[0:00] to 10 on channel 5. CBS Evening News,

[0:02] Dan Rather reporting.

[0:04] New allegations tonight concerning the

[0:06] financial dealings of President Reagan's

[0:08] friend and nominee to be Attorney

[0:09] General, Edwin Meese. New allegations

[0:12] again concerning financial disclosure

[0:14] reports Meese was required to file but

[0:17] allegedly did not. The latest problem,

[0:20] an apparent failure to list some trips

[0:22] that Meese and his wife took since 1981.

[0:25] Trips covered under the Ethics in

[0:27] Government Act which requires the

[0:29] reporting and itemizing of trips costing

[0:31] more than $250 each. Since 1981, Meese

[0:35] has filed reports on nine such trips,

[0:37] but he apparently took 130 trips during

[0:40] that time period. Senate sources say at

[0:43] least 40 of the Meese trips required the

[0:45] filing of financial reports. According

[0:48] to White House correspondent Lesley

[0:49] Stahl, a source close to Meese tonight

[0:51] says the allegations are {quote}

[0:53] "baloney, unfair, truly marginal, and

[0:56] that any failure to make those reports

[0:58] were {quote} inadvertent omissions, not

[1:01] Meese's fault."

[1:03] With the Democratic presidential

[1:04] candidates now out of the New York

[1:05] limelight, President and candidate

[1:07] Reagan today swept into New York. White

[1:09] House correspondent Bill Plante reports

[1:11] the President's trip was geared to the

[1:12] biggest potential voting block of all, a

[1:15] block that has given Ronald Reagan some

[1:16] of his biggest political problems,

[1:18] women.

[1:20] The Democrats were barely out of town

[1:22] after squabbling about what the

[1:23] presidency should be before Ronald

[1:25] Reagan, accompanied by two of the women

[1:27] he's appointed to office, swooped down

[1:29] on New York to show what the presidency

[1:31] can be and to do a little politicking of

[1:33] his own.

[1:35] His daughter Maureen, a consultant to

[1:36] the Republicans on women's issues,

[1:38] joined him before a group of business

[1:40] women. And the President complained to

[1:42] them about the so-called gender gap. The

[1:44] simple truth is, I've been frustrated by

[1:47] the perception that's been created about

[1:48] my supposed lack of interest in the

[1:51] welfare of women.

[1:53] And I'm going to take advantage of this

[1:54] opportunity to reveal some things our

[1:57] administration has been doing and that

[1:59] seemed to be closely guarded secrets up

[2:01] till now.

[2:03] The President then listed recent tax

[2:05] reforms, reduction of the marriage

[2:06] penalty, increase in tax credits for

[2:08] child care, and a pending bill to reform

[2:11] pensions for women, and other programs

[2:13] for women which he has supported. But

[2:15] the bottom line, no matter what the

[2:16] group, is always the same.

[2:19] Economic growth will provide more

[2:21] opportunities for women than if all the

[2:22] promises made in the history of

[2:24] Washington, D.C. were enacted into law.

[2:27] The President's reception was polite, a

[2:29] bit cool, and not all of the female

[2:31] entrepreneurs were convinced. I just

[2:34] don't think he's done anything for us

[2:35] and you can stand up there and and quote

[2:37] numbers, but

[2:39] what have you really done for us? I

[2:40] don't think he's done a lot. I think

[2:42] he's

[2:43] harmed us more than anything. I hope

[2:45] that

[2:45] all the promises are going to come true

[2:48] and that he will continue with the

[2:50] policy of the administration, which I

[2:51] think is and has is becoming for women.

[2:55] Democrats, however, are quick to try to

[2:57] put the President back on the defensive

[2:59] with women. He really has not lifted a

[3:01] pinky.

[3:02] All those things that he's taking credit

[3:04] for came from other people.

[3:07] But to underline the increased tax

[3:09] credit for day care, Mr. Reagan visited

[3:11] a center in a lower income Manhattan

[3:13] neighborhood.

[3:14] Mr. Reagan has done little campaigning

[3:16] recently, preferring to let the

[3:17] Democrats slug it out among themselves.

[3:19] But today, he touched base with Jews and

[3:21] Catholics as well as women, all groups

[3:23] with which he's had his problems and

[3:25] which he must reach as he tries to

[3:26] rebuild the coalition which elected him

[3:28] in 1980.

[3:30] Bill Plante, CBS News with the President

[3:32] in New York.

[3:33] The Democratic presidential candidates

[3:35] were all running hard as nails in

[3:36] Pennsylvania's steel country today. And

[3:39] with big labor support there for Walter

[3:40] Mondale going beyond getting out the

[3:42] vote to getting up the money, this is

[3:45] also raising up the issue of special

[3:47] interests and political action committee

[3:49] money. PAC money that Mondale himself

[3:52] won't take, but that some of his

[3:53] supporters do.

[3:55] Correspondent Susan Spencer reports on

[3:57] what effect it's having on the Mondale

[3:58] campaign for big labor to put its PAC

[4:00] money where its mouth is.

[4:05] The unions of Pennsylvania may not have

[4:07] the muscle they once did, but they're

[4:08] using all they do have to help put

[4:10] Walter Mondale over the top.

[4:17] While Mondale can stick to the high

[4:19] road, I've been very careful in this

[4:21] campaign

[4:22] to keep this non-personal and deal with

[4:25] the facts. Labor's chief spokesman can

[4:28] get down and dirty, and in Pennsylvania,

[4:30] he has.

[4:32] So to Mr. Hart, we should say

[4:35] at long last, be your age.

[4:39] Peter Pan politics is passé.

[4:45] Beyond Kirkland's rhetoric, beyond

[4:47] [music] a big volunteer effort, labor

[4:49] has helped in Pennsylvania with cash,

[4:52] largely ignoring [music] Mondale's stand

[4:54] that his delegates should not take money

[4:56] from political action committees. A

[4:58] letter to that effect went out

[5:00] mid-January.

[5:01] Still, Mondale's delegates here have

[5:03] taken contributions from the United Mine

[5:05] Workers, the Food and Commercial

[5:07] Workers, Government Employees, Teachers,

[5:09] and the Ladies Garment Workers. In New

[5:11] York, Senator Hart, whose national

[5:13] campaign, like Mondale's, refuses all

[5:16] PAC money, made an issue out of these

[5:18] indirect contributions. That kind of

[5:20] manipulation of money through the back

[5:22] room is politics as usual and it's

[5:24] wrong.

[5:25] The ad prompted Mondale to repeat his

[5:28] calls for the money to stop, one call

[5:30] even going to Lane Kirkland.

[5:32] I I've sent word to everybody I can get

[5:34] my hands on that I don't want any PAC

[5:36] money.

[5:37] Though many unions now have stopped, the

[5:40] Food and Commercial Workers sent off 10

[5:41] grand only yesterday, saying nobody told

[5:44] them. But what if they had been told? I

[5:47] don't know whether it's up or not. No, I

[5:48] No, because I'm not giving the money to

[5:51] Walter Mondale. I'm giving the money to

[5:52] the people that I want to be delegates

[5:54] to that convention. Aware that these

[5:56] continuing contributions play directly

[5:58] [music] into Senator Hart's charges of

[6:00] big labor bossism, Mondale this week

[6:02] will contact all the unions represented

[6:04] in the AFL-CIO Executive Council and

[6:07] urge them to please stop giving money,

[6:10] saying that this could be viewed as a

[6:11] test of his leadership.

[6:13] Susan Spencer, CBS News, Pittsburgh. In

[6:16] the election year battle of the budget

[6:18] deficit and who's got the better plan to

[6:19] reduce it, Democrats got their budget

[6:21] blueprint approved today in the House. A

[6:24] so-called pay-as-you-go budget with

[6:25] spending increases paid for with tax

[6:28] increases. A budget blueprint

[6:30] Republicans said would reduce defense

[6:32] spending increases way too much. Some of

[6:34] the nation's biggest banks today raised

[6:36] their prime lending rate half a

[6:38] percentage point up to 12%. That's the

[6:41] highest for the basic business borrowing

[6:43] rate since October 1982. The move came

[6:46] just one day after Treasury Secretary

[6:48] Regan predicted that interest rates

[6:50] would soon peak and then decline by the

[6:52] end of the year. Wall Street analysts

[6:55] said that rise in the prime rate was a

[6:56] factor in the Dow Jones Industrial

[6:58] Average losing more than 18 points

[7:00] today, finishing at its lowest level in

[7:02] almost a year.

[7:09] >> [music]

[7:15] >> Miss Jane Russell. It takes confidence

[7:17] to face an audience. Luckily, we

[7:20] full-figure gals know what it takes to

[7:22] make a great appearance anytime we want

[7:24] to.

[7:25] We wear Playtex 18 Hour bras and 18 Hour

[7:28] girdles, the support and control we need

[7:31] plus the comfort we enjoy cuz the unique

[7:33] 18 Hour fabric stretches for real

[7:36] support, real control, real comfort.

[7:39] Playtex 18 Hour bras and girdles, all it

[7:42] takes to make a great appearance.

[7:45] If you've got a taste for white, [music]

[7:47] Almaden's got the taste for you.

[7:52] >> [music]

[7:54] [singing]

[7:57] [music]

[8:09] [music]

[8:17] >> There's been a lot of finger-pointing in

[8:18] Washington these past 24 hours. It

[8:20] involves President Reagan's defense of

[8:22] his policies on Lebanon and Central

[8:24] America. It began last night when,

[8:26] according to many on Capitol Hill, Mr.

[8:28] Reagan tried to make Congress the

[8:30] election year villain for his own

[8:32] foreign policy failures. Today, some of

[8:34] those the President blamed began to

[8:35] answer. Phil Jones reports.

[8:38] The Democratic politicians on Capitol

[8:40] Hill were on the warpath today, ready to

[8:43] do battle with the President over his

[8:44] suggestion last night that congressional

[8:46] debate had damaged peace efforts in

[8:48] Lebanon.

[8:49] All this can do

[8:51] is stimulate the terrorist

[8:54] and urge them on to further attacks. Now

[8:56] he has qualms of conscience because of

[8:58] the failure and because of the death of

[9:00] the Marines, and he's trying to pass the

[9:02] buck to somebody else, and he's wrong.

[9:04] While the President was feuding with

[9:05] Congress, Secretary of State Shultz was

[9:07] on the Hill trying to get Reagan's

[9:09] Central American policies funded in the

[9:10] House. But in the Senate, the President

[9:13] came out as a virtual winner today, the

[9:15] Senate giving final approval for about

[9:17] $62 million

[9:18] in emergency military aid for El

[9:20] Salvador. This was about 2/3 of what the

[9:23] President had wanted, but all efforts by

[9:25] Senator Kennedy and others to restrict

[9:27] use of these funds failed. There were

[9:30] differing opinions on the message that

[9:31] the Senate had sent in defeating all the

[9:33] restricting efforts.

[9:35] I think the message was that we

[9:37] uh see an emergency down there and we

[9:41] think the President is right in what

[9:42] he's been doing and we want to back up

[9:44] the President. It says a number of

[9:46] things. First of all, I think it's an

[9:47] election year and uh

[9:49] uh with all due respect, I think some

[9:51] people get frightened about being

[9:52] labeled as

[9:54] being the ones responsible for {quote}

[9:56] having lost El Salvador.

[9:58] In this election year, Ronald Reagan may

[10:00] be complaining about congressional

[10:02] meddling in foreign policy. However,

[10:04] Democrats claim that on all the major

[10:06] foreign policy issues over the last 3

[10:08] and 1/2 years, the president has

[10:10] received almost everything he requested.

[10:14] Phil Jones, CBS News, Capitol Hill. The

[10:17] Soviet Union was quick to condemn today,

[10:19] calling President Reagan's proposed

[10:20] worldwide ban on chemical weapons quote,

[10:22] a propaganda trick. Moscow said that the

[10:25] proposal is nothing more than a White

[10:26] House effort to cover up and justify its

[10:29] program for an accelerated build-up in

[10:32] its arsenal of chemical weapons. The

[10:34] Soviets, it appears, have quite an

[10:36] arsenal of their own. US intelligence

[10:37] sources tell Pentagon correspondent

[10:39] David Martin that there are at least

[10:41] seven biological warfare centers in the

[10:43] Soviet Union, six more than had been

[10:45] publicly known.

[10:47] President Reagan's policy reversal and

[10:49] retreat from Lebanon, together with the

[10:51] recent withdrawal of all Western

[10:53] military forces,

[10:54] left a superpower vacuum there, and an

[10:56] opportunity for the Soviets. Whether

[10:58] they can cash in on it, whether Syria

[11:00] will allow that, remains to be seen. But

[11:02] the Soviets, as Steve Kroft reports, are

[11:04] in Beirut now trying.

[11:07] For the first time in a year and a half,

[11:09] you could look out across the

[11:10] Mediterranean from the hills of Lebanon

[11:12] and see nothing but blue-green water.

[11:15] The Sixth Fleet, the last visible symbol

[11:17] of US power in the region, had finally

[11:19] dropped from sight, and a new diplomatic

[11:21] language could be heard in Beirut. The

[11:23] Russians were here, and their timing

[11:25] seemed hardly coincidental. It was only

[11:28] a low-level delegation from the

[11:29] Communist Party Central Committee, but

[11:31] its members were greeted like heads of

[11:33] state. The Soviet envoy said that he had

[11:35] reassured President Amin Gemayel of the

[11:38] unchanging Soviet support for Lebanon.

[11:41] The story was all over Lebanese radio

[11:43] and television. Russians being warmly

[11:45] received by factional leaders. There was

[11:47] even an audience with President Gemayel.

[11:49] It was all exploratory, tentative, and

[11:52] perhaps, given the rise of Syrian

[11:53] influence here, inevitable. Is this a

[11:56] sign of Russia gaining, the Soviets

[11:58] gaining grounds, more grounds without

[12:00] lifting a finger? Saeb Salam, a former

[12:03] prime minister, was one of the people to

[12:05] meet with the delegation. Like most Arab

[12:07] leaders, he has no great affection for

[12:09] the Russians, but even less faith in US

[12:11] foreign policy, which is perceived here

[12:13] as blind obedience to Israeli interests.

[12:16] Do you think the United States is

[12:17] keeping a pretty low profile?

[12:20] Low? Absent, almost. Absent.

[12:23] US Ambassador Reginald Bartholomew,

[12:26] shown here at a diplomatic reception in

[12:28] January, has disappeared from public

[12:30] life. This is about as close as you can

[12:32] get to him these days. He travels by

[12:34] helicopter and speeding car to and from

[12:37] the heavily fortified embassy compound.

[12:39] It is home now for US diplomats. They

[12:42] leave only with a driver and bodyguard.

[12:44] For the record, the embassy says US

[12:46] officials continue to work with

[12:47] political leaders here towards a

[12:48] peaceful and independent Lebanon. But as

[12:51] one embassy employee put it off the

[12:52] record, "I'm afraid we've ended up just

[12:54] like the Marines, dug in and not much

[12:57] use to anyone."

[12:58] Steve Kroft, CBS News, Beirut.

[13:01] In the past half year, there has been an

[13:03] unusually high number of terrorist

[13:05] attacks against Westerners all over the

[13:06] world. Secretary of State Shultz this

[13:08] week called it a form of warfare,

[13:11] state-sponsored terrorism by just a

[13:13] handful of countries, among them Iran.

[13:16] Bill McLaughlin has been looking into

[13:17] this.

[13:19] CBS News has learned that US

[13:20] intelligence believes Iranian student

[13:22] groups are being used to commit acts of

[13:24] terror around the world. Intelligence

[13:26] say unusual movements by Iranian

[13:28] students abroad during the past several

[13:30] days may indicate they are positioning

[13:32] for further attacks. The students are

[13:34] said to be controlled by Iran's

[13:36] Ayatollah Khomeini and other religious

[13:37] leaders who are using them to do what

[13:39] they believe is God's work, the

[13:41] assassination of Western diplomats and

[13:43] government officials, especially

[13:44] Americans. It's believed there are more

[13:46] than 25,000 Iranian students in the

[13:48] United States, and many are

[13:50] anti-American. The US is closely

[13:52] monitoring their activities, but so far

[13:54] no terrorist link has been uncovered.

[13:56] The trail of Iranian student terrorism

[13:58] goes back at least as far as the

[14:00] murderous bombing of the US Marine

[14:02] barracks in Beirut last October that

[14:04] took 241 American lives. The trail picks

[14:07] up again in the Indonesian capital,

[14:08] Jakarta. Last month, the British,

[14:10] French, US, and other embassies there

[14:12] received anonymous threats against their

[14:14] diplomats worldwide.

[14:16] Shortly after those threats were made,

[14:17] the terrorists struck in three different

[14:19] cities. In Beirut, a French diplomat was

[14:21] critically wounded. In Athens, a British

[14:23] diplomat was murdered. In Strasbourg,

[14:26] France, an American diplomat was shot in

[14:27] the head and narrowly escaped death.

[14:29] This past Tuesday, again in Athens, a US

[14:32] Army Master Sergeant was wounded.

[14:35] What to do about this new kind of

[14:36] warfare is a question being debated at

[14:38] the highest levels of the Reagan

[14:40] administration. If you know

[14:42] that a truck loaded with dynamite is

[14:44] roaring down the road

[14:46] towards a building you occupy,

[14:48] is your position such, must it be, that

[14:51] you have to wait until that truck hits

[14:52] the building and blows you up?

[14:55] Or are you able to take that truck out

[14:57] before it before it reaches you? There

[14:59] is now a deep urge within the Reagan

[15:01] administration to make Iran pay for its

[15:03] terrorism, not to settle old scores, but

[15:05] to make terrorism so costly and so

[15:07] painful that Iran will have to abandon

[15:09] it as a tactic. Bill McLaughlin, CBS

[15:11] News, the State Department.

[15:21] Thanks to new technology, mobile

[15:23] telephoning has just taken a giant step

[15:26] forward. It will soon be available to

[15:28] just about everybody, just about

[15:30] everywhere. And there'll be no more

[15:32] waiting for an operator to place your

[15:34] call. You just direct dial it yourself.

[15:37] Also, you'll eventually be able to

[15:38] transmit not only voice, but any

[15:41] communications that can be carried over

[15:43] telephone lines.

[15:45] G

[15:46] No, GTE.

[15:52] Do you remember polio? Summers when it

[15:54] swept this country,

[15:56] there seemed to be no reason for hope.

[15:58] But hope came, and Eli Lilly and Company

[16:01] took a leading [music] role in testing

[16:02] and then producing vaccines that have

[16:04] almost put an end to polio. The diseases

[16:06] we face today are no less terrible,

[16:09] cancer, diabetes, [music] heart disease,

[16:11] but they can be overcome. They can be

[16:13] made, like polio, no more than a painful

[16:15] memory. At [music] Lilly, we won't be

[16:18] satisfied till then.

[16:22] Executions in Florida and Louisiana

[16:24] today mark the first time two inmates

[16:26] have been put to death on the same day

[16:28] since the Supreme Court reinstated the

[16:30] death penalty in 1976.

[16:32] In Starke, Florida, child killer Arthur

[16:34] F. Goode III was electrocuted this

[16:36] morning. The 30-year-old Goode, whose IQ

[16:39] was in the low 60s, said yesterday he

[16:41] would kill boys again if freed. But he

[16:43] expressed remorse today, saying, "I

[16:46] apologize to my parents." In Angola,

[16:48] Louisiana, just 6 hours earlier, Elmo

[16:51] Patrick Sonnier died in the electric

[16:53] chair for the 1977 murders of two

[16:55] teenagers. The fathers of both victims

[16:58] witnessed the execution. Sonnier looked

[17:00] at one of the fathers and said, "I have

[17:02] to ask your forgiveness." The father

[17:04] nodded once and said, "Yes."

[17:07] A Justice Department official said not

[17:08] long ago, "Something's going on out

[17:10] there. It's an epidemic." He was

[17:12] speaking of so-called serial murderers,

[17:15] killers who strike again and again,

[17:17] choosing strangers as victims. Today,

[17:19] Rita Braver reports the FBI launched a

[17:22] nationwide search for a man they believe

[17:24] may belong to that deadly breed.

[17:27] Christopher Bernard Wilder is now one of

[17:29] the 10 most wanted criminals in America.

[17:32] The wealthy owner of two Florida

[17:33] businesses, the race car driver who

[17:35] placed 17th in the Miami Grand Prix last

[17:38] month, is now a suspect in the murder of

[17:40] Terri Diane Walden of Beaumont, Texas.

[17:43] Her body was discovered last week.

[17:45] Wilder is now being linked to murders,

[17:47] disappearances, and kidnappings of seven

[17:49] young women in four states, and

[17:51] kidnappings of two young women in his

[17:53] native Australia. Officials say there

[17:55] could be more. The FBI says Wilder

[17:57] usually seeks out his victims in

[17:58] shopping centers.

[18:00] An attractive young female, many times

[18:03] who is an aspiring model or a model, is

[18:06] approached,

[18:08] is offered an opportunity to

[18:11] model for

[18:13] Wilder, who claims to be a photographer

[18:14] and in fact has experience as a

[18:16] photographer,

[18:17] and thereafter,

[18:19] the females end up missing.

[18:22] The FBI believes Wilder may be a classic

[18:24] example of criminals that law

[18:26] enforcement officials have only recently

[18:28] come to understand, serial murderers,

[18:31] repeat killers with a compulsion to

[18:33] execute victim after victim. In the last

[18:36] few years, so many bizarre murders

[18:38] around the country seem to be linked to

[18:39] each other that the FBI has started

[18:41] studying videotapes of crime scenes, as

[18:44] well as still photographs and autopsy

[18:46] reports. It appears that she was she was

[18:48] brought to this area killed at that

[18:50] location. Federal officials now believe

[18:52] there could be dozens, even hundreds, of

[18:54] such killers on the loose in the United

[18:56] States. And most of them are bright,

[18:59] intelligent, articulate people, people

[19:01] with good intelligence, and

[19:02] the crimes that they commit

[19:05] in themselves speak of their

[19:07] ability to plan and premeditate crime,

[19:09] and So far, the biggest problem has been

[19:12] the police in one area may not know

[19:13] about a similar crime in another place.

[19:16] Now, the Justice Department has begun to

[19:17] set up a $3 million computerized program

[19:20] to coordinate information. In fact, in

[19:22] the Wilder case, there's more

[19:24] information than usual, his name. He was

[19:26] identified by a victim who managed to

[19:28] escape from this Florida motel room

[19:30] after she'd been raped and tortured. The

[19:33] ultimate goal in this case, and hundreds

[19:35] of others the FBI is pursuing, is to

[19:37] catch the killer before the list of

[19:39] victims gets any longer. Rita Braver,

[24:25] The clocks are at 1 minute before 5:00.

[24:27] The scene is a 19-room underground

[24:30] bunker in London, the war cabinet

[24:32] headquarters of Winston Churchill. It is

[24:34] a time warp.

[24:35] Tom Fenton explains.

[24:37] Hidden beneath the gracious gardens and

[24:39] stately government buildings of

[24:41] Whitehall is a subterranean world where

[24:43] time has stood still since World War II.

[24:47] From 1939 through the terrible nights of

[24:50] the London Blitz until victory in 1945,

[24:53] Prime Minister Winston Churchill ran the

[24:56] war from these secret rooms.

[24:58] It was a world of work, of maps and

[25:00] telephones. All of the necessities of

[25:03] war, few of the necessities of life.

[25:06] And we had to put our mattresses on the

[25:08] floor beside the typewriters. We'd no

[25:10] proper beds.

[25:12] And we said, rather lightheartedly,

[25:15] "This is disgraceful. If Churchill came,

[25:17] we'd tell him so." And the next night,

[25:20] he suddenly appeared.

[25:22] And he said, "Well, my dears,

[25:25] are you all happy?" And of course, we

[25:27] all fell about saying, "Oh, yes, Mr.

[25:30] Churchill. We're very [laughter] happy."

[25:32] In a cupboard disguised as a lavatory,

[25:35] Churchill talked with President

[25:36] Roosevelt on the first transatlantic

[25:38] telephone.

[25:40] From here, Churchill broadcast ringing

[25:43] words of encouragement to his people.

[25:45] In the past,

[25:48] we had a light which flickered.

[25:51] In the present,

[25:53] we have a light

[25:55] which flames.

[25:57] And in the future,

[25:59] there will be a light

[26:01] which will shine

[26:03] calm and resplendent.

[26:06] The thousands who stopped to gaze at

[26:08] Churchill's statue in Whitehall can now

[26:10] wander these hidden corridors in search

[26:12] of a little more of Winston Spencer

[26:15] Churchill.

[26:16] An 8-year-old schoolboy named Jack

[26:19] Churchill, great-grandson of the legend,

[26:21] came to look and wonder at the great

[26:23] man's seat of power. It did not yet

[26:26] quite fit.

[26:32] And that's the CBS Evening News for this

[26:34] Thursday. Dan Rather reporting from New

[26:36] York. Thank you for joining us.

[26:38] Good night.

[26:42] I like things that last. This old car

[26:44] runs like a watch. My house is over 96

[26:47] years old. Been married to Enid 23

[26:50] years. Here's the first [music] new

[26:51] thing I bought in 8 years. Nine. It's a

[26:54] Honda lawnmower. Overhead valve design,

[26:57] real durable. I bought it cuz it'll

[26:59] last. Like my dog, 12 years old. Known

[27:02] Fred forever. This shirt belonged to my

[27:04] dad. The Honda lawnmower. [music] It

[27:06] could be the last lawnmower you ever

[27:09] buy.

[27:12] How much faster can one antacid be than

[27:14] another? Three times? Four times? 10

[27:17] times? Now, meet stronger formula Riopan

[27:20] Plus. Sodium free. Made to neutralize

[27:22] more acid. In laboratory tests, it

[27:25] starts to neutralize acid in seconds, 10

[27:27] times faster than the two leading

[27:28] liquids. 10 times faster. It's

[27:31] long-lasting. And Riopan Plus is sodium

[27:34] free. No wonder it's doctor recommended.

[27:36] Neutralizes more acid. In lab tests,

[27:38] works faster. Long-lasting Riopan Plus.

[27:42] To the millions who use paint remover on

[27:44] varnished furniture, I have some advice.

[27:46] Stop immediately.

[27:47] >> But I've always used it.

[27:49] >> Use Formby's furniture refinisher. Some

[27:51] paint removers raise the grain and strip

[27:53] the wood's beauty, and it's hard work.

[27:55] Formby's easily dissolves old varnish,

[27:57] lacquer, and shellac. No sanding, no

[27:59] scraping. With Formby's furniture

[28:01] refinisher, the wood's beauty actually

[28:03] reappears. Homer Formby. No one knows

[28:06] wood as good. Get started now with a

[28:08] $1.50 rebate on specially marked Formby
