[0:02] a little bit busy these days trying to

[0:03] figure out where they're going. Also,

[0:05] what did Joel Seagull's instincts tell

[0:07] him about Michael Douglas's new movie?

[0:09] We'll have a review of Basic Instinct in

[0:10] the next half hour. Leading the news at

[0:12] this hour, presidential primary results

[0:14] in Illinois and Michigan. Morton Dean

[0:15] has that story and all the other news of

[0:17] his day. Good morning, Morton.

[0:18] >> Good morning, Mike. And good morning,

[0:19] everyone. All the winners in yesterday's

[0:21] political contest say the voters are

[0:23] calling for change. Democrat Bill

[0:25] Clinton won big in two Midwestern

[0:28] primaries. In Illinois, Clinton won 52%

[0:31] of the vote. Paul Sonis was second,

[0:32] Jerry Brown third. In Michigan, it was

[0:35] Clinton again, 49%. But Sonus and Brown

[0:38] switched places. Brown second, Sonis

[0:41] third. Clinton says he's the man with

[0:43] the message and the momentum. ABC's Mike

[0:45] Von Friend has more.

[0:49] >> The people of Illinois and Michigan sure

[0:52] know how to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

[0:57] Illinois and Michigan are Clinton's

[0:59] first big victories outside his southern

[1:01] base of support. He did it once again by

[1:04] winning the lion share of the black and

[1:06] the blue collar vote. With a head of

[1:08] steam, he now takes his campaign east.

[1:11] >> On to New York. On to victory in

[1:13] November. On to a new future for the

[1:15] American people. Thank you very much.

[1:17] >> While Clinton's surging campaign had the

[1:19] look of a national candidate on a roll

[1:22] last night, Paul Sonis' campaign looks

[1:24] in trouble. He says he will continue

[1:27] despite his poor showing in neutral

[1:29] territory and he accepted last night's

[1:31] defeat with class.

[1:32] >> Let me begin by congratulating Bill

[1:35] Clinton on his two victories tonight.

[1:37] The fact is he went into two large

[1:39] states and did well. And when someone

[1:42] does something well, you have to stand

[1:43] back and acknowledge it and give him

[1:45] credit.

[1:46] >> Jerry Brown claimed victory in his

[1:48] second place finish in Michigan. And he

[1:50] says he's changing the very nature of

[1:52] politics in America. No, this is not a

[1:55] good old boy operation. We're not here

[1:58] to get along and go along. We're here to

[2:01] confront a corrupt status quo that no

[2:04] longer serves the American people.

[2:07] >> Jerry Brown has taken his let's shake up

[2:09] the status quo campaign onto Madison,

[2:11] Wisconsin, a liberal part of a very

[2:13] liberal state that Brown seems to feel

[2:15] is his next best shot. Mort

[2:17] >> Mike, the votes in Illinois and Michigan

[2:19] really say a lot about Clinton's

[2:21] resilience and campaign organization,

[2:23] don't they?

[2:24] >> Yeah, he's proved that he's got the

[2:26] money, that he's got the organization.

[2:28] But more last night, his people were

[2:29] telling reporters that they're about to

[2:31] go into some pretty tough territory,

[2:32] trying to lower expectations a bit. They

[2:35] say that Connecticut is fertile ground

[2:36] for Paul Sonis with its upper suburban

[2:39] neighborhood. And they also say that in

[2:40] New York there's a notoriously tough

[2:43] press corps that may have at it with

[2:44] this good old southern candidate.

[2:47] >> Okay, thank you very much. Mike vonfrem

[2:49] reporting on the results in Illinois and

[2:51] Michigan yesterday. On the Republican

[2:53] side, President Bush says the voters

[2:54] have endorsed his approach to change in

[2:57] America. The president says he's

[2:59] virtually assured of the nomination. Now

[3:01] in Illinois, it was 76% for Bush, 22%

[3:04] for Buchanan. In Michigan, 67% voted for

[3:08] Bush, 25% for Buchanan. As for the

[3:11] delegate count, the president has 744

[3:14] delegates, more than half the number he

[3:16] needs to clinch the nomination. For the

[3:18] Democrats, Clinton has 950 delegates,

[3:21] just less than half of what he needs.

[3:23] It's twice as many delegates as Sus has.

[3:27] South Africa's future is in black and

[3:29] white this morning. The election day

[3:31] numbers have been added up. Whites

[3:33] turned out in record numbers yesterday

[3:34] and voted in favor of sharing power with

[3:37] the black majority. It was a vote of

[3:39] confidence in President FW D Clerk who

[3:41] had warned whites to say yes or face

[3:43] chaos. ABC's Mark Litkkey has more from

[3:46] Johannesburg. Even before the vote count

[3:49] was final, the trend was obvious. There

[3:51] had been an unprecedented turnout. More

[3:53] than 70% of eligible white voters went

[3:56] to the polls. And throughout this

[3:58] makeorb breakak referendum campaign that

[4:00] was said to be the key to victory for

[4:02] the yes vote. The earliest returns

[4:04] showed those favoring a continuation of

[4:06] the reform process were winning by a 3

[4:09] to1 margin. For most whites, this was

[4:12] probably not a vote of conscience, but a

[4:14] vote for survival. President Dclerk's

[4:16] government had apparently succeeded in

[4:18] convincing a majority that South Africa

[4:20] could not turn back the clock on

[4:22] reforms. To do so would enrage the black

[4:25] majority and lead to civil war. South

[4:27] Africa would be shunned by the rest of

[4:29] the world. Economic sanctions reimposed.

[4:33] This country still faces enormous

[4:35] economic, political, and social

[4:36] problems. Whites are still very afraid

[4:39] of the ongoing brutality and killings in

[4:42] the black townships.

[4:44] But now it appears that South Africa can

[4:46] move forward with negotiations between

[4:48] the white government and the black

[4:50] majority leading to a new constitution,

[4:52] an interim government, and eventually an

[4:55] election in which all South Africans can

[4:58] participate.

[4:59] >> Mark, how do you think the blacks in

[5:01] South Africa are going to respond?

[5:03] There's been an awful lot of black

[5:05] against black violence, some of it

[5:06] inspired by whites.

[5:09] Well, Mark, there's no question that the

[5:11] blacks will be relieved at the outcome.

[5:13] However, they were never very happy

[5:15] about this referendum in the first

[5:16] place. They had to stand by bitterly as

[5:19] once again a white minority decided

[5:21] their future. They've also been asking

[5:24] when do our lives get better. After 2

[5:26] years of reforms, uh the situation for

[5:28] many blacks has grown much worse. They

[5:31] still live in terribly impoverished

[5:32] townships. There are over 7 million now

[5:35] living in squatter camps around major v

[5:37] uh major cities looking for jobs. Uh the

[5:40] sense of despair is very deep and that

[5:42] has been another major factor in much of

[5:44] the black-on-black violence that we've

[5:46] been seeing.

[5:47] >> Mark Litkkey, we spoke with him in South

[5:49] Africa earlier this morning. Voices in

[5:52] the rubble and a scene of desperation.

[5:54] Rescue crews are trying to dig out

[5:56] people they hear under the rubble of the

[5:58] Israeli embassy in Buenosiris,

[6:00] Argentina. A bomb destroyed the building

[6:03] yesterday. At least seven people were

[6:05] killed, more than 100 others injured.

[6:07] Argentina is now asking the CIA and

[6:10] Mossad, the Israeli Secret Service, to

[6:12] find who did it. The House bank scandal

[6:16] has landed in the laps of three of the

[6:18] president's cabinet members, Defense

[6:19] Secretary Richard Cheney, Labor

[6:21] Secretary Lynn Martin, and Agriculture

[6:23] Secretary Edward Madigan, overdrew their

[6:26] bank accounts while they were serving in

[6:28] the House. President Bush said he's

[6:29] standing by all three. Yesterday, the

[6:32] White House said it's checking the

[6:33] records to see if the president ever

[6:35] overdrew his account when he was a

[6:37] congressman. These are not the checks

[6:39] and balances the founding fathers had in

[6:42] mind. And that's the news. Here are Mike

[6:43] and Sam.

[6:44] >> Okay, More. Thanks very much. It is now

[6:46] just about 7 minutes past the hour.

[6:48] Spencer's off today. Sam Champion from

[6:50] WABC TV here this morning to tell us

[6:52] about the weather. And the folks down

[6:53] south have some serious weather to

[6:54] contend with.

[6:55] >> Yeah, they're waking up to an awful lot

[6:56] of rumbles, some rough lightning this

[6:57] morning, too. and in some cases 60 mph

[6:59] winds. All that's going on Louisiana Ar

[7:01] >> turned out to be heartbreak states for

[7:02] Paul Sonis. In Illinois, Governor Bill

[7:04] Clinton beat former Senator Sonis by

[7:06] almost a 2 to1 margin. And in Michigan,

[7:08] Sanas finished a distant third behind

[7:10] former Governor Jerry Brown. Paul Sonis

[7:12] joins us this morning from Hartford,

[7:14] Connecticut. Good morning.

[7:15] >> Good morning.

[7:16] >> All right. Tough night. In your speech

[7:18] last night, you were very gracious about

[7:19] your defeat, but some say that you

[7:21] sounded maybe a little less like a

[7:22] candidate, more like a loyal Democrat

[7:24] ready to support your party's nominee.

[7:26] Would you say that Bill Clinton has

[7:28] wrapped up the nomination yet?

[7:29] >> Uh, no. We have a long way to go. I

[7:31] think Jerry Brown pointed that out. I

[7:33] simply um, you know, I've been in

[7:35] politics for a long time. When someone

[7:37] does well, particularly in two states

[7:40] like that, I think you have that

[7:41] obligation, but we're now here in

[7:43] Connecticut. Um, it's a state where I'm

[7:45] not a stranger. So, the the disadvantage

[7:47] of having fewer finances will be less

[7:49] pronounced. And we think we can do well

[7:51] here on Tuesday. Well, throughout this

[7:52] campaign campaign, you have been saying

[7:54] that you could beat Governor Clinton in

[7:56] the neutral states. States that were not

[7:58] home turf to either candidate, Illinois

[8:00] and Michigan would certainly qualify as

[8:02] that. And let and yet you lost. Where do

[8:04] you see yourself winning now at this

[8:06] point? Well, let me preface by saying

[8:09] that in the eight states before Illinois

[8:11] and Michigan, I had won six of them uh

[8:13] in neutral territory, but we went into

[8:16] two states where there are enormous TV

[8:18] markets and to the extent that we simply

[8:20] did not have the same resources, uh we

[8:23] lost those states. Same thing happened

[8:24] to me in Texas and to some extent

[8:26] Florida. So, in the smaller states where

[8:29] the difference in resources is less

[8:30] pronounced, we do very well. So, we're

[8:33] here in Connecticut. We expect to win

[8:35] this on Tuesday. I said it's a must-win

[8:37] state for us and then hopefully go into

[8:40] New York, Wisconsin, etc. Um, again, the

[8:43] advantage of a New York and a

[8:44] Connecticut is that they people know me

[8:47] much better. So, the the hurdle of being

[8:49] a stranger is simply not here.

[8:52] >> But you call Connecticut a mustwin

[8:54] state. Now, if that does not happen, if

[8:56] Bill Clinton is the Democratic nominee,

[8:58] will you support him?

[9:00] >> I will support any Democrat. I mean, I

[9:02] got into this race when the odds were

[9:04] were very difficult because of George

[9:06] Bush. We are simply going into economic

[9:08] decline, and it seems to me that four

[9:10] more years of George Bush is simply not

[9:13] going to be appropriate to any

[9:14] definition of our children's future. So,

[9:17] I would support any Democrat and will do

[9:19] so.

[9:20] >> I pretend to be that Democrat, but I

[9:22] think generically this party simply has

[9:24] to change its message and get on to the

[9:27] the election in November. Well, looking

[9:29] at who the party might be. If Bill

[9:30] Clinton does win the nomination, would

[9:32] you accept an offer to be his running

[9:33] mate?

[9:34] >> I don't think that would make any sense.

[9:36] We simply have very different views. I'm

[9:38] a hard choice candidate and I would find

[9:40] it very difficult to be part of an

[9:42] administration that I disagreed with on

[9:44] the need to make those hard choices. So,

[9:46] I think it is better that there be

[9:49] somebody else. It would I would not be

[9:51] able when asked about things like the

[9:53] middle class tax cut to do a 180 degrees

[9:56] turn in my position and do so with any

[9:59] credibility. The only alternative would

[10:01] be to embarrass an administration and I

[10:03] wish not to do that.

[10:04] >> All right, Senator Sus, thank you very

[10:06] much.

[10:07] >> Thank you.

[10:08] >> And as we mentioned earlier, former

[10:09] California Governor Jerry Brown was a

[10:11] surprise second place finisher in

[10:13] Michigan. Yet, he finished a distant

[10:15] third just a state away in Illinois. And

[10:17] earlier this morning, I spoke with Jerry

[10:19] Brown from Milwaukee.

[10:21] >> What do you make of this? Why do you

[10:23] think you did so well in Michigan and

[10:25] yet so poorly in Illinois?

[10:27] >> Well, because I barely went there. I

[10:28] went to the St. Patrick's Day parade. We

[10:31] were not able to buy any television and

[10:33] we're up against a a very powerful

[10:35] juggernaut uh in Mr. Bill Clinton. He's

[10:38] he's clever and he has a lot of money

[10:40] and he's got a lot of politicians in his

[10:42] corner. Uh we're standing against all

[10:44] that. Uh, true, I come from the

[10:46] political process, but knowing how it's

[10:49] failing, I've decided to go to the

[10:51] grassroots, build an insurgent movement,

[10:54] and make a frontal assault on uh on this

[10:57] whole system.

[10:57] >> All right. Now, where do you plan to

[10:59] pick up those votes then? Because

[11:00] clearly Bill Clinton has almost nearly

[11:02] 50% now of the of the of the votes that

[11:04] he needs, of the delegates he needs.

[11:07] Where do you think you're going to win?

[11:08] Well, we got to pick them up in

[11:10] Wisconsin and New York, uh, Minnesota,

[11:12] go back to Iowa and get some of Harkkins

[11:14] delegates and win in places like

[11:17] California and New York in such a

[11:19] convincing way that Democrats realize

[11:22] that that Clinton is not the person to

[11:24] lead this party. And I don't think he's

[11:25] the person to lead the party because I

[11:27] don't think he represents the level or

[11:30] extent of change required to create the

[11:33] uh the justice and the opportunity that

[11:36] this society desperately needs.

[11:38] But if you look at the numbers at this

[11:40] point, it does look as though he has the

[11:42] best shot at the nomination. Are you

[11:44] concerned at all? You're constantly

[11:46] taking shots at him might then damage

[11:48] his chances of beating a Republican in

[11:51] the fall.

[11:52] >> Look, this is not about helping his

[11:54] chances and not helping him. It's about

[11:56] telling the truth about our country.

[11:59] It's being ripped apart. I believe

[12:01] democracy is being undermined. Unless

[12:03] somebody sounds the alarm and gives the

[12:06] call to arms, I really fear for our

[12:08] future. So, I'm going to do everything I

[12:11] possibly can to give the people of our

[12:13] nation a chance to take back to take

[12:15] back their democracy, to take back our

[12:18] country, which I feel has been taken

[12:20] over by uh consultants, by big money,

[12:23] and by a governing elite that is so

[12:25] separated from the American people that

[12:27] the gap is almost impossible to describe

[12:30] in words. But if Bill Clinton is the

[12:33] nominee of your party in the end, will

[12:34] you support him?

[12:35] >> Hey, I'm not prepared to say that today.

[12:37] Let's see what happens. I find our

[12:39] differences are growing, not

[12:41] diminishing. And what is so important to

[12:43] me is that the kids in the inner cities,

[12:46] the people that are being laid off in

[12:47] Detroit and in Wisconsin and other

[12:50] places, that somebody stand up and speak

[12:52] for them. And everywhere I go, I hear

[12:54] the same cry. Who's talking for us?

[12:56] Who's on my side? And I don't care who

[12:58] the party's putting up here. I'm going

[13:00] to give the truth and I'm going to make

[13:02] sure that America has a true opposition

[13:05] to represent the ideals and the goals

[13:08] and the hopes of how our nation was

[13:10] founded and and what I believe can pull

[13:12] us together as a people.

[13:15] >> Former Governor Jerry Brown, thank you.

[13:17] Right now, almost 15 minutes after her

[13:19] victory in a Senate primary, did voters

[13:21] see the race as a battle of the sexes?

[13:23] When Good Morning America continues.

[13:32] A two-term senator, Alan Dixon from the

[13:34] state of Illinois in the Democratic

[13:35] primary. She's the Cook County Recorder

[13:37] of Deeds. Her name is Carol Mosley Brun.

[13:40] >> She only decided to run against Dixon

[13:42] after he voted in favor of the

[13:43] confirmation of Supreme Court nominee

[13:45] Clarence Thomas last fall. And Carol

[13:47] Mosley Braun joins us now from Chicago.

[13:49] Good morning. Good to have you with us.

[13:50] Congratulations.

[13:51] >> Good morning. Thank you.

[13:52] >> In a in a nutshell, if you could uh why

[13:55] do you think you won? Was it as simple

[13:56] as as Dixon voting for Clarence Thomas?

[13:59] >> Oh, no. It was the entire record and the

[14:02] people of the state responded to my

[14:04] message of making government work better

[14:06] for Illinois, giving voice to folks who

[14:08] had been locked out of the Senate. Uh,

[14:10] and there was enough volunteers and

[14:12] volunteer effort and commitment and hard

[14:15] work and uh, prayer and it worked.

[14:17] >> The Dixon people have been rather

[14:18] magnanimous in defeat. I guess you'd

[14:20] have to say Senator Dixon complimented

[14:22] you on the quality of your campaign. In

[14:23] fact,

[14:24] >> I would compliment him as well.

[14:25] >> It seemed like he and and also Mr.

[14:27] Hoffel, the other candidate, uh they

[14:29] almost ignored you. Did they spent a lot

[14:31] of money battling each other and you uh

[14:33] you managed to come in, surprising maybe

[14:35] even yourself?

[14:37] >> Well, we no we we knew we could win. We

[14:39] continue with the plan. We started and

[14:41] we went door to door and talked to

[14:42] people and had volunteers uh come

[14:45] together in meetings and we talked about

[14:46] the issues. We stayed positive and we

[14:48] stayed on the substantive issues. And if

[14:50] anything, uh, the people of Illinois

[14:52] chose substance over sound bites in this

[14:54] election.

[14:54] >> You were quoted as saying that you

[14:56] believe Senator Dixon was simply too

[14:57] conservative for Illinois Democrats.

[14:59] How, if if you are elected in November,

[15:01] how would you be more liberal?

[15:03] >> Well, it's not a matter of conservative

[15:05] versus liberal. It's a matter of of

[15:07] working on behalf of the people's

[15:09] interest. And our state is hurting as

[15:11] much of the country is. And I think

[15:13] folks had a sense that that the Senate

[15:15] had lost touch with Illinois, that our

[15:17] senator had lost touch with Illinois.

[15:19] and they really wanted to see more

[15:22] attention paid to the economic concerns

[15:24] of our state. And I've got the ability

[15:26] and the background and the skill to do

[15:28] that.

[15:28] >> Senator Dixon had not lost one single

[15:30] election in 43 years. You now have won

[15:33] an election that that will make history

[15:34] because you would become the first black

[15:36] woman in the history of this country to

[15:38] serve in the United States Senate and

[15:39] the first Democratic woman at that. And

[15:42] that's got to give you a sense of

[15:43] history, I would presume.

[15:44] >> Oh, yes. Yes. I'm I'm honored and and

[15:47] delighted again to have an opportunity

[15:49] to to be a voice for working people, a

[15:51] voice for women, a voice for minorities

[15:54] who previously did not have a a a voice

[15:57] in the chambers of the United States

[15:58] Senate.

[15:59] >> Now, you got about I think 38% of the

[16:01] vote according to our our latest uh

[16:03] tabulations here just is squeaking at a

[16:05] victory and and I wonder whether you

[16:08] know it used to be if you win the

[16:09] Democratic primary anywhere near Chicago

[16:10] in the state of Illinois, you're going

[16:11] to you're going to win the general

[16:12] election. I presume that it might be a

[16:14] little bit tougher this time around

[16:15] considering the fact that you didn't

[16:17] have a majority in the primary.

[16:19] >> Well, uh it was a three-way it was a

[16:21] three-way primary, so it would have been

[16:22] tough to do that. But, um uh I think

[16:26] that uh the Democrats in the state are

[16:28] going to come together. Uh people who

[16:29] are who want to see government work

[16:31] better are going to come together and

[16:33] we're going to win in November. I think

[16:35] it's going to be competitive, but uh

[16:37] then the election in November will be

[16:38] competitive in any event. So, I'm really

[16:40] optimistic that uh we will go to the

[16:42] United States Senate and we will have

[16:43] made history in this state.

[16:45] >> What would your first legislative agenda

[16:46] item be if you if you were to get to the

[16:48] Senate?

[16:51] >> I haven't gotten that far. Thank you

[16:52] very much.

[16:53] >> What What do you want to accomplish

[16:54] though? I mean, what specifically, you

[16:56] talk about helping the working class and

[16:57] bringing a greater more expanded voice.

[16:59] What specifically though would you like

[17:01] to accomplish?

[17:02] >> I specifically would like to get the

[17:03] federal government more involved in

[17:05] education. I think that uh funding of

[17:07] education, helping support education is

[17:10] a major omission and I that's the

[17:11] direction I'd like to move in. Uh there

[17:13] was a lot of concern for bringing

[17:15] federal dollars back to Illinois. Our

[17:17] state does so poorly in that regard. So

[17:19] I'd want to work on that. Uh there are

[17:21] number of areas. Healthcare is another

[17:23] area. So there is an agenda and goes to

[17:26] the kind of economic security issues in

[17:28] the future of our state that uh we

[17:31] talked about all through the campaign.

[17:32] and I'm ready and and willing and

[17:35] anxious to get started working on those

[17:36] in the Senate.

[17:37] >> There are some who see in your victory

[17:38] though and in the U defeat of several

[17:40] other incumbents in the state of

[17:42] Illinois uh a warning shot now to other

[17:44] incumbents. Do you think that you're the

[17:45] first of many new candidates to suddenly

[17:48] find their way in?

[17:49] >> Well, I know that government's got to

[17:51] work better for people and government's

[17:53] got to serve the little guy better and

[17:55] uh so we can do that.

[17:56] >> Well, we thank you for being with us,

[17:57] Carol Mosley. Congratulations to you.

[17:59] We'll take a break right now. In the

[18:00] next half hour, the chairman of the

[18:02] Republican and Democratic parties when

[18:04] we continue.

[18:05] >> I'm going to look awesome. Introducing

[18:07] the Jenny Craig weight loss rebate.

[18:09] >> I needed a push.

[18:12] >> Come up.

[18:17] What a beautiful morning.

[18:21] Oh, what a beautiful day.

[18:24] We'd like to thank Mark

[18:34] >> That is Vermont's Bolton Valley Ski

[18:36] School with our theme this morning.

[18:38] Welcome back to CBS This Morning. I'm

[18:39] Harry Smith.

[18:40] >> Good morning everybody. I'm Paul

[18:41] Lazison.

[18:42] >> Good morning. I'm Mark Mcuin. And

[18:43] they're welcome. I did send snow up

[18:44] their way. More snow coming here, by the

[18:46] way, tomorrow.

[18:46] >> Isn't that lovely? How many inches,

[18:48] Mark?

[18:48] >> 48 inches.

[18:49] >> Has it even snowed here this week?

[18:51] >> Three inches of snow in New York City

[18:53] all year. Syracuse had almost 160 ines

[18:56] of snow.

[18:57] >> And you know what? I'm going to miss

[18:58] this storm. Headed to LA to do Murphy

[19:01] Brown after today's broadcast.

[19:02] >> Getting out just in the nick of time, it

[19:04] sounds like. Can you tell one kind of

[19:06] mutual fund from another? Well, our

[19:08] money editor, John Stair, is going to be

[19:10] with us in just a couple of minutes to

[19:12] sort that out and also to tell you what

[19:14] happens to your taxes if you sell your

[19:23] you get in coronary bypass surgery could

[19:26] depend on where you live and even the

[19:41] >> And stay with us just a little bit later

[19:43] for a very important story, the

[19:44] referendum to decide the fate of South

[19:47] Africa. We're going to be talking with

[19:49] Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

[19:51] >> First, let's get you caught up on the

[19:53] latest news this morning. Last night's

[19:55] primary results have virtually ended the

[19:57] Republican presidential contest and may

[19:59] have gone a long way toward doing the

[20:01] same for the Democrats. Bill Clinton

[20:02] celebrated solid victories in both

[20:04] Michigan and Illinois. He now has almost

[20:07] half the delegates needed for the

[20:09] Democratic nomination. Jerry Brown came

[20:11] in second in Michigan, third in

[20:13] Illinois, and promised to start raising

[20:15] hell this morning in Wisconsin. Paul

[20:18] Sonis was disappointed by his showing,

[20:20] but predicted victory in Connecticut

[20:22] next week. On the Republican side,

[20:24] President Bush said his two victories

[20:26] yesterday gave him enough delegates to

[20:28] virtually assure his nomination. Patrick

[20:31] Buchanan fell below his previous vote

[20:33] totals and the challenger began scaling

[20:35] back his campaign effort. In another

[20:38] contest yesterday, Illinois Democratic

[20:39] Senator Alan Dixon lost his bid for

[20:42] renomination. He was beaten by Carol

[20:44] Mosley Brawn, a county official who

[20:46] entered the race after Dixon voted for

[20:48] the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court

[20:50] nomination. In other news this morning

[20:52] in South Africa, the right-wing

[20:54] opposition is conceding defeat in the

[20:56] whites only referendum to end apartite.

[20:59] Results show a decisive victory for

[21:01] President FW D Clerk and his policy of

[21:04] reform. Alan Pizzy reports.

[21:10] >> And from the newsroom in the race

[21:11] against the Clark to get results.

[21:13] >> The first result in were from rural

[21:15] areas and they were hugely in favor of

[21:17] yes to reform. The first no vote was

[21:19] from the conservative heartland of

[21:21] Petersburg. But even that was only a 14%

[21:24] win for those who reject political

[21:26] reform. a result that was almost an

[21:28] embarrassment for the Conservative

[21:29] Party, which totally controlled the

[21:31] area. The reformers were already

[21:33] beginning to talk of what next.

[21:35] >> The important thing now is to try and do

[21:37] something about um uplifting the

[21:40] standard of living and providing

[21:42] employment for those millions of black

[21:43] people who haven't got jobs.

[21:45] >> Black trade unions turned a scheduled

[21:47] sales tax protest into what they called

[21:49] a referendum march, a foretaste of the

[21:52] demands that blacks will be making for

[21:53] the process of political change to be

[21:55] accelerated. We have waited too long for

[21:59] our liberal. We can wait no longer.

[22:03] >> Time was also on the minds of the

[22:05] conservatives who reject reform. They

[22:07] were already complaining that there had

[22:09] not been enough time for them to

[22:10] organize their campaign before the

[22:12] voting. If the trend continues, there

[22:14] are fears of how the extreme right-wing

[22:16] will react. The neo-Nazi Afreconer

[22:19] resistance movement said even before the

[22:21] voting began that they would use force

[22:23] if, as they put it, the country is

[22:25] handed over to the African National

[22:27] Congress.

[22:28] >> The government says that won't happen,

[22:29] that the reform process will be done

[22:31] carefully. It looks as though whites

[22:33] will give an overwhelming go-ahad for

[22:35] the government and its allies to press

[22:36] on. The question now is whether blacks

[22:39] will be happy with the pace. Alan Pizzy,

[22:41] CBS News, Johannesburg. Israeli

[22:44] officials are vowing revenge this

[22:45] morning for the deadly attack on their

[22:47] embassy in Argentina. Seven people are

[22:50] known dead and up to 30 people may still

[22:52] be trapped in the rubble of the embassy

[22:54] building in Buenosarees. Officials

[22:56] believe it was a car bomb that leveled

[22:58] the building. Argentina is calling on

[23:00] the CIA and Israeli intelligence to help

[23:02] hunt down the bombers. Time to take a

[23:05] look at the financial markets this

[23:06] morning. The dollar is mixed. London

[23:08] stock prices are lower. And in Tokyo,

[23:10] the Nikkay index fell 153 points, a

[23:13] decline of threequarters of 1%. Wall

[23:16] Street starts the day with the Dow

[23:17] Industrials above 3,256.

[23:20] The Dow gained almost 20 points

[23:22] yesterday. That's

[23:30] >> 100% Uh-huh.

[23:36] Only two Americanmade luxury automobiles

[23:39] provide both driver and passenger side

[23:42] airbags. One of them is a Lincoln

[23:48] and the other one is a Lincoln.

[23:51] With Lincoln, it's easy to be on the

[23:53] safe side.

[23:57] Lincoln, what a luxury car should be.
