[0:02] On World News Tonight this Saturday, the

[0:05] accelerating investigation into

[0:07] President Clinton. It has not hurt his

[0:09] ability to raise money. 25 tons of a

[0:12] powerful explosive stolen in West

[0:14] Virginia. That is 10 times the amount

[0:17] used in the Oklahoma City bombing.

[0:20] And hundreds of endangered birds

[0:23] slaughtered. Were efforts to save them

[0:25] too successful?

[0:30] From ABC News, this is World News

[0:35] Tonight Saturday.

[0:37] >> Good evening. I'm Elizabeth Vargas.

[0:39] Monica Lewinsky is expected to meet with

[0:41] prosecutors this weekend to prepare for

[0:43] her appearance before Kenneth Star's

[0:45] grand jury, possibly as early as next

[0:48] week. The president is scheduled to

[0:50] testify after Lewinsky. We go first this

[0:53] evening to ABC's Tim O'Brien with the

[0:55] very latest on the investigation.

[0:58] Sources at FBI headquarters in

[1:00] Washington say they hope to identify by

[1:02] Monday the stains found on a dark

[1:05] colored dress belonging to Monica

[1:06] Lewinsky. Prosecutors believe the stains

[1:09] might prove a sexual relationship

[1:11] between Lewinsky and the president

[1:12] despite the president's sworn denial. In

[1:15] the midst of this dramatic development,

[1:17] the key players in the Kenneth Star

[1:19] investigation were getting away from it

[1:20] all. The president playing golf in the

[1:23] Hamptons. the independent council on his

[1:25] way to Toronto for a bar association

[1:28] meeting.

[1:28] >> And our polls are showing increasingly

[1:30] people don't care if the president may

[1:31] have tortured himself. What does that

[1:33] mean? What does that say?

[1:35] >> I'm not going to comment at all.

[1:37] >> Former Watergate prosecutor Richard

[1:39] Beniste says the average citizen would

[1:42] never be prosecuted for lying about a

[1:44] sexual relationship even if under oath.

[1:47] In a normal circumstance, uh no

[1:50] prosecutor

[1:51] u in any jurisdiction who is a

[1:53] reasonable and experienced person uh

[1:56] would give a second thought to pursuing

[1:58] uh such an allegation.

[2:00] >> But the president is not your average

[2:02] citizen.

[2:03] >> The president is given the duty, the

[2:06] mandate to enforce the federal laws if

[2:09] he has engaged in obstruction of justice

[2:11] or perjury. It's the most serious type

[2:13] of misconduct. Even Lewinsk's lawyer had

[2:16] doubts today about how it all might end.

[2:18] >> You think this case could bring down the

[2:20] president of the United States?

[2:23] >> What do you think?

[2:24] >> Ultimately, the president's fate may

[2:26] hinge on his own words when he testifies

[2:28] before the Lewinsky grand jury August

[2:30] 17th. The White House announced this

[2:32] afternoon the testimony will be

[2:34] televised on a one-way audio video

[2:36] hookup directly from the White House to

[2:39] the courthouse. The session, we're told,

[2:40] will also be videotaped for the benefit

[2:43] of any grand jurors who would be unable

[2:45] to attend. The tapes, however, we

[2:47] understand, will not be made available

[2:48] to the public or the media.

[2:51] >> Tim, does that audio video hookup mean

[2:53] that grand jurors will be able to ask

[2:55] questions of the president?

[2:56] >> They will, but not directly. There will

[2:58] be a telephone hookup between the

[3:00] courthouse and the White House, and

[3:01] grand jurors who have questions will be

[3:03] able to relay those questions to

[3:05] prosecutors standing by with the

[3:07] president at the White House. All right,

[3:09] Tim O'Brien this evening at the White

[3:11] House. Thank you. President Clinton is

[3:13] in the exclusive beach community of East

[3:15] Hampton this weekend on New York's Long

[3:17] Island. He is relaxing and raising

[3:19] money, lots of money. ABC's Mike Von is

[3:23] with the president.

[3:26] >> He may be a lame duck president in the

[3:28] middle of a legal crisis, but he's never

[3:31] been more in demand. While the locals

[3:33] waited hours today on the chance they

[3:35] might catch a glimpse of the president

[3:37] here, the rich and famous are paying

[3:39] between $250 and $25,000 for a sure

[3:43] thing. Democratic officials who

[3:45] organized all these lavish fundraisers

[3:48] say that Kenneth Star's investigation

[3:50] has only motivated the party faithful to

[3:52] give more money. They know that there

[3:54] are political attacks underway to

[3:56] destroy the presidency and to destroy

[3:58] this party. And the president is

[4:00] determined to make sure that we have the

[4:02] resources to compete successfully this

[4:03] fall. And so do our donors.

[4:05] >> Four years ago, many Democratic

[4:07] candidates feared being too close to

[4:09] Clinton. In fact, Republicans ran ads

[4:12] portraying Democrats as being Clinton

[4:14] clones. Now, with Clinton's approval

[4:16] rating remaining high, the political

[4:19] landscape has changed. candidates are

[4:21] lining up, both incumbent office holders

[4:24] and our candidates, to get the president

[4:26] to come to their district.

[4:27] >> These presidential fundraisers have

[4:29] helped Democrats raise $30 million this

[4:31] year, nearly wiping out the debt the

[4:33] party incurred after the 1996 campaign

[4:36] finance scandals. While the president

[4:38] may be the party's money man, these

[4:41] visits may not translate into Democratic

[4:43] votes.

[4:44] >> I think it's mainly money. I don't I

[4:46] don't think it's coattails. the I I

[4:48] think it's the ability to attract

[4:49] attention, raise money, and energize the

[4:51] base of the Democratic party, especially

[4:53] the wealthy base of the Democratic

[4:55] Party.

[4:56] >> And that wealthy base will be out in

[4:57] force tonight at Kim Bassinger and Alec

[4:59] Baldwin's party for the president

[5:01] expected to bring in $300,000.

[5:04] Despite Kenneth Star's investigation,

[5:06] the president's popularity is holding,

[5:08] but some Democratic officials privately

[5:10] concede these good times could end in an

[5:12] instant, depending on what the

[5:14] independent council ultimately reveals.

[5:16] Elizabeth.

[5:17] >> All right, thank you. Mike Bonfrem with

[5:18] the president this evening. Kenneth

[5:20] Star's investigation is the topic

[5:22] tomorrow on this week with Sam Donaldson

[5:24] and Koki Roberts. Among the guests are

[5:26] Linda Trip's attorney Anthony Zakanini.

[5:29] In other news this Saturday, the FBI is

[5:32] hunting tonight for 25 tons of the

[5:34] powerful explosive ammonium nitrate

[5:37] stolen this week in West Virginia. If

[5:40] that chemical sounds familiar, it's

[5:41] because it is the same explosive used in

[5:44] the Oklahoma City bombing. ABC's Bob

[5:46] Woodruff has the latest.

[5:50] >> More than 50 FBI agents are now

[5:52] searching the area near Brewon Mills,

[5:54] West Virginia. They believe that

[5:56] sometime within the past 6 weeks, 50,000

[5:59] pounds of ammonium nitrate were stolen

[6:01] from this supply bin. That's more than

[6:04] 10 times the amount used by Timothy

[6:06] McVey to blow up the federal building in

[6:08] Oklahoma City. So, the FBI is taking no

[6:11] chances.

[6:11] >> Our main focus here is to rule out

[6:15] possible domestic or international

[6:17] terrorism.

[6:18] >> Ammonium nitrate is commonly used as a

[6:20] fertilizer and would be very valuable to

[6:23] farmers. But the chemicals stolen were

[6:25] an explosive grade of ammonium nitrate

[6:28] used in 95% of all commercial blasting

[6:31] in this country.

[6:36] But to transform ammonium nitrate into

[6:39] an explosive chemical, it must first be

[6:41] mixed with fuel oil very precisely to

[6:44] create a compound called anfo. And

[6:46] that's not easy. Although there are

[6:48] instructions even on the internet about

[6:50] how to make an experts say that amateurs

[6:53] are rarely successful. that if you and I

[6:55] or somebody were just to go and read

[6:57] internet directions and try to build

[6:59] something with plain ammonium nitrate,

[7:01] we'd be a bigger danger to ourselves

[7:03] than we would be any anybody else. It is

[7:05] a very difficult process.

[7:06] >> But an agent from the Bureau of Alcohol,

[7:08] Tobacco, and Firearms tells ABC News

[7:11] that dozens of fringe groups like the

[7:13] Viper Militia in Arizona have built an

[7:16] bombs.

[7:19] Fortunately, there's no evidence yet of

[7:21] any link between this theft in West

[7:23] Virginia and any terrorist act.

[7:25] >> The FBI has already searched in three

[7:27] states, has several leads, and is

[7:29] offering a $10,000 reward. Bob Woodruff,

[7:32] ABC News, Washington.

[7:35] >> Still ahead on World News Tonight this

[7:36] Saturday, the nation's latest drug

[7:38] binge. So easy, so cheap, and so

[7:41] dangerous. The newest golf sensation.

[7:44] She is younger than Tiger Woods and she

[7:46] wins more often. And the first man in

[7:49] space, the men who flew with Alan

[7:51] Shepard say goodbye.

[7:55] >> This is World News Tonight Saturday,

[7:59] brought to you by Mocks.

[8:04] >> One minute.

[8:07] In hospitals, speed counts. Fast acting

[8:10] medicines, doctors rely on them. So when

[8:12] patients get heartburn, they get one

[8:14] minute Mox, not Pepsid AC. Mocks goes to

[8:17] work on stomach acid in 1 minute.

[8:20] Pepsidac could take over 45 minutes to

[8:22] affect acid. 1 minute mocks. Hospitals

[8:26] count on it. Shouldn't you?

[8:28] >> The number one choice for hospitals.

[8:29] It's not Pepsid AC. It's 1 minute.

[8:33] Life's an adventure because you're over

[8:35] 50 and still exploring. So take the

[8:38] syndrome made just for you. Centrum

[8:49] Why does Arman Hammer Dental Care clean

[8:51] away plaque better than regular

[8:52] toothpaste? New tests prove it. Like

[8:54] this golf ball, your teeth are filled

[8:56] with microscopic crevices. Arman Hammer

[8:58] gets in these crevices to clean plaque

[9:00] away better. Feels like a dentist

[9:01] cleaning every time you brush.

[9:04] >> Is there a store between here and the

[9:05] Canadian border we haven't been to?

[9:08] Honey, I'm beat. I'm starving.

[9:11] >> Here's something good for you.

[9:12] >> Ensure Bars.

[9:13] >> Complete balanced nutrition to go.

[9:15] >> Ensure Bars with protein, 24 vitamins

[9:18] and minerals, including calcium, vitamin

[9:20] D, iron, zinc, antioxidants, C, and E. A

[9:23] source of complete balanced nutrition.

[9:25] >> Delicious. What's next?

[9:27] >> The Canadian border.

[9:28] >> I'm ready.

[9:30] >> Ensure bars to your health.

[9:35] The temperatures topped 100 degrees

[9:37] again today in Texas, the 27th day in a

[9:40] row. August is traditionally even hotter

[9:42] than July, and the forecast shows no

[9:44] relief for the next 5 days. The

[9:47] organization, Habitat for Humanity,

[9:49] escaped the 100 degree daytime

[9:51] temperatures in San Antonio by building

[9:53] houses at night. And get this, rats from

[9:56] the parched Texas countryside are now

[9:59] reportedly invading residential areas

[10:01] around Dallas, seeking water. A new

[10:04] report says doctors might have been able

[10:06] to save more victims of the Chicago

[10:08] heatwave in 1995 if they had put heat

[10:10] stroke victims immediately into an ice

[10:13] water bath. The report found 21% of heat

[10:16] stroke patients brought to the hospital

[10:18] died there. Another 16% died the

[10:21] following year because of damage to

[10:23] their internal organs. In northern New

[10:26] York State today on the shore of Lake

[10:28] Ontario, a mystery. The massacre of more

[10:32] than 800 federally protected birds. The

[10:35] people who live nearby are not

[10:36] sympathetic. In fact, they say the birds

[10:39] were threatening the local economy.

[10:41] Here's ABC's Mark Mullen.

[10:43] >> Right here. It was wildlife management

[10:45] with a shotgun at an island nesting

[10:48] ground on the shore of upstate New

[10:49] York's Lake Ontario. More than 800

[10:52] doublecrusted corarants, a federally

[10:54] protected species, were slaughtered by

[10:56] shotgun fire. Most were fledglings too

[10:59] young to fly once the shooting started.

[11:02] What is so uh significant and appalling

[11:04] about this instance is is that uh you

[11:06] know it was surely vindictive and and

[11:08] and hate oriented apparently that uh

[11:11] somebody just simply wanted these birds

[11:13] dead for no real apparent reason.

[11:16] >> But authorities believe there is a

[11:17] reason the once rare bird is flourishing

[11:20] here eating more than a million bass

[11:22] from the lake every year. The birds are

[11:25] in direct competition with the fishing

[11:27] industry and anglers who made this

[11:29] videotape showing corar ants so full

[11:31] with fish they could barely fly. The

[11:34] shooting is one of several recent

[11:36] examples nationwide in which a species

[11:38] under government protection clashed with

[11:40] local interests. Last month near Dallas,

[11:43] someone bulldozed over a rrookery filled

[11:45] with protected birds like snowy egrets

[11:47] and blue herand after residents

[11:49] complained of smell and noise. In New

[11:51] York, anglers have argued the corar ants

[11:53] have recovered beyond the point they

[11:55] need protection. But after 9 years of

[11:58] study, environmental agencies still

[12:00] don't have a definitive answer.

[12:01] >> It takes years to develop uh data uh

[12:04] monitoring every year as to the impacts

[12:06] that the corrants are having on the

[12:08] fisheries um because that's what type of

[12:10] information is necessary to make an

[12:12] informed decision. Officials say the

[12:13] number of birds killed on Lake Ontario

[12:15] won't seriously harm the bird

[12:17] population, but it is being called one

[12:20] of the worst mass killings of a

[12:21] protected species in recent memory. Mark

[12:25] Mullen, ABC News, New York.

[12:28] >> Some news now from overseas. In Ireland,

[12:30] the government has released six

[12:32] notorious terrorists, members of the

[12:34] Irish Republican Army, as part of the

[12:36] peace agreement that was signed this

[12:38] spring. But this morning, a reminder of

[12:40] how fragile peace is. In Northern

[12:43] Ireland, a powerful bomb went off in a

[12:45] Protestant town southwest of Belfast. At

[12:47] least six people were hurt. When we come

[12:50] back, a hospital mixup. Could a mother

[12:53] who thought she lost her baby 23 years

[12:55] ago find him alive?

[13:18] I bought this car for me.

[13:22] But if anyone takes notice,

[13:24] that's okay, too.

[13:28] Aurora, defy convention.

[13:31] >> I got a letter back from Quaker. You

[13:33] wrote to Quaker. told him Quaker Toasted

[13:35] Oatmeal ought to be called Quaker Tasty

[13:37] Oatmeal. It's oatmeal. It's toasted. To

[13:39] me, that says tasty.

[13:41] >> Well, then they should call it that.

[13:43] >> Quaker toasted oatmeal. Crisp oatmeal

[13:45] flakes with honey sweetened oat

[13:46] clusters.

[13:47] >> Well, they thank me for my interest, but

[13:48] said product will remain Quaker toasted

[13:50] oatmeal.

[13:51] >> What a shock.

[13:52] >> Quaker tasty uh toasted oatmeal, your

[13:55] other oatmeal.

[13:56] >> And now Quaker Honey Nut toasted oatmeal

[13:58] has 20% more almonds.

[14:00] >> Oo, yum.

[14:07] You know it makes me want

[14:13] >> shower gets out more tough stains better

[14:15] than spray and wash in just one try.

[14:22] >> Want a tough stain out the first time?

[14:24] Shout it out. Essie Johnson wax. You

[14:27] know it makes me want to shout.

[14:32] >> If you quit working after only 4 hours,

[14:34] you'd probably get fired. Right. Right.

[14:36] That's what ordinary pain relievers do.

[14:38] Work for a while, then quit. But now

[14:41] there's a leave. Only a leave has a

[14:43] strength to work all day long with just

[14:46] two pills. It would take eight Tylenol

[14:48] to do that. So if the pain reliever you

[14:50] use doesn't work the way you want, fire

[14:52] it. Fire it and take a leave. Two pills,

[14:55] all day relief. Works for me.

[15:02] Get your hot dogs here. Get your hot

[15:04] dogs here.

[15:05] >> Some folks are still brushing off the

[15:07] NFL preseason.

[15:08] >> Hot your dick DOGS HERE.

[15:10] >> FIVE CONTEST. THE players are ready. The

[15:12] Steelers beat the Buccaneers in the Hall

[15:14] of Fame game. Next on ABC.

[15:18] >> News today in the war on drugs. The

[15:20] latest battleground is America's

[15:22] heartland, not the inner city. The drug

[15:24] is methamphetamines. Seizures are up,

[15:27] seizures of speed are dramatically up,

[15:28] and the police are overwhelmed. Here's

[15:31] ABC's Anderson Cooper. Wayne County in

[15:34] southern Iowa is the last place you'd

[15:36] expect to find a clandestine drug lab.

[15:43] >> But this week, police raided three homes

[15:45] here suspected of being used to make

[15:47] methamphetamine.

[15:48] >> It's taken Iowa over by wildfire, and

[15:51] that's all I see is methamphetamine. And

[15:53] the manufacturing is going complete out

[15:55] of sight.

[15:56] >> Last year, five Midwestern states saw a

[15:58] 48% increase in the number of meth labs

[16:00] seized. And the numbers keep rising. In

[16:03] Iowa alone, in the past 7 months, 120

[16:06] homemade meth labs have been found.

[16:08] Nearly double the number for all of

[16:10] 1997.

[16:11] >> Once someone learns how to manufacture,

[16:13] they teach more people. So, it's kind of

[16:15] like a spiderweb that just keeps on

[16:17] growing. growing because methamphetamine

[16:19] or crank as it's also called is

[16:21] relatively easy to make. The chemicals

[16:24] are readily available in farming

[16:26] communities and the wide open spaces

[16:28] help hide the noxious smell produced by

[16:30] cooking meth. For drug addicts the

[16:32] appeal is a cheap high says this former

[16:34] user.

[16:35] >> When I was doing cocaine I was doing

[16:37] about,000 anywhere from 1,000-500 a day

[16:41] and with crank you can bring it down to

[16:43] 200 bucks a day. For law enforcement

[16:46] authorities here in Iowa, getting rid of

[16:47] methamphetamine labs is proving to be

[16:49] extremely difficult and dangerous. The

[16:52] labs are small, easy to hide, and the

[16:54] chemicals used highly toxic.

[16:57] >> Senator Tom Harkin recently sponsored a

[16:59] bill asking Congress to increase funding

[17:01] to combat meth in the Midwest.

[17:03] >> Every time we find a meth lab in Iowa,

[17:06] it's cost between 3,000 and $15,000 to

[17:09] clean it up. And there's hazardous waste

[17:10] there.

[17:12] But even with more resources, police in

[17:15] Iowa admit they'll have a hard time

[17:16] stopping the problem. In this state's

[17:19] deceptively quiet countryside, the drug

[17:21] is just too easy to make, too appealing

[17:24] for those looking for a cheap,

[17:25] longlasting high. Anderson Cooper, ABC

[17:29] News, De Mo, Iowa.

[17:31] >> In North Carolina, federal investigators

[17:33] say they want Eric Robert Rudolph to

[17:35] know they are not going anywhere.

[17:38] They've been searching the rugged

[17:39] landscape around the clock for 3 weeks

[17:41] now, and they say they will stay until

[17:43] Rudolph is found. Rudolph is a suspect

[17:46] in the bombing of a Birmingham abortion

[17:48] clinic. Two stories today involving

[17:50] babies switched at birth. In Virginia, a

[17:53] woman recently learned that the girl she

[17:54] raised for the past 3 years is not her

[17:57] biological child. She now claims it may

[17:59] have happened because the hospital

[18:01] ignored its own rules and never gave the

[18:03] child an ID bracelet. The other dispute

[18:06] is in Utah involving a child who died

[18:08] more than 20 years ago. Here's ABC's

[18:11] Jane Clayson.

[18:13] Every week, Janet Johnson visits the

[18:15] grave of a baby she thought was her son.

[18:18] She now believes her son may still be

[18:20] alive.

[18:21] >> I just feel like he's got to be out

[18:24] there somewhere. 23 years ago, after

[18:26] what she thought was a normal pregnancy,

[18:29] doctors told Johnson she had given birth

[18:31] to a stillborn baby boy at this hospital

[18:34] near Salt Lake City. It was a

[18:36] devastating experience to lose my baby,

[18:39] but I never ever questioned it.

[18:44] >> Not until years later when a TV talk

[18:46] show about baby switching made her

[18:48] suspicious. Johnson meticulously

[18:50] gathered hospital records and medical

[18:52] reports that she discovered gave

[18:54] conflicting information about her baby's

[18:56] condition and a death certificate in

[18:58] which a name had been altered. Jana

[19:01] Johnson finally decided to have the body

[19:03] exumed and DNA tests proved the baby she

[19:07] buried 23 years ago was not hers. I

[19:10] always thought there's a possibility

[19:13] that the report could come back that

[19:16] way, but we were just in such hopes that

[19:19] it would be a match and that we could go

[19:22] on with our life.

[19:23] >> Hospital investigators say they have no

[19:26] doubt the baby was still born and

[19:27] they're focusing on an accidental switch

[19:29] at the morg or mortuary.

[19:31] >> This particular case is 23 years old.

[19:33] It's very hard to piece together the

[19:35] details at this point. This is extremely

[19:37] unusual. Police are also investigating.

[19:40] They have ruled out a mistake at the

[19:42] mortuary, but have very few other leads.

[19:45] >> We're not investigating a criminal

[19:47] matter right now, we're investigating a

[19:49] suspicious circumstance.

[19:50] >> Johnson went on to raise eight children,

[19:53] but she never forgot the one she lost.

[19:55] And until she finds him or the truth,

[19:58] she says she will not rest. Jane

[20:01] Clayson, ABC News, Salt Lake City.

[20:04] Coming up in just a moment, breaking

[20:06] records, changing traditions, and

[20:08] rebuilding a nation's pride. Is there

[20:10] anything this young woman can't do?

[20:16] Why does Tums control acid faster than

[20:19] Pepsidac?

[20:20] Because they work on your stomach acid

[20:22] in totally different ways. Tums calcium

[20:24] naturally rapidly neutralizes acid, so

[20:27] it works fast. Pepsidac's famotedine has

[20:30] to travel through your bloodstream. So

[20:32] it takes at least 40 minutes to block

[20:34] natural acid production.

[20:36] >> So why does Tums work on acid faster and

[20:39] cost less and Pepsid AC works slower and

[20:41] cost more?

[20:42] >> Good question.

[20:50] >> The comfort collection from Ethan Allen.

[20:57] Comfortably priced sofas and chairs.

[21:00] Custom upholstery that's at home, even

[21:03] if your house

[21:06] is a zoo.

[21:08] The comfort collection from Ethan Allen,

[21:11] where everyone's at home. The summer

[21:14] sale is on now.

[21:18] >> Sun is rising.

[21:22] >> Looks like a great day.

[21:25] It's a great day for the comfort and

[21:27] convenience of changing tint transitions

[21:29] lenses. Indoors they lighten, outdoors,

[21:32] they darken. So lightweight plastic

[21:35] transitions lenses are right in any

[21:37] light. Make the change to transitions

[21:39] lenses and see for yourself.

[21:42] >> It's a great day.

[21:43] >> Transitions lenses. Right in any light

[21:45] and right for you.

[21:48] KEEP THE COLOR. OKAY, that's enough.

[21:52] >> Get your stick down.

[21:57] >> Bayer relieves the inflammation that can

[21:59] cause joint pain and stiffness. Tylenol

[22:01] can't. And take it regularly. Only Bayer

[22:03] can help save your life by reducing the

[22:05] risk of another heart attack. Ask your

[22:07] doctor. Okay, boys, let's play nights.

[22:10] Come on. Come on.

[22:11] >> Bayer powerful pain relief and so much

[22:13] more. Also, try Extra Strength Bayer PM,

[22:15] the only nighttime aspirin.

[22:18] In Windsor, Ontario today, Paci is

[22:21] trying to become the first person ever

[22:23] to win three major titles in her first

[22:25] year of professional golf, but she has

[22:28] already lifted the spirits of an entire

[22:30] country. ABC's Mark Litki is in South

[22:33] Korea.

[22:35] >> In the world of golf, she's a sensation.

[22:38] At home, she's a national hero. With

[22:42] every tournament, South Koreans gather

[22:44] to cheer her on. They're glued to sets

[22:48] in train stations, in college dorms,

[22:50] even in public bags. People can't get

[22:53] enough of Paci.

[22:55] Koreans, in fact, are so taken with

[22:57] their Pac they say she has

[22:59] single-handedly lifted the nation's

[23:01] spirits.

[23:02] >> The economy is in such terrible shape,

[23:05] he says. But Pac is giving us

[23:07] self-confidence again.

[23:09] >> Pac has restored our sense of pride. And

[23:12] it's more than a feeling. South Korea's

[23:15] stock market and currency have both

[23:18] strengthened since Pac's winning streak

[23:19] began. Economists are calling it the Pac

[23:22] factor.

[23:24] >> Pac success is also changing the image

[23:27] of golf in South Korea. Once a game for

[23:30] the rich and powerful and mostly men.

[23:33] Now it seems everyone wants to try their

[23:35] hand at it. Participation and sales are

[23:38] up 30% for the year. Despite the

[23:41] terrible recession here, the golf

[23:42] industry is booming. The most popular

[23:46] accessory, that gray and black shirt Pac

[23:48] wore in the US Open. Shops can't keep

[23:51] them in stock. But the biggest interest

[23:53] of all is among the young boys and girls

[23:57] encouraged by their doting parents

[23:59] trying to become the next Paci. The

[24:02] girls especially proud of their

[24:04] champion. Pock, it seems, has not only

[24:07] raised the nation's spirits, she's

[24:09] brought families closer together. The

[24:11] image of fathers teaching daughters is

[24:13] no small thing in this traditionally

[24:15] maledominated society. Good reason for

[24:18] Paci to be as proud of her countrymen as

[24:22] they are of her. Mark Litki, ABC News,

[24:26] Soul.

[24:28] >> When we come back, honoring a hero who

[24:30] soared above the rest.

[24:37] Diane loves a good challenge and this is

[24:40] it. Get the Advil ready. Advil means

[24:43] freedom from headaches fast. Headaches

[24:46] to muscle aches. Advil simply lets

[24:49] people do what they love to do.

[24:52] >> Is there a store between here and the

[24:53] Canadian border we haven't been to?

[24:56] >> Honey, I'm beat. I'm starving.

[24:59] >> Here's something good for you.

[25:00] >> Ensure your bars. Complete balanced

[25:02] nutrition to go.

[25:03] >> Ensure bars with protein, 24 vitamins

[25:06] and minerals, including calcium, vitamin

[25:08] D, iron, zinc, antioxidant, C, and E. A

[25:11] source of complete balanced nutrition.

[25:13] >> Delicious. What's next?

[25:15] >> The Canadian border.

[25:16] >> I'm ready.

[25:18] >> Ensure bars to your health.

[25:22] >> I'm 64. Is there anything I can do to

[25:25] stop bone loss?

[25:26] >> Absolutely. Here's proof. In a landmark

[25:28] clinical study, Calrate actually stopped

[25:30] bone loss in women at risk for

[25:32] osteoporosis, whatever your age.

[25:35] >> It's never too late for Calrate.

[25:38] >> Ouch.

[25:38] >> You stop brushing with Censine every

[25:40] day. Your dentist said Censine everyday

[25:43] helps take pain away.

[25:45] >> Sometimes I feel like I'm married a

[25:46] dentist.

[25:47] >> Sensedine everyday. Now for whiter

[25:49] teeth, use new Sensidine extra whitening

[25:51] everyday. How do these monks eat all

[25:54] these gassy foods and still maintain

[25:56] their vow of silence? With Pino. It has

[25:59] a natural food enzyme that helps stop

[26:01] gas before it starts. Bino before, quiet

[26:06] after. Sunday, sex scandals, corruption,

[26:09] charges of murder. Sound familiar? Well,

[26:12] these are headlines from a White House

[26:13] of the past. That and more on Good

[26:15] Morning America Sunday.

[26:19] An American hero was remembered today in

[26:21] Houston. Astronaut Alan Shepard showed

[26:24] just how high America could aim. Here's

[26:26] ABC's Valerie Williams.

[26:29] >> Yes, sir. Ready? Clear.

[26:32] >> Nearly 40 years ago, Alan Shepard proved

[26:34] the frontiers of space could be

[26:36] conquered. And today at the Johnson

[26:38] Space Center, the men and women who

[26:40] followed his path into orbit came to

[26:42] eulogize Shepard's Days of Glory. I want

[26:45] to pay tribute to him

[26:47] and what a privilege it was to serve

[26:49] with Alan Shepard

[26:53] and I'm sure that wherever it is that

[26:56] astronauts and explorers go when we

[26:59] depart this realm one day we will all be

[27:01] doing together again.

[27:03] >> Leukemia destroyed Shepherd's body, but

[27:06] his legacy as America's first astronaut

[27:08] into space still stirs the imagination.

[27:11] >> All right, lift off and the clock is

[27:13] started. In 1961, sitting aboard a

[27:15] Mercury Redstone rocket with only an 88%

[27:18] chance of success, Shepard soared into

[27:21] space. His flight lasted a mere 15

[27:24] minutes. But Shepard restored much of

[27:26] the patriotic pride the Russians stole

[27:28] only 3 weeks earlier by putting the

[27:30] first man into space.

[27:32] >> He brought us back because Al took that

[27:34] challenge from the Soviets, not only as

[27:36] the patriot he was, Al took that

[27:38] personally. Less than a month later,

[27:40] President Kennedy announced that America

[27:42] would have a man on the moon by the end

[27:44] of the decade. 10 years later, Shepard

[27:46] became the fifth man to walk the lunar

[27:48] surface. Anybody try out here?

[27:52] >> He made the Apollo 14 mission famous by

[27:54] taking advantage of the moon's weak

[27:56] gravity and driving golf balls miles

[27:58] into space. Shepard was criticized by

[28:01] some other astronauts for the stunt. But

[28:04] today, Buzz Aldrin, the second man to

[28:06] walk on the moon, says Shepard's playful

[28:08] moment taught him something.

[28:10] >> He showed us that that's what the

[28:12] American people really want. They they

[28:14] want levity mixed in with uh with

[28:16] serious commitments.

[28:18] >> When Shepard's capsule landed from that

[28:20] first historic ride into outer space, he

[28:22] said, "Boy, what a ride." Some might

[28:24] say, looking back on Shepard's career,

[28:27] "Boy, what a life." Valerie Williams,

[28:29] ABC News, Houston.
