[0:03] This is NBC Nightly News with David

[0:06] Brinkley who was on vacation, John

[0:08] Chancellor in New York, and tonight's

[0:09] special segment, Chapa Quitic, 10 years

[0:12] later.

[0:13] >> Good evening. The country and the world

[0:15] watched the White House today for signs

[0:16] of President Carter's shakeup of his

[0:18] cabinet and his staff. And there was one

[0:21] concrete signal this afternoon when it

[0:23] was announced that Hamilton Jordan had

[0:25] been named the chief of staff at the

[0:27] White House. Jordan is 34 years old and

[0:29] has been at Jimmy Carter's side for

[0:31] years. We know about his new job, but

[0:33] there's no word yet on other people who

[0:35] are about to lose theirs. Here's John

[0:37] Dancy.

[0:39] When Hamilton Jordan came to the White

[0:41] House, fresh from the presidential

[0:43] campaign, he wore jeans and an open

[0:45] shirt. His style was unconventional, and

[0:47] he was involved in several celebrated

[0:49] incidents that titilated Washington

[0:51] gossip columnists. But today, he wears

[0:54] dark suits and conservative ties. The

[0:56] change symbolic of his growing

[0:58] authority. Mr. Carter has told senior

[1:00] staff members they should no longer

[1:01] consider Jordan their peer, but should

[1:03] act on his decisions as if they were the

[1:06] president's own. Meanwhile, no decisions

[1:08] have been announced yet on cabinet or

[1:10] staff resignations. It's known that

[1:13] Defense Secretary Harold Brown, National

[1:16] Security Adviser Ziggy Bjinski, and

[1:18] Secretary of State Vance are safe. Still

[1:21] in doubt are the futures of Treasury

[1:23] Secretary Michael Blumenthal, HW

[1:25] Secretary Joseph Calfano, and

[1:27] Transportation Secretary Brock Adams. On

[1:30] Capitol Hill, influential Senator Henry

[1:32] Jackson criticized Mr. Carter's decision

[1:35] to consider the resignation of cabinet

[1:37] members and senior staff aids.

[1:39] >> I think uh he created a lack of

[1:41] confidence in his ability to make

[1:43] decisions on the management side. What

[1:46] the country wants now is action. This is

[1:49] inaction. But Ambassador Robert Strauss,

[1:52] one of those who offered his resignation

[1:53] from his cabinet level post, defended

[1:55] the president

[1:56] >> every day. There's nothing disorganized.

[1:59] There is no disorder. There's none of

[2:01] the old former Saturday night massacres

[2:03] or this sort of thing. He's going about

[2:04] an orderly process.

[2:06] >> It's now been 7 weeks since President

[2:08] Carter held his last news conference.

[2:10] White House press secretary Jodie Powell

[2:11] pleads the special circumstances of

[2:13] those seven weeks. But Powell also

[2:15] disclosed today that the administration

[2:17] is re-evaluating the way it communicates

[2:19] with the American people. Powell says

[2:21] there is no desire to isolate the

[2:23] president. But Mr. Carter is known to be

[2:25] irritated with the press and it's

[2:27] believed the administration is looking

[2:29] for ways to bypass the Washington press

[2:31] wherever possible. John Dansley, NBC

[2:34] News, the White House. Our latest NBC

[2:37] News Associated Press poll shows that

[2:39] despite the president's speech last

[2:41] Sunday night, his standing with the

[2:42] 1,500 Americans we sampled this week

[2:45] hasn't changed. The judgment on Mr.

[2:47] Carter's overall job rating was just

[2:49] about where it was when we last pulled

[2:51] in April. Good marks from 26%.

[2:55] He gets a lower approval rating on his

[2:57] handling of the economy, a very low 15%

[3:01] say good. There has been some change in

[3:04] the last 3 months on the question of the

[3:05] gasoline shortage. More people, 35% now

[3:09] believe it's a real shortage, but 58% of

[3:12] our telephone sample still believes the

[3:14] gasoline shortage is a hoax. And this

[3:16] overall lack of support for the

[3:18] president is reflected in the Senate. On

[3:20] Monday, senators were saying that the

[3:22] president's energy proposals would be

[3:23] approved quickly. Today, they're saying

[3:25] something else. Tom Pettit reports.

[3:28] The president's energy program will not

[3:30] go through the Senate before the Senate

[3:32] goes on vacation August 3rd. Standby gas

[3:35] rationing may be approved by then, but

[3:37] the crucial windfall profits taxes in

[3:39] limbo. And so is everything else. Energy

[3:42] Secretary Schlesinger and Presidential

[3:44] Assistant Eisenstat, both still on the

[3:46] job, found new Senate delays that

[3:49] emerged today. Finance Committee

[3:51] Chairman Long is still wrestling with

[3:52] the windfall profits tax projected by

[3:55] the House to net $40 billion over 5

[3:57] years. Musky of the budget committee

[4:00] wants to know if that tax would pay for

[4:02] everything the president wants and what

[4:04] various plans would cost. So Musky named

[4:06] Heart of Colorado chairman of a five

[4:08] senator task force to determine the

[4:10] costs of synthetic fuels and of private

[4:13] versus public corporations. We're going

[4:15] to make decisions in the Congress in the

[4:17] next few weeks, the next few months that

[4:20] will not only affect a lot of dollars, a

[4:22] lot of dollars, but as I've indicated,

[4:25] the structure and course of our economy

[4:27] and the lives of all Americans, I think

[4:28] we can wait 3 weeks extra. HART's task

[4:32] force was given all of August to do its

[4:34] work, and that means no energy bill till

[4:36] after Labor Day at the earliest. Energy

[4:39] Committee Chairman Jackson, who on

[4:40] Monday had said everything could be done

[4:42] by August 3rd, now is predicting

[4:44] midepptember after vacation. Tom Pett,

[4:48] NBC News at the capital.

[4:50] Some people in Europe today were

[4:52] comparing the mass resignations offered

[4:54] but not yet accepted by President

[4:56] Carter's cabinet to the Saturday night

[4:58] massacre in the Nixon administration.

[4:59] The present situation, of course, bears

[5:01] no real resemblance to that. But the

[5:03] general foreign uncertainty about what

[5:05] Mr. Carter is up to drove down the value

[5:08] of the dollar today and pushed the value

[5:10] of gold past an important psychological

[5:12] mark. An ounce of gold today sold for

[5:15] $31

[5:17] on the Zurich market, the highest price

[5:19] ever paid. Steve Mallalerie has more

[5:21] from London.

[5:22] >> United States's energy policies drove

[5:24] the price to record levels.

[5:26] >> If the uh status quo had been the same

[5:30] today, then I would have doubted if we'

[5:32] been above 300. But uh the the actions

[5:35] in Washington have had just given the

[5:38] final impetus with price rise today.

[5:42] >> Dealers said that speculators are

[5:43] evaluating the developments in

[5:45] Washington. That when they've had time

[5:47] to think about the situation, pressure

[5:49] on gold will level off, that prices will

[5:52] settle around the $300 level.

[5:55] Despite the record high prices today,

[5:57] business continued as usual on the

[5:59] smaller gold markets. The average family

[6:02] investor using gold as a hedge against

[6:04] inflation was buying gold coins. That

[6:07] generally means the Krueger rand a coin

[6:10] minted in South Africa which is traded

[6:12] internationally.

[6:13] >> Why do you buy the Krueger? Are they for

[6:15] uh clients of yours or for your own

[6:16] personal buyer for clients of mine?

[6:19] Because they simply uh do not believe in

[6:21] uh paper money.

[6:23] >> Like the bullion dealers, these traders

[6:25] make a profit. This coin 1 ounce of pure

[6:28] gold. Today's price, $312.

[6:32] And even at that price, there were

[6:34] takers. Steve Mallerie, NBC News,

[6:37] London.

[6:51] We are super critical on that line.

[6:53] We'll knock down engines for a bad paint

[6:54] job, and that's no event. Quality

[6:57] control is the most important aspect of

[6:59] the whole business.

[7:00] >> James Rock, quality control inspector.

[7:03] This is who we are and what we do at

[7:05] General Motors.

[7:06] >> If the customer has problems with that

[7:07] car, then we got problems because he's

[7:09] not going to be a General Motors

[7:11] customer again. We have uh nine

[7:13] inspection stations. I go around to

[7:15] critical points on the line to ensure

[7:17] that they're doing the job right. I run

[7:19] hot tests. You can listen to that engine

[7:21] and you can say, "Well, this one's a

[7:23] good one or this one's a bad one." It's

[7:25] a good feeling. It's uh little feeling

[7:28] of power. There's nobody going to

[7:29] overrule you. But we want to ensure that

[7:31] by the time that it's shipped to the uh

[7:33] assembly divisions that that engine does

[7:36] function in the way that it's designed

[7:39] to function. I feel personally

[7:41] responsible for that car. I know it's a

[7:42] good car. I know we we build it and we

[7:45] build it right.

[7:45] >> General Motors, people building

[7:47] transportation to serve people.

[7:50] >> Francisco is still, as far as we know,

[7:53] the acting president of Nicaragua. But

[7:55] there is considerable uncertainty about

[7:57] what's going on there. Reports were

[7:59] circulating this afternoon that the

[8:01] National Guard had surrendered to the

[8:02] Sandinista guerillas. But we talked to

[8:04] our correspondent in Managa and he said

[8:06] the National Guard there was still armed

[8:08] to the teeth. The United States did

[8:11] recall its ambassador to Nicaragua,

[8:13] Lawrence Pizulo, and Richard Valyriani

[8:15] has the reasons for that.

[8:17] >> The American ambassador was pulled out

[8:18] of Monagua to make it absolutely clear

[8:20] to the interim government that it could

[8:22] not expect any help whatsoever from the

[8:24] United States.

[8:25] Officials here thought it was necessary

[8:27] to dramatize that point because they say

[8:30] Samosa lied to some of his associates in

[8:32] Nicaragua before he left, telling them

[8:34] that once he was gone, the United States

[8:36] would jump in and help them. Meanwhile,

[8:40] Deputy Secretary of State Warren

[8:41] Christopher called Samosa in Miami this

[8:43] morning to urge him to persuade his

[8:45] followers in Nicaragua to go along with

[8:47] the transfer of power as planned.

[8:50] Sources here said Christopher pointedly

[8:52] reminded Samosa that his presence in the

[8:54] United States and the transition in

[8:56] Nicaragua were part of the same package

[8:58] and that if one part of the package were

[9:00] not carried out then other parts might

[9:02] not be carried out as well. The

[9:04] implication was that Samosa might not be

[9:06] permitted to stay in this country. The

[9:09] sources said Samosa got the message.

[9:12] Richard Valerani, NBC News at the State

[9:15] Department.

[9:17] Nicaragua National Guard officers are

[9:19] reported to have escaped from Managua,

[9:21] the capital city, using at least five

[9:23] commandeered airplanes. American

[9:25] officials in Florida said one plane had

[9:27] landed in Miami. Others may have gone to

[9:30] Guatemala. In Managa, Ike Seamans

[9:32] reports on the situation there after

[9:34] those guard officers slipped away.

[9:36] Inside, the presidential comp put down

[9:38] their gun. We control the country, he

[9:41] said, and we can take any time.

[9:44] There have been reports that fighting

[9:46] continues in the countryside between

[9:48] Sandinista gorillas and National Guard

[9:50] troops. All that seemed to end today

[9:53] outside Leon. More than 20 government

[9:55] soldiers were killed in a 5-hour

[9:57] firefight nearby. Other guardsmen

[10:00] stopped fight.

[10:02] India's former foreign minister

[10:04] Yashantrad Shavan has been asked to form

[10:06] a new government to replace the one

[10:08] which fell apart in India last Sunday.

[10:10] That was when Prime Minister Maraji

[10:12] Desai resigned. There Siobhan has been

[10:15] given four days to put together a new

[10:17] government in New Delhi and there is

[10:18] some uncertainty about his chances for

[10:20] success.

[10:30] >> Is that Steve Cawan giving orange juice

[10:32] a workout?

[10:33] >> Sure is. Orange juice takes care of my

[10:35] thirst every time. It isn't just for

[10:37] breakfast anymore.

[10:39] Is that Roberta Peters about to have

[10:42] orange juice at a dress rehearsal?

[10:44] >> Of course. It's refreshing, soothing,

[10:45] and it isn't just for breakfast anymore.

[10:47] >> Look for 100% pure orange juice from

[10:50] Florida. Orange juice with a hot dog.

[10:53] >> With anything.

[10:54] >> Orange juice from Florida. It isn't just

[10:57] for breakfast anymore.

[11:01] >> Sesame. Sesame down the track. A new

[11:05] snack. Sesame wheat snack crackers from

[11:09] Nabiscoco.

[11:10] >> New sesame wheat. Snack crackers.

[11:13] >> A deliciously light snack cracker treat

[11:16] baked with real sesame and wholesome

[11:18] whole wheat. All aboard for the new

[11:21] wholesome snack.

[11:22] >> Sesame snack crackers

[11:25] >> from the biso.

[11:29] >> Would anyone tell you if you had denture

[11:31] odor?

[11:31] >> I couldn't tell anyone. It would be too

[11:34] embarrassing. No, I wouldn't tell. Most

[11:37] people would never tell you if you had

[11:38] denture odor. That's why cleaning your

[11:41] dentures with Polyent is so important

[11:43] because Polyadin has the strength to

[11:45] help power clean away the film that can

[11:46] cause denture odor to leave dentures

[11:49] fresh and clean so you can stay close.

[11:51] Try power cleaning Padent because the

[11:54] cleaner the dentures, the closer you can

[11:56] get.

[11:59] 10 years ago tonight, a lot of Americans

[12:01] had never heard of Chapaquitic Island,

[12:03] which lies just across from the island

[12:04] of Martha's Vineyard off Cape Cod. But

[12:07] 10 years ago tomorrow, most people knew

[12:09] that Senator Edward Kennedy had driven

[12:11] off a bridge on Chapaquitic Island, and

[12:12] that a girl named Mary Joe Cape had

[12:15] drowned in the car. This is the 10th

[12:17] anniversary of that accident, and

[12:18] Kennedy has decided that it's time to

[12:20] talk about it. Our special segment is

[12:22] reported by John Hart.

[12:26] Sometime around midnight, Senator

[12:27] Kennedy left a party at this cottage

[12:29] together with Mary Joe Copeknne. About 9

[12:32] hours later, Mary Joe's body was found

[12:35] in Kennedy's car in the water off a

[12:37] bridge at Chapaquitic and the car pulled

[12:40] out of the water. About an hour after

[12:42] that, Kennedy told the police chief he

[12:45] had been driving when the car went off

[12:47] the bridge, a wait of 9 to 10 hours

[12:50] before notifying authorities.

[12:53] One week later, he appeared on

[12:54] television to read a statement prepared

[12:56] with the assistance of former speech

[12:58] writers and advisers to the late

[13:00] President Kennedy.

[13:02] >> This morning, I entered a plea of guilty

[13:03] to the charge of leaving the scene of an

[13:05] accident,

[13:06] >> for which he received a two-month

[13:08] suspended jail sentence, a year's

[13:10] probation, and a year's loss of driver's

[13:12] license. The legal questions were

[13:15] settled early. The public questions

[13:17] remain, and since that time, his answers

[13:20] have been the same.

[13:21] I regard as indefensible

[13:25] the fact that I did not report the

[13:27] accident to the police immediately.

[13:31] >> 6 months later, there was an inquest

[13:33] closed to the public at Kennedy's

[13:35] request. The judge did not believe parts

[13:38] of the senator's testimony. Mary Joe's

[13:40] parents said recently they still don't

[13:42] feel they know all the facts of how she

[13:45] died, even after their personal meetings

[13:47] with Kennedy. talking about it today.

[13:50] Kennedy could not satisfy himself. I can

[13:53] re remember the

[13:56] leaving the side of the um uh of uh of

[14:02] Chapa Quitic and swimming back to

[14:05] Edgatan

[14:07] and having every intention of reporting

[14:09] that accident

[14:11] and getting into the current and having

[14:12] the second sensation of drowning, of

[14:16] complete exhaustion, of believing that I

[14:18] was going to to to drown again.

[14:22] and coming up on the on the shore on the

[14:26] opposite side

[14:28] and saying, "I just cannot at this time

[14:33] go and call up the Capec family and tell

[14:37] about the death of their daughter."

[14:41] >> That time she was dead by the time you

[14:43] come across.

[14:43] >> Yes, I did.

[14:45] >> Now I I can look back and say I should

[14:48] have done it. I wish I had done it. I

[14:51] believe I should have done that

[14:54] but I didn't do that and I can describe

[14:57] what I was thinking in the sense that I

[14:59] felt at that particular moment

[15:03] and we can say under other circumstances

[15:05] other people might have done the other

[15:07] but that's why I've assumed the complete

[15:09] kind of responsibility

[15:12] and that's why uh uh some of these

[15:15] actions don't fall into the neat kind of

[15:17] compartments that that uh lend

[15:20] themselves to a

[15:23] a mathematical type of or scientific

[15:26] type of formula for that uh that

[15:28] evening.

[15:29] >> That evening is remembered by and still

[15:31] bothers millions of Americans. An NBC

[15:34] News Associated Press poll taken Monday

[15:36] and yesterday showed 78% answering they

[15:40] remembered Chapitic. Among those who

[15:42] remembered, 38% said Chapquitic lowered

[15:45] their opinion of Kennedy's presidential

[15:47] qualifications.

[15:49] For a majority, it had no effect on

[15:51] their opinions. Kennedy argues that his

[15:54] failure to act at Chapaquitic was the

[15:56] result of physical and personal

[15:58] emotional shocks which would not be

[15:59] present in the Oval Office during

[16:01] national crisis.

[16:03] >> You want to be president, don't you? Not

[16:06] at um at this time. I welcome the

[16:09] opportunity for my work in the Senate.

[16:12] I'm challenged by it. Enjoy it.

[16:16] >> Not in 1980. Um, I'd say for the

[16:20] foreseeable future in politics, I've

[16:22] learned that you can only look forward

[16:24] to u few years at a time. Usually in the

[16:29] Senate, it's 6 years at a time. But for

[16:32] the foreseeable future, I see my future

[16:34] here in the United States Senate.

[16:36] >> Which is not quite the same as saying no

[16:39] to 1980. John Hart, NBC News,

[16:42] Washington.

[16:51] Put in

[16:53] washers out. Forget about those washers

[16:57] you used to worry about.

[17:00] Once you learn

[17:01] >> Once you learn

[17:02] >> Delta's name Delta,

[17:04] >> you won't have to worry. No washers

[17:07] again.

[17:09] Delta faucets, the name you can trust

[17:12] for worryfree faucets. Ask your plumber

[17:14] for us.

[17:16] >> Delta and Del X faucets. No washers, no

[17:18] washer worries.

[17:23] >> One of our most important dances was in

[17:25] celebration for the bountiful goodness

[17:27] of maze, what you call corn. Today, Maza

[17:32] margarine knows all about the goodness

[17:33] of corn. Misola margarine is made from

[17:36] corn oil goodness. So, Maza margarine

[17:38] has no cholesterol naturally. And misala

[17:42] tastes fresh and delicious naturally.

[17:46] Remember misa margarine. It gets

[17:48] goodness from maze.

[17:53] Often a homeowner's policy is the first

[17:55] insurance a married couple buys

[17:57] together. So we make it a point to

[17:59] explain all the State Farm coverages in

[18:00] terms they understand. We want people to

[18:03] move into the new home knowing they've

[18:04] got the right protection, that it's a

[18:06] good value, and that we're there to make

[18:08] sure they get good service.

[18:11] And like a good neighbor,

[18:14] State Farm is there.

[18:17] >> That's homeowners insurance the State

[18:19] Farm way.

[18:21] >> Secretary of Defense Harold Brown

[18:23] admitted today in Senate testimony that

[18:25] the SALT 2 treaty would actually permit

[18:27] the Soviet Union to deploy a number of

[18:29] new kinds of missiles, more than the one

[18:32] new type they are specifically allowed

[18:34] under the treaty. The administration had

[18:36] been emphasizing the provision for only

[18:38] one new type for each side, but Brown

[18:40] conceded today that several could be

[18:42] built. However, he says he doesn't think

[18:44] the Soviets will deploy a series of new

[18:46] missiles and that they wouldn't change

[18:48] the military balance if they were

[18:49] deployed. And the Defense Department has

[18:52] a new idea on how to deploy the new

[18:54] American missile, the MX. Bob Jameson

[18:56] has the details on that.

[18:59] The Pentagon and White House thought

[19:01] they had a plan for the MX missile which

[19:03] would satisfy everybody. A plan which

[19:05] would keep it hidden from the Soviets at

[19:07] crucial moments, yet open enough to be

[19:09] verified under Salt 2. The plan called

[19:12] for digging 4500 silos in an area

[19:14] roughly the size of New Jersey. Since

[19:16] there will be only 200 MX missiles,

[19:18] trucks would shuttle them from silo to

[19:20] silo like a giant shell game, leaving

[19:23] the Soviets to guess which of the 4,500

[19:25] silos held the 200 missiles. But the

[19:28] plan was rejected when US intelligence

[19:30] said that if the Soviets built a similar

[19:32] system, we would be unable to verify the

[19:34] number of missiles involved. So the

[19:36] Pentagon came up with another plan. A

[19:38] system of 40 silos connected by 120 mi

[19:41] of trenches with the missiles carried

[19:43] over railroad tracks. But Western

[19:45] governors opposed that plan because it

[19:47] used too much land. So the Pentagon has

[19:49] a new scheme which it hopes will satisfy

[19:52] everybody. It would use less land on

[19:54] which would be built a series of

[19:55] racetrack-like roadways. Those would be

[19:58] dotted with cement shelters. The

[20:00] missiles and their launchers would be

[20:01] inside closed trailers which would move

[20:03] along the track from shelter to shelter

[20:05] in an irregular pattern. But the

[20:07] Pentagon says the Soviets could not tell

[20:09] whether a missile was in a particular

[20:11] shelter ready for launch or still in its

[20:13] trailer. Planners say the idea is spy

[20:15] proof and they say the whole thing would

[20:17] be open to the public. Their idea to

[20:19] further dampen the governor's objections

[20:21] is to let the public use the racetrack

[20:23] area for camping and other recreation.

[20:26] President Carter hasn't reacted

[20:28] officially to this latest plan, but he

[20:30] is expected to decide where and how to

[20:32] base the MX missile around August 1st.

[20:37] On Monday, President Carter said the

[20:39] Justice and Energy departments were

[20:41] investigating the oil companies to see

[20:43] if they deliberately created the

[20:44] gasoline shortages to increase profits.

[20:47] The Associated Press reports today that

[20:49] the investigation is finished and that

[20:51] it shows no evidence that the oil

[20:52] companies did this. The report does say

[20:55] the companies may have held too much oil

[20:56] out of production, but there is no

[20:58] evidence of deliberate actions to create

[21:00] a shortage. In New York City this

[21:02] summer, the taxi drivers have been

[21:04] having trouble getting gas and

[21:05] complaining bitterly that they're going

[21:07] broke paying for it. And today, about

[21:09] 2,000 of them blocked traffic at every

[21:11] entrance to Manhattan Island, causing a

[21:14] memorable traffic jam. The city had

[21:16] allowed them a 15 cent fair increase,

[21:18] but the cabbie said it wasn't enough to

[21:20] cover the higher costs of gas.

[21:24] >> A couple of months ago, we had the story

[21:26] of a remarkable operation in which

[21:28] doctors separated Siamese twins who were

[21:30] b born joined at the head. The operation

[21:33] took hours, but it ended with a

[21:35] successful separation. Here's a progress

[21:37] report on the twins who are now able to

[21:39] wear little hats from Michael Rosson of

[21:41] station KUTV in Salt Lake City.

[21:47] This is Lisa and Elisa Hansen one year

[21:49] ago. They shared brain tissue. Doctors

[21:51] held little hope for a successful

[21:53] separation, but the parents of the

[21:55] Siamese twins wanted the girls to have a

[21:57] chance for a normal life. Last May 30th,

[21:59] surgeons at the University of Utah

[22:01] Medical Center separated the twins. For

[22:04] the first time, Lisa and Elisa could see

[22:06] each other. Now, 7 weeks later, the

[22:08] 21-month-old girls have left the

[22:10] hospital for home. Surprised everyone.

[22:13] Doctors say they're making remarkable

[22:15] progress. Mother and father call it a

[22:17] miracle.

[22:18] >> Maybe we'd start off.

[22:19] >> I think that was between the surgeons

[22:21] and our heavenly father that it was a

[22:23] success.

[22:24] >> I still think too that the doctors too

[22:26] think it was a miracle. Uh I think when

[22:29] they evaluate what happened and what

[22:31] could have went wrong that didn't go

[22:32] wrong, I too think that they feel that

[22:34] it was a miracle.

[22:36] Doctors say a complete prognosis won't

[22:37] be known for years, but it appears now

[22:40] there was no brain damage and the girls

[22:42] are responding normally.

[22:44] >> Michael Rosson for NBC News, Salt Lake

[22:47] City.

[22:56] >> Ah, what's the use of just not biting?

[22:58] Oh, you're on vacation, Fred. Why so

[23:00] tense?

[23:01] >> Oh, my doctor says that caffeine makes

[23:03] me nervous.

[23:04] >> Aha. You should be drinking Sanka brand

[23:06] decaffeinated coffee.

[23:07] >> But I only like real coffee.

[23:09] >> Sanka brand is 100% real coffee. Try it.

[23:14] >> This is real coffee.

[23:16] >> Feel lucky this week?

[23:17] >> Yeah.

[23:18] >> And I feel great, too, since I caught on

[23:20] to the great taste of Sanka Brand. Sanka

[23:22] Brand, the coffee that lets you be your

[23:24] best.

[23:25] >> Got a big load to haul? Get a tough

[23:28] Chevy van. The 125in wheelbase model

[23:31] handles plenty of cargo. It's also got a

[23:34] wider sliding side door opening and

[23:36] wider and higher rear doors than its two

[23:39] closest sales competitors.
