[0:00] Easy as shampooing for a natural look

[0:03] that is real.

[0:06] >> Real to the eye,

[0:08] >> real to the touch.

[0:11] >> Real where it counts.

[0:14] >> New True Color Just for Men.

[0:17] >> 180 sounds like a healthy cholesterol

[0:19] number unless it's crept up since last

[0:20] time. So eat right, exercise, and try

[0:30] One a day. Count on it.

[0:33] thinking. You're thinking benefitful.

[0:35] And there wholesome grains, real beef,

[0:37] even carrots and peas. You love it so

[0:40] much you only think you're getting

[0:41] spoiled.

[0:42] >> So happy.

[0:43] >> Healthful. Flavorful. Benniful. Benniful

[0:46] brand by Pyina.

[0:48] >> The western states are broiling again

[0:50] today at a relentless heat wave.

[0:51] Tripledigit temperatures are forecast

[0:53] again and they could break record highs

[0:55] set only yesterday. Usually comfortable

[0:58] San Diego is more than 20 degrees warmer

[1:00] than normal. In the meantime, St. Louis

[1:03] is coming back block by block from the

[1:05] worst blackout the city has ever had.

[1:07] Kelly Kobier is in the Gateway City now

[1:09] with the latest. Kelly, good evening.

[1:11] >> Good evening, Russ. About 25% of the

[1:14] metropolitan area here in St. Louis is

[1:16] still without power tonight. And instead

[1:18] of the standard, hi, how you doing? The

[1:20] new greeting here is, "Hi, how's your

[1:23] power?"

[1:26] >> utility workers in this city by the

[1:28] river can't move fast enough trying to

[1:30] fix the lines and calm customers.

[1:33] >> You don't have power on yet.

[1:34] >> I'm working 18 hours a day and then, you

[1:37] know, coming back and forth and my

[1:39] power's out. So, I understand. I feel I

[1:41] understand.

[1:43] >> Y'all got to do something about this.

[1:44] This is bad.

[1:45] >> It is the worst power failure in this

[1:47] city's history.

[1:49] A one-two weather punch last weekend

[1:51] knocked out power to half a million

[1:53] customers during a heat wave. And for

[1:55] the hundreds of thousands waiting for

[1:56] repairs, food has gone bad and

[1:59] frustration is rising.

[2:00] >> You can't find no ice. You can't find

[2:03] water hardly. You know, everything is

[2:05] hard to find.

[2:06] >> Relief agencies are trying to fill the

[2:08] need, handing out water and some 90,000

[2:11] meals. There is some progress. Nursing

[2:14] homes and hospitals are back online. We

[2:17] got light

[2:17] >> and the lights are on again in some

[2:19] neighborhoods.

[2:20] >> You're welcome. That's what we're here

[2:21] for, man.

[2:21] >> But even those who were celebrating were

[2:23] also wondering why it took so long for

[2:26] help to reach them.

[2:27] >> We read in the paper they're going door

[2:28] to door. I'm like, nobody knocking on

[2:31] our door for 4 days.

[2:34] >> Emergency workers say their focus those

[2:36] first few days was really on the elderly

[2:38] and those with medical needs. But as for

[2:40] the power company, they were simply

[2:42] overwhelmed. They now have some 3,600

[2:44] workers from nine states to help them

[2:47] get the job done. Russ,

[2:48] >> so Kelly, things are slowly getting back

[2:49] to normal, but it is the Midwest. It is

[2:51] July. Are weather forecasters predicting

[2:53] any other storms in the next few days?

[2:56] >> No storms. The temperatures are supposed

[2:58] to creep up a little bit, but nothing

[3:00] like they saw last week.

[3:02] >> Okay, good news, Kelly Kobier in St.

[3:03] Louis. Thank you very much. Researchers

[3:05] said today that the cancer drug may also

[3:08] cause serious heart damage. Levac

[3:10] targets a chronic type of leukemia and a

[3:12] rare gastrointestinal cancer, but the

[3:14] researchers said patients should not

[3:16] stop taking the drug. Just ahead on

[3:18] tonight's CBS Evening News, an American

[3:20] general says Iraq now has a bigger

[3:22] challenge than fighting insurgents.

[4:43] >> Now the Hall of Fame eye drop. New Clear

[4:46] Eyes. Triple Action Relief. It gets

[4:48] redness, dryness, irritation out. A

[4:51] triple play. Wow. New tripleaction

[4:55] relief. Three-way relief from Clear

[4:57] Eyes.

[4:58] >> Cholesterol. It can come from fetuccini

[5:01] alfredo, but also from your grandpa

[5:04] Alfredo, from barbecue ribs, and from

[5:07] your aunt Barbie. A healthy diet is

[5:10] important. When that's not enough,

[5:12] adding Vtorin can help. Cholesterol

[5:14] comes from two sources: food and family.

[5:17] Vtorin treats two sources. Only Vytorin

[5:20] helps block the absorption of

[5:21] cholesterol from food and reduces the

[5:23] cholesterol your body makes naturally

[5:25] based on family history. Btorine was

[5:27] also proven in clinical studies to lower

[5:29] bad cholesterol more than Lipur alone.

[5:32] Btorin is not for everyone, including

[5:34] people with liver problems, women who

[5:35] are nursing, pregnant, or may become

[5:37] pregnant. Unexplained muscle pain or

[5:38] weakness could be a sign of a rare but

[5:40] serious side effect. Btorin may interact

[5:42] with other medicines or certain foods,

[5:44] increasing your risk of getting this

[5:45] serious side effect. Simple blood tests

[5:47] are needed to check for liver problems.

[5:49] So, eat right, stay active, but if

[5:51] that's not enough, ask your doctor about

[5:53] adding Vtorin, two sources of

[5:55] cholesterol. Treat them both with

[5:57] Vtorin.

[5:58] >> He's a master thief.

[6:00] >> I am the best.

[6:01] >> Who stole millions from homes like this

[6:03] with the owners inside. How? Find out

[6:06] tonight on 60 Minutes.

[6:08] >> This week, divorce. It can hit like a

[6:10] ton of bricks, then make you mad.

[6:12] Finally, the weight is lifted. But what

[6:13] to do now? How to recover from happily

[6:16] hitched to suddenly single on the Early

[6:18] Show.

[6:20] In Iraq, Saddam Hussein was hospitalized

[6:22] today after a 17-day hunger strike to

[6:24] demand better security for his lawyers.

[6:26] He is now being fed with a tube. In the

[6:28] meantime, another US soldier was killed

[6:30] in action as the daily deadly bombings

[6:32] continued unabated as we hear from Rex

[6:35] Stman.

[6:37] >> Iraqis keep killing Iraqis and nothing

[6:40] seems able to stop it. In Kirkook, a car

[6:43] bomb killed 20 people and injured 150

[6:46] others. In a crowded Baghdad market, a

[6:49] suicide bomber detonated a minivan. 34

[6:52] people were killed, scores more wounded.

[6:55] Almost 60,000 Iraqi and American

[6:58] soldiers began patrolling Baghdad

[7:00] streets last month. But since then, the

[7:02] number of attacks and killings has

[7:05] actually gone up. Lieutenant General

[7:07] Peter Carelli is America's second in

[7:09] command in Iraq. And he says protecting

[7:12] Baghdad civilians is now a worse problem

[7:15] than fighting insurgents. We've got to

[7:17] find a way um to provide more security

[7:19] to more people in Baghdad than than we

[7:21] currently are.

[7:23] >> And what is the solution then? More

[7:25] troops.

[7:26] >> I think right now we've got to get uh

[7:27] additional patrols on the street.

[7:29] >> With 6,000 Iraqis killed in just the

[7:32] last two months. Iraqi Prime Minister

[7:34] Maliki heads to Washington this week.

[7:37] President Bush is expected to announce

[7:39] even more US troops already in Iraq will

[7:42] be repositioned to Baghdad to try to

[7:45] stop the bloodletting. But redeploying

[7:47] those US soldiers to Baghdad may come at

[7:49] a political cost to the White House. It

[7:52] probably means the first US troops won't

[7:55] be coming home for good after all by the

[7:57] end of this year. And yet more troops

[8:00] alone won't solve this crisis.

[8:02] Overnight, US soldiers raided a Baghdad

[8:05] home of suspected terrorists. In the

[8:07] same neighborhood just hours later was

[8:10] today's deadly market attack.

[8:12] >> We have to offer economic opportunity.

[8:14] We've got to give the people something

[8:16] else to do than to to join militias um

[8:18] in order to support their families.

[8:20] >> While families frightened by the

[8:22] militias now let their children play

[8:24] outdoors, but only on the roof. Mark

[8:28] Straman, CBS News, Baghdad.

[8:32] We're going to change directions now and

[8:33] tell you about some doings in the world

[8:35] of sports. An American has won the tour

[8:37] to France for the eighth year in a row.

[8:39] Despite a bad hip, 30-year-old Floyd

[8:41] Landis cruised into Paris today to win

[8:43] the title that Lance Armstrong held for

[8:45] seven years. Landis plans to have hip

[8:47] replacement surgery come this fall. And

[8:50] an emotional Tiger Woods, whose father

[8:52] died two months ago, won the British

[8:54] Open today for the third time. It was

[8:56] also the defending champion's 11th major

[8:58] title as a professional.

[9:00] Up next on tonight's CBS Evening News,

[9:02] she has been called a star, but she's

[9:04] facing mighty hurdles ahead. You'll meet

[9:07] her next.

[9:11] With 3,800 students and a staff of 200,

[9:14] Carol is a formidable woman, but she was

[9:17] no match for something smaller than the

[9:19] point of a pencil. It knocked her out so

[9:21] fast she didn't know what hit her. It

[9:23] was a clot. Like Carol, if you've been

[9:25] hospitalized with heart-reated chest

[9:27] pain or a certain type of heart attack,

[9:28] what doctors call ACS, chances are

[9:31] you've had a clot. But now, Carol's

[9:33] doctor is helping increase Carol's

[9:34] protection against heart attack and

[9:36] stroke by putting her on Plavix. Plavix,

[9:38] in combination with aspirin and other

[9:40] heart medicines, helps provide greater

[9:42] protection against heart attack and

[9:43] stroke than aspirin and other heart

[9:45] medicines alone by helping keep blood

[9:47] platelets from sticking together and

[9:48] forming clots.

[9:49] >> If you have a stomach ulcer or other

[9:51] condition that causes bleeding, you

[9:52] shouldn't use Plavix. When taking Plavix

[9:54] alone or with some medicines, including

[9:56] aspirin, the risk of bleeding may

[9:57] increase. To minimize this risk, talk to

[9:59] your doctor before taking aspirin or

[10:01] other medicines with Plavix. Additional

[10:03] rare but serious side effects could

[10:04] occur.

[10:05] >> Ask your doctor about Plavix today

[10:07] because no matter how formidable you

[10:09] are, you're no match for a dangerous

[10:11] clot. Terracotta

[10:23] conditioning systems are sleek, quiet,

[10:25] and efficient.

[10:28] >> And they come in a choice of colors that

[10:30] are as distinctive as you are.

[10:32] >> Champagne

[10:33] >> because people like color.

[10:39] The new beautiful affinity series from

[10:41] York.

[10:43] >> No sweat.

[10:45] >> When you sweat, mosquitoes just can't

[10:49] resist you.

[10:53] >> But Off active is sweat resistant. It

[10:56] gives you proven off protection when you

[10:58] sweat. Protection against mosquitoes

[11:01] that may carry the West Nile virus.

[11:05] Sweat resistant offactive keeps bugs off

[11:35] triple play. Wow. New tripleaction

[11:38] relief. Three-way relief from Clear

[11:41] Eyes.

[11:44] >> When the Middle East erupted, CBS News

[11:47] was there.

[11:48] >> As we were walking out of the shelter

[11:49] just now, we heard a rocket explosion.

[11:52] >> When attack followed.

[11:53] >> Incoming Heisbella rockets just landed

[11:55] moments ago.

[11:56] >> The CBS News team took you into the hot

[11:58] zone. When you need to know, you need

[12:00] the CBS Evening News with Bob Sheeper.

[12:04] >> The first woman ever to lead a major

[12:06] Christian denomination will be

[12:07] inaugurated this fall as the presiding

[12:09] bishop of the Episcopal Church. But

[12:11] already many in her flock are

[12:13] threatening to quit over her election.

[12:15] Her climb to the top and what she plans

[12:17] to do are the focus of tonight's Sunday

[12:19] cover.

[12:20] If someone had told you uh 10 years ago,

[12:23] 12 years ago when you first became a

[12:26] priest that someday you would be the

[12:29] leader of your church,

[12:30] >> would you have believed them?

[12:31] >> I would have thought it highly unlikely.

[12:34] >> When Katherine Jeffrey Shy was chosen to

[12:36] lead the 2.3 million Episcopalians in

[12:39] the United States, she knew she would be

[12:41] flying into a storm of controversy. But

[12:44] this part-time pilot who flies a single

[12:47] engine Cessna to the outlying parishes

[12:49] of her Nevada dascese believes she'll be

[12:52] able to prevent a threatened huge split

[12:54] in her church. Bishop, what do you say

[12:56] to people who don't think that the

[12:58] presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church

[13:00] should condone homosexuality and samesex

[13:03] marriage? Well, my sense is that Jesus

[13:05] invited everybody to the table uh to the

[13:08] great feast and that for us to say that

[13:10] some people are not fit to come to that

[13:13] feast is not our task.

[13:15] >> It was the ordination of women as

[13:17] priests which first angered a number of

[13:19] dascese. They threatened to split from

[13:21] the main church when three years ago an

[13:24] openly gay priest was elected as bishop

[13:26] of New Hampshire. Since your election, a

[13:30] number of dascese have come out

[13:33] >> and have been critical.

[13:35] >> This one from a leader in Springfield,

[13:36] Illinois. He thinks the Episcopal Church

[13:38] is in meltdown.

[13:40] The lowest eb of our beloved and

[13:42] belleaguered church since perhaps the

[13:44] Civil War, if not the American

[13:45] Revolution. When you hear stuff like

[13:47] that, what goes through your head?

[13:50] >> It's predictable. Uh people who've been

[13:52] unhappy at the course of the church's

[13:54] direction over the last couple of

[13:56] decades. Uh this is another piece that

[13:59] may offend some. It it tells them that

[14:02] change is happening whether they are

[14:04] interested in in that change or not.

[14:06] >> The Episcopal Church is part of the

[14:08] worldwide Anglican community. But many

[14:10] Anglicans overseas feel Episcopalians in

[14:13] America have gone too far down the

[14:16] liberal road.

[14:17] >> Do you care what other Anglican churches

[14:19] think?

[14:19] >> Absolutely. Absolutely. And I think our

[14:22] most recent general convention was very

[14:24] clear about the fact that we are very

[14:26] concerned about our membership in the

[14:28] Anglican Communion and our relationships

[14:31] with other parts of the Anglican

[14:32] Communion.

[14:33] >> How much of this opposition do you think

[14:36] is coming from the fact that you're a

[14:38] woman?

[14:39] >> I think that's a significant piece of

[14:41] it. I I think a number of the changes in

[14:44] attitude in the church over the last

[14:46] century um have offended old ways of

[14:51] understanding who should be in charge.

[14:54] Is it a white male who will rule in the

[14:56] church? Um or is it not?

[14:59] >> You're a pilot.

[15:01] >> What is what is so special to you about

[15:03] being up on that airplane

[15:04] >> in the pilot seat? Ah there's a

[15:07] wonderful poem that was written uh in

[15:09] the second world war by a fellow named

[15:11] McGee that's called highflight and he he

[15:14] talks about the experience of being

[15:16] aloft as religious spiritual encounter

[15:20] and there is certainly an element of

[15:22] that uh it gives one a very different

[15:24] perspective on the world. It gives one a

[15:26] larger view.

[15:27] >> When we were waiting for you outside

[15:29] someone walked by and we told them what

[15:30] we were doing here and they said oh

[15:32] she's a star. Oh, help.

[15:35] >> How are you dealing with that part of

[15:37] this?

[15:38] >> I'm a human being. I am simply doing

[15:39] what I've been called to do.

[15:42] >> The applause must come as a welcome

[15:44] sound for Bishop Jephard Shiiori, but

[15:46] she acknowledges many battles lie ahead

[15:50] at the end of your term in 9 years. How

[15:52] will you measure your success? Well, I

[15:55] would hope to see a church that is less

[15:57] focused on internal division uh and far

[16:00] more focused on changing the world

[16:02] around us, transforming the communities

[16:04] in which we live.

[16:07] >> And that's the CBS Evening News. Later
