[0:03] Tonight on Night Line, Fat Town, Thin
[0:07] Town. It's been called the unhealthiest
[0:09] place in America. But can these people
[0:12] look like these people?
[0:14] >> I am now down to 106 left to lose.
[0:18] >> It's a tale of two cities. Fire starter.
[0:21] Families live in fear as an outofcontrol
[0:24] arsonist sets homes a flame one by one
[0:28] by one. But can the police stop the
[0:30] terror before it's too late? Plus, just
[0:34] for men, why more and more men are
[0:36] taking radical action for an age-old
[0:39] affliction with a new name, the MOO. It
[0:42] truly is a sign of the times.
[0:45] >> From the global resources of ABC News
[0:48] with Terry Moran, Martin Basher, and
[0:51] Cynthia Mcbaden in New York City, this
[0:54] is Night Line, February 19th, 2009.
[0:58] Good evening. We begin tonight with a
[1:01] modern-day tale of two cities. One, the
[1:04] very picture of health where exercise is
[1:06] commonplace and the diets are as lean as
[1:09] the residents. The other, well, the
[1:12] other bears a dubious distinction from
[1:15] the Centers for Disease Control, the
[1:17] title of least healthy city in America.
[1:20] So, what is it that separates these two
[1:22] cities, and what can one learn from the
[1:24] other? Vicky Mayberry visited both to
[1:27] find out as she now reports for our
[1:29] series, You Are What You Eat.
[1:38] >> These people are sweating mad.
[1:41] >> How many do you want to be in shape?
[1:45] mad because their city, Huntington, West
[1:47] Virginia,
[1:48] >> all you got,
[1:50] >> has been named the unhealthiest city in
[1:52] America and they're not going to take it
[1:54] anymore. How'd you get that reputation
[1:57] for being so unhealthy?
[2:02] >> Well, not really. Check out this group
[2:04] weighin of the choir of Christ Temple
[2:07] Church. They weighed themselves on a
[2:09] massive scale at a truck stop. The
[2:12] result, they're a ton overweight.
[2:15] Literally,
[2:17] >> some of those facts are true.
[2:19] >> Pizza places. As a college student, we
[2:21] have lots of pizza places.
[2:22] >> There's a lot of fast food.
[2:25] >> If you weren't coming here, could you
[2:27] exercise
[2:27] >> in the winter? Not much. It's too easy
[2:29] to sit in the house in the winter.
[2:31] >> By that, you would think the healthiest
[2:33] city would be somewhere warm. But
[2:35] according to the same report, the
[2:37] healthiest place is 860 miles to the
[2:40] north, almost on the Canadian border.
[2:43] It's wintry cold Burlington, Vermont.
[2:47] Here's how the two stack up.
[2:49] Huntington's population is just over
[2:51] 50,000. Burlington has 39,000. Median
[2:55] family income $39,000 in Huntington
[2:58] compared to 54,000 in Burlington.
[3:02] Both are college towns. There are many
[3:04] similarities, but when it comes to
[3:06] health, no comparison. Huntington scores
[3:09] a knockout in high rates of obesity,
[3:12] diabetes, heart disease, and tooth loss.
[3:15] But the folks we met in Huntington want
[3:17] to be healthier like Burlington. So, the
[3:19] challenge is on.
[3:21] >> You're going to kick some Burlington
[3:22] butt.
[3:23] >> Uhhuh.
[3:25] >> On.
[3:25] >> Next year, they're going to be at the
[3:26] bottom. We're going to be at the top.
[3:28] >> When you read the article, what did you
[3:30] think? I thought, "Yep,
[3:33] that's it. That's us." Oh, okay. Look,
[3:36] >> Michelle Eisenberg has lived in
[3:37] Huntington for six years. She's 41,
[3:40] married, and homeschools the oldest of
[3:42] her three sons.
[3:43] >> I start off 120 that I wanted to lose. I
[3:47] am now down to 106 left to lose. It's a
[3:51] lot of work.
[3:53] >> And let's bring your boots cuz we can
[3:54] switch out of them. Her Burlington
[3:56] counterpart is Katherine Monstream, 47,
[3:59] wife, mother of three, artist, and
[4:01] sports enthusiast.
[4:03] >> Do you have much obesity here?
[4:05] >> I don't see much at all. Seems like when
[4:07] I go to another part of the country, I'm
[4:09] a little surprised sometimes.
[4:12] >> Okay, Huntington, here's how it's done.
[4:14] Starting with exercise.
[4:17] The snow's deep and the ice crunchy in
[4:19] Burlington. And that's a beautiful thing
[4:20] to Catherine and her daughter, Sylvie.
[4:22] >> The high for the day is 2°. Yeah.
[4:25] >> And you're still out getting your
[4:27] exercise.
[4:27] >> Well, you got to get out there.
[4:28] Otherwise, you go, you know, having a
[4:30] fever. You've seen the shiny.
[4:33] >> In fact, the cold doesn't seem to stop
[4:36] verters at all. On this frigid day,
[4:38] they're still out walking, running, even
[4:41] cycling.
[4:43] In Huntington, it's 30° warmer, but
[4:46] still cold enough to send most people
[4:48] indoors. And indoors is where we find
[4:50] Michelle and her son, Michael.
[4:52] >> I like to run. I like to ride my bike,
[4:55] um, my scooter.
[4:57] >> And why can't you do those things now?
[4:59] >> Um, it's too cold.
[5:02] >> So, Michael's main exercise is bouncing
[5:04] up and down on this mini trampoline.
[5:08] >> I just need a couple more pounds off and
[5:11] then I am skinny. So, my mom says to
[5:17] work to be a hottie and I'm working to
[5:20] be a hottie. So, a little more exercise
[5:23] and a change in diet, too.
[5:26] >> We've got the sub Nesquick and syrup and
[5:30] got some hamburger buns. Um, for the
[5:33] most part, though, we've kind of cleaned
[5:34] it out.
[5:35] >> They're trying to do better and cutting
[5:37] back on junk food. You should have seen
[5:39] their pantry a few weeks ago. It was
[5:42] stuffed with two or three bags of chips
[5:44] and then we'd have Oreos and there would
[5:47] probably be a couple of those little 90
[5:49] cent packages of candy bars
[5:51] >> in your freezer.
[5:52] >> Well, this is where you're going to see
[5:53] the majority of our vegetables because
[5:56] to get fresh fruits and vegetables in
[5:58] this area is very expensive. So, we have
[6:00] a lot of frozen vegetables
[6:01] >> to eat healthy. Are you finding that
[6:04] it's more expensive?
[6:05] >> Mhm. It's cheap to be fat. It's
[6:07] expensive to be healthy. But I still see
[6:10] out on the table soda.
[6:13] >> Yes, that is my one thing is my goal
[6:17] before the end of the April 5th is
[6:19] completely weed out sodas.
[6:20] >> I don't think I've ever bought soda in
[6:22] my life.
[6:22] >> Yes, diet is a bit different in
[6:24] Burlington, especially for Catherine and
[6:27] her family.
[6:28] >> We got to go get chili and ter.
[6:30] >> Check out their shopping list. What did
[6:32] you put on your list?
[6:34] >> Big carrots, bagel peas. Where are the
[6:36] cookies and the cakes and the chips and
[6:38] the snacks?
[6:40] >> Um, I don't think they have them.
[6:44] >> Do you think this is the typical
[6:46] Americans shopping list?
[6:48] >> No, I I don't. I think it's somewhat
[6:50] typical of Burlington.
[6:52] >> They shop at a food co-op, the only
[6:54] supermarket in downtown Burlington.
[6:57] >> We have a million people come through
[6:58] the doors a year. Some people are
[7:00] looking for price point. Some people are
[7:02] looking for health. And a lot of people
[7:04] are just trying to buy enough food to to
[7:08] sustain their families or themselves.
[7:10] >> Katherine goes for local and healthy
[7:12] even though it costs more. So, is it
[7:14] more expensive?
[7:15] >> It could be. It depends. You just have
[7:17] to look and compare.
[7:18] >> What's your philosophy on on shopping
[7:20] and eating?
[7:21] >> I think as much as you can use whole
[7:23] foods and less processed, then I'm
[7:25] happy. You know, less ingredients the
[7:27] better.
[7:28] >> In West Virginia at the supermarket,
[7:30] processed foods abound. This is my area.
[7:34] >> Cookies. Cookies.
[7:36] >> Right here is mine.
[7:37] >> But Michelle is learning a new way to
[7:39] shop.
[7:40] >> Okay. We're going to the U produce. So,
[7:42] we shop on the outside aisle out.
[7:44] >> Why do you shop the outside?
[7:46] >> Because the fresh fruits and vegetables
[7:48] are on the outside. Your meats, your
[7:49] dairy, all of the well, I call it stuff
[7:53] that God created is on the outside.
[7:54] >> It's easy to pack on the pounds in
[7:56] Huntington. The main drags are a siren
[7:59] song of cheap and plentiful fast food.
[8:02] And then there's infrastructure. Dr. Tom
[8:04] Danolds, a family practitioner in
[8:06] Huntington, is proud to be called an
[8:08] exercise evangelist. He says Huntington
[8:11] doesn't make healthy living easy.
[8:13] >> The roads here, there's technically a
[8:15] shoulder. Uh it's about 3 in, I think.
[8:18] >> So, it's a little dangerous around here
[8:20] to exercise.
[8:21] >> It's very dangerous.
[8:22] >> The town hugs the Ohio River, which is a
[8:25] workhorse, not a showor. There's less
[8:27] than a mile of walking trail along the
[8:29] river's edge. Dr. Dan wants to change
[8:31] that.
[8:32] >> We want to build a trail on top of the
[8:34] flood wall. If you live close to a
[8:36] trail, you're more likely to use it.
[8:37] >> By contrast, Burlington shoreline on
[8:40] Lake Champlain is a big playground.
[8:43] >> I think we all get inspired by each
[8:44] other and and how we eat and how we move
[8:48] our bodies and try to keep active.
[8:49] >> The town's main downtown shopping
[8:51] district is closed to traffic, forcing
[8:53] shoppers to get out of their cars and
[8:55] walk.
[8:58] Huntington's downtown is car friendly
[9:00] and full of good deals for cheap meals.
[9:03] According to the report, Huntington has
[9:05] more pizza parlors than gyms. Still,
[9:08] Michelle and her family are trying to
[9:10] avoid the temptations.
[9:11] >> A few months ago, we would have had a
[9:14] bologn sandwich,
[9:16] a big pile of chips, and then Kool-Aid
[9:20] or pop to drink. And then for dessert,
[9:24] we would have had probably three
[9:25] cookies. What about fast food? Do you
[9:27] eat much fast food? This is fast.
[9:29] >> This is your fast food.
[9:32] >> So, there's a lot for the folks of
[9:34] Huntington to overcome, but this dubious
[9:36] honor may be just the kick in the pants
[9:38] they need to
[9:39] >> be known as the most unhealthy city in
[9:42] the United States. You know, pastor said
[9:45] Sunday, I'm glad they pointed it out if
[9:47] it is true because that alone is
[9:50] motivation to change that,
[9:52] >> right? And so we'll let it start here.
[9:56] >> Game on. This is Vicky Mabberry for
[9:59] Night Line in Huntington, West Virginia
[10:01] and Burlington, Vermont. And we wish
[10:04] them the very best of luck. Our thanks
[10:06] to Vicky Mabberry. And when we come
[10:09] back, a town gripped by fear after a
[10:13] string of arson. And today, a
[10:15] breakthrough in the case.
[10:20] ABC News Night Line brought to you by
[10:23] Erade.
[10:28] >> Ah, this is weak, man. Frank's trying to
[10:31] not pay me my winnings for the skins
[10:33] beat down. I just issued him because his
[10:34] 401k is tanking. It's like, dude, you
[10:37] got to grab the reigns, man. Get E
[10:39] Trade, do some analytics, do some
[10:41] research, and take charge so I don't
[10:43] have to subsidize your lack of golfing
[10:44] skills.
[10:45] >> Then I told you moved your ball,
[10:47] >> Frank. It was on the cart path. Why
[10:49] don't you try reading the rules,
[10:50] Shankotamus?
[10:52] >> Take control with one of the most
[10:53] powerful investing machines there is.
[10:55] Join the thousand new accounts a day at
[10:57] Erade.
[10:58] >> I learned a lot when I found out I had
[11:00] high cholesterol, but I didn't know that
[11:02] it may have led to my erectile
[11:03] dysfunction. That's why my doctor told
[11:05] me about Levitra.
[11:07] >> Certain medical conditions, including
[11:08] high blood pressure, diabetes, and high
[11:10] cholesterol, can decrease blood flow,
[11:12] which may lead to ED.
[11:14] >> That was news to me. My doctor told me
[11:16] Levitra could help. Levitra works by
[11:18] increasing blood flow to help treat ED.
[11:20] >> Levitra works for me. Maybe it can work
[11:23] for you.
[11:24] >> Ask your doctor if you are healthy
[11:26] enough for sexual activity. If you have
[11:28] heart problems or on alpha blocker
[11:29] therapy or have uncontrolled high blood
[11:31] pressure, talk to your doctor before
[11:32] taking Levitra. Do not take Levitra if
[11:35] you take nitrates for chest pains as
[11:36] this may cause an unsafe drop in blood
[11:38] pressure. Side effects may include
[11:40] headache, flushing, and stuffy or runny
[11:42] nose. To avoid long-term injury, seek
[11:44] immediate medical help if you experience
[11:46] an erection lasting longer than 4 hours.
[11:48] If you have any sudden decrease or loss
[11:50] of vision or hearing, stop taking
[11:52] Levitra and call your doctor right away.
[11:54] Ask your doctor if Levitra is right for
[11:57] you.
[11:58] >> Everybody's talking about the economic
[12:00] tsunami. What does that mean to a
[12:02] surfing CEO? Um tsunami in uh surfing is
[12:06] sort of a thrilling prospect but the
[12:08] tsunami in business is uh kind of
[12:10] terrifying and you have to watch the um
[12:12] management of your assets very
[12:14] carefully.
[12:15] >> You know you have to do things at the
[12:16] speed of light these days to stay um
[12:18] ahead of the wolf pack
[12:19] >> right
[12:20] >> and without technology we would be
[12:22] nowhere. It helps you to uh still rip it
[12:25] up.

[12:47] America.
[13:06] Heat.
[13:14] Heat.
[13:27] Your home should be a place of peace and
[13:30] protection from the elements. But for
[13:32] the residents of one steel town in
[13:34] Pennsylvania, when the sun goes down,
[13:36] the fear sets in. Fear that their home
[13:39] could be next. A wave of arson attacks
[13:42] has led parents to sleep in shifts and
[13:45] then calm their nervous children by day.
[13:47] But today, there was an encouraging
[13:49] breakthrough. As our senior justice
[13:51] correspondent, Pierre Thomas now
[13:53] reports.
[13:55] >> Coatsville, Pennsylvania has been
[13:57] burning.
[13:59] Someone is torching the homes of
[14:01] families while they sleep in this
[14:02] workingass steel town.
[14:04] >> They need to do something before they
[14:06] burn this whole town down.
[14:08] >> There have been 18 fires here and five
[14:10] in neighboring communities since
[14:12] January. More than 30 fires in the last
[14:15] year alone. On the night we visited
[14:17] Coatsville, yet another arson targeting
[14:19] a home just outside of town.
[14:22] On every night in Coatville, as darkness
[14:25] falls, the fear begins to set in.
[14:28] Nervous residents are turning the porch
[14:30] lights on. Police patrols are stepped up
[14:32] and exhausted firefighters are on edge,
[14:35] expecting another busy night.
[14:37] >> People are actually in tears, not
[14:39] knowing what to do. They don't feel like
[14:41] they have any place else to go, but they
[14:42] don't feel safe sleeping in their homes.
[14:44] They just feel too vulnerable.
[14:46] >> I'm scared because I don't want it to
[14:49] happen to us.
[14:51] >> At the Double Diner, everyone was
[14:54] reading and talking about the fires.
[14:56] >> She said, "Don't go to Double D's for
[14:58] breakfast." And I said, "But Sarah, you
[14:59] can't live in here." And she she
[15:02] realized she was crying in the car. She
[15:04] really wanted me to stop and and get
[15:05] out. I said, "I'm not going to do it."
[15:07] >> First thing you do when you pick the
[15:08] paper up is uh did anything happen? We
[15:10] talk. Was there any fires? I mean, so
[15:13] it's u it's an elevated situation.
[15:16] >> The children have been writing the
[15:18] police chief begging for help.
[15:20] >> I just wanted to show you this picture
[15:22] uh that I received from a grade school
[15:25] um child and it's heartbreaking because
[15:28] it depicts a a house on fire and you
[15:30] have to stick people in the windows. But
[15:33] um on the to the right you can see this
[15:37] um young person saying help my family. M
[15:41] >> not much left to get.
[15:42] >> Rick Bowman knows the terror full well.
[15:45] What it's like to wake up his children
[15:46] to tell them their neighborhood is on
[15:48] fire.
[15:49] >> It's just a shame.
[15:51] >> Bowman and 49 neighbors were left
[15:53] homeless when arson gutted 15 row houses
[15:56] in this one block.
[15:57] >> It's just so much so much uh destruction
[15:59] that they're doing that you know and you
[16:01] just wonder why why would you want to
[16:03] try to put people out of their homes and
[16:05] you know it's no care of life or
[16:06] anything like that. You know, to have
[16:08] this happen to our homes is just, you
[16:09] know, it's just unbelievable. You know,
[16:11] >> the victims here aren't limited to the
[16:13] the people who are in the structures
[16:15] that were set on fire. This whole
[16:17] community of 11 or 12,000 people is
[16:20] really feeling the results of the terror
[16:22] that's been spread.
[16:25] >> Some sleep with luggage packed, others
[16:28] don't sleep at all. A lot of people like
[16:31] on my block, we've been as a
[16:33] neighborhood sleeping in shifts,
[16:35] watching out our windows, reporting
[16:37] activity. We've been in our cars riding
[16:41] in the neighborhood and keeping an eye
[16:43] out on any kind of activity.
[16:45] >> We'll just put them right on the doors.
[16:47] >> Kareem Johnson and others throughout the
[16:49] city are organizing to protect
[16:50] themselves.
[16:51] >> Nice to see all these porch lights on.
[16:53] >> People are afraid because the arson are
[16:55] random. 75% between the hours of
[16:58] midnight and 6:00 a.m. The arsonist is
[17:01] setting a fire items left on porches
[17:03] vanishing in seconds.
[17:05] >> Whoever may be doing this, I would say
[17:06] that they have a total disregard for the
[17:08] public safety and welfare.
[17:10] >> Frustrated residents are looking over
[17:12] their shoulders and demanding that
[17:14] police end the reign of terror.
[17:16] >> Why can't you find them? WHAT'S GOING
[17:18] ON? WHAT IS going on?
[17:20] >> It's too many fire. He realized there
[17:23] too many of them. The city can't handle
[17:25] this.
[17:26] Why haven't you found him? Um, what are
[17:29] you doing to find the person? Um, many
[17:33] questions about the investigations that
[17:35] we can't answer
[17:37] >> uh for for obvious reasons. Uh, and you
[17:40] know, we have to take into consideration
[17:42] that whatever we say, we're not only we
[17:44] talking to the general public,
[17:46] >> but we're also talking to the arsonist
[17:48] or arsonist. The police chief
[17:50] acknowledges the pressure and said he's
[17:52] praying his residents can get some
[17:54] sleep.
[17:55] >> As it starts to get later in the
[17:56] evening, you know, that's when your
[17:58] anxiety goes up and you just hope that
[17:59] you can get through the night without
[18:01] something happening.
[18:03] >> The town has been desperate for news to
[18:05] ease the fears. Finally, today a break.
[18:08] Word that 19year-old Roger Barlow has
[18:10] been charged with setting as many as
[18:11] nine arson, including the rowhouse fire
[18:14] that displaced all those families.
[18:16] Sources describe Barlo, who is from the
[18:18] local area, as a classic pyromaniac who
[18:21] loved to see things burn.
[18:23] >> Roger Barlo, the defendant in this case
[18:25] that's been charged, his dangerous and
[18:28] risky behavior for the past 48 days and
[18:32] maybe longer, has now been stopped.
[18:35] >> We understand the emotional price tag
[18:37] that the residents of Coatsville have
[18:39] paid. There is no way that we can
[18:41] replace what they have lost. ABC News
[18:44] has learned police also suspect a
[18:46] one-time volunteer firefighter may have
[18:48] been Barlo's accomplice. And authorities
[18:51] warned this investigation is far from
[18:53] over and the town may not yet be
[18:55] completely free of danger.
[18:57] >> This guy's been arrested for nine fires.
[18:59] There's a lot more than nine fires.
[19:01] Somebody committed those fires and the
[19:04] goal of everybody up here is to get
[19:06] every single one of those fires solved.
[19:09] With no suspect yet identified in at
[19:11] least nine other fires, the residents of
[19:14] Coatville, while somewhat relieved, may
[19:17] still be sleeping with one eye open. For
[19:20] Night Line, I'm Pierre Thomas,
[19:22] Coatsville, Pennsylvania. And late
[19:24] tonight, federal authorities announced
[19:26] the arrest of Roger Barlow's accomplice,
[19:28] 20-year-old Mark Gilliam, who does have
[19:30] a history as a volunteer firefighter.
[19:33] Our thanks to Pierre Thomas. And when we
[19:36] come back, we'll return with tonight's
[19:38] sign of the times.
[19:41] >> Thermicare wants to know where does it
[19:43] hurt
[19:44] >> my aching back.
[19:45] >> Target the pain with Thermicare heat
[19:46] wraps. Thermicare is clinically proven
[19:48] to deliver real heat that penetrates
[19:50] deep to relax tight muscles all day. Try
[19:53] Thermicare heat wraps and wear it where
[19:55] it hurts.
[19:56] >> Robbitasen knows one of the reasons we
[19:58] cough is to help clear away mucus.
[20:01] Robbitasen DM Max has a double dose of
[20:03] the medicine that helps clear mucus
[20:05] while also controlling your cough.
[20:07] Robbitasen DM Max, double the strength
[20:09] against mucus for a reason.
[20:12] >> Somewhat reluctant to try lower sodium
[20:14] soup? Try Campbell's Healthy Request
[20:16] Soups. Anyway, all made with lower
[20:18] sodium natural sea salt.

[23:30] Night Line continues from New York City
[23:32] with Martin Basher.
[23:35] Gravity is an inescapable fact of aging
[23:38] and many of us discover an increasing
[23:40] number of lumps and bumps as we get
[23:42] older. But in this hyperbody conscious
[23:45] culture, some men have found that one
[23:47] problem is not always a laughing matter.
[23:49] Indeed, they believe the only answer is
[23:52] a surgical solution. And for Nick Watt,
[23:55] that is a sign of the times.
[24:00] This commercial for a British gym plays
[24:03] on one of man's base fears, man boobs,
[24:07] moves, myths. They offer a solution,
[24:10] exercise. But that will work for only a
[24:13] minor case.
[24:15] >> At the other extreme, you've effectively
[24:17] got a female breast on a male.
[24:20] >> You're carrying a lot of extra baggage
[24:21] up there.
[24:22] >> Up here?
[24:23] >> Oh, yeah. Top floor.
[24:24] >> On Seinfeld, Kramer offered another
[24:27] option. You want me to wear a bra?
[24:29] >> No. No. A bra is for ladies. Meet the
[24:33] bro.
[24:35] >> A Japanese lingerie maker does actually
[24:37] market the bro, but it's aimed at
[24:40] crossdressers. You may laugh, but moves
[24:43] are serious. What do you call it?
[24:46] >> It's called gynecomastia.
[24:47] >> Gynecomastia.
[24:49] >> Yeah.
[24:51] >> I guarantee that right now a lot of you
[24:52] are having a quick feel. Do I have
[24:54] gynecomastia? Do I? I know. I've been
[24:58] checking myself all day.
[25:00] >> There are two types of mood. The first
[25:03] caused by a hormonal imbalance.
[25:06] >> Maybe just enough to trigger a little
[25:08] bit of development of breast tissue.
[25:10] Once it's formed, it never goes away.
[25:12] >> Really?
[25:13] >> Yeah.
[25:13] >> The other cause, obesity. Wobble wobble
[25:16] wobble.
[25:16] >> Once you put weight on and you've kind
[25:19] of stretched your skin out, when you
[25:22] lose the weight, you're still left with
[25:24] a bit of
[25:26] Marius Müller lost 252 lbs but was left
[25:31] with breasts.
[25:32] >> So you'll walk down the street and
[25:34] they'll say um get a bra mate or um look
[25:37] he's got
[25:39] >> Marius spent nearly $10,000 getting rid
[25:42] of his moves.
[25:44] >> It's a bit expensive but
[25:47] >> but every penny
[25:49] >> in 2007 more than $20,000 American men
[25:53] had the operation. That's up a
[25:55] staggering 80% from just a decade ago.
[25:58] Why the increase? Well, the paparazzi
[26:01] trained to chase the female form have
[26:03] found a new quarry in the celebrity
[26:06] move. Mocking like this and serious
[26:09] reality TV shows like this have
[26:12] increased awareness.
[26:13] >> What we're going to be trying to
[26:14] accomplish with liposuction is
[26:16] flattening some of your chest. And I
[26:18] think
[26:18] >> What was your reaction when you found
[26:19] out that, you know, you could be helped?
[26:21] >> I was stunned. I was really stunned.
[26:24] Now, there's even a website celebrating
[26:27] the man boo. Before you go and sleep too
[26:30] easy in your bed, take a look and
[26:32] remember that in old age, one in three
[26:35] men will suffer breast enlargement. So,
[26:38] don't laugh too hard at this poor guy.
[26:41] If it happens to you, it ain't funny.
[26:43] I'm Nick Watt for Night Line in London.
[26:46] >> Not funny. And I think I'll try the gym
[26:48] before opting for surgery. Our thanks to
[26:50] Nick Watt. And when we come back, the
[26:53] billionaire banker accused in a massive
[26:55] investment scam is found. But how safe
[26:58] is your money? It's the subject of
[26:59] tonight's closing argument.
[27:05] >> I got the call about hosting the Oscars.
[27:07] I actually haven't stopped wearing this.
[27:09] I don't want to give too much away, but
[27:10] there's a twist this year.

[31:46] New at 6. Planning on heading to Mexico

[31:50] you should know. The government's
[31:51] warning tourists to be careful in border
[31:53] towns because of drug cartel violence.
[31:57] >> Yeah, I haven't been down shopping for a
[31:58] long time just because, well, we'd heard
[32:01] about the shootings six months or so
[32:02] ago.

[32:16] fit in a zookeeper's hand. Nairobi and
[32:19] Zanzibar. Born in late January, they're
[32:21] actually now three times their birth
[32:23] weight. The Mircats are putting on
[32:25] weight with a steady diet of worms,
[32:28] cockroaches, crickets, and maggots.
[32:31] They also eat mice and small reptiles,
[32:33] in case you're wondering.
[32:35] >> I wasn't. Nightly News is straight ahead
[32:37] tonight. Could some major banks be taken
[32:39] over by the government. And what would
[32:41] that mean for your checking or savings
[32:42] account?

[32:48] And we're back in one half hour.
[32:51] I was sad.
