[0:01] Good evening. This is the CBS Evening

[0:03] News. Bob Schiffer reporting. Four days

[0:05] ago, Wisconsin Democrats voted in a

[0:07] non-binding presidential primary and

[0:09] Gary Hart won it. But today, the contest

[0:11] was for real as Wisconsin voters held

[0:14] caucuses around the state to actually

[0:16] select 78 of the delegates who will go

[0:18] to the Democratic nominating convention

[0:20] this summer. And today, this is the

[0:22] story. With 40% of the caucuses

[0:26] reporting in, Walter Montdale has a

[0:28] commanding lead. Th 63%. Gary Hart has

[0:31] 29%, Jesse Jackson 6%. 2% remain

[0:35] uncommitted. Ironically, about 900,000

[0:39] voters participated in the non-binding

[0:41] primary. Today, only about 30,000

[0:43] Democrats took part in the caucuses

[0:45] where the actual delegate selection was

[0:47] being made. We have report on today's

[0:49] developments and how they came about

[0:51] from Ned Potter in Madison. To many

[0:53] people, the Wisconsin caucus was as much

[0:55] delay as democracy.

[0:57] >> But the problem is that the line is

[0:59] outside may take another hour to 45

[1:02] minutes or so to uh register.

[1:04] >> A whole state party was learning a whole

[1:06] new system. Most people against their

[1:08] will.

[1:09] >> No one I know cares for. I never knew

[1:11] what a caucus was. I had to ask about it

[1:14] the other day. Isn't that awful?

[1:15] >> Wisconsin was a primary state until now.

[1:18] And unlike elsewhere, people could go

[1:20] into the booth and vote Republican or

[1:21] Democratic regardless of any past

[1:23] affiliation. The Democratic National

[1:26] Committee objected.

[1:27] >> Democrats shouldn't meddle in the

[1:30] Republican nomination process and

[1:32] Republicans shouldn't meddle in the

[1:34] Democratic presidential process.

[1:36] >> The case got to the Supreme Court and

[1:38] the National Party won. So today,

[1:40] Wisconsin held its first Democratic

[1:42] caucus in 70 years. Still grumbling. I

[1:46] think the arguments of the Democratic

[1:47] Committee, National Committee are bogus.

[1:49] I think that they have an itch to

[1:50] regulate without regard to what they're

[1:53] doing and in our state, they've hurt our

[1:55] party. The real irony is that in the

[1:57] early 1900s, it was this man,

[1:59] Wisconsin's Robert Lefallet, who

[2:01] championed the presidential primary.

[2:03] Before then, there had only been

[2:05] caucuses, and LFAL argued, "We must open

[2:08] the process to the people." Today,

[2:10] Bronson Lefaled carries on his family's

[2:13] progressive banner. If your grandfather

[2:15] were alive today, what would he be

[2:17] doing?

[2:20] >> I think he would be um leading a march

[2:24] on Washington right now.

[2:26] >> Yesterday, the Democratic contenders

[2:28] marched on Wisconsin, each asking for

[2:30] support and Gary Hart making passing

[2:33] reference to the local Democrats

[2:35] dilemma.

[2:36] You have the opportunity in the caucuses

[2:38] tomorrow to continue that great

[2:40] tradition and hopefully very soon with

[2:44] my support as president to restore your

[2:46] open primary.

[2:48] >> The fact is that Wisconsin held a

[2:49] non-binding primary Tuesday with

[2:52] heartbeating Montdale 46% to 43. The

[2:55] people have already spoken, said a man

[2:57] online. The caucus is a step backward.

[3:01] Ned Potter, CBS News, Madison,

[3:03] Wisconsin.

[3:04] Even before the polls opened as in

[3:07] Wisconsin today, the candidates had

[3:08] already beat it back to Pennsylvania

[3:10] where 172 delegates will be at stake

[3:12] Tuesday in the primary there. Walter

[3:15] Montdale visited a food bank organized

[3:17] by the United Mine Workers at St.

[3:19] Michael, Pennsylvania.

[3:22] Jerry Hart went shopping for boats and

[3:24] vegetables at an Italian market in

[3:26] Philadelphia.

[3:29] and Jesse Jackson flew in this morning

[3:31] and barnstorm through Ferrell and the

[3:33] western part of the state. The Democrats

[3:36] have been getting most of the attention

[3:37] lately because the Republicans obviously

[3:39] know who their candidate is going to be.

[3:41] But that does not mean the Republicans

[3:42] haven't been busy. They have, and it's

[3:44] something that they haven't given much

[3:46] effort to in recent years, voter

[3:49] registration. We have more on that from

[3:50] Deborah Potter.

[3:52] >> It's been 12 years since the Republicans

[3:54] last mounted a drive like this. And for

[3:56] most of the volunteers who left Reagan

[3:58] Bush headquarters in Washington this

[4:00] morning, it was all brand new.

[4:02] >> This is the real world of politics and

[4:04] it's what makes elections win.

[4:06] >> In Virginia and four other states today,

[4:08] the push was on.

[4:10] >> With your help, we're going to be

[4:12] successful and November is going to be a

[4:14] great great victory for all of us.

[4:17] >> In Richmond, they brought out the big

[4:18] guns for the hunt. Even Senator John

[4:21] Warner went door to door looking for

[4:22] support. There's nothing random about

[4:25] this registration drive. It's designed

[4:27] to pay dividends by concentrating on

[4:29] neighborhoods like this one that went

[4:31] for Ronald Reagan in 1980 by 2 to one.

[4:34] >> If the election were being held today,

[4:36] do you think you'd be voting for the

[4:37] Republican candidate for president?

[4:39] >> To find the fertile ground, the party is

[4:41] running sophisticated phone banks,

[4:43] planning to hit every state before the

[4:44] election. Their system is so efficient,

[4:47] they can pinpoint like-minded people for

[4:49] personal visits without chasing anything

[4:51] but a sure bet. Would you like to

[4:53] register? We got some registration cards

[4:55] right here.

[4:56] >> The Republicans feel they have to be

[4:58] selective because the odds are against

[4:59] them.

[5:00] >> When we've set up in shopping centers,

[5:02] we'll register four Democrats to one

[5:04] Republican. We'll do better if we go

[5:05] door todoor, friend to friend, co-orker

[5:08] to coworker, those people that think

[5:10] like we do and believe in the things we

[5:13] do, we get them registered so they'll

[5:15] vote for us on November. To sign up 2

[5:18] million new voters, the Republicans plan

[5:20] to spend at least $8 million, more than

[5:22] twice what the Democrats expect to

[5:24] raise. And to counter big labor support

[5:26] for the opposition, the Republicans are

[5:28] getting some help from their friends.

[5:29] Fundamentalist groups are pushing their

[5:31] own registration efforts. But it's not

[5:34] just a numbers game. With no primary

[5:36] battles and a candidate who's not

[5:38] actively campaigning, the Republicans's

[5:40] biggest enemy may be apathy. and they're

[5:42] using the registration drive to make

[5:44] sure they have the snap they'll need in

[5:46] November. Deborah Potter, CBS News,

[5:48] Richmond.

[5:50] >> Former Senator Frank Church of Idaho

[5:52] died today at his home in Bethesda,

[5:54] Maryland. He was 59. He had been ill for

[5:56] months with cancer. He was first elected

[5:58] to the Senate at age 32, but during the

[6:01] Reagan landslide of 1980, he was

[6:03] defeated for a fifth term while chairman

[6:05] of the Senate Foreign Relations

[6:06] Committee. is a stern critic of the

[6:08] Vietnam War and championed civil rights

[6:10] and environmental legislation. Memorial

[6:12] services will be held Tuesday in

[6:14] Washington. been suspected attacks.

[6:35] >> Would you trade this bulk laxative for

[6:36] your senot tablets?

[6:38] >> No, I would not trade. I don't like

[6:40] being bothered with a bulk. I prefer the

[6:43] senot. We ask users of bulk and liquid

[6:46] laxatives to try gentle effective

[6:47] senicot.

[6:48] >> Does it work overnight?

[6:49] >> It works the next morning. It was

[6:51] fabulous.

[6:52] >> You keep your milk of magnesium and I

[6:55] will keep my sut

[6:57] >> tablets or pleasant tasting granules.

[6:59] Natural vegetable cinnot laxative.

[7:01] >> I can count on senot.

[7:07] >> Today competition is tougher than ever.

[7:10] With thousands of new businesses

[7:11] opening, you have to be smarter than the

[7:13] people down the street. You need smarter

[7:16] ways to manage your cash flow.

[7:18] Inventory.

[7:18] >> We'll ship it by air.

[7:20] >> Customer relations.

[7:21] >> Just use our 800 number

[7:22] >> by tailoring AT&T wants and 800 service

[7:25] in ways you never thought of. You can

[7:27] handle the competition wherever it comes

[7:30] from.

[7:36] Five crewmen are missing tonight after

[7:38] their Air Force helicopter crashed into

[7:40] the Atlantic Ocean off Florida. Three

[7:42] other men were rescued. The crew was

[7:44] observing a test launch of a Trident

[7:46] missile. Short time after the successful

[7:48] test, the helicopter plunged into the

[7:50] sea. It is not known what caused the

[7:52] crash. After two severe storms in New

[7:55] Jersey, the rain has finally tapered

[7:56] off, but as Richard Wagner reports now,

[7:58] the effects of the torrential rain still

[8:00] linger.

[8:02] >> There was no warning or anything. It

[8:03] just uh kept coming and we waited for it

[8:05] to stop and it never stopped.

[8:07] >> We never had any problem like this

[8:09] before. If there was water, there was

[8:11] water just at the end of the street and

[8:13] nobody has ever seen it like this

[8:14] before.

[8:15] >> That's because northern New Jersey has

[8:17] never before had a flood like this. More

[8:20] than 5 in of rain in two days sent some

[8:23] rivers as much as 7 ft over flood stage.

[8:26] Roads disappeared. Cars were useless

[8:29] even if they weren't underwater. Some

[8:31] 5,000 people had to be evacuated, some

[8:34] of them as late as this afternoon,

[8:36] although the worst is now over. In some

[8:39] areas, the cleanup has already begun.

[8:41] But there are still thousands of people

[8:43] stranded in schools and community

[8:45] centers unable to reach their homes.

[8:47] >> We can't get in and they say for about

[8:49] two or three more days, there'll be no

[8:51] power, nothing. So, we have to wait

[8:54] until the water goes down and the power

[8:56] is turned back on. The five member Serbo

[8:58] family was rescued by motorboat, but

[9:00] they had some anxious moments waiting in

[9:02] the dark.

[9:03] >> We thought it would be we weren't ever

[9:05] going to get picked up uh because every

[9:06] time it went by it was full. Uh but

[9:09] eventually it did stop around 1:00

[9:11] Friday morning and our kids were

[9:14] relieved and got rescued. Man, in terms

[9:17] of damage, New Jersey's Governor Thomas

[9:19] Kaine has said this flooding's cost will

[9:22] exceed the estimated $120 million damage

[9:25] caused along the Jersey shore by last

[9:27] week's storm. Many people were trapped

[9:30] in their homes, the governor said,

[9:31] because in the past they had always been

[9:33] able to wait out a flood. This time was

[9:36] different. Miraculously, so far, no

[9:38] deaths have been attributed to what's

[9:40] already being called the great flood of

[9:42] 84. Richard Wagner, CBS News, New York.

[9:47] >> The Big Apple is still number one, but

[9:49] the second city isn't second anymore.

[9:51] The Census Bureau tonight released

[9:53] population figures for 1982. New York

[9:55] again tops the list as it did in 1980

[9:58] with more than 7 million residents. Los

[10:00] Angeles moved past Chicago into second

[10:02] place with just over 3 million people.

[10:05] Houston moved up a notch over

[10:06] Philadelphia. Detroit is next. The rest

[10:09] of the top 10 are all Sunb Belt cities.

[10:11] Dallas, San Diego, Phoenix, and San

[10:13] Antonio. Honolulu, by the way, now ranks

[10:16] 11th. Well, the baseball season is less

[10:19] than a week old, and already there's

[10:20] been a no hitter. Jack Morris of the

[10:23] Detroit Tigers sealed a four to nothing

[10:25] victory today by striking out Ron KD of

[10:27] the Chicago White Socks. It was the

[10:29] first no hitter by a Detroit pitcher in

[10:31] 26 seasons.

[10:45] They say a tire is a tire.

[10:48] >> You can't tell one tire from another.

[10:50] >> But Goodyear said

[10:52] >> baloney

[10:52] >> and spent a billion dollars to design

[10:55] and build the world's leading radial

[10:56] tires. Did anybody notice? Drivers did.

[11:00] They're buying more Goodyear radials

[11:01] than any other brand. More than all

[11:04] foreign radials combined. Wow. Sometimes

[11:08] it really pays not to listen to what

[11:10] they say.

[11:13] >> Goodyear.

[11:15] If you've got a taste for white,

[11:17] Almadan's got the taste for you.

[11:19] >> With light, it shivers with cold. It

[11:22] satisfies your passion.

[11:25] Your passion for

[11:29] golden

[11:31] golden shall be far more inviting. And

[11:35] you dreamed no one could be

[11:39] longer than golden golden sh.

[11:45] >> You know about Murphy's law. Whatever

[11:47] can go wrong will.

[11:50] >> But you can worry a lot less about

[11:52] Murphy's law when you own a lawn boy.

[11:55] There's no oil to change, no valves to

[11:57] go bad. THERE'S LESS

[12:01] to go wrong.

[12:02] >> Ready to cook. And for years of mowing,

[12:05] the engine is designed to last 50%

[12:07] longer than most. So get yourself a lawn

[12:10] boy and help make sure whatever can go

[12:12] wrong won't.

[12:16] Residents of the Harrisburg,

[12:18] Pennsylvania area are being told not to

[12:20] open their doors to strangers tonight.

[12:22] This after six men escaped from the

[12:24] county prison. Inmates soared through a

[12:26] barred window, crawled out, climbed onto

[12:29] the prison roof, and jumped 20 ft to the

[12:31] ground. The Escapees include one man

[12:33] convicted of murder, another convicted

[12:35] of manslaughter.

[12:37] The medical use of heroin was outlawed

[12:40] in 1956 in this country because of its

[12:42] highly addictive properties. In England

[12:44] and other countries, terminal cancer

[12:46] patients continue to be treated with it.

[12:48] Tonight, Joan Snder reports a move is on

[12:50] to make the drug available again in

[12:52] American hospitals.

[12:53] >> Joanne Co, once an ardent tennis player,

[12:56] is now bedridden with the pain of cancer

[12:58] that has spread through her body. She

[13:00] takes painkillers constantly, but wants

[13:02] to have another one available to her.

[13:04] Heroin.

[13:05] >> If there is a drug, whether it be heroin

[13:08] or anything else, that is going to help

[13:10] one person, it should be available to

[13:13] them.

[13:14] >> Agreeing with that argument, a House

[13:16] committee this week approved a bill that

[13:18] would set up a 4-year pilot program

[13:20] making heroin available for the pain of

[13:22] terminal cancer patients. The

[13:24] legislation opposed by the Reagan

[13:26] administration and the American Medical

[13:27] Association is heading for a full House

[13:30] vote. One sponsor is Democratic

[13:32] Congressman Henry Waxman of California.

[13:34] >> It seems to me that it's unconscionable

[13:36] for society to have a policy to withhold

[13:39] from a dying person the ability to to to

[13:42] control the pain and to manage it.

[13:44] >> Dr. Carlton Turner is special

[13:45] presidential assistant for drug abuse

[13:47] policy.

[13:48] >> We think we don't need it. We think we

[13:50] have the drugs available now to do the

[13:52] job and we think it would send a wrong

[13:54] message uh to the young people of this

[13:55] country regarding the drugs of abuse.

[13:57] >> We're hopeful that you're going to get

[13:59] through the evening and feel good. The

[14:02] controversy comes at a time of

[14:03] increasing medical efforts to study and

[14:05] control the sometimes agonizing pain of

[14:08] cancer patients. As in this new cancer

[14:10] care unit at George Washington Hospital

[14:12] in Washington, only a minority of

[14:15] patients have severe enough pain to

[14:16] warrant the strongest drugs, usually

[14:19] morphine, from which heroin is derived.

[14:22] But currently available drugs are not

[14:24] enough in the view of an organization

[14:25] that has lobbied for years to make

[14:27] heroin available. The National Committee

[14:30] for the Treatment of Intractable Pain.

[14:32] The bureaucracy cannot see the kind of

[14:34] suffering that's going on and that they

[14:36] will even tolerate it. uh is

[14:39] unspeakable.

[14:40] >> But doctors disagree over whether heroin

[14:43] would help. An advocate, Dr. Alan

[14:45] Monzac, a cancer specialist in

[14:47] Washington, believes heroin has special

[14:50] advantages, especially for patients who

[14:52] develop resistance to other drugs

[14:54] through long use.

[14:55] >> It is more rapidly acting than morphine.

[14:57] It means a smoother pain control. It

[15:00] doesn't mean this, it means this. And

[15:03] also the reports from England and the

[15:05] reports from all physicians that used it

[15:07] seem to indicate a certain euphoria and

[15:09] calm that comes with it that I feel

[15:11] could be invaluable in handling the

[15:14] anxiety and the terrors and all the

[15:16] suffering associated with pain and

[15:17] cancer.

[15:18] >> But the American Medical Association

[15:20] argues there's evidence that heroin is

[15:22] no more effective in controlling cancer

[15:24] pain than our currently available

[15:26] medications. that doctors must learn

[15:28] more about using available painkillers

[15:30] to their fullest potential.

[15:32] >> We don't need heroin.

[15:33] >> Dr. Kathleen Foley heads the pain

[15:35] service at New York's Memorial Sloan

[15:37] Ketering Cancer Center. We're taking

[15:39] money um taxpayer money to provide uh

[15:43] legislation for a drug that we don't

[15:45] need. And superimposed on that, we're

[15:48] then uh taking the money away from

[15:50] research um for the cancer for drugs

[15:54] that would better the state of the

[15:56] cancer patient. There is also

[15:57] disagreement over whether hospital

[15:59] heroin would pose a serious theft

[16:01] problem and over the effect on society

[16:03] in general. There is agreement on both

[16:05] sides that with or without heroin, new

[16:08] pain relieving drugs should be

[16:09] developed. For people like Joanne Co,

[16:12] who says outsiders can't really

[16:14] understand her kind of pain.

[16:16] >> You got to be there to know what's

[16:17] happening

[16:19] and I'm there.

[16:21] >> Joan Snider, CBS News, Rockville,

[16:24] Maryland.

[16:25] Incidentally, a House Committee report

[16:27] says that marijuana grown in the United

[16:29] States is now a $52 billion a year

[16:32] business and that $10 billion worth is

[16:34] grown on public property. Marijuana is

[16:37] now believed to be second only to

[16:38] soybeans as this country's most

[16:40] profitable cash crop.

[16:53] Mommy beat daddy.

[16:55] >> I quit.

[16:56] >> Saw a loser. But how do you do it?

[16:58] Tennis, family, everything isn't easy.

[17:01] And after Morgan was born, my doctor

[17:03] told me I had iron poor blood.

[17:05] >> You biggest nutritional problem we women

[17:07] have. Now I protect myself, eat right,

[17:09] and take geratl every day.

[17:11] >> Geratl is iron rich. Great protection

[17:13] against iron poor blood. Iron is

[17:15] Geratl's middle name.

[17:17] >> Should I take Geratl?

[17:18] >> Ivonne does.

[17:20] >> It's great protection against iron poor

[17:22] blood.

[17:24] >> IBM introduces PC Jr., a bright little

[17:28] addition to the family. Junior comes

[17:30] with bright computer ideas like a

[17:33] keyboard that doesn't need a cord. You

[17:36] can get easy to use software like word

[17:38] processing, games and graphics your kids

[17:41] won't believe, plus a starting price you

[17:43] won't believe. And with easy to add

[17:46] options, Junior can grow up real fast.

[17:49] PC Jr., new from IBM.

[17:55] After 4 days of heated negotiations, the

[17:57] United States and Japan agreed late

[17:59] today in Washington to practically

[18:00] double Japanese import quotas for

[18:03] American beef and citrus products. over

[18:05] the next four years. Agriculture

[18:07] Secretary John Block said it was good

[18:09] news for American farmers. The National

[18:11] Cattleman's Association said it is

[18:13] disappointed that the increase is not

[18:14] larger. The Space Shuttle Challenger

[18:17] lightened its load a little today,

[18:19] depositing into space what's called a

[18:21] longduration exposure facility. Morton

[18:23] Dean has our report.

[18:25] Like the Clipper ships of old when they

[18:27] first began to sail the world's

[18:29] uncharted oceans, the spaceships of

[18:31] today are still in search of knowledge

[18:33] about the seas they sail. That's the

[18:36] reason this was dropped overboard today.

[18:38] A huge scientific platform 30 ft long.

[18:42] >> It was a rocket just about as Roger

[18:46] that. On it are seeds and spores and

[18:49] eggs, materials for the growing of

[18:51] crystals, various surface coatings. 57

[18:54] experiments in all to measure the

[18:56] adverse and advantageous effects of

[18:59] space.

[19:00] >> Kband radar currently showing the

[19:02] separation at 330 ft.

[19:05] >> The platform will be retrieved 10 months

[19:07] from now.

[19:08] Today, the astronauts were also tacking

[19:10] across the heavens heading for

[19:12] tomorrow's rendevous when one of the

[19:14] crew members will dock with a stricken

[19:17] satellite and help bring it aboard the

[19:19] shuttle for a repair job. Morton Dean,

[19:22] CBS News, Johnson Space Center, Houston.

[19:26] >> CBS News will provide live coverage of

[19:28] the shuttle repair mission tomorrow

[19:29] morning at 10:15 Eastern time. Across

[19:32] the way in the Soviet Salute Space

[19:34] Station, six cosminauts continued their

[19:37] program of experiments. But apparently

[19:38] the camera only had eyes for the guest

[19:40] cosminaut from India, Raki Chararma.

[19:43] Tass says that Chararma spent the day

[19:45] photographing parts of his homeland and

[19:47] teaching the five Soviet cosminauts the

[19:50] techniques of yoga.

[19:52] >> At somewhat lower altitudes, in fact

[19:54] about 30 feet below street level in

[19:56] York, England, another kind of story has

[19:58] surfaced. A story about a slice of

[20:00] ancient Scandinavian culture. Tom Fenton

[20:02] has a report on that.

[20:05] York is a calm, elegant town of great

[20:08] antiquity, embraced by stone walls and

[20:11] presided over by dreaming spires. But

[20:14] its present bears little resemblance to

[20:16] its past. The story of York is a story

[20:19] of invaders and the most feared were the

[20:21] Vikings. A thousand years ago, these

[20:24] Scandinavian seafares conquered and then

[20:27] settled in York. Their everyday lives

[20:30] have now been recreated in an unusual

[20:32] archaeological project that demolishes a

[20:35] number of myths.

[20:39] >> Vikings did not wear horned helmets. And

[20:42] while some did rape and pillage, the

[20:44] average Viking had time to settle down

[20:46] as a peaceful merchant or craftsman.

[20:52] This recreation of a street in Yorvik,

[20:54] as York was then known, is accurate down

[20:57] to the last known detail.

[21:00] >> To complete the 10th century atmosphere,

[21:03] sounds and smells have been recreated.

[21:06] >> Knowing that the Vikings must have been

[21:07] very smelly people, and the areas that

[21:10] they lived in must have been very

[21:11] smelly, we're trying to make it as

[21:13] authentic as possible. Therefore, we

[21:15] must have smells.

[21:17] >> Not all of the smells are pleasant.

[21:21] The exhibit duplicates real streets

[21:24] unearthed in a 5-year archaeological dig

[21:26] in the center of York. Everyday objects

[21:29] were found to be remarkably preserved by

[21:31] the waterlogged soil. And as soon as the

[21:34] timbers have been treated to withstand

[21:36] the 20th century, houses on the original

[21:39] streets will be rebuilt, giving modern

[21:41] Yorkshire men a link with their past.

[21:44] This really was a place. This really was

[21:47] a space in time. and that you can

[21:50] contact that because it's only 13

[21:51] granny's ago. There's a chain of people.

[21:54] >> The organizers of the project found that

[21:56] the great number of objects large and

[21:58] small unearthed in the dig were not the

[22:01] only traces left behind by the Viking.

[22:06] Local

[22:11] people who were trained to speak old

[22:14] Norse for the soundtrack picked up the

[22:16] ancient language with surprising speed.

[22:19] Modern Yorkshire men still speak the

[22:21] dialect that bears a remarkable

[22:23] resemblance to the language of the

[22:25] Vikings. Tom Fenton, CBS News, London.

[22:37] Throw me a strike in here.

[22:40] I come back to the ballpark once in a

[22:42] while for old time's sake. I even get a

[22:44] chance to

[22:45] >> These fans love me. I even paint the old

[22:48] pitching machine with Rust Magic with

[22:49] RP2. Got to tell you, Rust Magic keeps

[22:52] this pitcher in great shape.

[22:53] >> Yeah, but the catcher's rusty.

[22:55] >> They never forget you. And Rust Magic

[22:57] dries a lot faster than the leading

[22:59] national brand. And that's a wicker when

[23:01] you're rained out. Rust Magic from

[23:03] Growla. Tough fast drying rust

[23:06] protection.

[23:18] So,

[23:26] Maybe something in blue.

[23:38] These days, everybody's cutting the

[23:41] cord. But we didn't just cut the cord.

[23:43] Meet Nomad. AT&T's cordless phone. It's

[23:47] got automatic redial, quality sound, but

[23:50] more important, it meets our high

[23:52] standards. AT&T. We cut the cord. We

[23:55] didn't cut corners. See the AT&T

[23:57] cordless phones now at a price to fit

[24:00] every pocket. One even fits in your

[24:02] pocket at thousands of leading retail

[24:04] stores. AT&T, we set the standards.

[24:10] Five movies will vive for the best

[24:12] picture award when the Oscars are handed

[24:14] out Monday night. Terms of endearment is

[24:16] the favorite to win. But the movie that

[24:18] stands to gain the most from an Oscar is

[24:19] The Right Stuff, which thus far has had

[24:21] the wrong stuff at the box office.

[24:23] Andrea Naferson reports. We got to catch

[24:26] up.

[24:27] >> The Right Stuff seemed to have

[24:29] everything going for it. The critics

[24:31] loved it

[24:32] >> almost universally. It it received

[24:34] really good reviews.

[24:35] >> The news media covered it.

[24:37] >> But the movie The Right Stuff may be the

[24:39] exception

[24:40] >> and everyone figured The Right Stuff

[24:41] would rocket right into the record

[24:43] books.

[24:44] >> I was told by so many people that it was

[24:46] going to be a great success.

[24:49] >> But the film didn't fly. It cost $27

[24:52] million to make, millions more to

[24:54] promote money the Lad Company now has

[24:57] little chance to recoup. So far, the

[25:00] movie has taken in only a fifth of what

[25:02] it needs to turn a profit. So, what went

[25:04] wrong with the right stuff?

[25:06] >> I don't think people realize that it was

[25:10] was and is a very funny movie. U I think

[25:13] they thought of it as a somber history

[25:14] lesson.

[25:15] >> The right stuff is about history, but

[25:18] it's certainly not somber. What can be

[25:20] going through a man's mind at this

[25:22] moment?

[25:23] >> Gordo, I have to urinate.

[25:25] >> The film is really about an almost

[25:27] mystical quality, a blend of bravery and

[25:30] bravado, something Tom Wolf labeled the

[25:33] right stuff in his best-selling book. It

[25:36] was personified by the legendary test

[25:38] pilot Chuck Jerger and by others who

[25:40] went on to become astronauts like John

[25:42] Glenn.

[25:43] >> She's behind it. And by golly, my kids

[25:45] are too 100%. And like Gordon Cooper,

[25:49] >> here's the best pilot you've ever saw.

[25:51] >> Cooper was played by Dennis Quaid.

[25:53] >> When the movie first came out, I think

[25:55] it was it was perceived as a political

[25:57] film as maybe the John Glenn story.

[26:00] >> People who haven't seen the movie still

[26:02] think that.

[26:03] >> What do you think the movie's about?

[26:05] >> It's about John Glenn. Basically,

[26:07] >> it's about politics, sports.

[26:10] >> Well, I thought it was just a story of

[26:12] Glenn, John Glenn. The Lad Company

[26:15] encouraged that connection. The movie

[26:17] premiered in Washington DC just as Glenn

[26:20] was launching his presidential campaign.

[26:22] Stories appeared all over the country,

[26:24] but that publicity may have backfired at

[26:27] the box office, particularly with young

[26:29] people.

[26:30] >> John Glenn to them is somewhere in

[26:32] history with Marco Polo or one of those

[26:35] people who did something, but they can't

[26:36] quite remember what.

[26:38] >> Unfortunately, the story that was being

[26:39] told was probably the wrong one.

[26:43] I got a rocket in my pocket and a hole

[26:46] in my phone.

[26:48] >> This promotion may have been more in

[26:49] tune with what the right stuff was

[26:51] about, but the studio chose not to air

[26:53] it. Instead, ads played up a stuffier

[26:56] image, the silver suited heroes of the

[26:59] space race.

[27:00] >> After you've seen Star Wars and all the

[27:02] possibilities, I mean, one guy venturing

[27:04] up into space to, you know, to just

[27:06] shoot, not even go around the Earth the

[27:08] first time, uh, that's not very big

[27:10] deal. So maybe the right stuff didn't

[27:13] live up to everyone's lofty expectations

[27:15] because it didn't attract the young, the

[27:18] audience that makes or breaks a movie at

[27:20] the box office. To them, perhaps the

[27:22] right stuff was old stuff. They've

[27:25] already seen the future and by

[27:27] comparison, the past looks pretty dull.

[27:34] >> That's it. Good night.

[27:39] When people pump their own gas, they

[27:41] sometimes forget to check things. So,

[27:43] when they come in for service,

[27:44] >> Mr. Good Wrench, there's something

[27:45] wrong. Well,

[27:46] >> let's take a look. Mr. Good Wrench knows

[27:48] your GM car. He has the right tools and

[27:51] the right GM training available to spot

[27:52] your problems fast.

[27:54] >> Mr. Good Wrench.

[27:56] >> Nothing serious. Just needs a tuneup. By

[27:58] the way, your oil is low.

[28:00] >> Here's how to check

[28:01] >> that great

[28:03] feeling

[28:04] >> with Mr. Good Wrench. with genuine GM

[28:07] parts.

[28:09] >> There are multivitamins

[28:12] and there are multivitamins.

[28:14] Vitamins that are flaky, bumpy, crispy,

[28:16] crunchy, and taste oh so good. It's

[28:19] Kellogg's Product 19. More vitamin

[28:22] nutrition than any other cereal. But

[28:24] you'd never know by tasting because

[28:26] Product 19 goodness comes from corn,

[28:28] oats, wheat, and rice. Delicious. Kellox

[28:31] Product 19 cereal. Flaky, bumpy, crispy,

[28:34] crunchy

[28:37] vitamin.
