[0:00] Join Paul Linman and Melissa Mills
[0:02] tonight on Channel 2 News at 6:30
[0:11] from ABC. This is World News Tonight
[0:14] with Peter Jennings. Sitting in tonight,
[0:17] Forest Toy.
[0:18] >> Good evening. Now, the Democratic race
[0:20] for president is down to two. Paul Sonis
[0:23] stepped out of the campaign today having
[0:24] gathered only half as many delegates as
[0:27] Bill Clinton and steadily losing
[0:29] momentum and running out of money.
[0:31] Songis withdrew with characteristic
[0:33] humor, saying, "Money is the mother's
[0:36] milk of politics, but our mothers didn't
[0:38] show up." ABC's Jack Smith is in Boston.
[0:43] >> The man who just two days ago said he'd
[0:45] go all the way to the convention today
[0:48] said he had no choice but to throw in
[0:50] the towel. The alternative was to play
[0:52] the role of spoiler. That is not what
[0:54] I'm about. That is not worthy. I did not
[0:58] survive my ordeals in order to be the
[1:01] agent of the re-election of George Bush.
[1:04] Song said it was plain from his defeats
[1:06] in Florida, Michigan, and Illinois that
[1:08] he hadn't built up the money he needed
[1:09] to buy TV commercials, and it was only
[1:12] going to get worse. And last evening, it
[1:14] was clear that we did not have the
[1:16] resources necessary to fight the media
[1:19] war in New York.
[1:21] >> Campaign aids say he'd have ended owing
[1:23] more than a million dollars had he
[1:25] continued.
[1:26] No one took Songiously until the New
[1:29] Hampshire primary made him briefly the
[1:31] Democratic front runner, the voters's
[1:33] choice.
[1:34] >> The American people are deciding tonight
[1:37] they want a president, not Santa Claus.
[1:41] But his tell it like it is message of
[1:43] economic austerity while attracting many
[1:46] upscale suburban Democrats flopped with
[1:48] those who make up most of the party's
[1:50] voters. What he was unable to do was put
[1:53] together the coalition of white
[1:54] bluecollar workers and black voters. And
[1:57] that's what it takes to win Democratic
[1:59] primaries.
[2:00] >> Asked today about Bill Clinton, the man
[2:02] he once called cynical and unprincipled,
[2:04] Song said he's not supporting anyone. No
[2:07] hard feelings, but no endorsements
[2:09] either. at least not yet. Jack Smith,
[2:12] ABC News, Boston. In fact, the Democrats
[2:15] intended for this primary system to weed
[2:17] out candidates quickly by scheduling
[2:20] important primaries early on. They were
[2:22] trying to avoid a knockdown dragout
[2:24] fight at the convention that would only
[2:26] help the Republicans. Of course, that
[2:28] strategy has its problems, too. As Jeff
[2:31] Greenfield reports, why is this man
[2:34] smiling? Maybe because he's one giant
[2:36] step closer to wrapping up the
[2:38] nomination. And recent history shows
[2:40] that the best way to get elected
[2:41] president is to avoid a long, bruising
[2:43] primary campaign. It's a virtually
[2:46] unbroken record. Goldwater in ' 64,
[2:49] Humphrey in ' 68, McGovern in 72, Ford
[2:53] in 76, Carter in 80, Montdale in 84, all
[2:58] battled right to the convention and all
[2:59] lost in November. The party which has
[3:02] the longest and bloodiest and most
[3:04] expensive fight for the nomination
[3:06] always loses the general election.
[3:08] >> Jodie Powell, who was press secretary to
[3:10] Jimmy Carter, remembers the cost of the
[3:12] bruising 1980 battle for renomination
[3:14] against Ted Kennedy.
[3:15] >> That ability to to have a few weeks to
[3:18] stop and think through and really make
[3:20] sure you've made that shift from a
[3:22] primary strategy to a general election
[3:24] strategy uh is is is lost if you have to
[3:28] carry that fight all the way to the
[3:30] convention. So, why is this man
[3:32] frowning? Maybe because history also
[3:34] shows that when a candidate emerges as a
[3:36] clear front runner midway through the
[3:38] primaries, he often finds himself
[3:40] vulnerable to attack late in the game.
[3:42] For instance, Jerry Brown won five late
[3:44] primaries in 1976 as the stop Carter
[3:47] symbol.
[3:48] >> Brown's winning for president.
[3:50] >> This year, Brown could provide the same
[3:52] appeal for a stop Clinton movement,
[3:54] especially since he's shown signs
[3:55] recently of being able to track the
[3:57] growing anti-incumbency sentiment. If
[4:00] Bill Clinton can turn back Brown's
[4:02] challenge, if he can begin to think now
[4:04] about November, he'll have a luxury
[4:06] denied every Democratic candidate since
[4:08] 1976,
[4:09] which just happens to be the last time
[4:11] the Democrats won the White House. Jeff
[4:14] Greenfield, ABC News, New York. One more
[4:17] note on campaign debts. Remember
[4:18] Virginia's Governor Douglas Wilder? He
[4:21] didn't even make it to New Hampshire,
[4:22] but still owes $133,000.
[4:25] Senator John Glenn ran for president in
[4:27] 1984. He still owes3 million. And this
[4:31] former Texas Governor John Connelly in
[4:33] 1980 he spent $11 million in the
[4:36] Republican primaries against Ronald
[4:37] Reagan. Got exactly one delegate still
[4:40] owes $841,000.
[4:43] On the subject of money, there is yet
[4:44] another story about how it's being
[4:46] handled or mishandled on Capitol Hill
[4:48] today. It has to do with how some
[4:50] members of the House of Representatives
[4:52] used the House Post Office. Here's ABC's
[4:55] Koki Roberts.
[4:57] New charges today of the questionable
[4:59] practice of House members cashing checks
[5:01] at their own post office hit
[5:04] representatives already reeling from the
[5:06] bank scandal and forced the speaker into
[5:09] more damage control.
[5:10] >> There is no spreading scandal here.
[5:14] There are unfortunately charges of some
[5:17] misconduct by post office employees.
[5:20] Charges of embezzlement and drug dealing
[5:22] at the post office have been under
[5:24] criminal investigation for months and
[5:26] members have been demanding the
[5:28] resignation of the postmaster, Robert
[5:30] Roa. It was read to them today.
[5:33] >> I respectfully submit to you my
[5:35] resignation as postmaster.
[5:37] >> The new charges come as members are
[5:39] feeling particularly embattled by angry
[5:41] voters talking about turning out their
[5:44] representatives. Many members worried
[5:46] for their political futures are ready to
[5:48] close down or pay for the things voters
[5:51] see as perks. There might be some need
[5:54] for a doctor in the House, but many
[5:56] members now want to pay full price for
[5:59] drugs, not get them free, to charge
[6:02] members, staff, and journalists for
[6:04] parking, and to stop offering cut rate
[6:06] gifts in the stationary store. When
[6:09] voters seem angry about any hint of
[6:12] congressional privilege, representatives
[6:14] seem ready to make the choice, lose the
[6:17] perks, and keep the job. Koki Roberts,
[6:20] ABC News, Capitol Hill.
[6:22] >> Clear evidence today of how angry the
[6:24] public is about all this. In an ABC News
[6:27] Washington Post poll last night, eight
[6:29] out of 10 people told us they would be
[6:31] less likely to reelect their
[6:33] representative if he or she repeatedly
[6:35] wrote bad checks. and 76% said they
[6:38] disapprove of the way Congress as a
[6:40] whole is doing its job. That is the
[6:42] highest negative rating since we first
[6:44] asked the question back in 1974.
[6:47] When we come back, Iraq's weapons of
[6:49] mass destruction. The US steps up the
[6:51] pressure to get rid of them. On the
[6:53] American agenda, help for the single
[6:54] parent. And civil wars royal style at
[6:58] Buckingham Palace.
[7:03] This is World News Tonight with Peter
[7:05] Jennings, brought to you by Fleshman's
[7:08] Margarine.
[7:10] >> Fleshman's margarine asks, "What is
[7:12] good?" Oh, that's good. Real good. And
[7:16] that that's very good. Fleshman, of
[7:20] course. That's good. And will you look
[7:23] at that?
[7:25] Oh, there you go. That's better than
[7:27] good.
[7:30] Oh boy.
[7:31] >> Fleshman's margarine. Have you been good
[7:33] to yourself today?
[7:35] >> That's good. Fleshman's. Be good to
[7:38] yourself.
[7:40] >> Ace is a place for helpful hardware
[7:42] folks at Best Buys like these.
[7:44] >> Ace five-star latex flat wall paint is
[7:47] 777 a gallon. And these Rubbermaid
[7:49] laundry baskets are only 2.88 each.
[7:51] >> Ace Best Buy.
[7:53] >> Another reason Ace is a place
[7:54] >> for you. Everybody needs some money.
[8:00] >> Only Western Union can get money to over
[8:02] 16,000 locations in minutes. Nobody else
[8:05] even comes close.
[8:07] Western Union, the fastest way to send
[8:10] money.
[8:12] From the Pentagon today, another warning
[8:14] for Iraq. For a number of weeks now, the
[8:16] United Nations has been threatening Iraq
[8:18] with serious consequences unless it
[8:21] dismantles its weapons of mass
[8:22] destruction. ABC's Bob Zelnick has
[8:24] learned the details of what those
[8:26] serious consequences might mean.
[8:30] >> Pentagon officials continue to threaten
[8:32] Iraq with renewed Allied bombing if the
[8:34] Iraqis failed to begin destroying
[8:35] ballistic missile equipment.
[8:37] >> We have said since the end of the war
[8:39] that we've always had military options
[8:41] that all options are open. That has been
[8:44] the case since the end of the operation.
[8:46] It's still the case today. The critical
[8:48] period begins this Saturday when a
[8:50] special team of UN inspectors returns to
[8:52] Iraq. Diplomatic sources say the team
[8:55] has identified 10 items for immediate
[8:57] destruction, ranging from castings used
[9:00] to mold Scud missile shells to a
[9:03] computer which programs ballistic
[9:04] missiles. In addition, Iraq must submit
[9:07] concrete plans for the destruction of
[9:10] more than 40 other items. If Iraq fails
[9:13] to comply, Pentagon sources say US war
[9:15] plananes and cruise missiles could soon
[9:17] be ordered to attack Iraqi targets.
[9:21] About two dozen facilities identified by
[9:24] UN inspectors as part of Iraq's nuclear
[9:26] weapons and ballistic missile programs.
[9:29] The talk about possible force is
[9:31] designed to make sure Iraq understands
[9:33] the seriousness of the issue. Officials
[9:36] say the effective deadline for
[9:37] compliance is March 29th when the UN
[9:40] inspection team is scheduled to leave
[9:42] Baghdad. Bob Zelnik, ABC News at the
[9:45] Pentagon.
[9:46] >> There is another issue of dispute
[9:48] between the UN and Iraq. Oil. Iraq wants
[9:51] to start selling again. The UN says only
[9:53] on our terms. Negotiations which were
[9:56] suspended in January will resume next
[9:58] week in Vienna. As ABC's Sheila McVicker
[10:01] reports, Iraq desperately needs the
[10:03] money and is ready to start doing
[10:05] business.
[10:06] >> Iraq's southern oil fields still bear
[10:09] the scars of the Gulf War. Oil storage
[10:11] tanks flattened in last year's bombing
[10:13] campaign. The Baser refinery, Iraq's
[10:16] second largest, blown apart in repeated
[10:18] Allied attacks. But in spite of the UN
[10:21] embargo prohibiting the import of spare
[10:23] parts and new machinery, Iraq is working
[10:26] to rebuild the industry. Damaged
[10:28] equipment has been salvaged and
[10:30] repaired. Iraqi workers have learned to
[10:32] do jobs previously done by foreign
[10:34] labor. And because Iraq maintained a
[10:36] 2-year stockpile of material, some spare
[10:38] parts were available. A year after the
[10:41] Gulf War, Iraq's oil industry is almost
[10:44] back to pre-war capability. Iraqi
[10:47] officials say they want foreign
[10:48] companies, including Americans, to come
[10:50] back. And they say Iraq is ready to
[10:53] resume sales abroad. But the UN
[10:55] sanctions prevent that. And Iraq has so
[10:58] far refused to accept a UN resolution
[11:00] that would have allowed an exception.
[11:02] The UN said Iraq could sell $1.6 billion
[11:05] dollar worth of its oil, but could use
[11:07] the money only to buy food and medicine
[11:09] and pay war reparations to Kuwait.
[11:12] Iraq's oil minister says his country has
[11:14] not been able to reach agreement with
[11:15] the UN because Iraq has felt his
[11:18] sovereignty was threatened.
[11:20] They're using the Kuwaiti thing just as
[11:24] an excuse to really
[11:28] uh force their political wealth on the
[11:31] Iraqi people.
[11:33] >> The UN says the new talks will be based
[11:35] on the same terms Iraq has already
[11:37] rejected. Iraq may be willing to go back
[11:40] to the table because it needs the export
[11:42] sales not only for the sake of its
[11:44] people but to keep its prepared oil
[11:46] industry going. Without UN approval to
[11:49] import the additives and chemicals
[11:50] needed to refine oil, all of Iraq's oil
[11:53] industry will collapse and the country
[11:55] will have no way to process even the
[11:57] small amount of oil that fuels its
[11:59] industries and cars. Sheila Mcficker,
[12:01] ABC News, Rome for oil field.
[12:04] >> And still overseas, the US says a
[12:06] thousand Americans living in Libya
[12:08] should leave while they still can. The
[12:10] UN says Libya has not cooperated with
[12:12] the investigation of the bombing of
[12:14] Panama Flight 103. And next week, the UN
[12:17] may impose sanctions which include an
[12:19] embargo on all air travel. Israel today,
[12:23] they're talking about hard times ahead.
[12:25] And it is now pretty clear that with
[12:27] Israel's refusal to stop building
[12:29] settlements on the occupied West Bank,
[12:31] the US will not provide $10 billion in
[12:34] loan guarantees. So, Israel is looking
[12:37] elsewhere. Here's ABC's Dean Reynolds.
[12:41] It is slowly dawning on the Israeli
[12:43] public that without American help, there
[12:45] is little hope that commercial banks
[12:47] will lend this country the money it
[12:48] needs to settle immigrants from the
[12:50] former Soviet Union and little hope that
[12:53] foreign contributors can pick up the
[12:54] slack.
[12:55] >> I think the Jewish community can provide
[12:57] more money, but I do not believe they
[12:59] can provide all the money which is
[13:01] needed.
[13:02] >> Israel had already committed itself to
[13:04] spend $2 billion of the 10 billion it
[13:06] thought it would get with the US
[13:08] guarantees. Now, taxes will have to be
[13:11] raised and public services will have to
[13:13] be trimmed. Care for the immigrants, 50%
[13:16] of whom are unemployed, will fall
[13:18] increasingly to private charities. The
[13:21] pace of immigration is slowing
[13:22] considerably as word of Israel's
[13:24] economic hardship spreads. February's
[13:27] arrivals from the old Soviet Union were
[13:29] the fewest in 2 years. But as Israel
[13:32] looks for money to keep immigration
[13:34] going, it is not touching the budget for
[13:36] settlements. Construction in the
[13:38] occupied territories continues without
[13:40] interruption. The government's
[13:42] attachment to settlements has convinced
[13:44] a growing number of newcomers that they
[13:46] are not a top priority here. Some have
[13:49] given up on Israel and are actually
[13:51] going back to where they came from. Dean
[13:54] Reynolds, ABC News, Tel Aviv. When we
[13:57] come back, silicone gel breast implants.
[14:00] Why Dal Corning is getting out of the
[14:02] business.
[14:10] the road.
[14:15] But why am I the only one?
[14:20] >> The Lexus LS400 features a very
[14:23] sophisticated suspension system. So,
[14:26] while life may have its rough stretches,
[14:28] you'll ride through it. Won't
[14:35] Step on it. It's the final week of Color
[14:38] Tile's biggest sale of the year.
[14:39] >> Wow. Save up to 67%.
[14:41] >> Dupant stain master carpet 11.66. That's

[15:17] Miracle Grow spikes for more beautiful
[15:19] house plants.
[15:21] >> Rebate. Rebate.
[15:22] >> Now is the best time to buy built to
[15:24] last appliances from Frigid Air because
[15:26] you'll find rockolid rebates on
[15:28] refrigerators, washers, ranges, and
[15:30] more. So why not hop on over to your
[15:32] Frigid Air dealer and pick up something
[15:34] new for your patent.
[15:37] The country's largest maker of silicone
[15:39] gel breast implants has confirmed today
[15:42] it will stop making them. D Corning
[15:45] insists it has nothing to do with
[15:46] safety. It is strictly a business
[15:48] decision. Here's ABC's Betina Gregory.
[15:52] We have made
[15:52] >> the chairman of Dal Corning says his
[15:54] company will no longer make silicone gel
[15:56] breast implants because he thinks there
[15:58] won't be much demand for them.
[16:00] >> I'm the guy who made the decision we
[16:02] should not stay in this business. I made
[16:04] that on a business basis, not a safety
[16:07] basis. I don't know how I can say that
[16:08] any more clearer than that.
[16:10] >> D Corning insists there is still no link
[16:13] between silicone gel implants and
[16:15] disease. But the company says it will
[16:17] set up a $10 million fund for research
[16:19] on the safety issue. And when you say a
[16:22] lot of problems like what for instance
[16:24] >> information lines were active today at
[16:26] DAO's Michigan headquarters after the
[16:28] company also announced it would provide
[16:30] $1,200 to any woman whose doctor advises
[16:33] the implant should be removed. To get
[16:35] the money, all a woman would have to do
[16:37] is sign a statement saying the operation
[16:39] would cause a financial hardship. Dao
[16:41] admits the $1,200 may not cover the
[16:43] cost. An estimated 750,000 women
[16:47] worldwide have had Dowo Corning silicone
[16:49] gel implants inserted over the last 30
[16:51] years. The head of one breast cancer
[16:53] support group says it's time DAO took
[16:56] them off the market.
[16:57] >> There are thousands and thousands and
[16:59] thousands of women out there who are
[17:00] going to need follow-up care and we
[17:03] should put products on the market that
[17:04] are safe before they go on the market,
[17:06] not after they're removed. The FDA may
[17:09] well decide to allow silicone implants
[17:11] for cancer patients and a few women who
[17:13] want them for cosmetic reasons. DAO's
[17:16] exit leaves two companies that make
[17:17] silicone implants, but it's becoming
[17:19] clear that saline implants may be the
[17:22] best alternative.
[17:24] Patina Gregory, ABC News, Washington.
[17:27] >> Some mixed signs on the US economy
[17:29] today. The US trade deficit grew smaller
[17:31] in January down to 5.8 billion. Still,
[17:35] many economists say they are concerned
[17:37] that American exports were also down for
[17:40] the third month in a row. Wall Street
[17:42] today, the Dow Jones Industrials gained
[17:44] a little over seven points to close at
[17:45] 3261. The trading was heavy. We'll be
[17:49] back in a moment.
[17:55] Because sometimes the day ends and the
[17:57] pain doesn't, we've created Tylenol PM.
[18:00] It's more than relief. It's relief for
[18:03] those times when you can't sleep.

[18:15] you can wake up refreshed in the
[18:17] morning. From the name you trust comes
[18:19] Tylenol PM, so you can rest easy.
[18:24] New American cuisine from the menu. I
[18:27] love it. The white meat, the muffin, the
[18:29] glazes, the spice, the style, the smile,
[18:32] the salsa with rice, the tangy, the
[18:34] trendy, the let me suggest new American
[18:37] crimine, the menu, the best, the great
[18:40] combinations, the grilled with the care,
[18:42] the new way of eating with southw. The
[18:46] turkey, the sirloin. Woo! I'm impressed.
[18:48] New American cuisine, the menu, the
[18:51] best.
[18:54] Red Devil Enamel.
[18:57] You can always count on its durable
[19:00] finish. Harder than ordinary paints, its
[19:03] beauty lasts and lasts. Red Devil Enamel
[19:06] for the finish of a lifetime.
[19:10] Take a three, four, or 7day fun ship
[19:12] vacation to the Bahamas, Caribbean, or
[19:15] Mexican Riviera on Carnival, the most
[19:17] popular cruise line in the world.
[19:24] To get rid of her gray, my wife can
[19:26] spend 40 minutes. But I discovered this
[19:29] 5-minute hair coloring. The
[19:30] revolutionary discovery called Just for
[19:32] Men from the leader in men's hair
[19:34] coloring. Simply apply Just for Men and
[19:36] in 5 minutes, shampoo out. Gray is
[19:38] blended away. The look of my natural
[19:40] color is back in 5 minutes. That was me.
[19:42] And it won't fade or wash out.
[19:44] >> My hair takes forever, but you look
[19:46] great in just 5 minutes. The look of
[19:49] your natural color in just five minutes

[19:55] >> On the American agenda tonight, the
[19:57] single parent family, fact is one in
[20:00] every four children in America is now
[20:02] growing up with just one parent. And of
[20:04] those families, more than a third are
[20:06] living below the poverty line. We've put
[20:08] the subject on the agenda because of a
[20:10] new experiment that aims to provide
[20:12] these parents with a little leverage.
[20:15] Our agenda reporter is Ken Cashahara.
[20:19] As a single parent on a small income,
[20:21] Jennifer Rutherdale had to work two jobs
[20:24] just to pay the bills. That meant
[20:26] leaving her 2-year-old daughter with a
[20:28] babysitter at 4:30 in the morning.
[20:30] >> I was working 70, 80 hours a week. I
[20:33] never got to see my daughter. I felt
[20:35] like she didn't know who I was. I was
[20:37] just very lonely and depressed.
[20:39] >> Otis Battle, another single parent, had
[20:41] to live in a low rent neighborhood where
[20:42] drugs were sold. He couldn't afford
[20:44] daycare for his 9-year-old. My son was
[20:47] fighting kids every day. We'd have
[20:50] police bus right in the apartment
[20:52] building. I was afraid that there was
[20:54] something happening to my child.
[20:56] >> For both parents, all that has changed.
[20:58] They now live in safe neighborhoods,
[21:00] sharing houses with other single parents
[21:02] at rents they can afford. They are part
[21:04] of an experiment run by a nonprofit
[21:06] organization called Innovative Housing.
[21:09] It leases 85 houses in the San Francisco
[21:11] area and negotiates below market rents
[21:14] with landlords. Then it brings together
[21:16] single parent families to live in one
[21:18] house, sharing the rent, the utilities,
[21:20] and child care.
[21:22] Jennifer Rutherdale now pays $300 a
[21:25] month less for housing, doesn't have to
[21:27] hold two jobs and can spend more time
[21:29] with her daughter, and with other single
[21:31] parents to talk to, she feels less
[21:33] lonely.
[21:36] >> They understand because they're going
[21:37] through it. They know how hard it is to
[21:40] bring in money to support your child, to
[21:42] keep a roof over your your child's head,
[21:44] to uh just keep sane. Basically,
[21:48] >> Otis Battle no longer worries about his
[21:50] son being home alone, living next to
[21:52] drug dealers. The biggest joy I get out
[21:55] of it is just seeing him get along with
[21:57] all the other children. Instead of
[22:00] fighting every day, I see him picking up
[22:02] books and reading.
[22:04] >> This program does more than change
[22:05] living arrangements. It changes lives.
[22:08] Counselors help single parents get an
[22:09] education, improve their job skills,
[22:12] manage their money, and get along with
[22:14] people.
[22:14] >> Yeah, get the garlic.
[22:16] >> I like garlic.
[22:17] >> Getting along with people is a test they
[22:19] face every day. Although parents have
[22:21] their own bedrooms, they must learn to
[22:22] live closely with others and share
[22:24] household responsibilities that can lead
[22:27] to problems.
[22:28] >> Do you want to restructure the way
[22:29] you're handling the chores? Now,
[22:31] >> once a week, a social worker conducts a
[22:34] house meeting to resolve disputes. The
[22:36] bathroom has been really messy though.
[22:38] That's true.
[22:39] >> So, what can we do about it? If you go
[22:41] in the bathroom and it's a mess, wipe it
[22:44] off or there's dirt on the floor. We got
[22:45] to, you know, make an effort. The real
[22:47] thing that we're trying to work with is
[22:49] not to try to say that there isn't
[22:50] conflict, but what do you do when there
[22:51] is conflict and how do you communicate
[22:53] your expectations?
[22:55] >> They are also taught how to be better
[22:57] parents, how to discipline their
[22:59] children in weekly sessions with a
[23:01] psychologist. I was tired and I didn't
[23:04] and my way of reacting was just be angry
[23:07] with throw up. Um,
[23:08] >> so what did you get? You yelled. Is that
[23:10] what you said?
[23:10] >> Well, yeah. I got out there and for
[23:13] whatever.
[23:13] >> Well, we're parenting. They're talking
[23:15] to slow down and think it through and
[23:17] why are we doing what we're doing? And
[23:20] this is this is what we want to do.
[23:21] >> Should we be reacting this harsh or
[23:23] >> Mhm.
[23:24] >> This is pretty good. We came up with a
[23:25] good idea.
[23:26] >> Shared housing is not for everyone. Some
[23:29] parents find they simply can't live with
[23:31] others. But with more and more single
[23:33] parent families on the verge of
[23:34] homelessness, housing experts say the
[23:36] demand for lowcost shared housing is
[23:38] increasing. For most, this is a
[23:41] temporary solution. Many eventually
[23:43] become financially independent. In one
[23:45] county, nearly half the single parents
[23:47] were able to find jobs and get off
[23:49] welfare last year. ring around the room.
[23:54] >> For many, shared housing has become a
[23:56] way station where companionship replaces
[23:58] the loneliness of single parenthood.
[24:00] Where parents can develop better
[24:02] relationships with their children, where
[24:04] children are more likely to thrive. Ken
[24:07] Kosuara, ABC News, Certino, California.
[24:10] >> I don't know why you could.
[24:11] >> And we'll have our final report in a
[24:14] moment.
[24:20] Reintroducing a glorious name for a
[24:23] glorious new automobile. The 1992 Buick
[24:27] Roadmaster.
[24:29] With its powerful V8 performance, and
[24:31] the security of its driver's airbag,
[24:34] anti-lock brakes, and full perimeter
[24:36] frame, Roadmaster is perhaps the best
[24:39] value in an American luxury sedan.
[24:42] Roadmaster also delivers something only
[24:44] a Buick can deliver. Buick quality.
[24:49] Nice try, Jenny. What's wrong? You have
[24:54] arthritis. Me, too. It's hard to grip
[24:56] your racket, isn't it? Here, my doctor
[24:58] told me about this Motrin IB. It's the
[25:01] same medicine that's in prescription
[25:02] Motrin and non-prescription strength.
[25:05] It's great for minor arthritis pain. And
[25:07] one Motrin IB works as well as two
[25:10] regular aspirin. Try it. You'll have the
[25:12] advantage next set. Motrin IB, the
[25:15] relief of Motrin in non-prescription
[25:17] strength.
[25:20] >> Flakes. Just flakes. I hope you don't
[25:23] mind me saying so, but this stuff looks
[25:25] limpy. You know what I mean? I mean,
[25:26] look at it. Who's going to eat this
[25:28] stuff? Nobody I know. I can tell you
[25:30] that right now.
[25:34] This is good. I made a mistake. Okay.
[25:38] This is good. Simple down. I mean,
[25:40] that's a muscle. You know what I mean?
[25:42] Kellogg's cornflakes.
[25:44] Kellogg cornflakes.
[25:46] >> Taste them again for the first time.
[25:49] >> If you shoot someone, they take your gun
[25:51] away. So, should rapists be castrated
[25:53] instead of sent to jail? This one
[25:55] volunteered. Watch Prime Time tonight.
[26:00] You've no doubt heard the rumors
[26:02] floating around about the troubled
[26:03] marriage of Prince Andrew and Sarah
[26:05] Ferguson. Turns out the rumors are true.
[26:07] Buckingham Palace confirms they are
[26:09] separating. More than that, the battle
[26:12] lines are being drawn between Fergie and
[26:14] the royal family. John Lawrence has
[26:17] more.
[26:19] >> It's official. Fergie's marriage has
[26:21] ended. Stand at latest.
[26:25] >> The marriage may be ending, but the
[26:27] battle royal is just beginning. Sarah,
[26:30] the Duchess of York, has gone to war
[26:32] with Buckingham Palace.
[26:34] >> This is an unprecedented and most
[26:36] extraordinary set of circumstances. At
[26:40] the moment, I have to say I cannot I
[26:42] cannot imagine uh what has prompted her
[26:44] to do this. Uh it doesn't seem to me
[26:46] that it was in her interest at all to
[26:48] antagonize uh the royal family if that
[26:50] is how it has gone.
[26:52] >> The duchess seen here with her daughter
[26:54] Beatatrice at school today took the
[26:56] unusual step of hiring her own lawyers
[26:59] to negotiate her separation agreement
[27:02] rather than allow it to be done quietly
[27:04] by the royal family. she doesn't trust
[27:07] them and they don't like her.
[27:09] >> They certainly now don't think she was
[27:11] suitable as a a duchess to take I mean
[27:15] they've used the phrase she's not
[27:16] suitable to carry out public
[27:17] engagements. Now that's a terrible thing
[27:19] to say about somebody.
[27:20] >> It was Sarah's relationship with Steve
[27:23] Wyatt, the American businessman shown
[27:25] here on the right that got her in
[27:27] trouble with the royal family. Her
[27:29] husband, Prince Andrew, was said to be
[27:31] furious at seeing photographs of the
[27:33] couple coorting in Morocco last year.
[27:37] That turned the marriage sour.
[27:39] >> The indication is that she's going to be
[27:41] cut out from the royal family. Uh she is
[27:43] probably the first one not to be to
[27:45] retain her title. Uh as as it seems at
[27:47] the moment, she's not even going to be
[27:48] allowed to use the title Sarah, Duchess
[27:51] of York. Titled or not, Sarah is
[27:54] expected to get custody of her two
[27:56] children and receive a generous
[27:58] financial settlement. As her lawyers are
[28:00] aware, Buckingham Palace has no wish to
[28:03] see Sarah Ferguson's inside story of the
[28:06] royal family appearing in print. John
[28:09] Lawrence, ABC News, London.

[28:14] Tonight. I'm Forest Sawyer. For all of
[28:16] us at ABC News, good night.
