[0:02] The House bank scandal hits President

[0:04] Bush's inner circle. Three cabinet

[0:07] secretaries admit they bounce checks.

[0:11] Building evidence from the government

[0:12] that officially the recession may be

[0:15] over and eye on America tonight. Lost

[0:19] and found. 50,000 auto workers lost

[0:23] their jobs and now they're trying to

[0:25] find some answers that could affect all

[0:27] of us. This is the CBS Evening News.

[0:36] Good evening, Dan Rather with a special

[0:37] western edition from CBS News election

[0:39] headquarters in New York. A pivotal

[0:42] night in the presidential campaign

[0:43] primaries in Michigan and Illinois. Bill

[0:46] Clinton takes two of two in the

[0:48] industrial Midwest to get a solid hold

[0:51] on first place in the Democratic race.

[0:54] Doesn't mean he's got the nomination.

[0:55] does mean he now has a very good chance

[0:58] to get it. President Bush slams the

[1:00] brakes on the Pat Buchanan protest

[1:01] surge. Let's take a look. First, the

[1:04] Democrats in Michigan. Bill Clinton far

[1:05] and away ahead. Looking at Clinton's

[1:07] tail lights at a distance in number two

[1:09] is Jerry Brown. Then in third place in

[1:12] Michigan, Paul Sonis in Illinois, Bill

[1:14] Clinton way, way out number one. Sis

[1:17] second way back in Illinois. And Brown

[1:20] running third there. Now on the

[1:22] Republican side, back to Michigan.

[1:23] President Bush holds down the Buchanan

[1:25] protest vote and wins there. Same story

[1:28] in Illinois where Buchanan fails to

[1:30] improve on his past showings. Got a

[1:32] substantial vote but President Bush

[1:33] sweeps to victory in Illinois. Covering

[1:36] this big political story tonight are CBS

[1:38] News correspondents Richard Thrrell in

[1:40] Chicago and Susan Spencer at the White

[1:41] House. First, Richard Thrrell in Chicago

[1:44] covering the Democrats. Who's up, who's

[1:46] down, and why? Richard Dan, the Bill

[1:50] Clinton key to victory in these two

[1:52] states, Michigan and Illinois tonight

[1:54] are in the numbers from our exit polls

[1:56] of voters.

[2:00] Clinton managed once again here in the

[2:02] Midwest to forge the same winning

[2:03] coalition that won him victories last

[2:06] week in the South. In Michigan today, he

[2:08] won threearters of the black vote and he

[2:11] did equally well among black voters in

[2:13] Illinois. But he also captured half of

[2:15] the blue collar vote and about half of

[2:18] union households in Michigan. More than

[2:20] half of union households in Illinois

[2:22] were Clinton voters. Jerry Brown spent

[2:25] the past week stumping in Michigan for

[2:26] the labor vote, but it was not enough.

[2:29] He only got about a third of the vote of

[2:31] union households. Clinton got fully half

[2:33] of them. Brown is emerging, however, as

[2:35] a protest candidate. Six of 10 brown

[2:38] voters in the two states said they were

[2:40] worse off financially under George Bush.

[2:43] Paul Singus, who finished third in

[2:45] Michigan and a distant second in

[2:46] Illinois, obviously came to the wrong

[2:49] place to try to spread his pro business

[2:51] message. The only voter group he

[2:53] captured in either state was that of

[2:55] voters making more than $75,000 a year.

[2:58] An index of how nasty this campaign has

[3:01] become, more than half of voters in

[3:03] Michigan, said the candidates spent more

[3:05] time attacking each other than

[3:06] explaining the issues.

[3:08] >> Hi, Tom. Thanks so much.

[3:10] >> One other note about Bill Clinton. he

[3:12] has to thank for his victory in Illinois

[3:14] the Chicago Democratic machine which he

[3:17] spent the last year cultivating the

[3:19] machine politicians who still have their

[3:21] doubts about Clinton's electability

[3:23] nonetheless canvas the neighborhoods for

[3:25] Clinton and if the machine mentions a

[3:26] candidate's name in Chicago that is

[3:29] usually enough

[3:31] so tomorrow Bill Clinton heads home to

[3:33] Little Rock with close to half the

[3:34] delegates he needs for the nomination in

[3:36] his pocket Jerry Brown a second place in

[3:39] Michigan keeps on trucking to Wisconsin

[3:41] and Connecticut. Paul Sanis must now

[3:43] look to New York 3 weeks from tonight in

[3:45] a primary that could be for Paul Sanis

[3:48] do or die. Dan

[3:49] >> Richard in Chicago. Thanks. Note that an

[3:52] incumbent Democratic senator Alan Dixon

[3:55] is in a very tight race in the primary.

[3:58] That may be one of tomorrow's sub

[4:00] headlines. Now about President Bush's

[4:02] primary sweep and the surprise political

[4:04] curve his Finn controllers didn't count

[4:07] on. the admission today by several

[4:09] members of the Bush cabinet that they

[4:12] too bounced checks at the House bank

[4:14] when they were serving in Congress. More

[4:15] now from Susan Spencer at the White

[4:17] House. Susan,

[4:18] >> Dan, the president has just released a

[4:20] statement in the last few minutes in

[4:21] which he thanks the people of Michigan

[4:23] and Illinois who voted for him. And he

[4:26] goes on to say, "The voters of Michigan

[4:27] and Illinois have endorsed my approach

[4:30] to change in America. Nonetheless, the

[4:32] vote today does still reflect some

[4:35] protests. For example, in Illinois, only

[4:38] a quarter of Buchanan supporters say

[4:40] they strongly favor Buchanan. More than

[4:43] a third frankly said they are just

[4:45] voting against Mr. Bush. Meanwhile, as

[4:48] you mentioned, the president's plan to

[4:49] campaign against Congress got something

[4:51] of a jolt today as the House rubber

[4:54] check scandal bounced right into the

[4:56] administration.

[4:58] >> Half an hour with you. Defense Secretary

[5:00] Dick Cheney was the first of three Bush

[5:02] cabinet members to fess up, admitting he

[5:05] too bounced checks when a member of

[5:07] Congress. Cheney said he was shocked

[5:09] when bank records showed overdraft.

[5:12] >> As recently as last Thursday night, I

[5:14] was still telling jokes about the uh

[5:18] House Bank.

[5:19] >> Along with the defense secretary, who

[5:20] had 25 overdrafts, other former

[5:23] representatives not joking today, labor

[5:25] secretary Lynn Martin, 16 overdrafts.

[5:28] She was so contrite she donated $425,

[5:32] the equivalent of bank penalties, to a

[5:34] local charity. And last, but not least,

[5:37] a secretary Ed Madigan. 49 overdrafts,

[5:41] one for over $8,000. He called it an

[5:44] embarrassment, and all three blamed the

[5:46] House bank's sloppy recordkeeping. If I

[5:49] had had any inkling

[5:53] that um we needed a higher minimum

[5:56] balance in the account, it it was

[5:58] literally the work of five minutes to

[5:59] fix it.

[6:00] >> Meanwhile, a suddenly charitable Mr.

[6:02] Bush, whose staff has delighted in the

[6:04] Democrats agony over the bank, insisted

[6:06] any mistake Cheney made must have been

[6:08] inadvertent.

[6:10] >> Let's get the facts out and then I think

[6:12] the American people are very smart. they

[6:14] will be able to make a determination as

[6:16] to what was wrongdoing and who were

[6:18] simply victims of a of a system that

[6:21] obviously uh has failed everybody.

[6:25] >> But the president said he's even

[6:26] checking his own records for his time in

[6:28] Congress. And challenger Pat Buchanan,

[6:31] hard pressed to top this story, called

[6:33] again for a special prosecutor. If

[6:35] >> I have been a White House aid and I

[6:37] bounced 900 checks on a White House

[6:39] bank, my lawyer and I would be over at

[6:41] the Justice Department the next morning.

[6:42] could be a special prosecutor like that.

[6:45] >> Pat Buchanan's days of criticism may be

[6:47] numbered. He's going to have a press

[6:48] conference tomorrow morning and he's

[6:49] expected to say that while he is not

[6:51] pulling out of the campaign, he will

[6:53] scale back. He will stop attacking the

[6:55] president and talk more substantively

[6:57] about issues to which the White House

[6:59] says we'll see. Dan

[7:01] >> Susan Spencer at the White House.

[7:02] Thanks. This CBS station will bring you

[7:04] updates on the Illinois and Michigan

[7:06] primaries throughout the evening. And

[7:08] we'll wrap up all the results in a CBS

[7:10] news special right after your late local

[7:13] news. The presidential election this

[7:15] year could very well hinge on the

[7:17] economy. And there are some signs

[7:19] tonight that the economy may indeed be

[7:22] improving. More about that now from

[7:24] correspondent Mark Phillips.

[7:30] There's a happy sound being heard across

[7:32] the land.

[7:36] The sound of work. New housing starts

[7:38] were up almost 10% last month to their

[7:41] highest level in 2 years up to where

[7:43] they were when the recession started.

[7:45] Could these be the sounds of real

[7:47] recovery?

[7:48] >> The way housing goes has a major impact

[7:50] in terms of the way the rest of the

[7:52] economy goes. Uh, it's 5% of the GMPP,

[7:55] but it's a part of the economy that can

[7:57] move up quickly or it can move down

[7:59] quickly,

[8:00] >> which is what it did a year ago after

[8:01] the Gulf War when what looked like a

[8:04] boom soon fizzled. But there are other

[8:06] reasons today to take heart. Automobile

[8:08] and truck manufacturing was up almost

[8:10] 12%. In fact, all factory output was up

[8:14] after months of decline. All this while

[8:16] prices rose only 3/10en of a percent,

[8:19] creating the conditions for the best of

[8:20] all worlds, growth and low inflation. At

[8:23] least that's what the workers are

[8:25] hoping.

[8:25] >> It's a blessing, that's for sure,

[8:26] because we've uh everybody has probably

[8:28] at one time or another been laid off

[8:30] within the past 2 years.

[8:31] >> But the question behind all this

[8:33] activity is, is this just the result of

[8:35] lower prices, lower interest rates, and

[8:37] a possible tax break, or is this really

[8:40] a sign that things are getting better?

[8:42] The answer is it's too soon to tell.

[8:44] Well, I think there's a great deal of

[8:46] suspicion that the numbers are a

[8:49] reflection of special factors such as

[8:52] the uh warmest winter thus far uh in 97

[8:57] years.

[8:57] >> We we need to talk about three or four

[9:00] more months of sustained from now I

[9:02] think to really decide.

[9:05] >> Still there are sounds in the air that

[9:07] have been missing for some time. The

[9:09] sounds of tentative careful optimism.

[9:13] Mark Phillips, CBS News, Washington.

[9:15] >> Still ahead on tonight's CBS Evening

[9:17] News, a deadly stabbing spree in the

[9:20] streets of Israel. And in this country,

[9:22] lives on the line. We'll have the story

[9:25] and the dramatic pictures.

[9:36] Draw from the facts.

[9:38] There's a way to maintain regularity

[9:41] without drugs.

[9:44] It starts here. A high-fiber diet, which

[9:47] can include Kellogg's all brand, an

[9:49] excellent source of wheat brand fiber,

[9:51] may help you stay regular, drug-free,

[9:54] and there's a lot to be said for that

[9:56] naturally.

[9:59] A high-fiber diet and Kellogg's Allbrand

[10:01] for drug-free regularity.

[10:04] From the frigid North Atlantic to the

[10:06] treacherous waters of New Zealand, from

[10:09] oceans all over the world comes red

[10:11] lobsters, worlds of lobster. Now,

[10:15] succulent rock lobster, petite deep sea

[10:18] lobster, sweet Maine lobster in

[10:21] delicious combinations and at special

[10:23] prices you'll think the world of. Hurry

[10:26] in now because this spectacular event

[10:28] ends soon. Red Lobsters, World of

[10:32] Lobster.

[10:36] A huge explosion, apparently caused by a

[10:38] bomb, shattered the Israeli embassy in

[10:40] Argentina today. At least 10 people

[10:43] killed, 95 injured. Rescuers say more

[10:46] could be trapped in the rubble. The

[10:48] president of Argentina blamed what he

[10:49] called, and I quote, "the remains of

[10:51] Nazism." Argentina has a large German

[10:54] population. Many fled there after World

[10:56] War II. Argentina also has a small Arab

[10:59] population and the largest Jewish

[11:01] community in Latin America. Earlier in

[11:04] the day in Israel, an Arab man walked

[11:06] into a crowd of Jews and began flailing

[11:08] with a sword. Two people were killed

[11:11] before police shot the attacker.

[11:13] Correspondent Bob Simon in Israel has

[11:15] that story.

[11:16] >> He had two bullets in his head but was

[11:18] still alive at the scene of the crime. A

[11:20] crowd of enraged Israelis wanted to

[11:22] change that quickly. Don't treat him,

[11:25] kill him, they shouted as he was carried

[11:27] to the ambulance. Israeli soldiers were

[11:29] needed to prevent that from happening.

[11:31] He died in hospital an hour later. He

[11:34] was a 22-year-old Palestinian from the

[11:36] Gaza Strip, a member of Hamas, the

[11:38] Islamic fundamentalist movement, which

[11:41] rejects peace talks which rejects

[11:43] Israel. He wandered into a group of high

[11:45] school students mainly brandishing a

[11:47] sword and a knife. As he was murdering a

[11:50] 19-year-old girl, a 44 year old Israeli

[11:53] Arab tried to help her and was killed as

[11:55] well. Then the Palestinian went on a

[11:58] stabbing spree, knifing 20 children

[12:00] before policemen shot him down. The kids

[12:03] were about to go to a party celebrating

[12:05] Purim, a Jewish holiday where people

[12:08] dress up in costumes. They thought this

[12:10] tall man wearing Arab headgear was one

[12:13] of the revelers. A minute later, I saw

[12:15] that something real is going on and it

[12:18] was 2 m from me. So, I just ran as fast

[12:22] as I could. Police combed Jaffa for

[12:24] accompllices while the government tried

[12:26] to explain what had happened, tried to

[12:29] find an answer for the girl who wanted

[12:31] to know why did he do it, why

[12:34] >> obviously there are desperate attempts

[12:36] to sabotage the peace process. We are

[12:38] committed to the peace process and we'll

[12:39] do everything in our capacity to enhance

[12:41] the peace process. But while those peace

[12:43] talks flutter on and off, the conflict

[12:45] on the ground is getting more deadly all

[12:47] the time. What was once called an

[12:49] antifatum is coming increasingly to

[12:51] resemble a war. Bob Simon, CBS News,

[12:56] Japa. President Bush today rejected a

[12:59] congressional compromise on the issue of

[13:01] new loan guarantees for Israel. Israeli

[13:04] officials say they've now been forced to

[13:06] be ready to give up the request. Mr.

[13:08] Bush refused to back down from his

[13:10] condition for co-signing the loans and

[13:12] that is that Israel stopped building

[13:14] settlements in occupied territory

[13:18] from around the world. Now more CBS

[13:20] news. Turnout was heavy in South Africa

[13:22] as whites voted on whether to go ahead

[13:24] with reforms aimed at sharing power with

[13:27] the black majority. Both whites and

[13:29] blacks are predicting violence if the

[13:31] reforms are rejected. In northern Japan,

[13:34] more than a 100 vehicles piled up on a

[13:36] frozen highway. Two people were killed,

[13:39] 70 injured. The wreckage was scattered

[13:41] over half a mile. And in New York City,

[13:44] Irish, gays, and lesbians put on a pre-

[13:47] parade demonstration, but they were

[13:48] barred from the main march up Fifth

[13:50] Avenue, the nation's biggest St.

[13:52] Patrick's Day parade. There is more news

[13:55] straight ahead, including protesters

[13:57] seeing red in Moscow, angry calls to

[14:00] turn back the clock.

[14:08] This is regular. This is better. This

[14:10] bufferin is regular for headaches.

[14:12] Anisonin is better. Why better? Regular

[14:15] bufferin has one ingredient. Anisonin

[14:17] has two. A pain medicine plus a second

[14:19] ingredient that makes it work better.

[14:21] Get anison. Get better.

[14:23] >> The formula was developed by a surgeon.

[14:25] Now from the makers of doctor

[14:26] recommended Preparation Age, new

[14:28] soothing alcohol-free preparation age

[14:32] refresh after hemorrhoid attacks. New

[14:34] cleansing tissues from the makers of

[15:11] >> This plant is in trouble.

[15:14] Maybe so are you.

[15:19] Because what will you do?

[15:22] And how will you do it

[15:28] with the one who guides you every step

[15:31] of the way?

[15:33] Ortho.

[15:34] It's our nature to help.

[15:38] You might think hard times can't touch

[15:40] your family. That's what they thought.

[15:43] How would you hang on to your American

[15:45] dream? 48 hours Wednesday.

[15:50] Moscow is trying to reassure the world

[15:52] again that former Soviet nuclear weapons

[15:54] are still under central control. A

[15:56] spokesman for the Commonwealth of

[15:58] Independent States insisted today that

[16:00] all the missiles are accounted for. He

[16:03] denied a report in a German magazine

[16:05] that some nuclear weapons had been sold

[16:08] to Iran. Some diehard communists tried

[16:10] to bring the Soviet Union back from

[16:12] oblivion today, calling a mass rally and

[16:15] a meeting of the defunct Soviet

[16:16] parliament. From Moscow, correspondent

[16:18] Anthony Mason has our report.

[16:23] >> The communists had called out all the

[16:25] old faithful. The rally near Red Square

[16:27] tonight was meant to be a test of

[16:29] strength, a show of growing force to

[16:31] shock Boris Yelton. But Yelson's

[16:34] government may have been more worried by

[16:36] another political gathering. An attempt

[16:38] today to reconvene the disbanded Soviet

[16:41] legislature, the Congress of People's

[16:43] Deputies. The 2200 member Congress

[16:46] officially folded in December. But early

[16:48] this morning, in the lobby of the Moscow

[16:50] Hotel, journalists and deputies were

[16:52] given a top secret location.

[16:56] >> Hadulk 45 minutes outside of Moscow and

[16:59] the Odyssey began. a few bus loads of

[17:02] defiant communist deputies looking for a

[17:04] place to revive the old Soviet Union.

[17:07] But at Fedulk City Hall, the welcome mat

[17:09] was not waiting.

[17:10] >> They have never been invited and uh they

[17:12] have we we have never been asked to

[17:14] receive them.

[17:15] >> So on the buses pushed further into the

[17:17] Russian countryside. Finally, in the

[17:20] village of Boronova, the desperate

[17:21] deputies found a meeting hall. It just

[17:24] didn't have any lights. Candles in hand,

[17:26] they convened their congress and

[17:28] proclaimed the Commonwealth illegal. But

[17:30] it was a pathetic showing. Fewer than

[17:33] 200 Soviet deputies sitting in the dark.

[17:35] >> From the whole entire Congress of

[17:37] people's deputy, at least 10% are crazy.

[17:40] 10% is about 200.

[17:44] >> Tonight's highly promoted protest drew

[17:46] an equally disappointing crowd. Despite

[17:48] widespread fears of a red storm rising,

[17:51] the communists failed today on two

[17:53] fronts. Anthony Mason, CBS News, Moscow.

[17:57] Next up here on the CBS Evening News Eye

[17:59] on America. Tonight, the heartbeat of an

[18:01] American city. Now barely a murmur.

[18:10] This was me with dull gray hair. I

[18:13] looked washed up. Then I found a whole

[18:15] new way to make my gray look great.

[18:17] >> Introducing a new kind of shampoo from

[18:19] the makers of Just for Men Hair Care

[18:22] called Greatlooking Gray. Greatl looking

[18:24] gray does more than clean and condition.

[18:27] It gets rid of the dullness, even yellow

[18:29] buildup brings out the real silver. What

[18:32] a difference it makes. New greatl

[18:35] looking gray shampoo. And for stubborn

[18:37] yellow, new greatl looking gray anti-

[18:39] yellow treatment.

[18:41] >> How many times I told my dad to see a

[18:43] doctor? He was stubborn,

[18:47] but the pain in his stomach just

[18:49] wouldn't go away. He had to go.

[18:53] You should have seen the relief on his

[18:54] face when the doctor said Milanta.

[18:57] He said it was indigestion and his kind

[18:59] of indigestion needed strong medicine.

[19:01] Milanta is strong medicine. Strongly

[19:04] recommended. In fact, Milanta is the ant

[19:06] acid doctors recommend most.

[19:08] >> My doctor said myanta

[19:12] >> $12 for every mile over the limit.

[19:14] >> That's 300 bucks.

[19:16] >> You can add fast, too. Next. To send

[19:18] someone money fast, call 1800 call or

[19:21] come to any Western Union location.

[19:56] in critical condition. Its lifeblood is

[19:59] drying up and the fear is that what's

[20:02] ailing this city could become an

[20:04] epidemic around the country.

[20:06] Correspondent Eric Inber reports

[20:08] tonight's Eye on America.

[20:10] Pat Baird works in a General Motors

[20:12] plant in Flint, Michigan, just as his

[20:15] father and grandfather before him did.

[20:18] For those like him who came into the

[20:19] workforce when America's heavy

[20:21] industries were the envy of the world, a

[20:23] job at GM was security.

[20:26] >> I figured that once I hired in there

[20:28] that I would work there and until I

[20:30] retired.

[20:31] >> Three weeks ago, that security was

[20:33] stripped away with one stark

[20:35] announcement from GM. The Flint engine

[20:38] plant, where he and 4,000 others work,

[20:40] will be shut down. Pat and his wife

[20:43] Karen now worry about taking care of

[20:45] their two girls. Without the highpaying

[20:48] industrial jobs they see disappearing

[20:50] all around them.

[20:51] >> If they continue closing plants down in

[20:53] Flint, just our plant alone is over

[20:55] 4,000 people. Uh, who's going to buy my

[20:57] homes?

[20:58] >> What are these people going to do? There

[21:00] are a lot of line workers who aren't

[21:02] aren't skilled at anything. What are

[21:04] these people going to do? As the

[21:06] birthplace of GM, Flint once glowed with

[21:09] the energy of building cars. Then the

[21:11] plant shut down one by one until 50,000

[21:15] jobs were gone.

[21:16] >> I've seen this city just go right down

[21:19] from something to nothing. I remember

[21:21] when I was a little boy. Everybody came

[21:24] downtown.

[21:25] Downtown Flint was huge.

[21:27] >> 72year-old Pete Panels, owner of the

[21:30] Wooden Keg Tavern and Autoworkers

[21:32] hangout, saw it all happen. Like now

[21:34] what's

[21:35] >> Oh, downtown is dead.

[21:37] >> The effect of losing so many good jobs

[21:39] worked its way through Flint like a

[21:40] poison. Many people left, undermining

[21:43] the tax base. There were once five

[21:45] elementary schools in this part of town.

[21:48] Now there is only one.

[21:50] >> The fear that now grips many Americans

[21:52] is that there will be more Flint, more

[21:54] jobs gone forever as America loses its

[21:58] industrial base. And when you close down

[22:00] your automobile industry in the United

[22:02] States, you're going to lose your steel

[22:04] industry, your rubber industry, you're

[22:06] going to lose your glass industry.

[22:08] Thousands and thousands of jobs

[22:12] at UAW Local 659 in Flint, which

[22:15] represents the 4,000 workers whose plant

[22:17] is being closed. They were hit where

[22:20] they live. And these workers are in a

[22:22] very protectionist mood.

[22:25] >> I don't mind free trade as long as it's

[22:27] fair trade. But how many American cars

[22:29] do you see over there in Japan? How many

[22:31] of our products do you see over there?

[22:32] We can't even sell rice over there.

[22:34] >> We've watched the uh electronic industry

[22:36] disappear from this country. We watched

[22:38] the clothing industry disappear from

[22:39] this country. And now it's now it's our

[22:42] turn.

[22:42] >> What do you think will happen if we keep

[22:44] going the way we're going now?

[22:46] Countryy's going to go broke.

[22:48] It's going to go broke. Who's going to

[22:50] pay the taxes?

[22:51] Part of the answer can be found here at

[22:54] Modern Engineering near Detroit, where

[22:56] one-time assembly line workers are

[22:58] retrained to work with the very latest

[23:00] in computer and laser technology to turn

[23:03] out prototype models for the car

[23:05] industry. The firm's president, Ralph

[23:08] Miller, believes the US government must

[23:10] adopt a policy of outright support for

[23:13] the crucial threatened industries so

[23:15] they can afford the newest in

[23:16] technology. If we cannot figure out how

[23:19] to run worldclass manufacturing

[23:22] enterprises in America, we're going to

[23:25] end up a colony to someone.

[23:27] >> Pressure for the government to actively

[23:28] help American industries compete in the

[23:31] world is now growing as refugees from

[23:33] the hardhit sectors like autos see their

[23:36] standard of living decline.

[23:38] >> These people in these plants are good

[23:41] people. They're not lazy. Some of them

[23:43] have young children. They have to worry

[23:46] about raising. They have homes they have

[23:48] to pay for. And they are scared.

[23:51] >> The message from Flint shuttered plants

[23:54] is that a country which loses the

[23:55] ability to make things has lost not only

[23:58] jobs but part of its soul. And this

[24:00] country is letting its future slip away.

[24:03] In Flint, Michigan, this is Eric Angberg

[24:05] for Eye on America.

[24:15] Where do you want to be in 20 years?

[24:18] Well, my father worked for the same

[24:20] company for 39 years. He got 2 weeks

[24:23] vacation, but we never traveled far. He

[24:26] was saving to put three kids through

[24:27] college. At 65, he retired. At 67,

[24:32] he died.

[24:34] How can I invest so that after my kids

[24:37] graduate, I can enjoy the second half of

[24:39] my life? You can get there from here

[24:42] with Shir Leman brothers.

[24:46] >> Your breakfast, sir.

[24:48] >> This new Kellogg's Frosted Brand is

[24:50] quite sensible. Crispy flakes with whole

[24:53] wheat and brine slightly frosted for a

[24:55] taste.

[24:56] >> A taste that delicious. I love it. I

[25:00] love it.

[25:02] I love it. And new Kellogg's Frosted

[25:05] Brand has less sugar than you'd imagine,

[25:07] but the taste is out of

[25:10] >> We've got to stop serving. New Kellogg's

[25:12] Frosted Brand. Wildly delicious.

[25:14] Sensibly good.

[25:17] >> Fingerman on location for the one and

[25:19] only Zip Lock.

[25:21] Freezer burn. That's a chilling thought.

[25:23] To protect your food, there is nothing

[25:25] like Ziplock brand freezer bag. Ziplock

[25:28] has a gripper zipper. The only bag with

[25:30] tough, tiny teeth. You can feel it

[25:32] cripping, so you know freshness is

[25:33] locked in, freezer burns locked out.

[25:36] That's a good feeling you only get from

[25:38] Zip Lock. I got to get some gloves.

[25:42] For fresh food, there's only one Ziplo.

[25:46] It's nothing serious. Only wakes me up a

[25:49] couple of times a week. It really

[25:51] doesn't affect me. I avoid foods that

[25:53] are fried or spicy. I can deal with it.

[25:57] I just take ant acids. If you have

[25:59] frequent heartburn symptoms like acid

[26:00] indigestion or burning in the chest,

[26:02] talk to your doctor. These may be signs

[26:04] of a serious medical problem. Your

[26:06] doctor has treatment plans that can

[26:08] help.

[26:08] >> It's only a heartburn. I should learn to

[26:10] live with it,

[26:12] >> right?

[26:13] >> Frequent heartburn. Isn't it time you

[26:15] talk to your doctor?

[26:18] >> We take you now to California for a wild

[26:21] ride. Bill Lagatuda has the story, the

[26:24] incredible pictures, and the ride of a

[26:26] hairraising helicopter rescue that

[26:29] almost spun out of control.

[26:32] When the sheriff's helicopter arrived at

[26:34] the wreckage of the small plane, it

[26:35] looked like it would be the kind of

[26:37] rescue the crew had performed many

[26:39] times. But when the victim with a broken

[26:41] leg was strapped into a gurnie, a

[26:43] paramedic attached to the line with him,

[26:46] this is what began to happen.

[26:50] The spinning kept on going. It was

[26:52] getting to the point where it was so

[26:54] fast I was having a hard time hanging on

[26:56] to the basket.

[26:59] >> This is the actual one. This is the one

[27:01] that that saved me here.

[27:03] >> Carlos Mahia, the paramedic, said there

[27:05] was no danger of falling. He and the

[27:07] patient were buckled on tight. But

[27:10] >> the patient at that time was obviously

[27:12] screaming. He was going, "What's going

[27:14] on here?" And I was trying to yell at

[27:16] him saying, "We'll be okay." You know,

[27:19] I'm not sure how, but we'll be okay.

[27:22] I've never had one spin like this one.

[27:24] And and we are very concerned. We are

[27:25] >> Jim Singley was the chopper pilot who

[27:27] had to get the man on the ground

[27:29] quickly.

[27:29] >> And spinning like he was, he could have

[27:31] caught a tree limb and broke an arm or a

[27:33] leg. The only option we had was to get

[27:35] him to the flattest spot possible. And I

[27:37] go, "Good. It's almost over." And

[27:40] unfortunately, it wasn't because then we

[27:42] started spinning again. Deputies think

[27:44] this happened because the basket was

[27:45] rigged improperly combined with winds

[27:48] from the helicopter blades. Finally,

[27:50] after two harrowing minutes, 84 dizzying

[27:53] turns, rescuer and victim landed with no

[27:56] new injuries. We just said, "Whoa, what

[27:59] a ride." Bill Agatuda, CBS News, Los
