Linda Wertheimer talks with Elizabeth Drew about her new book "Whatever It Takes: The Real Struggle for Political Power in America." In her book Drew takes a look at what happened in the 1996 election from the perspective of the fight for control of the Republican party. The fight was waged in part by the Leave Us Alone coalition... whose members ranged from people from the Christian Coalition, the Beer Wholesalers to interest groups seeking reduced taxes. (Station Note: The book is published by Viking)
