[0:00] You said it, six.
[0:02] Getting a rise out of a fall. After an
[0:04] embarrassing spill, Bob Dole plays up
[0:07] his quick recovery and his quick wit,
[0:09] saying he's not fragile, he's agile. The
[0:12] House votes to override President
[0:14] Clinton's veto of a ban on some
[0:16] late-term abortions, but the battle is
[0:18] far from over. The Pentagon admits for
[0:20] the first time that thousands of Gulf
[0:23] War GIs may indeed have been exposed to
[0:26] deadly chemical weapons. And a plot to
[0:29] kill a pop star sets off an
[0:31] international race to save her life.

[1:08] health or damage to his image. Phil
[1:11] Jones is covering Bob Dole after the
[1:13] fall.
[1:14] Asked how he felt the day after his
[1:16] nasty fall, Bob Dole said, "Great."
[1:19] Senator, are you sore today?
[1:21] Not really.
[1:22] No? No no sores? No aches? No pains?
[1:24] A little bit right there.
[1:26] The accident happened as Mr. Dole was
[1:28] campaigning in California from an
[1:30] elevated stage. The candidate leaned
[1:32] against a railing that had not been
[1:34] nailed down.
[1:35] Had it not been for a still photographer
[1:37] who caught Mr. Dole, the accident could
[1:39] have been disastrous.
