we would lose who we are just paying a return visit to a young man who goes all out to honor our veterans of World War II, 20-year-old Rishi Sharma has always been into superheroes real time. That's why is a junior in high school.

He made it his mission to meet as many World War II combat veterans as possible so many days of high school to go to an interview you were skipping school to go interview vets.

I started riding my bike to the local senior home.

I interviewed those guys that I started driving. It became a daily undertaking.

Every single when we first met Rishi in 2016. He was driving all over Southern California.

I have a lot of mission interviewing guys like marine tank commander Ernie Isley.

They were going to make a big camp there that night. Rishi talks to the man for hours and gives the recordings to their families.

He says he does it because time is short were losing about 400 World War II vets every day is amazing how much history and knowledge is encased in each one of these individuals and how much is lost when one of them dies without sharing her story. The fact is I wake up everyday to obituaries, so I wanted to interview, and ought to find out that they died.

At this point I should tell you, Rishi doesn't come from a military family. His parents immigrated here from India and yet he cares as much about our greatest generation as any young man I've ever met.

My name is Rishi Sharma. In addition to his in person interviews he was telephoning at least five World War II vets a day just to thank them for their service and sacrifice means a great deal to me that you are willing to endure all the so that I can be here today after the story first aired.

Rishi raised enough money on go fund me to expand his mission across the country traveled by car often sleeps in so far he is interviewed over 850 vets in 40 states. Learning about their stories and their scars. Those that appealed and those that will never who is my brother-based know as long as there are World War II veterans willing to talk.

There will be at least one young man willing to listen to me a lot getting some winter sports.

Just ask our gym again because I'm a great father. I took my family skiing last weekend. Yes, it was expensive.

No, I don't own an oil company. I'd rather not think about how much it cost me. I just hope some of my children don't want to go to college. This time I took my five-year-old skiing for the first time because well I guess I didn't want to like him anymore five euros on dry land are not that pleasant to be around.

Maybe I wanted to see how he behaves on snow and ice wearing boots roughly the size of milk great just say the magic carpet lost some of its magic.

Who knew standing was going to be that hard for him in my five-year-old's defense skiing is insane party even awkwardly waddling to the chairlift. A complete and total wardrobe makeover must occur course will need skis, but you also need special boots for those skis for no apparent reason poles that you just hold onto only different paths can wear any of a pet you own.

If you're getting pantomimes will get a new ski coat you want to be seen skiing in a non-skiing coat embarrassing will also need a helmet and goggles because you know you are skiing, but you might as well look like you're auditioning for the remake of Top Gun skiing was obviously a rich person's idea. Somebody probably looked at a mountain mountains are beautiful. I love the ski down it can someone build a contraption that could carry me up to the top. I don't want to hike right now I'd like to ski. I want to be one with major but I don't want to feel major I want every inch of my body protected from nature to be out there with major but halfway up the mountain. I love if there was a coffee shop.

Skiing is really the only time you will see rich people wait in line and believe me they are not happy about it. Ski resorts actually have to hire someone to encourage people to take their turn. Skiing is kind of a metaphor for being wealthy in America by some twist of fate you get transported to the top and then you comfortably glide surrounded by love truly avoiding small problems along 0750 well, that's not my problem. From time to time we like to catch up with the leaders of some of America's biggest companies this morning, David Potok shop with the head of the high-tech giant welcome to the launch of Windows 95, Microsoft has never been what you call us five is so easy even a talkshow host configured almost 23 years ago to promote its new Windows 95 operating system. The company hired Jay Leno I made an ad during Jennifer and what happens when you like the old Windows and old Windows 90 under CEO Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer's successor Microsoft dominated the PC market and became one of the most valuable companies honor. It's nice to have a business that's growing at 20%. The question is what happens after, but by 2014, when such in the delegate became the third CEO in Microsoft's history iPhone smartphone taking over the world running software from Apple and Google people wondered Microsoft's best days were behind it. His recent book hit refresh medulla writes about his effort to change the company's culture.

My primary instinct was to be would tell the story of change and transformation while going through and when one thing we talk a lot about in the book is empathy and compassion. Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer during their tenure is here had terrific strengths as leaders but I'm not sure compassion would be the word that jumped out about a young Gates or Steve make mistake about that. I think you know you in their own way. I feel that they have a lot of that nobody deep in what they did and what they're doing today. Think about empathy or compassion. Business essential VR in the business of basically meeting unmet unarticulated needs of customers away you going to be able to consistently write if you don't have the deep sense of empathy or being able to see what others are. See such in the Della grew up in India. He moved to the US in 1988 to study computer science college and then 1992 during a visit back home. He ran into a new vendor COBOL and old family friend he'd known since elementary school and he realized she was the one on my life so when I asked her to marry him because nine my best friend. I knew, and such in the Della are both American citizens now but immigration laws. At the time force them to spend the first year and 1/2 of their marriage apart letters and long phone calls.

I think most something is paycheck went to Spence. They were very expensive couple knows all too well the value of empathy. Their son Zane who is 21 now suffers from cerebral palsy to be able to see the world through his eyes and then recognize my responsibility towards him that I think has shaped a lot of who I am today. The new, more inclusive. Microsoft has been opening up its technology to disabled people having honeys product manager Angela Mills is legally blind showed me Microsoft's new seeing AI topic helps or read text recognize objects as oranges And even identify people 49-year-old man with brown hair looking at why tall and handsome Microsoft app is running on Apple iPhone, that sentence would been on the Della came along a bunch of passionate people came together and said what can we do with this amazing breakthrough is having yeah we should build as Microsoft that can uniquely help empower people kinder and gentler seems to be working since the Della became CEO. The company's stock has more than doubled in for the first time in a long time. People are calling Microsoft innovative writes about how to put this on Microsoft Collins is a prime example.

It's an augmented reality headset. It superimposes graphics on the world around you. Go ahead and just look at a browser, select and write up about your expert recently, Microsoft has been in the news for more than its new technology. I'm here today to announce that the program known as Dr. that was effectuated under the Obama administration is being rescinded.

Della says he's had good conversations with Pres. Trump will start with a wonderful great genius from Microsoft who has done one hell of a job, but he has forcefully denounced the administration's immigration policies. He's even promised to provide lawyers for any of the so-called dreamers at Microsoft were now threatened with deportation for this immigrant and unlikely CEO. That's more than just a business decision. It's personal.

I always say that I'm a product of two amazingly unique American things.

One is American technology reaching me where I was growing up and making it possible for me to dream and the enlightened American immigration policy allowing me to come and live the dream.

And so that's what I think makes America and American companies unique. I'm Jane Pauley. Thank you for listening and please join us again next Sunday morning progress and crazy to its final season is the point is we people in the best way to protect people final season Millstream exclusively on
