he told them he was currently in louisiana at his elderly mother's. obviously the new jersey detectives were eager to interview ates in person, so they flew to louisiana. by the time they arrived, the one-time father-in-law had already hired a lawyer and invoeked his right not to talk. but the detectives did get in a few words with ates' sister brenda that night. she told them that her brother had arrived at their moms in louisiana that tuesday evening, one day before the murder of paul duncsak. >> did you think she was telling the truth? >> i wasn't certain. at that point, it was still very early on in the investigation. >> so the detectives kept looking into the ates' family's possible involvement in the murder. roughly a month after the crime, they obtained wiretaps on various ates phone lines. what they heard sounded to them like a classic cover-up in the works. ed ates tried to make sure his family stayed on script when it came to the tuesday story, his alibi. >> you were there when i got there on tuesday. >> yes, right. >> okay. i've just got to

we have cut back in louisiana. but the reality is we know we have to have the most skilled, productive workers to confine the work of the competition as china and brazil. not just mississippi and louisiana any market is in china, brazil, and countries all over this world. and now many governors, listening to these governors around this table and others that are going to policies like awarding excellent teaching, not just the number of years in the classroom. they're looking at more choice for parents. it should not matter what zip code you grow up in committee should be able to get accreditation. truly providing the tools that kids need to have that upward mobility. in manufacturing, like a lot of these governors, we're bringing manufacturing jobs back, and we're growing not only new companies but old companies. i think that goes back to republican policies -- policies. lower taxes, fair regulatory environment, skilled workers. if we're serious about a manufacturing-based economy, you have to have that supply. let'

louisiana is a u.s. senator until recently had never had a republican majority in either chamber i did not have a history of electing republican governors. i voted for twice. a lot of voters and the fact reregister democrat was a republican nationally. even a voter registration, even though our numbers are increasing in their numbers are tear creasing, were still half the size of the democratic party. they outnumbered two to one even today. so i think what's interesting, let's look at state that a red versus blue, but the states that are changing. louisiana is moving in the right direction. west virginia is one of those states that wants to move in the right direction and certainly a lot of talk about the western states may be becoming more purple, moving kind of towards the middle. i think that the voters -- reagan at the famous thing about the democratic party -- and that leaving the democratic party. i think you've got a lot of voters in louisiana that looked around in a couple things happen. i think

louisiana had mandated only 15 riverboats could be in louisiana so the license was up for grabs. all the others -- and so he was indicted and investigated and indicted for allegedly exporting the money out of the owner of the san francisco 40-niners to get that fifteenth licence. there was robert degree who already owned a riverboat and to keep his license he allegedly was exported and then there was ricky shatner who worked for a player's casino in lake charles who said he was exported for keeping the edwardses meeting edwards and his son steven from harming them at lake charles. anyway, they never really believed it and their testimony proved that to begin with. so the real charge came down at the barlow. they had gotten together years before. is a father built most of the mall of america. the edward j. d. barlow organization. edward jr. his father gave him the san francisco 49ers. so he spent lavished all kinds of money on the 49ers. he is the reason for the salary gap we have in the nfl today. but the nfl also had dialogues that said you are not supposed to be associated with

from the french for the louisiana purchase. it is amazing. he was only 28 at the time and he was governor of the mississippi territory. this is the correspondence that he sent back to thomas jefferson and james madison and other officials to let them know how it was going to louisiana after the changeover. it wasn't always going so smoothly. the thing to think about is that back then and this covers october of 1804 to may of 1805 and they didn't have word-processing or xerox machines but wanted to keep a copy of something they had sent. they had to have a clerk copy it for them and this is the copy that they kept in louisiana of when they sent forward to washington as well as correspondence that were sent to people in louisiana. it was really an interesting time in louisiana because it was quite uncertain. there was a lot of debate and doubt as to whether louisiana was going to stay part of the united states. the french felt they had a claim to it. spanish felt they still have a claim to it. that made it hard for claiborne to e

the history of the french language in louisiana runs deep. it was introduced to this land at the end of the 17th century. then, as europeans immigrated from france, africa and kurri olz came from the west independent ease and the canadians refugees from canada, french was louisiana's language but the state of louisiana hasn't always embraced its heritage language. joseph dunn, director of the council on the development of french in louisiana, says speaking french used to be a crime. >> in 1916 french became sort of illegal to speak in the classrooms and also in the public buildings in the state. in 1921 there was a constitution that reinforced those anti-french laws. >> students caught speaking french were suspended, even expelled. s high school and college students could study french but only as a foreign language. dunn says all that began to change in the late 1960s with the establishment of kodafill and its push to reintroduce french into elementary classrooms. >> i myself was introduced to french through those programs in 1980. >> reporte
