[0:03] This is a special western edition of the

[0:06] CBS Evening News. Dan Rather reporting

[0:09] live from CBS News election headquarters

[0:11] in New York. Hello everybody. A sweep of

[0:13] the South for Bill Clinton and for the

[0:15] Bush quail ticket. The Pat Buchanan

[0:17] Republican protest vote persists

[0:20] particularly in Florida. It'll be one of

[0:21] the stories of tomorrow. Headlines of

[0:23] the hour this Super Tuesday, the biggest

[0:25] day yet of campaign 92. Onethird of the

[0:28] delegates needed to win the Republican

[0:30] and Democratic presidential nominations

[0:32] are on the line in primaries and

[0:34] caucuses in 11 states. Most, not all, in

[0:38] the South. Let's look over the results

[0:40] so far. First among the Democrats in

[0:42] Texas, Bill Clinton wins. Sonis a

[0:45] distant second in Texas. Mississippi.

[0:47] Clinton goes through Mississippi burning

[0:50] way out front. Sonis a distant may not

[0:52] even finish second in Mississippi.

[0:54] Tennessee, Bill Clinton again. Tennessee

[0:56] border southern state carried by George

[0:58] Bush in the last election in this

[0:59] Democratic primary. Clinton wins it.

[1:01] Oklahoma not on the ballot there because

[1:04] of a bad foul up by his staff. So Jerry

[1:06] Brown may finish second in Oklahoma, but

[1:08] Clinton wins it. Massachusetts only

[1:10] state thus far tonight that Sonus

[1:12] definitely has won. Uh Clinton in a

[1:14] tight fit with Brown in a battle for

[1:16] second place in Massachusetts. Now in

[1:19] Florida, and this may be the biggest

[1:20] story of the evening, Clinton not only

[1:22] wins it, but wins it by a sizable margin

[1:25] over Songis. Sonis thought that this

[1:27] might be his best chance for an upset.

[1:29] If so, he was wrong, dead wrong. Clinton

[1:31] wins it and wins it big. Now, uh, with

[1:35] 2145 delegates needed to win at the

[1:38] Democratic convention this summer, these

[1:41] are the delegate totals, including the

[1:43] results so far tonight. As you can see,

[1:45] Clinton is far out front. Is he a dead

[1:47] sense to get the nomination? Nope. Uh,

[1:49] does he have a long lead in momentum?

[1:51] Yep. Now, on the Republican side, George

[1:54] Bush wins all across the board tonight.

[1:56] He wins in Texas. The combination of

[1:58] Buchanan and Duke did not be do as well

[2:00] in Texas as some had expected. President

[2:02] Bush also won in Mississippi, but the

[2:04] combination of Buchanan and Duke did uh

[2:06] at least reasonably well there by their

[2:08] standards. In Tennessee, Bush wins and

[2:10] wins big there, but again, the

[2:12] combination of Buchanan and Duke made

[2:14] some inroads on it. In Oklahoma,

[2:15] President Bush runs away with it as

[2:17] expected in every state here. Bush wins.

[2:20] Uh it's also the case in Massachusetts.

[2:22] He wins there, wins very big. And then

[2:24] in the earlier returns we had earlier

[2:25] this evening in Florida, President Bush

[2:27] wins big. But noted Buchanan getting

[2:29] about onethird of the Republicans who

[2:32] voted today against President Bush. Now

[2:34] with 1105 needed to win at the

[2:36] Republican convention in Houston this

[2:38] summer. Uh President Bush, you can

[2:40] already see is virtually a gut cench to

[2:42] get the nomination if he stays in the

[2:44] race and no one expects him to get out

[2:45] except possibly Pat Buchanan who has

[2:48] called for him to get out. Now covering

[2:49] the story tonight at three CBS News

[2:51] veterans, Susan Spencer at the White

[2:52] House, Richard Thrrell in Miami and Eric

[2:55] Inber down in New Orleans. First, let's

[2:57] go to Miami where Richard Throweld is

[2:59] tracking the Democrats who's hot, who's

[3:01] not, and why. Richard

[3:03] >> Dan, as expected, our exit polls in

[3:04] Texas showed that Clinton got a vast

[3:06] majority of the black and Hispanic vote.

[3:08] But what surprised all of us was the

[3:10] size of his victory in Florida, which

[3:12] had been thought to be a very closely

[3:14] fought twoman race, Clinton versus

[3:16] Sonis.

[3:18] Bill Clinton arrived in Chicago late

[3:20] today to await the results of the

[3:22] primaries. And according to our exit

[3:24] polls of Florida voters, the key to

[3:26] Clinton's victory was how well he did

[3:28] with what's become his natural

[3:29] constituency. He got almost three4s of

[3:32] the Florida black vote. He got a

[3:35] majority of Florida's big senior citizen

[3:37] vote, those over 60. And six out of 10

[3:40] Florida voters born in the south voted

[3:42] for Clinton. Another good sign for

[3:44] Clinton. More than half the voters in

[3:46] five southern states say they're happy

[3:48] with the candidates they have to choose

[3:50] from. Paul Sonis is certain to win the

[3:52] primary in his home state,

[3:54] Massachusetts. But he's also tried hard

[3:56] to challenge Clinton in the South.

[3:59] But Florida emerged as the big

[4:01] battleground. And because it was so

[4:03] important, Florida voters have been

[4:05] witnessing an increasingly bitter

[4:06] campaign. And they've noticed. 46% of

[4:09] the Florida Democratic voters in our

[4:11] exit poll said that the two candidates

[4:13] have spent more time attacking each

[4:15] other. Only 42% thought they'd spent

[4:17] more time explaining the issues. Songis

[4:20] carries along a visual aid to accuse

[4:22] Clinton of pandering for votes.

[4:24] >> This is my opponent, Panda Bear.

[4:28] Clinton's been distributing a flyer to

[4:30] Jewish voters purporting to show that

[4:32] Sonis is soft on support for Israel. And

[4:34] he's been running a TV ad bashing Sonis

[4:37] economic program. Another capital gains

[4:39] tax cut for the rich and a 50 cent hike

[4:41] in the gas tax over 10 years for the

[4:43] rest of us.

[4:45] >> The task for Paul Sus tonight try to

[4:47] salvage a quarter at least of the

[4:48] delegates at stake tonight in order to

[4:50] keep going. Dan

[4:52] >> Richard, what about Illinois and

[4:53] Michigan that are up next week? Sonus

[4:55] now is nearing the must-win one of those

[4:58] two stages. Is he not?

[4:59] >> He is indeed. Bill Clinton is going to

[5:01] get a huge bounce, big premedia bounce

[5:04] in both those states because of

[5:06] tonight's victory. Uh Sonis, I think

[5:08] everybody would agree, needs to win at

[5:10] least one of those two states or he's

[5:11] going to be severely wounded. One other

[5:13] piece of advice in either of those

[5:14] states, do not count out Jerry Brown.

[5:18] >> Let's move on to the Republican side.

[5:19] President Bush had some of his

[5:21] surrogates, Rich Bond, head of the

[5:22] Republican National Committee, and Pete

[5:24] Wilson, the governor of California, open

[5:26] up on Pat Buchanan, calling Buchanan,

[5:28] uh, this is almost direct, uh, racist,

[5:31] anti-Semitic. Susan Spencer is at the

[5:33] White House. Susan, how do they read

[5:35] tonight's returns?

[5:36] >> Well, the White House, as you can

[5:37] imagine, was fully prepared and

[5:39] wellraced for that by now usual solid

[5:42] one-third of Republican voters to reject

[5:45] Mr. Bush. But although our CBS News exit

[5:47] polls show that about half the Buchanan

[5:49] voters say that they're not going to

[5:50] support the president in the fall

[5:52] either, the Bush campaign doesn't buy

[5:54] it. They don't believe it. They say

[5:55] those voters will be back, if only

[5:57] because they have no place else to go.

[6:00] CBS News exit polls show that

[6:02] independents and people who don't think

[6:04] of themselves as Republicans defecting

[6:06] to Pat Buchanan in substantial numbers.

[6:09] More reason for Mr. Bush's supporters

[6:11] constant plea to the challenger, get

[6:13] out. certainly has a right to run and

[6:15] he's worked hard, but uh when it's over,

[6:17] it's over.

[6:18] >> Buchanan has won nothing and is not

[6:20] going to win anything. And I think the

[6:22] question becomes that he's got to decide

[6:24] on on his own at what point does this

[6:26] particular exercise cease to be a

[6:28] protest.

[6:29] >> Those protesting Buchanan voters,

[6:31] according to our exit polls,

[6:32] overwhelmingly feel the economy is in

[6:35] bad shape, have no clear idea where the

[6:37] president stands on issues, and do not

[6:40] like his broken pledge on taxes. Mr.

[6:43] Bush today re-emphasized where he stands

[6:45] on taxes now, at least on the Democrat's

[6:47] plan to raise taxes on the rich.

[6:49] >> And I'm going to veto that tax increase

[6:52] bill as soon as it's sent to me.

[6:53] >> Increasingly, this is how the Bush

[6:55] campaign is likely to look. A tax on

[6:57] Congress rather than on Buchanan and

[6:59] pronouncements from the White House

[7:01] rather than from the road. Mr. Bush may

[7:03] even try a national TV address when his

[7:06] declared deadline for economic action

[7:08] passes, trying to seize the initiative

[7:10] on the economy. the issue the polls say

[7:13] voters care about the most.

[7:15] >> The president's advisers concede that

[7:17] his message has at times been muddled.

[7:19] But given the kinds of numbers they're

[7:21] seeing tonight, they figure they've got

[7:22] enough time to unmuddle it before it

[7:24] really counts. Dan

[7:26] >> Susan Pat Buchanan is storming because

[7:28] he says part of the president's message

[7:29] now is have his surrogates uh dump all

[7:31] over Buchanan. Is the president's basic

[7:33] message likely to change now?

[7:36] >> I don't think you're going to see any

[7:37] change in the surrogates. I think the

[7:39] surrogates will continue to, as he puts

[7:41] it, dump all over him. On the other

[7:42] hand, the president is likely to be much

[7:44] more focused now on the Democratic

[7:46] Congress. He'll paint himself as the

[7:47] good guy protecting America from high

[7:50] taxes against the high taxing Democrats

[7:52] on the Hill until he has an opponent.

[7:55] >> Susan Spencer from Pennsylvania Avenue.

[7:56] We go now live down to the Big Easy New

[7:59] Orleans where Eric Inberg is watching

[8:00] how much the Pat Buchanan protest is

[8:02] cutting into the Bush Quailo re-election

[8:04] drive and whether Buchanan can cut up

[8:06] the rival David Duke campaign. And Eric,

[8:08] good evening,

[8:10] >> Dan. As Pat Buchanan left Louisiana

[8:12] today to begin his campaign in Michigan,

[8:14] he gave the White House another

[8:16] unwelcome reminder of how much trouble

[8:18] he can cause for George Bush in the fall

[8:20] election. Buchanan accused the

[8:23] president's handpicked chief of the

[8:24] Republican National Committee, Rich

[8:26] Bond, of slandering him when he said on

[8:29] a weekend television talk show that

[8:31] Buchanan had hijacked David Duke's

[8:33] message of racial and religious

[8:35] intolerance. and Buchanan demanded that

[8:38] Bond be ousted as chief of the

[8:40] Republican party.

[8:42] >> I'm going to tell every Republican I

[8:44] know not to give another dime to the

[8:45] Republican National Committee until he's

[8:47] out of there. And I I said I will

[8:49] endorse George Bush. Uh but when Mr.

[8:52] Bush comes over, if he wins, and asks us

[8:55] to help, I'll say, "You got somebody

[8:57] there that thinks I'm uh that thinks I'm

[9:00] David Duke and has said so." And uh we

[9:04] can't if he's commanding the campaign,

[9:06] leading the campaign, our troops aren't

[9:08] marching under that character. Now, as

[9:11] for David Duke, Dan, the one thing is

[9:13] clear, even with the polls still open in

[9:15] Louisiana, is that David Duke has

[9:17] suffered a severe repudiation across the

[9:20] South and in the northern states where

[9:22] Super Tuesday primaries are being are

[9:24] being held. Duke has reached double

[9:26] figures in states where the polls are

[9:28] closed, only in Mississippi. Everywhere

[9:31] else, his numbers are well below double

[9:33] figures. Uh, if this does not fatally

[9:35] wound his candidacy, it certainly will

[9:38] raise questions all across the

[9:39] right-wing spectrum as to whether David

[9:42] Duke is a candidate at all of national

[9:44] stature. Dan,

[9:46] >> Eric, thanks. Reminding all of you now,

[9:47] we'll update the election picture right

[9:50] at the end of this broadcast. Still

[9:51] ahead on the CBS Evening News. Besides

[9:53] that, Scud missiles are found in landing

[9:57] in Iran and a late winter storm. Deadly

[10:00] tornadoes rip through the south.

[10:24] to.

[10:24] >> Imagine a rent a car company that offers

[10:27] special delivery right to your door.

[10:29] That's Enterprise.

[10:31] Come

[10:31] >> here, let me help you.

[10:34] Enterprise, a special rental car company

[10:37] that gives you special delivery.

[10:40] Here's the problem. You need to remodel

[10:42] your house. But you don't know if you'll

[10:44] ever get to do it. Because in between

[10:47] need and get is a gap called not enough

[10:49] money. Well, it's easy to bridge that

[10:52] gap between need and get. Just go to

[10:54] First Interstate Bank because First

[10:56] Interstate offers home improvement

[10:57] loans, car loans, and secured lines of

[11:00] credit at our lowest rates in years. So

[11:02] to go from need to get, just go to First

[11:05] Interstate Bank and we'll help you get

[11:08] what you need.

[11:12] Last week, CBS News broke the story of

[11:14] how the US Navy, under direction of

[11:16] President Bush, was tracking a North

[11:18] Korean ship in the Indian Ocean,

[11:20] preparing to intercept it and possibly

[11:22] board it before it reached the Persian

[11:24] Gulf. Well, there were red faces at the

[11:26] US Defense Department today when

[11:28] officials were forced to acknowledge

[11:29] that that Korean ship had disappeared

[11:32] and then turned up in Iran. David Martin

[11:34] has the story.

[11:38] Navy ships and aircraft had been looking

[11:39] for the North Korean ship ever since it

[11:41] entered the Indian Ocean with what was

[11:43] believed to be a cargo of Scud missile,

[11:45] a more accurate version of the weapon

[11:47] launched against Israel and Saudi Arabia

[11:49] during the Gulf War. But the naval drag

[11:52] net came up empty. The North Korean ship

[11:54] apparently altered course to hug the

[11:56] shoreline and lose itself in coastal

[11:58] traffic. When it finally showed up, it

[12:00] was already in the Iranian port of

[12:02] Bandar Abbas, unloading its cargo. We

[12:05] were aware of the ship. We were

[12:07] certainly uh looking for it, but I don't

[12:09] know why uh I don't know why we never

[12:11] found it.

[12:12] >> The Pentagon had planned to intercept

[12:13] the ship under the authority of the

[12:15] United Nations embargo of Iraq. Pentagon

[12:18] officials said they had the right to

[12:19] board and search it as they have

[12:21] hundreds of other vessels over the past

[12:22] year and a half.

[12:24] >> Please stand by to accept the United

[12:26] States inspection team. But officials

[12:28] admitted that as long as the ship was

[12:30] bound for Iran, the US had no legal

[12:32] justification to divert it, no matter

[12:34] what it was carrying.

[12:36] >> If the ship declared for Iran, and in

[12:38] fact, that's where it went. It went into

[12:40] Bonder Abbas, uh it would not come under

[12:42] the terms of the uh UN Security Council

[12:45] resolution.

[12:46] >> Early this morning, a second ship, this

[12:48] one of Iranian registry, which the

[12:50] Pentagon also suspects of carrying

[12:52] missile equipment, was located

[12:54] challenged. It allowed to proceed after

[12:56] it responded that it was carrying steel

[12:58] and drilling material to Iran.

[13:00] >> The Pentagon now contends the failure to

[13:03] intercept the North Korean ship is no

[13:04] big deal since it ended up in Iran and

[13:07] not Iraq. But the fact is the Bush

[13:09] administration wanted to stop a

[13:11] suspected shipment of Scud missiles to

[13:13] the Middle East and couldn't. David

[13:16] Martin, CBS News, the Pentagon. Mad

[13:19] March weather spread eastward from the

[13:21] Great Plains today, striking from the

[13:23] Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico with

[13:25] rain, snow, freezing cold, and high

[13:28] wind. In Mississippi, a tornado killed

[13:30] three people, injured 40. James Attori

[13:33] picks up the trail of destruction.

[13:36] Heavy rains and winds up to 70 mph swept

[13:39] across much of Alabama and spawned

[13:41] several twisters. In Muscle Scholes, a

[13:43] service station and convenience store

[13:45] took a direct hit. Two people inside

[13:47] narrowly escaped.

[13:49] >> Everything just blew up. You know, I

[13:51] didn't really hear the wind. It just

[13:53] sound like a big explosion and glass and

[13:55] debris started flying.

[13:57] >> Near Birmingham, 13 residents were

[13:59] injured in a mobile home park.

[14:01] >> Alls I heard was a bunch of loud raining

[14:03] and wind and the next thing I knew, it

[14:05] sounded like a freight train and metal

[14:06] hitting a trailer.

[14:07] >> At Chicago's O'Hare Airport, the storm

[14:09] brought new snow and flight delays. An

[14:12] air traffic radar malfunctioned while on

[14:14] emergency power, leaving planes at the

[14:16] gate and passengers in the lurch.

[14:19] >> I finally got cancelled after waiting

[14:21] three hours and just fun at O'Hare when

[14:23] the weather's bad.

[14:24] >> After so many balmy days across much of

[14:27] the nation, this latest storm has

[14:28] spoiled hopes for an early spring. James

[14:31] Hoto, CBS News, Dallas.

[14:34] >> Coming up next, the money crunch. What

[14:36] happens when you pay to take a trip and

[14:38] then your travel agent takes a hike?

[14:48] If you suffer from the common aches and

[14:50] pains of arthritis, doctors know that a

[14:53] safe and effective way to relieve them

[14:55] is something you may already have in

[14:56] your home. Extra strength Tylenol gel

[14:59] caps. Tylenol helps relieve arthritis

[15:02] pain without irritating your stomach the

[15:05] way aspirin or even ibuprofen can. What

[15:08] should you take for your arthritis pain?

[15:10] Talk to your doctor. The answer may be

[15:12] closer than you think. Tylenol, the pain

[15:15] reliever hospitals use most.

[15:22] All across America, more people

[15:25] repurchase Kenmore appliances than any

[15:27] other major brand.

[15:29] In fact, over one out of two homes in

[15:32] the country count on Kenmore.

[15:35] And right now, you can count on great

[15:37] values on these huge 20 cubic foot

[15:39] Kenmore refrigerators. Both with free

[15:41] factoryinstalled ice makers only at

[15:44] Sears Brand Central.

[15:49] >> Your breakfast, sir.

[15:51] >> This new Kellogg's Frosted Brand is

[15:53] quite sensible. Crispy flakes with whole

[15:55] wheat and bran lightly frosted for a

[15:57] taste. A taste that delicious. I love

[16:02] it. I love it. Love it. Love it. love

[16:04] love it. I love it.

[16:06] >> And new Kellogg's Frosted Brand has less

[16:08] sugar than you'd imagine, but the taste

[16:11] it's out of.

[16:12] >> We've got to stop serving this.

[16:14] >> New Kellogg's Frosted Brand. Wildly

[16:16] delicious. Sensibly good.

[16:18] >> Super Tuesday. Which Democrats will

[16:20] survive? Can the president overcome the

[16:22] Buchanan challenge? See first full

[16:24] election results in a CBS News special

[16:26] tonight.

[16:30] Times are tough and a lot of Americans

[16:31] are having trouble scraping up the money

[16:33] for a vacation. So, it's more important

[16:35] than ever that you get what you pay for.

[16:38] Juan Vasquez has the brochure on

[16:40] avoiding travel ripoffs in tonight's

[16:42] report on the money crunch making it in

[16:45] America.

[16:47] >> NUMBER ONE,

[16:49] >> Canada's Eastern Province of Nova

[16:51] Scotia, a favorite vacation site for

[16:53] American travelers in the summer. That's

[16:55] why Martha Franks paid $1,700 to see it.

[16:59] But low bookings caused her tour to be

[17:01] cancelled and Martha asked for her money

[17:03] back. Months later, she is still home,

[17:06] but her money is still gone.

[17:08] >> Holding our money for five months. I

[17:12] don't know what they were doing with it.

[17:14] Was sort of unconscionable.

[17:15] >> It was a combination of things. The

[17:17] recession certainly has taken a

[17:19] tremendous bite out of us. the Gulf War,

[17:22] the first part of last year, uh, ceased

[17:24] travel entirely.

[17:26] >> Sandra Rodriguez sold Martha Franks the

[17:28] tour, but like many travel operators,

[17:30] she had a terrible year in 1991 and

[17:33] filed for bankruptcy.

[17:35] >> You had probably more people say, "I

[17:38] want to get out of the business." You

[17:39] had more mergers where people would

[17:41] merge with other agencies, tour

[17:43] operators who would close their door and

[17:45] say, "I can't survive."

[17:46] >> Those closed doors have meant headaches

[17:48] for travelers all over the country.

[17:50] Throughout the Gulf War and now the

[17:52] recession, a lot of vacationers planned

[17:54] for a trip only to discover at the last

[17:56] minute that the tour operator did not

[17:59] pay for it.

[17:59] >> Um, the Bahamian government has

[18:01] >> some vacationers are stranded literally

[18:03] on the dock. 250 passengers left with

[18:05] nowhere to go after a tour agency failed

[18:08] to buy tickets for their cruise. The

[18:10] Parker, Colorado High School marching

[18:12] band was one of several invited to

[18:13] Florida's Blockbuster Bowl. It gave a

[18:16] travel agent nearly $100,000 to pay for

[18:18] the trip. The agent went bankrupt.

[18:21] Experts say here's what you should do to

[18:23] protect yourself when booking a tour.

[18:25] Look for a reputable agent operator, one

[18:28] who subscribes to a trip protection

[18:29] plan. Use a credit card. It will give

[18:32] you more protection. And consider buying

[18:34] your own trip insurance. The

[18:36] award-winning band finally made it to

[18:38] Florida thanks to an anonymous donor.

[18:41] The cruise line helped passengers get on

[18:43] board, but some of them still had to put

[18:45] up more of their own money. As for

[18:47] Martha Franks, she never made it to Nova

[18:49] Scotia, but she does feel she's been

[18:52] taken. Juan Vasquez, CBS News, Miami.

[18:56] >> With a reminder, we'll have election

[18:58] results coming up at the top of the

[18:59] hour. Right up next, Eye on America.

[19:01] Tonight, what can happen when opponents

[19:03] on the abortion issue get beyond the

[19:06] anger and the shouting?

[19:13] As beneficial as self-examination is,

[19:16] Mary Brody won't feel the tiny lump in

[19:18] her breast for another 2 years. But

[19:21] she'll discover it tomorrow after her

[19:23] first mamog. Thanks in part to a new

[19:26] X-ray film created by DuPant that makes

[19:29] it safer to start mimography early. And

[19:31] for Mary, early detection means a 2-year

[19:34] head start on the rest of her life. At

[19:37] DuPant, we make the things that make a

[19:39] difference.

[19:42] Simon, I've got a clawed drain. What do

[19:45] I do?

[19:46] >> I've got a hardware store full of things

[19:48] you could try. But I just got something

[19:50] in that's so strong, so fast is all you

[19:52] need. New Liquid Dano Professional

[19:54] Strength Plus. New Draano Plus has a

[19:56] unique thick formula with more power

[19:58] than the leading competitor. That's a

[20:00] plus. So much power it churns and busts

[20:02] through clogs in half the time. Another

[20:05] plus.

[20:06] Don't mess with anything else.

[20:08] >> I won't.

[20:09] >> Thicker, stronger, faster. That's the

[20:11] plus in new Drano Plus.

[20:13] >> At Whirlpool, we believe you shouldn't

[20:15] have to think about your appliances.

[20:17] They should be so carefully designed, so

[20:19] solidly constructed, they'll do their

[20:22] jobs for years without your ever giving

[20:24] them a second thought. We're committed

[20:26] to building and backing all our

[20:28] appliances this way. And it shows in

[20:30] everyone we make. So, if you want

[20:32] appliances so wellbuilt you don't have

[20:34] to think about them, there's one name

[20:36] you should think about.

[20:39] Whirlpool.

[20:43] >> I'm Mark Mcchuan.

[20:44] >> And I'm Paul Aison. Inspect the new

[20:45] house now or pay later.

[20:47] >> What should you know about the person

[20:48] inspecting it? Find out tomorrow on CBS

[20:50] This Morning. It's breakfast for your

[20:51] head.

[20:57] >> Tonight's Eye on America is about

[20:59] abortion. Now, before you say you've

[21:00] heard it all before, wait. You haven't

[21:03] heard this. Bruce Morton reports the

[21:05] story of how some dedicated Americans

[21:07] moved the abortion issue from a

[21:09] battleground to common ground.

[21:13] Terry is eight months pregnant. Didn't

[21:15] want the baby at first. Hoped the drugs

[21:17] she was using would kill the fetus.

[21:19] >> I honestly did not want this baby. And I

[21:21] had hoped for a long period of time that

[21:23] I could smoke enough drugs in order to

[21:27] kill it.

[21:28] Now she does want it and has been

[21:30] drug-free for four months, partly thanks

[21:32] to help from right to life activist

[21:33] Loretta Wagner and the shelter she runs.

[21:37] >> Mom,

[21:39] Cindy Sanchez wanted an abortion, but

[21:41] now is glad she has one-month-old

[21:42] Natalyia. She got help from a clinic run

[21:45] by pro-choice activist BJ Isacson Jones.

[21:48] Isaacson Jones and Wagner will never

[21:50] agree about abortion, but both want

[21:52] happy endings for women like Cindy and

[21:54] Terry, and they now meet regularly in an

[21:56] unprecedented search for common ground

[21:58] on issues affecting women and children.

[22:01] >> We have to stand on our basic principles

[22:05] and um and and get our points across,

[22:08] but at the same time, I don't want this

[22:10] to escalate into some sort of a Vietnam

[22:13] or the 1990s.

[22:15] >> Certain this is what you want to do? Uh

[22:17] yeah. Okay. Considered all your choices.

[22:20] >> Sure. Relax.

[22:21] >> Isacson Jones's clinic does abortions.

[22:23] Denise, not her real name, says she

[22:25] cannot have a child now.

[22:27] >> Five apple pies.

[22:29] >> But the clinic also offers adoption

[22:31] counseling. That's how Ivon and Leroy

[22:32] Holmes got young Michael. And sometimes

[22:35] pro-choice Isacson Jones has sent

[22:37] pregnant women who need a bed to Right

[22:39] to Life Wagner's shelter.

[22:41] We understand that the disparaging

[22:44] labels used by both sides of the of the

[22:47] abortion debate do very little to help

[22:50] the woman with a crisis pregnancy.

[22:55] >> NOW,

[22:57] >> it is the bitterest, most emotional

[22:59] debate in American politics. But in some

[23:02] cities, the two sides have found common

[23:04] ground.

[23:05] >> So, it's good that you're drinking the

[23:06] orange juice, and tomatoes, too, have

[23:08] vitamin C. Both want good nutrition for

[23:10] pregnant women.

[23:12] >> Both agree on the need for good prenatal

[23:14] care.

[23:14] >> This baby is head down in the right

[23:17] position to deliver. The idea that a

[23:20] woman has the right to choose abortion

[23:21] is under growing attack these days.

[23:23] Voices shouting in anger on both sides.

[23:26] That rising anger adds urgency to the

[23:28] search for common ground. It's 11:00.

[23:31] Stay tuned now for Wake Up America.

[23:34] >> Wake up America. by the dawn early

[23:40] >> and the search for common ground has

[23:42] spread in Wau. Jan Pel hosts a right to

[23:45] life radio program on a Christian

[23:47] station.

[23:48] >> What do you believe is the most

[23:50] controversial, the most divisive issue

[23:53] in American society today? Alto together

[23:55] now. Abortion. You got it.

[23:57] >> Maggie Cage, who ran an abortion clinic

[23:59] for 12 years, is a volunteer in a

[24:01] pro-choice senatorial campaign.

[24:04] >> Judy Hoff from Planned Parenthood. Do

[24:06] you think she'd do some calls for Moody

[24:08] for a choice fundraiser?

[24:09] >> I sure would ask.

[24:10] >> Cage and Pel went to the same high

[24:12] school, both homecoming queens, one year

[24:14] apart. Passel picketed outside Cage's

[24:17] clinic, but they too are now meeting

[24:19] regularly, searching for common ground.

[24:22] >> You and I aren't going to convince one

[24:24] another of of our varying points of

[24:26] view, and that's okay. And there are

[24:28] places we can agree, and that's a whole

[24:30] new idea.

[24:31] >> The two sides have been enemies for a

[24:33] generation. The search for common ground

[24:35] is new and as fragile as feelings, but

[24:38] sometimes old enemies find they can

[24:41] agree.

[24:42] >> The bottom line, I think, is our common

[24:44] humanity.

[24:45] >> My baby is going to be healthy and he's

[24:49] not going to be drug addicted.

[24:50] >> It's such a huge controversy, you know,

[24:54] pro pro-life, pro, you know, toys. It's

[24:57] just so women need help. Help for

[25:01] pregnant women. Help for babies. Common

[25:04] ground in St. Louis. Bruce Morton for

[25:07] Eye on America.

[25:23] >> Oh my god.

[25:25] >> Think about your day and what you would

[25:29] do.

[25:30] If you won 10 million

[25:33] out of the blue,

[25:35] imagine the bell rings. The winner is

[25:39] you.

[25:41] Publishers clearing house. The house

[25:44] where dreams come true.

[25:53] All across America, more people

[25:56] repurchase Kenmore appliances than any

[25:58] other brand.

[26:01] In fact, over one out of two homes in

[26:03] the country count on Kenmore.

[26:06] And right now, this Kenmore dishwasher

[26:09] with three-level wash is at its lowest

[26:11] price ever. Only $3.28.99.

[26:14] Only through Saturday at Sears Brand

[26:16] Central.

[26:49] >> Doctor,

[26:50] >> is it right for me? Habitatrol.

[26:52] >> It's a patch. Well, you know the patch.

[26:54] Habitrol.

[26:54] >> Habitatrol.

[26:55] >> You know Habitatrol?

[26:57] >> It's a patch.

[26:58] >> It's new.

[26:58] >> Habitatrol.

[26:59] >> Ask your doctor about Habitatrol

[27:01] nicotine transdermal system.

[27:02] >> Thanks, doctor.

[27:03] >> What do you smell?

[27:04] >> I smell nothing. It's almost like you're

[27:06] working to breathe.

[27:07] >> For fast relief, try Drian 12-hour nasal

[27:09] spray.

[27:11] Now smell

[27:12] >> orange. Yeah. Tristan nasal spray.

[27:15] Worked very fast.

[27:16] >> Dristan, the face of relief. Today,

[27:21] >> the Super Tuesday story lines of the

[27:23] hour. Bill Clinton sweeps the South.

[27:25] President Bush does too, but Mr. Bush

[27:27] fails to quell the protest vote for Pat

[27:30] Buchanan. Let's take a look. First for

[27:32] the Democrats. These are the states won

[27:35] by Clinton, Texas, Florida, Mississippi,

[27:37] Tennessee, and Oklahoma. So far, Paul

[27:40] Sonis has won only in his home state of

[27:42] Massachusetts. uh more about what

[27:45] happens in Rhode Island where he's

[27:46] expected to win later on. Now, for the

[27:48] Republicans, President Bush has won

[27:50] every state on the boards tonight.

[27:52] However, in some of those states,

[27:54] particularly in Florida, Pat Buchanan

[27:56] continues to do what nearly everybody

[27:58] considers to be surprisingly well. That

[28:00] is roughly a third, give or take a

[28:02] little, of all the Republicans voting,

[28:04] protesting uh against President Bush and

[28:07] his economic policies. Now, we'll have

[28:09] Super Tuesday updates throughout the

[28:11] evening on this CBS station. We'll wrap

[28:13] up all the results and what they may

[28:15] mean in an hour-long CBS News special

[28:18] live at 6:00 p.m. Pacific time. Dan

[28:21] Rather for the CBS Evening News. We'll
