[0:02] A deadly combination, heat and humidity.
[0:06] As Americans look for relief, water
[0:08] supplies in many parts of the country
[0:10] are evaporating. The government does a
[0:13] U-turn on a gasoline additive that was
[0:16] supposed to help the environment. And
[0:18] we'll take you to a dark corner of the
[0:20] world to meet the children the world
[0:23] forgot.
[0:28] This is the CBS Evening News with Dan
[0:32] Rather.
[0:34] >> Good evening. Dan is off tonight. I'm
[0:35] John Roberts. And the heat goes on. No
[0:38] real break today in the sweltering,
[0:40] soggy heat waves smothering the eastern
[0:43] half of the United States. Scorching
[0:45] temperatures and high humidity have been
[0:47] a deadly combination for more than 30
[0:49] people. And there is no relief on the
[0:52] horizon. On tonight's CBS Weather Watch,
[0:54] Jim Axarrod reports on how Americans are
[0:57] trying to cope with weather that kills.
[1:01] >> Hard to tell from looking at her, but
[1:03] this woman is one of the lucky ones in
[1:04] St. Louis.
[1:05] >> Now, you cooling off, Annie?
[1:07] >> Overcome by the heat, she got plenty of
[1:09] help.
[1:10] >> This is definitely heat related. So,
[1:11] we've tried to cool her off. I'm going
[1:13] to start IV on her, get some fluids
[1:14] going on her, and get her to the
[1:16] hospital.
[1:17] >> In St. Louis, it seems like even the
[1:19] arch is sweating. 12 straight days in
[1:22] the '9s and counting. The death toll is
[1:25] now at 70.
[1:26] >> One temperature was as high as 114° F
[1:29] and the others uh are at least 104° F
[1:32] that we have decided were heat related
[1:34] deaths.
[1:36] >> Even with a slight dip in the
[1:37] temperature today, Interstate 44 is no
[1:40] place to be. The heat is tough on the
[1:42] road workers and even tougher on the
[1:44] roads.
[1:45] >> It'll actually hump up and actually the
[1:47] concrete will completely pop out. The
[1:49] concrete pops up.
[1:51] >> Yes.
[1:51] >> Like a foot.
[1:53] >> Uh, it just really depends. Sometimes
[1:54] it'll completely blow out if it has got
[1:56] nowhere else to go. It'll blow out as if
[1:58] there's explosives underneath.
[2:00] >> At 114.
[2:01] >> In Kansas City, the heat index was 100
[2:04] at 8:00 a.m. The gardens are baking, the
[2:06] gardeners are sweating,
[2:08] >> and football practice is starting early.
[2:11] >> Try to beat the heat a little bit, but
[2:12] it ain't working real.
[2:14] >> Across the country, it's an upside down
[2:16] world of weather. Dallas, usually
[2:18] scorching for months by now, just issued
[2:21] its first heat advisory. While in
[2:23] Buffalo, 200 maple trees have burned to
[2:26] death. But it's the Midwest where the
[2:28] heat continues to be at its deadliest.
[2:31] Nationally, 33 people are now known dead
[2:34] from the heat in the last week. All but
[2:36] two were from Ohio, Illinois, or
[2:38] Missouri. Jim Axelrod, CBS News, St.
[2:41] Louis. Big wildfires continue to rage
[2:44] tonight in four bone dry western states
[2:47] with the biggest burning in Montana.
[2:49] Aircraft and hundreds of firefighters
[2:51] are battling that one. It has already
[2:53] destroyed 33,000 acres of grassland near
[2:56] the ranching community of Muscle Shell,
[2:58] Montana. With each rainless day the heat
[3:01] wave drags on, drought conditions in
[3:03] many states are only worsening. The
[3:05] darker red on this climate map, the
[3:07] worse the problem. And you can clearly
[3:09] see that the Middle Atlantic states have
[3:12] the worst of all. Water for lawns is one
[3:15] thing, but now drinking water is
[3:16] becoming a worry. As CBS's Elizabeth
[3:19] Kaledan reports,
[3:21] >> the once lush green lawns surrounding
[3:24] some of the nation's most famous
[3:25] monuments are turning browner by the
[3:27] day. The most visible sign that the long
[3:30] spell of dry skies and scorching
[3:32] temperatures is getting serious. This is
[3:35] probably uh one of the uh the top three
[3:38] droughts that we've had since the early
[3:40] part of the century.
[3:41] >> A large area is affected. The driest
[3:44] spots are Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
[3:46] and Pennsylvania, and reservoirs
[3:49] throughout the Northeast are running
[3:50] low.
[3:51] >> This grass is pretty much bone dry.
[3:54] >> It It's very dry. It's gone dormant. The
[3:56] ground is like concrete.
[3:57] >> Officials in Rockland County, New York,
[3:59] just north of New York City, are facing
[4:01] a crisis. for sure. Last time we had a
[4:03] good rainfall was in March.
[4:05] >> Lawn watering and car washing have been
[4:07] banned because this community relies on
[4:10] groundwater alone and wells fed by the
[4:13] local river are running dry. Normally at
[4:16] this time of year, the Ramapo River
[4:18] would be gushing over these rocks. But
[4:20] nearly 4 months without significant rain
[4:23] means this river has become nothing more
[4:26] than a stream.
[4:27] >> The river is down to 2 or three million
[4:28] gallons a day. And uh in other years in
[4:32] the summertime it would run 10 to 20
[4:34] million gallons a day and in the middle
[4:36] of a heavy rain in the spring it may be
[4:39] 250 million gallons a day.
[4:41] >> Meteorologists predict the next 5 to 10
[4:43] days will bring more showers and
[4:45] thunderstorms. But ironically they add
[4:47] the only thing that can write this wrong
[4:49] is another potential natural disaster. A
[4:52] tropical storm or the remnants of a
[4:55] hurricane. Elizabeth Kaledan, CBS News,
[4:57] Rockland County, New York. Some stubborn
[5:00] side effects or some side effects of the
[5:02] stubborn drought. Mosquitoes, which need
[5:04] rain to breed, are dwindling in number
[5:06] now, but the dry heat is driving
[5:08] carpenter ants into the cooler indoors
[5:10] of people's homes. And a Halloween
[5:12] alert. Because of the drought, expect
[5:14] shrunken pumpkins this fall. Now, about
[5:17] another environmental issue. This one
[5:19] controlled by man, not nature. As CBS
[5:22] Sandra Hughes reports, the government
[5:23] has now decided that a gasoline additive
[5:26] designed to protect the environment may
[5:28] be doing more harm than good.
[5:31] >> Today, the government admitted its
[5:33] attempts to clear the air in smog filled
[5:35] urban areas like Los Angeles may have
[5:37] backfired. The fuel additive MTBE that
[5:41] worked so well to reduce smog levels
[5:43] actually ended up polluting the
[5:45] groundwater supply. Now, the
[5:47] Environmental Protection Agency is
[5:49] calling for a substantial reduction in
[5:51] the use of MTBE,
[5:53] >> but we did find between five and 10% of
[5:56] the water supplies and areas that have
[5:57] been sampled showing some detection of
[6:00] MTBE in the water supply.
[6:02] >> It contaminated more than half the Santa
[6:04] Monica water supply.
[6:06] >> It's a little bit late for Santa Monica.
[6:08] We've been enduring this nightmare now
[6:10] for going on four years. Once MTBE is
[6:13] released into the ground through small
[6:15] cracks in gas station or oil company
[6:17] pipes, it's so soluble that it's quickly
[6:19] absorbed into the groundwater supply. 16
[6:22] states nationwide use the fuel additive.
[6:25] And one environmental group estimates it
[6:27] has contaminated 100,000 water sites. In
[6:31] New York, Mark Feldman actually had MTBE
[6:33] leaking into his home.
[6:35] >> I would start picking up this uh
[6:38] gasoline type odor right outside the
[6:40] front door of my house. Producers warned
[6:42] to make fuel clean without MTBE,
[6:45] gasoline will cost more. We will be
[6:48] forced to rely on imports. We'll be
[6:50] forced to rely on physical changes to
[6:52] refineries and distribution systems.
[6:54] This has only one result, higher
[6:56] gasoline prices at the pump. Here in
[6:58] California, MTBE is already being phased
[7:02] out of gasoline. Many see today's EPA
[7:05] announcement as the first step toward a
[7:07] nationwide ban. Sandra Hughes, CBS News,
[7:10] Los Angeles.
[7:12] >> Possible disaster was averted today
[7:14] after a small cruise ship ran ground on
[7:16] a rock and began to take on water in
[7:18] Alaska's coastal inland passage. Coast
[7:21] Guard units and other ships rushed to
[7:23] the scene and rescued all 94 passengers
[7:25] on board the Spirit of 98. Helicopters
[7:28] dropped pumps to help crewmen control
[7:30] the flooding. The tourist ship was bound
[7:32] from Anchorage to Juno. The shuttle
[7:34] Columbia crew is hoping for a smooth
[7:36] return to Earth late tonight in Florida.
[7:38] With astronauts Eileen Collins, the
[7:40] first woman mission commander, Colombia
[7:42] is to make only the 12th nighttime
[7:44] shuttle landing. Still ahead on
[7:46] tonight's CBS Evening News, new
[7:48] information tonight about the alleged
[7:50] Yusede serial killer. Europeans rebel
[7:53] against genetically modified food and a
[7:56] lost generation and the woman who's
[7:58] trying to save them.
[8:03] If you wear dentures, imagine how
[8:05] nervous teaching teenagers could make
[8:07] you feel. What if your dentures slipped?
[8:09] But thanks to the all day hold of Super
[8:11] Polygrip, those days are over. I think
[8:14] that says a lot about the power of
[8:15] Polygrip.
[8:18] >> Spray and Wash Advanced Stain Care
[8:19] penetrates faster than shout and powers
[8:22] out those dirty sweat stains. So you can
[8:25] >> let them go, let them play.
[8:29] Let them go with spray and wash.
[8:32] >> Here they come. Surprise.
[8:36] >> I made your old favorite pepperoni.
[8:39] >> I can't eat that now.
[8:40] >> This can't be Charlie. I didn't take my
[8:42] pepsin. I got to wait. Then we all
[8:46] >> take my tag. You could eat now.
[8:49] >> Hey, Tagamit has a better way to avoid
[8:51] heartburn. Not before, not after. Now.
[8:54] You can take Tagamut right when you're
[8:56] going to eat and still prevent
[8:57] heartburn. Same old chunk.
[8:59] >> With Tagamit, you can eat like a kid
[9:01] again.
[9:03] >> Out here, am I supposed to say, "Slow
[9:05] down. I'm constipated." I don't think
[9:08] so. So, I rely on doctor recommended
[9:10] Metamucil. Works with my body gently,
[9:13] which is important to a sensitive guy
[9:16] like myself.
[9:27] Next time, call a Rotorooer plumber.
[9:29] When we make an appointment, we keep it.
[9:34] >> A motel handyman in California has begun
[9:36] to talk about his alleged life as a
[9:39] serial killer. 37year-old Carrie Stainer
[9:41] is quoted as saying he was unable to
[9:44] resist the urge to kill four women
[9:46] visitors to Yuseite National Park. CBS's
[9:49] John Blackstone is covering the case.
[9:52] Around Yusede National Park, a
[9:54] frightening picture is now emerging of a
[9:56] charming man who for years contemplated
[9:59] the brutal murder of women and then it's
[10:02] alleged finally began to act. In
[10:04] communities near the park, Carrie
[10:06] Stainer was known as a nice guy. But in
[10:09] a jail house interview, he told a
[10:10] reporter he had fantasized about torture
[10:13] and killing for 30 years. It is a trait
[10:16] familiar to serial killers, says
[10:18] criminologist Mike Rustigan.
[10:20] >> The rage was deep. It was intense, but
[10:23] he was able to fool a lot of people.
[10:25] >> At the Cedar Lodge Motel, where he lived
[10:27] and worked, Stainer fooled many,
[10:29] including FBI investigators and news
[10:32] reporters,
[10:32] >> right? But he was very nice. He was very
[10:34] polite, very sweet. He was very He's
[10:37] very good-looking.
[10:38] >> Radio reporter Mary Ellen Gist was one
[10:40] of many who stayed at the motel during
[10:42] the search for three missing women this
[10:44] spring. It now appears that Stainer knew
[10:47] well that the three had been brutally
[10:49] murdered. When he met Gist in the Motel
[10:52] Jacuzzi one night,
[10:53] >> if you'd met him at a party, you'd think
[10:54] he was the most nice, normal guy, but
[10:56] something about that and how much he
[10:58] wanted to talk about his brother was
[11:00] strange to me.
[11:01] >> Stainer's brother puts an unusual twist
[11:03] on this story. In 1980, Steven Stainer
[11:06] became famous as the victim of a
[11:07] high-profile crime. He escaped from a
[11:10] child molester who'd held him captive
[11:12] for 7 years. His story became a TV
[11:15] movie. By confessing now, says
[11:17] criminologist Rustigan. Carrie Stainer
[11:20] may be trying to get the kind of
[11:21] attention once given to his brother.
[11:23] >> I think we're looking at a a a nobody,
[11:26] so to speak, who uh has become a a a
[11:29] somebody.
[11:30] >> In his jail house confession, Stainer
[11:32] showed some regret, but little emotion,
[11:34] telling the reporter, "I wish I could
[11:36] have controlled myself." John
[11:38] Blackstone, CBS News, San Francisco. The
[11:40] Justice Department has changed its
[11:42] position about John Hinckley Jr., the
[11:44] man who shot President Reagan back in
[11:46] 1981. A spokesman said today the
[11:48] department will no longer try to block
[11:50] Hinckley from taking supervised day
[11:52] trips from a mental hospital. A federal
[11:54] appeals panel approved the trips and the
[11:56] Justice Department has now decided not
[11:58] to appeal the decision to the Supreme
[12:00] Court. Coming up next on the CBS Evening
[12:03] News, the battle over genetically
[12:05] modified food in the fields and in the
[12:08] stores.
[12:21] When dentures dream, they see the
[12:24] perfect denture cleanser. One with a
[12:27] stain fighting power of effort and the
[12:29] freshening power of Listerine. Well,
[12:32] little friend, dream no more. It's
[12:35] really here. It's called effort and plus
[12:38] and it's the only denture cleanser that
[12:41] could make your dream come true. Effort
[12:44] and clean and Listerine fresh. That's
[12:47] effort plus.
[12:49] Getting those urban cowboys on horses
[12:52] was trying enough. And you throw in some
[12:54] serious chili, we're talking major
[12:55] heartburn. And we were way out there and
[12:58] this cowboy, he pulls a Zantac 75 out of
[13:01] a saddle bag. I said, "What are you, a
[13:03] Zantac salesman?" He said, "No, I'm
[13:06] doctor."
[13:07] >> The medicine in Zantek 75 is the number
[13:09] one doctor prescribed acid reducer. It
[13:11] relieves even your toughest heartburn.
[13:13] Controlling acid for up to 12 hours.
[13:15] >> Hats off to you, doc.
[13:16] >> Zantax 75 for tough heartburn. Doctors
[13:19] know.
[13:31] Ask your doctor about Viagra.
[13:35] Yoohoo! Does your daily shower cleaner
[13:37] disinfect?
[13:39] Oo, guess that's a no. Get Lysol Daily
[13:42] Shower Cleaner. The only one that
[13:44] disinfects. Lysol Daily Shower Cleaner
[13:46] helps protect. You have our word on it.
[13:50] >> My business runs on long hours and a
[13:52] leave.
[13:55] >> Look, I live by contractor's deadlines.
[13:57] I got to keep working to get the job
[13:59] done. So when I'm in real pain, I can't
[14:01] settle for those pain relievers that
[14:02] quit too soon. Hey, I tried them and a
[14:05] few hours later, I was right back in
[14:07] pain. Then I found a leave. Just two al
[14:10] leave are strong enough to work all day.
[14:12] I used to need a Tylenol to do that.
[14:15] There's a tool for every job for tough
[14:17] pain. It's a leave.
[14:21] >> The US Food and Drug Administration has
[14:23] approved a controversial new drug to
[14:25] flight fight the flu. It's called
[14:27] Relenza. Manufacturer Glaco Welcome says
[14:30] inhaling it can inhibit the flu virus
[14:32] from spreading in the lungs and reduce
[14:34] the duration of flu symptoms. In an
[14:36] unusual move, the FDA approved the drug
[14:38] against the recommendation of an
[14:40] advisory panel which said Renza produced
[14:42] little or no benefit. In an Eye in
[14:45] America series last week, CBS reported
[14:47] on genetically modified corn and other
[14:50] foods that have quietly entered the US
[14:52] marketplace without any formal notice to
[14:54] the consumer. Tonight, Tom Fenton
[14:56] reports. It's the same story, but a
[14:58] different reaction in Britain, where
[15:00] genetically modified food has set off a
[15:03] consumer revolt.
[15:06] You could never accuse the British of
[15:07] being gourmet, but if there's one thing
[15:09] they hate, it's having someone mess with
[15:12] their food.
[15:13] >> I think that we were meant to eat food
[15:14] the way nature intended it to be. So,
[15:17] there was a public outcry when the
[15:19] British discovered what many Americans
[15:21] are just beginning to realize, that some
[15:23] of the food they eat has been
[15:24] genetically modified. The discovery
[15:27] followed a controversial British
[15:29] experiment that suggested rats fed with
[15:31] genetically modified potatoes developed
[15:34] abnormalities.
[15:35] In America, genetic engineering may be
[15:38] seen as progress, but in Britain, it's
[15:40] considered sinister. Widespread public
[15:43] resistance has led to scenes like this.
[15:45] protesters destroying experimental
[15:47] crops.
[15:48] >> We're taking action on behalf of the
[15:50] public because the government isn't
[15:52] listening.
[15:53] >> It's easy to create food scares in
[15:55] Britain because there have been so many
[15:56] of them.
[15:57] >> Like m cow disease, isn't it? They want
[15:59] to shove it on us before they really
[16:01] know enough about the subject.
[16:03] >> Med cow disease was the most serious.
[16:05] People died and cows were slaughtered
[16:08] despite initial assurances from the
[16:10] government that there was no problem.
[16:13] Now, the government and industry are
[16:15] trying to explain the benefits of
[16:16] genetic modification, showing how
[16:19] science is attempting to increase crop
[16:21] yields, but the public isn't buying it.
[16:24] Supermarkets are emptying their shelves
[16:26] of GM foods. A growing number of
[16:28] European countries are imposing labeling
[16:30] requirements and in some cases, outright
[16:33] bans on genetically modified foods from
[16:35] America. Millions of Europeans are
[16:38] demonstrating the power of consumer
[16:40] choice. They're standing up to their
[16:41] governments in the food industry and
[16:43] saying, "No, we won't buy GM foods until
[16:46] we're satisfied they're safe." Tom
[16:48] Fenton, CBS News, London. Major League
[16:52] Baseball umpires reversed themselves
[16:54] today and gave up their plan to resign
[16:56] on mass in September. The Associated
[16:58] Press reports all of the umpires have
[17:00] now withdrawn their resignations, but
[17:02] about 25 may lose their jobs anyway. The
[17:05] American and National Leagues reportedly
[17:07] decided to accept their resignations and
[17:09] have already hired replacements.

[18:02] >> Hey, bacon.
[18:03] >> And cheese. Say, what if somebody

[18:26] >> We thought of them. We gave it a more
[18:28] powerful V8 than any top selling Ford or
[18:31] Dodge pickup.
[18:33] We thought of them when we gave it a
[18:35] bigger extended cab than Ford F-150 or
[18:38] Dodge Ram.
[18:40] Maybe that's why Motor Trend thought of
[18:42] us.

[19:24] The United States and Russia have agreed
[19:26] to begin a new round of negotiations on
[19:28] reducing nuclear arms next month in
[19:31] Moscow. The agreement was announced in
[19:32] Washington by Vice President Gore and
[19:35] Russia's new Prime Minister Sergey
[19:36] Stashen. Their talks were aimed at
[19:39] smoothing US-Russian relations following
[19:41] an angry rift over the NATO bombing of
[19:43] Yugoslavia. It's hard to forget the
[19:46] pictures of neglected orphans that
[19:47] emerged a few years ago with the
[19:49] collapse of communism in Romania. A few
[19:52] were rescued and adopted in the West,
[19:54] but after the revolution, most were left
[19:56] to fend for themselves. CBS's Mark
[19:58] Phillips, on assignment in Bucharest,
[20:01] ventured into the dark world of the
[20:03] street orphans of Romania. Hanging
[20:06] around the street corners of the
[20:07] Romanian capital of Bucharest are some
[20:10] kids you may have met before, a long
[20:12] time ago when they were young, but no
[20:15] less desperate. when they were
[20:17] discovered by the outside world as the
[20:19] rejected of Romanian society during the
[20:22] convulsions of its anti-communist
[20:24] revolution, abandoned by parents too
[20:26] miserable to care for them themselves,
[20:29] living in conditions sometimes too
[20:31] terrible to watch. The world took pity
[20:34] on them then. But then the world moved
[20:36] on.
[20:38] But the kids, those who survived, are
[20:40] still there in their late teens and
[20:43] early 20s now, living in the streets or
[20:46] worse, living beneath the streets, in
[20:48] the sewer and steam tunnels of
[20:50] Bucharest. It's estimated there are
[20:53] 4,000 of them, most addicted to the glue
[20:56] sniffing that alleviates hunger. Never.
[20:58] Neverland was never like this. the fact
[21:01] that they never grew up in a loving
[21:02] home, no matter how poor. They just were
[21:05] put out in the street and they stood
[21:08] there and said, "Well, what do we do
[21:09] now?"
[21:10] >> Susan Booth is an American from
[21:12] Connecticut who has adopted the kids'
[21:14] cause. A cause that becomes more
[21:16] desperate all the time because the
[21:19] children are having children of their
[21:21] own.
[21:22] >> It's warm down here, guys. She's been
[21:25] delving to the depths of the world of
[21:27] the Romanian street kids, working along
[21:29] with Irishman Steven Doyle, who shares
[21:31] her passion for these kids living at the
[21:34] bottom of the human food chain.
[21:36] >> She's one of the gang leaders, one of
[21:37] the ring leaders,
[21:38] >> the big mother.
[21:40] >> Some have formed a loose social
[21:41] structure with leaders and providers.
[21:45] Others have formed extended families,
[21:47] growing families. This girl, still in
[21:50] her teens, has had four children, two
[21:52] under two years old. One she's already
[21:55] sold. They live in an abandoned
[21:58] container and survive just.
[22:01] >> The child was half frozen because it was
[22:04] lying in in water and, you know,
[22:06] excrement and whatever.
[22:08] >> And now she's had another child.
[22:12] They have children because they have no
[22:14] access to birth control or because they
[22:17] don't even know about it. Or they have
[22:19] children to give purpose to otherwise
[22:21] purposeless lives. Lily is due in a few
[22:24] weeks.
[22:25] >> Is this a baby that you wanted to have?
[22:28] >> Yeah, I want to have.
[22:29] >> You want to have the baby?
[22:31] >> Why? You You're living in a sewer. You
[22:34] have You've been here for 2 and 1/2
[22:35] years, but you want to have the baby.
[22:37] >> I like children. Look in just about any
[22:40] junkyard in Bucharest and you'll find
[22:43] them. There's
[22:43] >> no place for a kid to get TB.
[22:46] >> Look in just about any public place and
[22:49] you'll find them. How any of them
[22:51] survive given where they live and what
[22:53] they eat seems to defy medical science.
[22:56] >> You eat every day?
[22:57] >> No.
[22:58] >> You don't eat every day?
[22:59] >> No. No. Every day.
[23:01] >> How often do you eat?
[23:04] >> I uh eat last night.
[23:06] >> And your baby's due in 3 weeks? Yeah.
[23:09] >> Is that enough food for a mother about
[23:11] to have a baby?
[23:13] >> She's not enough.
[23:14] >> Not enough. No.
[23:16] >> It's a society of children who have
[23:18] never really had a childhood, but who at
[23:20] the same time have never really grown
[23:21] up. A society of children who have never
[23:23] really had parents who are now becoming
[23:25] parents themselves. This wheel of
[23:28] despair is taking one more turn.
[23:32] For the wretched street children of
[23:34] Romania, two dedicated souls are trying
[23:37] to bring a little hope into a world
[23:39] where there is none.
[23:41] >> On assignment in Bucharest, I'm Mark
[23:43] Phillips.
[23:46] >> Coming up next, politics in America. Why
[23:49] this man took his New York Senate
[23:51] campaign to Arkansas.
[23:53] >> Oh my goodness, this is great. I'm going
[23:54] to wear this suitable for today.
[23:55] >> Yeah. And in Arkansas,
[23:57] >> have you tried these yet? Specialized
[24:00] blends from One a Day. Herbs, vitamins,
[24:02] and minerals for things like tension
[24:06] and energy.
[24:08] One a Day. They're just what you need to
[24:11] feel your best.
[24:13] >> Three things I always do before I
[24:15] barbecue ribs. Whip up my secret hot
[24:17] sauce. Get the coals just right. And I
[24:20] always take a Pepsi AC.
[24:22] >> Whatever is cooking, Pepsi AC can stop
[24:24] heartburn before it starts.
[24:26] >> Oh yeah.
[24:31] Hi, I have a question about buying
[24:32] stock. What's the difference between a
[24:35] market order and a limit order?
[24:42] Hello.
[24:47] Excuse me. When you have an investment
[24:50] question, does your online brokerage
[24:51] have anybody there to answer it?
[24:55] >> We do.
[24:57] I was born to be a cashier. I've been a
[24:59] cashier for 35 years. That's my office
[25:02] right over there. That's where I do all
[25:03] of my business. Your muscles working. I
[25:04] know most of my customers by now.
[25:06] Really? I do. Hi, Gabby. How you been,
[25:08] Rico? Thanks, George. You don't have to
[25:09] stand in my line because I'm fast. For
[25:11] me, it's an easy job because I have so
[25:13] much fun doing it. Our goal here at Home
[25:15] Depot is to have the lowest prices in
[25:17] town. If you find an item in another
[25:18] store for a lower price, we'll meet and
[25:21] beat that price. Does that make you
[25:22] happy, ma'am? Extremely happy. People
[25:24] deserve good prices cuz money is hard to
[25:27] come by.
[25:30] >> When you were a kid, did you carry a
[25:32] lunchbox?
[25:34] Who was on it? Was it Sir Isaac Newton?
[25:39] Was it Abraham Lincoln?
[25:42] Or was it the A team?
[25:47] Introducing the new redesigned 2000
[25:50] Mitsubishi Monto Sport. We pity the fool
[25:54] would drive anything else.
[25:59] >> The White House today confirmed that
[26:01] President and Mrs. Clinton will vacation
[26:03] this summer in central New York State
[26:05] where the first lady is expected to run
[26:07] for a US Senate seat. The mayor of New
[26:09] York City has his eyes on that same
[26:12] seat. As Diana Ols, the mayor flew today
[26:14] to Clinton Territory to attack her
[26:17] carpet bag and fill his money bag.
[26:21] Mayor, delighted to have you.
[26:22] >> Rudy Giuliani went for Hillary Clinton
[26:24] where she lives, at least where she used
[26:26] to live, the Arkansas Governor's
[26:28] Mansion.
[26:29] >> It's a good opportunity to raise money.
[26:31] >> And perhaps to play politics.
[26:33] >> Oh gosh, I would never do that.
[26:36] >> I not that's not in my personality to do
[26:38] anything like that.
[26:39] >> The mayor may have aspired to the role
[26:41] of southern gentleman, but he was all
[26:43] New Yorker on the David Letterman show
[26:45] last month, mocking his opponent's
[26:47] so-called carpet bagger candidacy. I I'm
[26:49] going to get off the airplane in Little
[26:51] Rock and I'm going to say, um, I've, uh,
[26:55] I've never lived here.
[26:58] I've never worked here.
[27:01] I ain't never been here.
[27:04] But I think it'll be cool to be your
[27:06] senator.
[27:08] >> He's telling Mrs. Clinton that he's
[27:09] going to be in her face and he's going
[27:11] to be the one who sets the agenda for
[27:12] this election, not her. Even so, while
[27:14] the first lady spent the day dealing in
[27:16] her husband's agenda,
[27:18] >> we must take a responsible and balanced
[27:20] approach to tax cuts. She didn't exactly
[27:23] ignore the other man in her life. Her
[27:26] supporters provided us with a column
[27:28] from 1964. The author, then Democrat
[27:31] Rudy Giuliani, defended Robert F.
[27:33] Kennedy's New York Senate aspirations.
[27:36] The carpet bagger issue, he wrote, is a
[27:38] truly ridiculous reason for not voting
[27:40] for a man in the year 1964.
[27:43] And so the street fighting begins.
[27:46] Curiously, with neither candidate
[27:47] anywhere near the streets of New York,
[27:49] and neither one even officially
[27:51] declaring to be in the fight. Diana
[27:54] Ollex, CBS News, New York.
[27:56] >> And that's the CBS Evening News. Dan
[27:58] Rather will be along later on tonight

[28:02] beginning at 9 8 Central time. I'm John

[28:20] March. That hasn't stopped her parents
[28:21] from trying to place the blame on her
[28:23] husband, but something else could.
[28:26] >> He's on trial for killing Nick Cisson on
