[0:00] But one man commits suicide. The
[0:02] authorities say they got the ring
[0:03] leader. President Bush begins by taking
[0:06] a tough line on abortion. We'll take a
[0:09] closer look tonight at preparing for
[0:11] retirement. Care for the elderly now and
[0:13] get paid back in
[0:15] kind. And this is no way to spend the
[0:18] winter 50 below and spring 5 months
[0:22] away.

[1:12] now in custody and no law enforcement
[1:14] officer has been hurt. The big worry now
