[0:23] Good morning. Charles Osgood is off
[0:25] today. I'm Harry Smith and this is
[0:27] Sunday morning. To begin this morning,
[0:29] word that Supreme Court Chief Justice
[0:31] William Renquist died last night of
[0:33] thyroid cancer. Renquist was 80 years
[0:36] old. We have more on his life and his
[0:38] life's work in just a minute. Nearly a
[0:41] week after it struck the central Gulf

[1:30] >> Big as it has been, the human tragedy in
[1:32] New Orleans is just one part of the
