[0:01] The presidential campaign glows hot in
[0:04] Michigan, where disenchanted union
[0:06] voters may make the difference. In
[0:08] California, more evidence of a white
[0:11] collar recession as hundreds line up for
[0:14] a handful of jobs. Also, eye on America.
[0:17] Tonight, good news about one man who's
[0:20] looking for answers far from his
[0:22] corporate office. This is the CBS
[0:26] Evening News.
[0:33] Good evening, Dan Rather reporting. With
[0:35] jobs, business, and the overall state of
[0:37] the nation's economy, key issues, the
[0:40] presidential campaign is now centered in
[0:42] the industrial Midwest. Key primaries
[0:45] are looming Tuesday in Illinois and
[0:47] Michigan. President Bush barnstormed
[0:49] through Michigan today, talking up
[0:51] deregulation to help the auto industry
[0:53] and unveiling another new negative
[0:56] campaign attack against Republican
[0:58] challenger Patrick Buchanan. Susan
[1:00] Spencer begins our coverage.
[1:04] Worried about another big protest vote
[1:05] in a hurting state, President Bush
[1:07] arrived in Michigan bearing gifts for
[1:09] the auto industry, announcing that the
[1:11] government will drop a proposed
[1:13] pollution control requirement, new
[1:15] anti-mog devices, saying they may not be
[1:18] safe.
[1:19] >> We've got to put an end to excessive
[1:22] government regulation.
[1:24] Our companies can't compete if the
[1:26] government chokes them off in red tape.
[1:28] Environmentalists though called it just
[1:30] another example of federal goodies
[1:32] suspensed for political gain.
[1:34] >> The approach now is favors for industry
[1:37] now the breathing public can wait.
[1:39] >> But the auto industry is Michigan
[1:41] politics. And Mr. Bush was even asked
[1:44] today about suggestions he intervened to
[1:46] be sure General Motors closed plants in
[1:48] Michigan, not in his adopted state of
[1:51] Texas. And I'm standing here to tell you
[1:54] with everything I can muster that I made
[1:57] no such intervention. And I take it as a
[1:59] direct attack on my character. It is a
[2:02] bald face lie.
[2:04] >> Things are just as hot on the Michigan
[2:06] airwaves. And again, car is the scene.
[2:08] Pat Buchanan's cars.
[2:10] >> Pat Buchanan. It's America first in his
[2:13] political speeches, but a foreignade car
[2:16] in his driveway. Buchanan, who once
[2:18] called his Cadillac a lemon, doesn't
[2:20] deny he drives a Mercedes.
[2:22] >> And if folks want to say that's a
[2:24] mistake, fine. But the biggest lemon the
[2:26] American people bought in 1988, I think,
[2:29] was the Bush Quail administration if
[2:31] they thought they were getting a
[2:32] conservative government.
[2:34] >> Buchanan's counterpunch is a spot
[2:35] claiming the president's campaign staff
[2:37] is far too chummy with Detroit's arch
[2:40] rival, the Japanese.
[2:42] >> Communications director James H. Lake
[2:44] registered agent Japan Auto Parts.
[2:47] >> A Bush campaign official called that
[2:49] silly, goofy, not credible, and
[2:51] desperate, putting to rest any idea that
[2:53] just because the Republican contest
[2:55] seems decided, it's going to get any
[2:57] nicer. Susan Spencer, CBS News, the
[3:00] White House.
[3:01] >> The Democrats also are out scrambling
[3:03] for the support of the auto workers.
[3:05] Tonight, Bill Clinton won endorsements
[3:07] from representatives of a cross-section
[3:08] of other unions with 400,000 members in
[3:12] Illinois. Overall, how do Clinton, Paul
[3:15] Sonis, and Jerry Brown come across to
[3:17] the union leaders and to the rank and
[3:19] file? Correspondent Richard Thrill has
[3:21] our report on that.
[3:23] General Motors will soon be closing its
[3:25] big auto plant at Willow Run outside
[3:28] Detroit. So, the 4,000 auto workers here
[3:30] have a lot more on their minds than
[3:32] Tuesday's Democratic primary. They were
[3:35] set to vote for Labor's candidate, Tom
[3:37] Harkin, but he's out of the race. Seems
[3:40] like any candidate that stands for the
[3:42] working man,
[3:43] the rest of the country seem to drop
[3:46] them down at the bottom of the totem
[3:47] pole. The union leadership's no help.
[3:50] The big unions backing Harkin met
[3:52] yesterday and decided not to endorse
[3:54] anybody. Bill Clinton's trying to go
[3:56] over the heads of the leadership and
[3:58] appeal to the members like Doug Arter.
[4:00] These days, a big night out for the Arer
[4:02] family is dinner at McDonald's. Clinton
[4:05] won't get Doug Arter's vote.
[4:06] >> He's from the south. right to work
[4:08] states. Uh he's not he's not a 100%
[4:11] union. Um no, he's not he hasn't been in
[4:14] the real world up here.
[4:15] >> And Clinton didn't help himself this
[4:17] month when he seemed to criticize the
[4:19] auto workers at Willow Run for not
[4:21] playing ball with GM management.
[4:24] >> Workers are going to have to change
[4:25] their attitude toward work, be willing
[4:27] to change all the work rules in order to
[4:30] be competitive. Paul Sonis is the only
[4:32] one who's against labor's big issue this
[4:34] year, stopping employers from hiring
[4:36] replacements for workers on strike.
[4:39] >> What I'm doing as a Democrat is to say,
[4:42] you take your money, you invest it. You
[4:44] have an investment strategy.
[4:46] >> Linda Long, who's likely to lose her job
[4:49] and child support for her three kids
[4:51] when Willow Run closes, thinks Paul
[4:53] Sonis is just a Republican in disguise.
[4:56] >> He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. He sees
[4:57] it. No, Sus is not the answer.
[5:01] >> The twiddly dumb twiddly D candidates,
[5:05] uh, Sus and, uh, and what's Clinton,
[5:08] >> it's a measure of labor's disenchantment
[5:10] with those two, then a lot of these
[5:12] workers are going to vote for Jerry
[5:14] Brown because Brown says he's against
[5:16] exporting jobs to Mexico.
[5:19] >> I mean, when you give somebody 60 cents
[5:21] an hour, how can you compete against
[5:23] that? What are you going to sell to
[5:24] them? Tacos. The bad news here for the
[5:27] Democrats is that union voters think
[5:29] this year's crop of candidates leaves a
[5:31] lot to be desired. The bad news for the
[5:34] Republicans is that most union voters
[5:36] think even the least of the Democrats is
[5:38] better than George Bush. Richard Fel,
[5:41] CBS News, Detroit.
[5:43] Far from the shrinking assembly lines in
[5:45] the Midwest, unemployment lines now
[5:48] include growing numbers of people you
[5:50] don't expect to see out of work and in
[5:53] unemployment lines. As Ron Allen reports
[5:55] from California, you could see plenty of
[5:57] those people in Los Angeles today.
[6:00] >> What's wrong with this picture? Hundreds
[6:02] of professional people dressed for
[6:04] success, but they're all looking for
[6:06] jobs. Like Tom Jackson, a single father,
[6:09] an executive in the mobile home business
[6:11] who was laid off a month ago.
[6:13] >> I have to get a job in the next 2 three
[6:14] weeks or or it's devastation time.
[6:17] >> Or Bruce Nelson, sales director for an
[6:20] electronics firm until 8 weeks ago. Is
[6:22] this the first time you've really been
[6:23] unemployed?
[6:24] >> Uh, yeah. Since I got out of college in
[6:27] ' 77. Yeah.
[6:28] >> And they're all on a much slower track
[6:29] now, looking for work at a job fair.
[6:32] They're among the more than 170,000
[6:34] white collar workers across the nation.
[6:37] Knocked off the career ladder this year
[6:38] by the recession.
[6:40] >> May I leave my resume?
[6:41] >> How about outside sales now?
[6:43] >> Next.
[6:43] >> Nearly a thousand people arrived in the
[6:45] first hour to meet with just 15
[6:48] potential employers. I'm currently uh
[6:50] director of sales.
[6:52] >> Competition is real tough.
[6:54] >> It's extremely tough. A lot of people
[6:56] that have experience and know
[6:57] everybody's going out to the same
[6:58] position.
[6:59] >> Tom Jackson has 22 years of experience,
[7:02] but he'll consider anything.
[7:04] >> I'll be willing to relocate if that's
[7:05] what it took.
[7:06] >> I'm looking for uh engineering
[7:08] positions,
[7:08] >> quality engineering,
[7:09] >> customer service,
[7:11] >> accounting management. It's great for me
[7:13] because I have the the pick of um some
[7:16] of the best people out there right now.
[7:19] >> Your resume should reflect the most
[7:21] positive and marketable you.
[7:22] >> But there are fewer than 100 jobs to be
[7:25] filled.
[7:26] >> After all, it's a recession.
[7:27] >> I think because this is an election
[7:29] year, things probably pick up by
[7:31] September, but I can't wait till
[7:32] September.
[7:33] >> The harsh reality is Jackson and many
[7:36] others here may have to. The
[7:38] >> economy is just killing us all. Ron
[7:40] Allen, CBS News, Los Angeles.
[7:43] >> Still ahead on tonight's CBS Evening
[7:45] News, is Israel selling US military
[7:48] technology to China and South Africa?
[7:51] And cancer research? There may be
[7:54] another good reason to eat your
[7:56] vegetables.
[8:04] Everybody needs some money.
[8:08] >> To send money fast, call 1800 call cashe
[8:10] or come to any Western Union location.
[8:16] >> Western Union, fastest way to send
[8:18] money. From the frigid North Atlantic to
[8:21] the treacherous waters of New Zealand,
[8:24] from oceans all over the world comes red
[8:26] lobsters, worlds of lobster. Now,
[8:30] succulent rock lobster, petite deep sea
[8:33] lobster, sweet Maine lobster in
[8:36] delicious combinations and at special
[8:38] prices you'll think the world of. Hurry
[8:41] in now because this spectacular event
[8:43] ends soon. Red Lobsters, World of
[8:47] Lobster.
[8:50] I live in the country where everything
[8:52] tastes a little sweeter and a little
[8:54] fresher. Maybe that's what I like best
[8:56] about these Sunsweet pitted prunes. I
[8:59] can taste all that goodness in Sunsweet.
[9:06] >> Israel is denying a report that it has
[9:08] sold US military technology, including
[9:11] secrets of the Patriot missile, to China
[9:13] and other countries. Spokesmen for the
[9:16] Bush administration say they are still
[9:18] concerned by the reports. David Martin
[9:20] at the Pentagon has been looking into
[9:22] this.
[9:24] >> US
[9:31] technology for the Americanmade Patriot
[9:33] missile to China.
[9:35] >> We have some concerns. We're discussing
[9:37] it with the Israelis. I don't want to go
[9:38] into it beyond that. Richard Clark is in
[9:40] charge of the office which monitors arm
[9:42] sales. And according to the Wall Street
[9:44] Journal, an investigation by the State
[9:46] Department's Inspector General found
[9:48] that Clark's office has done a poor job
[9:50] of keeping track of US weapons
[9:51] technology once it reaches Israel. US
[9:54] intelligence has long suspected Israel
[9:56] of passing American know-how on to
[9:59] countries like China and South Africa,
[10:01] which use the technology to build
[10:02] weapons they would be unable to buy from
[10:05] the US. Other countries I think see
[10:08] Israel as a backdoor if you will to US
[10:11] technology. Now I don't mean US produced
[10:16] final end product. I don't mean
[10:18] necessarily US produced bits and pieces
[10:20] and components.
[10:22] Again it's the it's the idea. It's the
[10:25] knowhow to make it. Technology used in
[10:28] the American Sidewinder air-to-air
[10:30] missile is sold to Israel for its Python
[10:32] missile. That same technology then shows
[10:35] up in a Chinese air-to-air missile. Did
[10:38] Israel illegally transfer US technology?
[10:41] >> It would be really rough as a to try to
[10:43] prove. You would have to get
[10:46] the foreign, i.e. the non-Israeli
[10:49] produced object. You'd have to get hold
[10:51] of one. You would have to have an expert
[10:54] practically take it apart and look at
[10:56] it.
[10:56] >> Israeli officials have consistently
[10:58] denied any illegal transfer of American
[11:00] weapons technology. Nevertheless,
[11:02] Defense Secretary Cheney will raise the
[11:04] issue once again with the Israeli
[11:06] Defense Minister when he visits
[11:08] Washington next week. David Martin, CBS
[11:10] News, the Pentagon.
[11:12] >> Congress members by the dozens fessed up
[11:14] today to using the House Bank to write
[11:17] bad checks. It was either that or be
[11:19] named in public anyway. The House voted
[11:21] early today to disclose the names of all
[11:24] current and former members who bounce
[11:26] checks at the bank. The list includes
[11:28] Speaker Tom Foley and Republican whip N.
[11:31] Genrich.
[11:34] Now, here's a look at some other stories
[11:35] CBS News is following. Higher prices are
[11:38] coming to your supermarket. The
[11:40] government says the wholesale cost of
[11:42] food soared last month. Inflation
[11:45] overall is still well under control. In
[11:49] Moscow, the former Communist Party
[11:50] newspaper Prada is suspending
[11:52] publication. Prabda was founded by Linen
[11:55] 80 years ago. It's folding because of
[11:57] rising costs and plunging circulation.
[12:00] In Houston, a man who agreed to be
[12:03] castrated rather than be tried for rape
[12:05] has changed his mind. And the accused,
[12:08] Steve Butler, now has the support of
[12:10] Jesse Jackson. Jackson notes that no one
[12:12] is recommending cutting off the hands of
[12:15] SNL thieves. And America's newest space
[12:19] shuttle was rolled out to the launch pad
[12:20] today. It's called Endeavor. Price $1.8
[12:23] billion. first flight probably in May, a
[12:27] satellite rescue mission. There is more
[12:30] CBS news ahead, including Eye on America
[12:32] tonight, a program to reward the best
[12:35] teacher.
[12:35] >> And I am absolutely thrilled to tell you
[12:37] that you are one of our 1992 Golden
[12:40] Apple winners.
[12:44] Oh my god. Oh my god.
[12:50] Whirlpool believes a great washer is one
[12:53] you rarely ever think about. Solidly
[12:55] built to do its job for years without a
[12:57] second thought. If you want a washer so
[12:59] well built you don't have to think about
[13:01] it. Think about Whirlpool.
[13:05] >> Can I get that right back in five?
[13:07] Stephanie,
[13:07] >> when you're trying to eat right, days
[13:09] like this are a disaster. This it
[13:12] >> Stephanie Powers talks about Kellogg's
[13:14] Neutrorain. The only time I really
[13:16] control what I eat is at breakfast. And
[13:18] the whole grain in Kellogg's Neutrorain
[13:20] gives me a natural start. No sugar
[13:23] added, no preservatives, nothing fake.
[13:26] No matter what I eat later, as
[13:28] breakfast, I call a shot.
[13:30] >> Naturally good. Neutra, the natural
[13:33] place to start.
[13:36] >> It's Domino's new better tasting pizza.
[13:39] >> Melted cheese, big batter topping,
[13:41] tender, tastier crust. More healthy
[13:44] cheese.
[13:46] >> Tender tastier cr.
[13:48] >> Try a medium with unlimited toppings.
[13:49] Now just $9.99.
[13:51] >> I just can't stand this anymore.
[13:54] How am I supposed to fall asleep with
[13:56] this pain? I could take one of those
[13:58] nighttime pain relievers with a sleep
[14:00] ingredient. But all I really need is
[14:03] Advil to help stop the pain it's keeping
[14:05] me up. Just Advil. That's all I want
[14:08] without the extra sleep ingredient I
[14:10] don't want. Advil is so effective. It
[14:13] relieves the pain so I can get to sleep.
[14:16] >> Discover the relief of Advil at bedtime.
[14:18] Advil, advanced medicine for pain.
[14:26] >> Where's Jay Leno? On 60 Minutes Sunday.
[14:32] A medical discovery is raising hopes for
[14:35] earlier detection of some breast
[14:37] cancers. Genetic defects are believed
[14:39] responsible for at least some forms of
[14:41] breast cancer. And for the first time,
[14:43] doctors in Japan say they have actually
[14:46] found those defective genes. Detecting
[14:49] cancer early is one thing. Preventing it
[14:52] is another. You'll be hearing a lot in
[14:54] the days to come about vitamins and
[14:56] vegetables and what they can or cannot
[14:58] do to reduce your cancer risk. Tonight,
[15:01] CBS News health correspondent Edie
[15:03] Magnus has some remarkable new findings
[15:05] in her report. cancer. Stalking the
[15:08] killer.
[15:11] >> I do not like broccoli and I haven't
[15:14] liked it since I was a little kid and my
[15:16] mother made me eat it.
[15:18] >> With all due respect, Mr. President, you
[15:20] and other broccoli haters may want to
[15:22] eat your words. Studies are now
[15:24] beginning to demonstrate that broccoli
[15:26] and certain other vegetables contain
[15:28] specific chemicals that may prevent you
[15:30] from getting cancer. We can perhaps now
[15:33] get these chemicals out of the
[15:35] vegetable, give them to people and
[15:37] specifically uh reduce cancer risk, also
[15:40] risk for other chronic diseases.
[15:44] >> These folks are not chefs in a kitchen.
[15:46] They're scientists at New York's
[15:47] Institute for Hormone Research. And
[15:49] they've discovered that a chemical
[15:51] called indolearbinol
[15:53] found in broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels
[15:55] sprouts can reduce the presence of a bad
[15:57] form of estrogen, which is linked to
[15:59] breast cancer and can increase
[16:01] production of a good or inactive form of
[16:03] estrogen.
[16:04] >> These estrogen changes we believe are
[16:06] going to be directly related to reduced
[16:08] cancer rates in women.
[16:09] >> There's got to be a better way than
[16:11] chemotherapy and radiation. Svita
[16:14] McCarthy watched her mother, father, and
[16:15] older sister die of cancer. Now she's
[16:18] among dozens of women taking part in the
[16:20] study by taking a daily dose of pure
[16:22] indole carbinol. Each pill is roughly
[16:25] the equivalent of a head of broccoli.
[16:27] >> This is the natural way for me to keep
[16:31] my body healthy. And I rather do this
[16:35] than get cancer. A prospect that is
[16:37] especially frightening these days since
[16:40] the incidence of breast cancer is
[16:41] inexplicably increasing. One in nine
[16:44] women will develop it and some 44,000
[16:46] women die of breast cancer each year.
[16:49] >> We need to look much more at the area of
[16:51] prevention. Some advances have been made
[16:54] in the treatment of the disease, but the
[16:56] advances are modest.
[16:58] Experts point out that no single
[17:00] vegetable is going to provide anyone
[17:02] with an an immunity to cancer now or in
[17:04] the future. But they can help.
[17:06] Researchers believe a pill containing
[17:08] pure indole carbinol could be available
[17:11] to the public in 3 to 5 years. Dan,
[17:14] >> what about beta carotene?
[17:15] >> That's also good. According to the
[17:17] evidence, beta carotene of course found
[17:18] in carrots and certain other fruits and
[17:20] vegetables. And the studies have found
[17:21] that high consumption of beta carotene
[17:24] may help prevent cancers of the lung,
[17:26] breast and skin.

[18:28] >> Thanks, doctor.
[18:30] >> How many times I told my dad to see a
[18:32] doctor. He was stubborn,
[18:36] but the pain in his stomach just
[18:37] wouldn't go away.
[18:39] >> He had to go.
[18:41] >> You should have seen the relief on his
[18:43] face when the doctor said my answer. He
[18:46] said it was indigestion and his kind of
[18:48] indigestion needed strong medicine.
[18:49] >> Milanta is strong medicine. Strongly
[18:52] recommended. In fact, Milanta is the ant
[18:54] acid doctors recommend most.

[19:28] a wave of violence has swept across
[19:31] South Africa. 24 people were killed in
[19:33] the worst political fighting this year.
[19:35] It came just 4 days before a crucial
[19:38] vote by South African whites. A yes or
[19:40] no referendum on reform. As Alan Pizzy
[19:42] reports, President M. clerk wants a
[19:44] mandate from the white minority to leave
[19:46] apartheid behind and move ahead toward a
[19:48] multi-racial democracy.
[19:54] >> They come every week to buy to build a
[19:56] white future and many think the
[19:58] government is selling them out. Most of
[20:00] these Africa Connors will vote no to
[20:02] negotiation with the black majority. Jan
[20:05] Staten believes a yes vote in next
[20:07] week's referendum would lead to black
[20:09] majority rule and chaos. cuz we we've
[20:12] got no home country to go back to. I
[20:15] mean, we white African tribe, you know,
[20:17] that's what we are. So, we got to stay
[20:19] put here and make the best of things.
[20:22] >> In the farming town of Bethl, that means
[20:24] no end to a partite. No place for
[20:26] blacks.
[20:27] >> We can't live with them. It's a
[20:30] different It's a different to get a
[20:32] different nation. So, we can't live with
[20:33] them.
[20:35] >> So, I hate them.
[20:39] There is a deep rooted belief here that
[20:41] God ordains the white man's dominant
[20:43] role in South Africa and annoying fear
[20:46] that their privileged world is about to
[20:48] end. But some are reluctantly beginning
[20:51] to buy the government's new line that
[20:53] apartheite failed.
[20:54] >> I don't know. I know where my heart
[20:57] lies.
[20:59] But yes, that's a logical way to go. A
[21:03] few miles and a world away in the
[21:05] Mandela squatter camp, blacks whose
[21:07] future also hangs on the referendum can
[21:09] only talk about it.
[21:12] A yes vote, Nina Maleni says, is the
[21:14] only way a partite is ever going to end
[21:17] here. Her home is an immaculate two-
[21:19] room shack. She says she just wants a
[21:22] real house and a job to live nice like
[21:24] white people. So why don't the whites of
[21:26] Bethl see that?
[21:28] >> I don't know.
[21:30] We want to know why
[21:37] they don't like black people. They don't
[21:40] want to stay with black people.
[21:46] >> Whites may have a choice now, but in the
[21:48] end, blacks are convinced the future is
[21:50] theirs, and they won't take no for an
[21:53] answer. Alan Pezy, CBS News,

[22:04] People love the old type of granola
[22:06] because it was loaded with great taste.
[22:08] They didn't know it was also loaded with
[22:11] fat. Introducing a new type of granola.
[22:14] New Kellogg's low-fat granola with a new
[22:17] granola type. All the delicious whole
[22:19] grains, almonds, and raisins you love,
[22:22] but only half the fat of leading granas.
[22:24] So, if you like the great taste of
[22:26] granola, but don't want all the fat, try
[22:29] new Kellogg's low-fat granola. Great
[22:31] taste, half the fat.
[22:34] >> You know, if you drink a lot of fruit
[22:36] juice,
[22:36] >> and apparently you do.
[22:37] >> That's my point. Sunsweet prune juice
[22:39] makes a really delicious change of pace
[22:41] from these other juices.
[22:42] >> You mean there are people who still
[22:43] haven't tried Sunsweet prune juice?
[22:45] >> Hard to believe with my charisma.
[22:52] I want to go see my granddaughter say
[22:55] you think about your day. what you would
[22:59] do if you won a million out of the blue.
[23:06] Mirales can happen can happen for you
[23:23] >> for cleaning, shining, and disinfecting.
[23:26] Nothing outperforms us in the bathroom.
[23:28] Dow bathroom cleaner starring Scrubbing
[23:30] Bubbles. We work hard so you don't have
[23:33] to.
[23:34] >> State finals coming up. A
[23:36] >> lot of pressure to win. I don't eat
[23:38] right. I get a regular so I don't
[23:40] project the winning attitude and the
[23:42] boys see that. I tried some natural bulk
[23:44] fiber, but I couldn't take all that
[23:46] grit. Then I discovered Sunrise Smooth
[23:48] Metamucil. No grit in the mix or the
[23:51] taste. Easy to get the extra fiber I
[23:53] need every day to stay regular.
[23:57] You got a winning attitude, you win if
[23:59] you're lucky.
[24:00] >> Met a mucus and you could stay regular
[24:02] for the rest of your life.
[24:07] >> Everyone agrees public schools in
[24:09] America need help, but few are willing
[24:11] to sacrifice the time and money it takes
[24:14] to make a difference. Tonight's Eye on
[24:16] America looks at one man who is willing
[24:18] and what he's done for some of the
[24:20] country's most belleaguered schools and
[24:22] teachers. Jazelle Fernandez reports.
[24:27] >> Equity is equity is equity. I mean,
[24:29] you're you're talking about five or six.
[24:31] >> In the heart of Chicago's financial
[24:32] district, a high-powered venture
[24:34] capitalist is making a different kind of
[24:36] investment in the future.
[24:39] >> Millionaire Mike Caldike has become an
[24:41] unlikely champion of education, leaving
[24:44] the comforts of his corporate suite in
[24:46] an urgent effort to try and save the
[24:48] inner city schools.
[24:49] >> You got the same problem in New York.
[24:51] You got the same problem in LA. They got
[24:52] the same problem in Dallas, all over the
[24:54] United States. What the hell are we
[24:56] going to do?
[24:57] >> Just forget about it and say, "Oh, well,
[24:59] it's okay. Societyy's going to go on and
[25:01] it'll work that way."
[25:02] >> But why you?
[25:03] >> Why not?
[25:04] >> Why not?
[25:04] >> After two decades in big business, Mike
[25:06] Kolgike is now forging unlikely
[25:08] alliances, gaining the trust of veteran
[25:11] school principles like Reva Harrison.
[25:13] >> This man comes out here, okay, that
[25:16] makes the difference. So when he talks
[25:19] about whatever program, he can't say if
[25:21] you say to him, "Do you ever seen it?"
[25:22] He say, "I was there." Somebody has to
[25:24] have hope. Somebody has to say to the
[25:27] children, "Come on, baby. Come here."
[25:29] Somebody has to say to the children,
[25:31] "Yes, you can." To Coldike, that
[25:34] somebody is a teacher. He believes they
[25:36] can save lives. Andy believes that
[25:38] during the 1980s, America abandoned both
[25:41] its minority students and the men and
[25:43] women who try and teach them. This
[25:45] society honors the buck a lot, but we
[25:48] don't pay teachers what they're worth.
[25:50] These are people that nobody has ever
[25:51] said thank you to. It's time we
[25:53] recognize the best teachers in our
[25:55] society. So, he decided to thank the
[25:58] teachers himself. Seven years ago, he
[26:00] launched the Golden Apple Foundation to
[26:02] publicly honor Chicago's classroom
[26:04] heroes by awarding them with cash, a
[26:07] semester off, and for each year's newest
[26:09] members, the thank you many have waited
[26:12] a career for. I am absolutely thrilled
[26:15] to tell you that you are one of our 1992
[26:17] Golden Apple winners.
[26:21] Oh my god.
[26:23] Oh my god.
[26:25] Oh my god.
[26:29] >> Oh gosh. I am just so thrilled. I'm so
[26:33] honored. I'm so happy. What do you
[26:35] think?
[26:36] >> Beverly Hawkins teaches children with
[26:38] learning disabilities.
[26:39] >> Read each one of the key terms. I just
[26:42] love teaching so much and and that award
[26:46] exemplifies a love, a respect,
[26:51] the highest of respect for teaching. If
[26:54] you celebrate their differences,
[26:57] you celebrate that child. Toby is one of
[26:59] the students that learns differently.
[27:02] Hi, Tobe. You had to tell me the
[27:05] greatest lesson that she's given you,
[27:06] she's taught you. What would it be?
[27:08] >> Never give up. I don't care how many
[27:10] times you you hear or someone tells you
[27:14] you're wrong, never give up on any of
[27:16] your dreams or your hopes.
[27:18] >> Mike Kike's Golden Apple Foundation is
[27:20] not only concerned with honoring the
[27:21] best teachers in the Chicago school
[27:23] system. It's also making a pledge to
[27:25] tomorrow's generation by identifying
[27:27] high school students who also want to
[27:29] make their careers in the classroom.
[27:31] >> Yeah, I did. I've wanted to be a teacher
[27:33] since the third grade.
[27:34] >> Angela Johnson is part of the Golden
[27:36] Apples Foundation Scholars program. She
[27:38] is receiving college scholarship money
[27:39] and high-powered guidance in exchange
[27:41] for her promise to become a teacher.
[27:44] >> I'm hoping to change the whole system.
[27:46] >> Still to Angela, a businessman like Mike
[27:49] Cold can only go so far.
[27:51] >> We, you know, we could be his, you know,
[27:53] his spokesperson.
[27:55] And that's exactly what we are. We are
[27:57] his spokespeople.
[27:59] >> Mike Caldike says he's not a hero. No
[28:02] one special. Just a concerned citizen
[28:04] trying to get a job done before time
[28:06] runs out. You know, I think about those
[28:08] kids and I uh it ain't easy
[28:13] and we got a lot.
[28:17] >> Watch it.
[28:19] >> It's where you belong. Saturday night at
[28:21] 9:00.
[28:25] >> It was the concert of a lifetime. In
[28:28] 1986, Vladimir Horowitz returned to
[28:31] Russia to an outpouring of emotion that
[28:33] touched the world. This is Charles Kal.
