[0:02] The forces behind the surge in the price
[0:05] of gasoline and heating oil and a long
[0:08] range forecast for wacky winter weather.
[0:10] And you can blame, you guessed it,
[0:13] leninia.
[0:16] This is the CBS Evening News
[0:20] with Dan Rather reporting from CBS News
[0:23] headquarters in New York.
[0:25] >> Good evening. What went so terribly
[0:27] wrong aboard the lear jet that carried
[0:29] golfer Payne Stewart and five others to
