As I understand things,he is also a law prof at some university.

I would 'almost' be willing to have prohibition of smoking,just so that he would lose the 200 grand.

Seems that there are not too many people working for ASH other than JB.

If ASH closed it's doors, who gets the $4.75 million in assets?

JB I quess.
What a nice retirement nest-egg!!!

I was just trying to recall if I've ever heard anyone but Banzwhatever make make a statement on behalf of ASH.

And how many people besides Amanda Stanford(?) of ASH UK make statements for that group?

And that Canadian physician's group (the name escapes me). I recall someone saying that's comprised of only 2 people.

Is it possible this entire movement could fit into one small bar?

Not really, do not forget the big players-ACS,AHA,and ALA.

There are a number of these groups and their leaders are not about to give up their nice salaries.

For instance, the ALA.

http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.alpha<r=A
The ALA has a national hq and 26 state/regional chapters.

The head of the ALA earns $325,000/year.

The heads of 12 of the 26 chapters(46%) earn $100,000 or more per year.

The head of the ALA-IDA/NEV makes a whopping $460,000 per year(26% of total expenses).

The head of the CTFK earns a nice $241,700
per year.

There is alot of Gold in them thar hills.
