[0:03] A miracle amid the madness as the

[0:05] earthquake death toll grows in Turkey. A

[0:08] young child is rescued after more than 3

[0:11] days buried alive. A drugresistant

[0:14] strain of a potentially deadly infection

[0:17] has spread beyond the hospital. And will

[0:20] the power go out New Year's Eve?

[0:22] Tonight, the dire Navy prediction and

[0:25] how it got torpedoed.

[0:30] This is the CBS Evening News with Dan

[0:34] Rather.

[0:36] >> Good evening. Dan is off tonight. I'm

[0:38] Bob Schaefer. With more than 35,000

[0:40] people still believe buried beneath the

[0:43] rubble, officials said tonight that the

[0:45] death toll from the Turkish earthquake

[0:47] may eventually reach a staggering 45,000

[0:51] people. Already, there are more than

[0:53] 10,000 confirmed dead. As the hunt for

[0:56] the missing goes on, the government has

[0:57] been overwhelmed with new problems

[1:00] dealing with the growing numbers of

[1:01] homeless, sanitation, and the threat of

[1:04] disease.

[1:06] 4 days after the earthquake, survivors

[1:08] are still being found, but the rescues

[1:10] are fewer and fewer,

[1:13] and the level of frustration is growing.

[1:16] Sweltering heat and no water may be

[1:18] dooming the tens of thousands of people

[1:20] still believe trapped.

[1:24] Hundreds of thousands of people are

[1:26] homeless and for the most part they are

[1:28] dependent on disorganized handouts of

[1:30] food and water. The government estimates

[1:32] that damages will reach tens of billions

[1:35] of dollars. The police have begun

[1:37] arresting some of the contractors whose

[1:39] shoddy buildings have collapsed.

[1:44] There is a growing threat of disease

[1:45] such things as dysentery, diarrhea, and

[1:48] typhoid. Disinfectant sprays offer

[1:51] little protection against the dangers

[1:53] posed by thousands of dead bodies piling

[1:56] up, crushed sewer lines, and a lack of

[1:58] running water in many areas.

[2:02] Help continues to pour in from around

[2:04] the world, but there is little

[2:06] coordination of relief efforts.

[2:08] American, Egyptian, and Israeli teams

[2:11] have set up makeshift hospitals along

[2:14] with desperately needed, but desperately

[2:16] scarce portable toilets. Some small

[2:19] towns have received no outside help at

[2:22] all.

[2:23] >> About a hundred American engineers are

[2:26] expected to go to Turkey this weekend to

[2:28] study how different kinds of

[2:30] construction fared in the quake. They

[2:31] could bring back recommendations for new

[2:33] building codes in earthquakerprone areas

[2:36] of the United States. Among the

[2:38] survivors in Turkey, the horror of the

[2:40] past four days is giving way now to

[2:43] increased fears about the future. CBS

[2:45] News correspondent Alan Pizzy reports

[2:47] from Ismet.

[2:51] >> Just as hope of finding anyone else

[2:52] alive was fading, another miracle. A

[2:55] three-year-old girl plucked from a

[2:57] concrete tomb by Hungarian rescue

[2:59] workers.

[3:01] >> In spite of being buried for more than 3

[3:03] days, by the time she got to the

[3:04] hospital, she was in good enough shape

[3:06] to talk to reporters.

[3:11] >> Almost everywhere you look, however, the

[3:13] scene is bitter. The UN estimates as

[3:16] many as 35,000 bodies are still trapped

[3:18] in the rubble. A few will be accorded a

[3:20] measure of dignity, but the time for

[3:22] that is fading fast. Human effort is now

[3:26] giving way to brute force. Mountains of

[3:28] smashed concrete must be moved.

[3:31] Miles of reinforcing steel cut. Rescue

[3:34] workers are exhausted, but not yet ready

[3:37] to quit. The Fairfax, Virginia firemen

[3:40] fanned out today on what they call recon

[3:42] missions, checking reports of possible

[3:44] survivors.

[3:46] Two,

[3:47] >> but they were skeptical about this one.

[3:49] >> Okay, ask him when the last time he

[3:51] heard from them.

[3:53] >> To dig or not to dig is the difficult

[3:55] call of search coordinator Chuck Mills.

[3:57] >> You got to look at it and say, "Where

[3:58] are all the opportunities that the

[3:59] victim may have survived based on how

[4:02] that building collapsed and the

[4:04] condition of the rubble after it

[4:06] collapsed?" This time the decision was

[4:08] to dig a little more just in case.

[4:12] But the focus is turning sharply to the

[4:14] needs of the tens of thousands who have

[4:15] lost everything

[4:18] and have little prospect of recouping

[4:20] anything. Few, if any, have insurance.

[4:25] Government assistance is minimal at

[4:27] best. Administration of even the most

[4:29] basic aid remains chaotic.

[4:32] Apart from their own will to persevere,

[4:34] the survivors main hope is foreign

[4:36] assistance. Just today, the US aid

[4:39] agency brought in plastic sheeting,

[4:40] blankets, and medical supplies. Enough

[4:42] for 10,000 people. Other countries are

[4:45] also kicking in, but it isn't going to

[4:47] be nearly enough. The strain of coping

[4:50] with living in the street has frayed

[4:52] nerves to breaking point.

[4:56] This fight was sparked by an argument

[4:57] over where garbage was being dumped. The

[5:00] fight ended quickly, perhaps because

[5:02] everywhere they look, they're poignant

[5:04] reminders of how petty such problems

[5:06] really are. Alan Pizzy, CBS News,

[5:08] Ismmit.

[5:10] Even after earthquake survivors physical

[5:13] wounds are healed, they must still deal

[5:15] with the enduring emotional trauma of

[5:17] the ordeal. We're going to have more

[5:19] about that a little later in the

[5:20] broadcast tonight. Meanwhile, there were

[5:23] no injuries in an earthquake that shook

[5:25] much of Costa Rica along with parts of

[5:27] Panama and Nicaragua early this morning.

[5:29] The quake was a magnitude 6.7. Since

[5:33] Costa Rica is prone to earthquakes, most

[5:35] buildings there are limited to three

[5:37] stories to guard against casualties. And

[5:40] on the CBS weather watch, forecasters

[5:42] say that tropical storm Brett off the

[5:44] coast of Mexico is likely to become the

[5:47] first full-fledged hurricane of the

[5:49] season overnight. Hurricane watches and

[5:51] tropical storm warnings are up. The

[5:53] Texas coastal residents are advised to

[5:56] monitor the storm. And waiting in the

[5:58] wings is tropical storm Cindy, which is

[6:00] gaining strength in the far eastern

[6:02] Atlantic after passing by the Cape

[6:04] Verdie Islands. One of the nightmare

[6:07] scenarios feared most by federal disease

[6:10] control experts may be coming true. A

[6:13] super strong bacterial infection that

[6:15] usually exists only in hospitals may now

[6:18] be on the loose outside. It has killed

[6:21] four children and infected 200 other

[6:23] people. We have a report tonight from

[6:25] Elizabeth Kaledan.

[6:28] It's one of the most widespread germs we

[6:30] live with. Stafylocus or staff. Hospital

[6:34] patients often become infected with it

[6:36] but it's generally treated with

[6:37] antibiotics. Now, public health

[6:40] officials in the Midwest are facing an

[6:42] emerging problem with staff. A

[6:44] drugresistance strain has officially

[6:46] left the hospital and is infecting

[6:48] people in the general community.

[6:50] >> We want to emphasize that for parents,

[6:52] there's really no cause for panic.

[6:54] >> According to a report today from the

[6:56] Centers for Disease Control, in the past

[6:58] 3 years, more than 200 people in

[7:00] Minnesota and North Dakota have become

[7:02] sick from staff infections. Four

[7:04] children have died. A 7-year-old black

[7:07] girl and a 13-year-old white girl from

[7:09] Minnesota and a 16-month-old Native

[7:11] American girl and a 12-month-old white

[7:14] boy from North Dakota. The children were

[7:16] nowhere near any hospitals and had no

[7:19] contact with anyone who was. We're very

[7:22] concerned about these cases, but we also

[7:24] know that this is rare. Still, the

[7:26] report is a concern to infectious

[7:28] disease specialists who say it's another

[7:31] sign of how often antibiotics fail and

[7:33] how quickly the bacteria are evolving to

[7:36] resist them.

[7:37] >> Why it's changing, we don't know except

[7:39] that we can say that over the years this

[7:42] organism has successfully adapted to the

[7:45] measures that we've taken to try to

[7:46] control it.

[7:47] >> When penicellin was developed in the

[7:49] 1940s, it wiped out the majority of

[7:52] staff infections. Now, the antibiotic is

[7:55] almost never used to treat staff because

[7:57] it no longer works.

[7:59] >> One would assume that these changes are

[8:01] in response to our widespread use of

[8:03] antibiotics and perhaps our overuse of

[8:06] antibiotics.

[8:08] >> There still are a few antibiotics that

[8:10] will wipe out even drugresistant strains

[8:12] of staff. One called vankcomy may have

[8:15] helped the four infected children if

[8:17] used in time. But even that drug is

[8:20] losing its power, doctors say, and it's

[8:22] just a matter of time until it doesn't

[8:24] work at all. Bob,

[8:25] >> thank you, Elizabeth. Still ahead on

[8:27] tonight's CBS Evening News, a dire

[8:29] prediction for the arrival of Y2K has

[8:32] been shortcircuited. Why so many

[8:34] Japanese children in need of homes are

[8:36] not likely to get them. And the story of

[8:39] how real teamwork beat the odds.

[8:43] >> Okay,

[8:45] >> this old mop makes me shake. That old

[8:47] vacuum makes me ache. This old red drags

[8:50] me down. This box rocks the radical new

[8:53] Swiffer Sweeper. So simple to assemble

[8:55] >> and it's built to last.

[8:57] >> Swiffer now. Sweeping and gliding.

[9:00] >> Here comes Swiffer Sweeper.

[9:02] >> Swiffer cloths use electrostatic action

[9:04] and lift and lock pockets to attract and

[9:06] trap hair, crumbs, and common allergens.

[9:08] Don't suffer. Swiffer.

[9:11] >> Well, I'll be a Swiffer. Sweeper.

[9:12] Attracting little trap weapon and a

[9:15] swap.

[9:16] >> Here comes Swiffer Sweeper.

[9:18] >> Just toss the cloth and all that dirt

[9:20] goes with it.

[9:22] >> Here comes Sweeper. When Swiffer's the

[9:25] one, consider it done in the household

[9:28] cleaner.

[9:31] >> Got dirty sweat stains? Spray and Wash

[9:33] Advanced Stain Care penetrates faster

[9:35] than Shout and powers out those dirty

[9:38] sweat stains.

[9:40] See? So go ahead and

[9:42] >> let them go with spray and wash.

[9:45] >> Have you tried these yet? Specialized

[9:47] blends from one a day. Not just herbs.

[9:50] Herbs, vitamins, and minerals for things

[9:52] like memory. Have you seen my keys?

[9:56] Where are the keys?

[9:58] 83. And energy. Excuse me. Excuse me.

[10:04] Even tension and mood.

[10:08] Help your body help itself with one a

[10:10] day specialized blends. They're just

[10:13] what you need to feel your best.

[10:16] >> A big Y2K problem has suddenly surfaced

[10:19] around the nation, and a lot of cities

[10:21] are not at all pleased. It isn't the

[10:22] Millennium Bug, but an official report

[10:25] naming cities that are supposedly ripe

[10:27] for Y2K disasters. Diana Ol has our

[10:31] report.

[10:33] Fantasy is usually welcome at Florida's

[10:35] theme parks, but when the US Navy

[10:37] recently posted a study on its website

[10:40] claiming the lights could go out in

[10:41] Disney World when the clock strikes the

[10:43] year 2000, Orlando city officials

[10:46] weren't amused.

[10:47] >> We've taken great strides really in

[10:50] making progress towards this Y2K

[10:52] readiness.

[10:53] >> The city claims its utilities are Y2K

[10:55] compliant. That is, it has fixed any

[10:57] computer programs that might not

[10:59] recognize the year 2000 and therefore

[11:02] malfunction. They even launched an ad

[11:04] campaign saying as much.

[11:06] >> Are you ready for the year 2000? O is in

[11:10] about a thousand different ways.

[11:12] >> And when Orlando officials got this

[11:14] letter from the Navy asking if the city

[11:16] will be Y2K compliant, their reply was a

[11:19] resounding yes.

[11:21] >> Oh, believe me, we're ready. Still,

[11:23] Orlando and all these other cities wound

[11:25] up in a Navy study, citing possible Y2K

[11:28] trouble with water and power services. A

[11:31] surprise to many city officials like

[11:33] Ramone Migz in Dallas.

[11:35] >> We wouldn't miss a beat.

[11:37] Not city of Dallas. We wouldn't miss a

[11:39] beat.

[11:39] >> Even the Navy researcher who conducted

[11:41] the study told CBS News almost all the

[11:44] cities he contacted said they were

[11:46] compliant. But the study ended up on the

[11:48] Navy's website where it was picked up by

[11:50] a Y2K activist and before long hit

[11:53] newspapers and radio stations

[11:55] nationwide.

[11:56] >> Someone has looked at a very old uh

[11:59] edition of this database and they've

[12:01] extrapolated from it uh dramatically

[12:04] because that isn't what it said. That

[12:06] isn't what it means. And oh, by the way,

[12:07] that isn't where it is now.

[12:09] >> The Navy removed the study from its

[12:10] website just two weeks ago for fear the

[12:13] data might be misinterpreted. The Navy

[12:16] now says it agrees with a recent report

[12:18] from the White House Committee on Y2K,

[12:20] which said any national electrical

[12:22] failures are highly unlikely.

[12:24] Apparently, it was just human error that

[12:26] caused this latest scare. Diana Ol, CBS

[12:30] News, Washington.

[12:31] >> The California State Assembly has

[12:33] approved a bill to restrict the

[12:35] manufacture and sale of cheap

[12:37] accidentprone handguns, the ones known

[12:39] as Saturday Night Specials. The law

[12:41] would require that all handguns pass

[12:43] firing and drop safety tests. Final

[12:46] approval is still required by the

[12:48] California Senate. Near Philadelphia

[12:50] today, the police captured an escape

[12:52] quadruple murderer who spent 18 days on

[12:55] the run. Norman Johnson was found hiding

[12:58] in some bushes far from the Western

[13:00] Pennsylvania prison he escaped from. He

[13:03] was convicted in 1980 of killing four

[13:05] teenagers to cover up a family burglary

[13:08] ring. Next on the CBS Evening News, meet

[13:11] some Californians who know what it's

[13:12] like to be buried alive in an

[13:15] earthquake.

[13:26] >> Hi, I have a question about buying

[13:28] stock. What's the difference between a

[13:30] market order and a limit order?

[13:37] Hello.

[13:43] Excuse me. When you have an investment

[13:45] question, does your online brokerage

[13:47] have anybody there to answer it?

[13:50] >> We do.

[13:53] >> We're picking up our CEO. We swerved off

[13:56] the road and boom, the airbags go off.

[13:58] >> There was a deer.

[13:59] >> I never saw him. Seconds later, an

[14:02] OnStar advisor calls and says, "I just

[14:04] got a signal. Your airbags went off.

[14:06] Should I send an ambulance?"

[14:07] >> We were fine, but she called for a tow

[14:09] truck and a limo.

[14:10] >> Good thing I called OnStar.

[14:11] >> OnStar called us.

[14:12] >> Oh, right.

[14:14] >> OnStar.

[14:15] >> During the OnStar summer of savings, get

[14:16] the OnStar phone base system and

[14:18] installation at no extra charge when you

[14:20] prepay for a year of service. Call 1800

[14:22] OnStar 7.

[14:24] >> We're going to change your mind about

[14:25] coloring your gray with the natural look

[14:28] of Just for Men. You look so natural. No

[14:31] one can tell with Just for Men. No one

[14:35] can tell with Just for Men.

[14:37] >> Just for Men penetrates hair deep inside

[14:40] where natural color begins. Simply apply

[14:43] and in 5 minutes rinse. Gray is gone.

[14:46] Matched up to the rest of your hair.

[14:48] >> You look so natural.

[14:51] Just for

[15:08] My business runs on long hours and a

[15:11] leave. I can't settle for those pain

[15:13] relievers that quit too soon. Just two a

[15:15] leave are strong enough to work all day.

[15:17] I used to need a Tylenol to do that.

[15:19] There's a tool for every job. For tough

[15:21] pain, it's a leave.

[15:25] Well, it's a very exclusive club that

[15:26] most people would rather not join.

[15:28] People who know how victims trapped and

[15:30] rescued from the wreckage of the Turkey

[15:32] earthquake are likely to feel for years

[15:35] to come. These people know because

[15:37] they've been through it in California.

[15:39] Sandra Hughes has our report.

[15:43] >> As survivors continue to be pulled from

[15:45] the rubble in Turkey, their pain is felt

[15:48] a world away. There's no words to

[15:51] describe your feelings

[15:54] or my compassion for those people.

[15:57] >> But Jerry Preioso has more than

[15:59] compassion for the victims of the

[16:01] Turkish quake. He has some advice.

[16:03] >> You got to have faith.

[16:05] >> That's what he credits with getting him

[16:07] through the 1994 Northridge, California

[16:10] earthquake. He was rescued after being

[16:12] buried alive for 6 hours underneath the

[16:14] Meadows apartment building where 16

[16:17] people died. When they came in, all they

[16:19] could see is my knees down. And when

[16:22] they lifted up, they started to pull.

[16:25] And I told them to stop because of the

[16:27] nails. And they had a cut.

[16:33] >> Ouch.

[16:36] >> I'm sorry.

[16:37] >> The memories are vivid and painful.

[16:39] >> Some individuals will recover within a

[16:42] few weeks. Some Some may recover in

[16:44] months. Some it may take years and some

[16:46] may never recover. For some individuals,

[16:48] this may be a pivotal event in their

[16:50] life that will change their life from

[16:52] then on.

[16:53] >> One of Preioso's strongest memories is

[16:55] of the firefighter who rescued him.

[16:57] >> There were two floors of building that

[16:59] were that were pinned across his his

[17:01] midsection and cutting making it

[17:03] difficult to breathe.

[17:04] >> On the fifth anniversary of the quake,

[17:06] Mike Henry was presented with a hero's

[17:08] award and Jerry was there.

[17:11] >> A firefighter by the name of Mike Henry

[17:14] did not care that he was risking his

[17:16] life. He went in there and he saved

[17:19] Jerry.

[17:20] >> Oh yes. Every day is a gift.

[17:22] >> A gift that Jerry Preioso says he never

[17:26] takes for granted.

[17:27] >> Go baby, go.

[17:29] >> After surviving on faith and a little

[17:31] luck, he does what he likes best,

[17:33] betting on the odds. And not

[17:35] surprisingly, he usually wins. Look at

[17:38] that.

[17:38] >> Sandra Hughes, CBS News, Los Angeles.

[17:42] The fastest bird on Earth, the Paraguin

[17:45] Falcon, was officially taken off the

[17:47] endangered species list today.

[17:49] Pesticides, especially DDT, brought the

[17:52] paragan falcon to near extinction in the

[17:54] United States in the 1970s.

[17:57] And we have some more animals in the

[17:58] news. In China, a 15-year-old giant

[18:01] pandas become the first in history to

[18:03] give birth to triplets in captivity. The

[18:06] tiny panda babies weigh less than 5 oz

[18:09] each. Still ahead on tonight's CBS

[18:11] Evening News, someone wants to adopt

[18:13] these abandoned children. So why are

[18:16] they still being forced to grow up

[18:17] without parents?

[18:31] If it's real chicken your dog wants,

[18:37] it's prime you want

[18:43] because highquality chicken is the

[18:45] primary ingredient in pedigree prime.

[18:49] Dry dog food has finally reached its

[18:51] prime.

[19:48] to shine for life. Delta the faucet.

[19:53] >> One day he'll be able to say I love you.

[19:58] One day he won't need to hold your hand.

[20:02] One day you won't be his best girl.

[20:06] And before you know it, he'll be off to

[20:08] college. I mean, look at him with that

[20:11] little pencil. Can't you get him a

[20:13] computer, a printer, or something? He's

[20:15] such a cute kid. Thank you.

[20:18] >> Get everything for back to school. Come

[20:20] into Office Depot. Low prices every day.

[20:25] >> A revealing document has just come to

[20:27] light. A 1964 message to President

[20:30] Johnson from Fidel Castro which was

[20:32] relayed by an American journalist. In

[20:35] the document, Castro offers to help

[20:37] Johnson win the November election, says

[20:40] Castro. If the president feels it

[20:42] necessary to make Bellico statements

[20:44] about Cuba or even to take hostile

[20:46] action, I shall understand and not take

[20:49] any serious retaliatory action. Castro

[20:52] said he wanted Johnson to win because

[20:54] he'd seen quote how Republicans use Cuba

[20:58] as a weapon against Democrats.

[21:00] In Japan, another strange story. A

[21:03] cultural barrier is standing in the way

[21:05] of happiness for thousands of children.

[21:08] CBS News Tokyo correspondent Barry

[21:10] Peterson has our report.

[21:14] 8-year-old Mayu longs to be someone's

[21:16] daughter. Abandoned by her mother, she

[21:18] is the darling of a foster family who

[21:20] visit often, take her to their home, and

[21:23] want to adopt her as their own.

[21:26] >> We make dolls when we're together, she

[21:29] says.

[21:30] But this is Japan. Her grandmother never

[21:33] visits, but will not approve the

[21:35] adoption. Somayu will likely live at

[21:37] this children's home until she's 18.

[21:41] >> In Japan, explains children's home

[21:43] director Minuru Kata. People feel it is

[21:46] shameful to ask someone else to look

[21:48] after your children.

[21:51] >> So, children end up in state funded

[21:53] homes because people are more concerned

[21:55] about a loss of face than a child losing

[21:58] the chance for a normal life.

[22:00] Thousands of Japanese children are

[22:02] caught in this catch 22 with relatives

[22:04] who don't want them but won't let

[22:06] strangers adopt them. So while in the

[22:08] United States the number of adoptions

[22:10] each year is more than 60,000 here in

[22:12] Japan it's more like 600.

[22:17] >> Consider the case of Hiroshi and Yoshiko

[22:20] Watanab and the two foster children they

[22:22] would love to adopt. We wanted to

[22:25] experience as

[22:28] father and mother.

[22:30] >> Their natural father doesn't want them.

[22:31] But he won't allow adoption because he

[22:34] says he doesn't have the courage to

[22:35] admit to society that he can't take care

[22:38] of his own children. And the Watanabis

[22:40] feel they can't tell many of their

[22:42] friends their true intentions that

[22:44] they're thinking of adoption.

[22:47] >> In America, says Yoshiko, if you adopt,

[22:50] the people around you try and help. In

[22:53] Japan, neighbors give you a strange

[22:55] look. We hesitate to tell people we're

[22:57] trying to adopt these children.

[23:01] The Watanabi children are luckier than

[23:03] most.

[23:05] They at least are living with their

[23:07] foster parents.

[23:09] But children's home director Minora Kata

[23:11] sees no quick end to Japan's prejudice

[23:14] against adoption. He gives children

[23:16] everything he can, but even he can't

[23:18] give them the one thing adoption could,

[23:21] a parents love.

[23:27] >> And coming up next, second chances for a

[23:29] city and some very special people who

[23:32] call it home.

[24:09] It's barbecue season, the busiest time

[24:12] of the year for your deck, which is why

[24:14] you should protect it with Thompson's

[24:15] wood protector. Nothing we make works

[24:17] harder, longer for rain, sun, mildew, or

[24:20] low-flying meat. Thompson's Wood

[24:22] Protector, it never takes a day off.

[24:26] >> Opening arguments start at 9:30 whether

[24:28] this arthritis pain goes away or not.

[24:30] So, I took Advil Liquid Gels. Nothing's

[24:32] been proven stronger on arthritis pain.

[24:34] They're the only pain reliever with

[24:35] liquid inside. Advil liquid gels,

[24:38] stronger than pain.

[24:42] Every kid knows if you want to make the

[24:44] big leagues, you better eat your wedies.

[24:47] And every dad should know whole grain

[24:50] wedies may help prevent cancer. Numerous

[24:52] studies confirm a low-fat diet rich in

[24:55] whole grain foods like Wheaties may

[24:56] reduce the risk of certain cancers.

[25:00] So when he does make the big leagues,

[25:03] you'll be in the front row. 100% whole

[25:06] grain wedies, a champion in the fight

[25:08] against cancer.

[25:10] When it comes to your health, never

[25:12] compromise. Even when choosing a

[25:13] laxative, you need one that's strong

[25:15] enough to work overnight, but also

[25:17] gentle. Try doctor recommended Dulax.

[25:19] It's both strong and gentle. It even has

[25:22] a special comfort coating to protect

[25:24] your stomach. In fact, doctors recommend

[25:26] Dulax most, more than correct and senot

[25:29] combined. Don't compromise. Get strong.

[25:32] Get gentle. Get doctor recommended

[25:34] Dulax. And for strong and gentle relief

[25:36] in minutes, get Dolax suppositories.

[25:40] you believe us if we told you police

[25:42] sell thousands of guns and assault

[25:43] weapons to gun dealers? Believe it. Eye

[25:48] News with Dan Rather.

[25:51] Pro football officially returns to

[25:53] Cleveland tomorrow with the debut there

[25:55] of a brand new expansion team with a

[25:58] very familiar name. The team includes at

[26:00] least one player who knows a lot about

[26:02] winning against a powerful opponent. Bob

[26:05] McNamera has his story.

[26:08] Two, three.

[26:10] >> They have opened a new stadium,

[26:14] painted the field,

[26:17] paraded through downtown,

[26:20] >> practiced twice a day, and now like the

[26:23] days when Dante Lavelli starred here,

[26:25] pro football has come back to Cleveland.

[26:28] >> Well, it's a rejuvenation for me. I

[26:30] mean, it's a second birth.

[26:31] >> For some in this town, 3 years without a

[26:34] pro football team seemed a lifetime. But

[26:36] for a player whose life work is the

[26:38] game, his own return after almost 2

[26:40] years away from football is a story and

[26:43] courage that goes even beyond his own

[26:45] comeback.

[26:46] >> You're fighting life and death, man.

[26:48] >> The comeback that Browns linebacker

[26:49] Chris Spielman talks of is not his own,

[26:52] but his wife's. And when Stephanie

[26:54] Spielman underwent breast cancer surgery

[26:56] just over a year ago, her husband took

[26:59] last season off to care for her and

[27:01] their two children.

[27:02] >> I couldn't have done it without him. It

[27:04] was the best decision he ever could have

[27:06] made for me and our family.

[27:08] >> For Spielman, even a career-threatening

[27:10] neck injury was nothing compared to his

[27:12] wife's cancer crisis.

[27:15] >> So, we chose to fight, man. You have two

[27:17] choices. You either fight or fold. And

[27:20] uh in my house, we're fighting.

[27:22] >> When chemotherapy caused Stephanie's

[27:25] hair to disappear, Spielman shaved his

[27:27] head and started a cancer fund. and

[27:30] we've raised almost $500,000 to that

[27:33] fund now. And and that's going to be a

[27:35] lifetime goal for us is to raise money

[27:37] for research. Spielman is relieved.

[27:39] Doctors say his wife is cancer-free. But

[27:42] he knows his game and life have no

[27:45] guarantees.

[27:45] >> God gave me another chance to play

[27:47] football and he gave my wife uh life and

[27:52] we don't take anything for granted. We

[27:54] just live each day. For decades, in

[27:56] grainy old photos, Cleveland has tracked

[27:58] its football history and its legends.

[28:01] And while Chris Spielman could someday

[28:02] be added to the list of heroes here, he

[28:05] already is where it matters most. Bob

[28:08] McNamera, CBS News, Cleveland.

[28:12] >> And that's the news Sunday on Face the
