[0:00] With Dan Rather and Connie Chung.
[0:04] Good evening. President Clinton today fired his outspoken U.S. Surgeon General, Joycelyn Elders.
[0:10] Mr. Clinton demanded and got her resignation after she advocated teaching about masturbation as a form of safe sex to fight AIDS.
[0:18] Late tonight, Elders told me she is, quote, not ashamed of what I did as Surgeon General.
[0:23] Regarding her controversial remarks over the last year, she said,
[0:27] I think words are strange things. Once they are out, you can't get them back.
[0:32] White House correspondent Rita Braver reports.
[0:36] President Clinton was in Miami for his summit with Latin American leaders,
[0:39] but the attention quickly moved to Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers,
[0:43] who was quietly informing reporters that the president had fired his controversial Surgeon General, Joycelyn Elders, today.
[0:49] After learning the magazine U.S. News was about to publish remarks Elders made December 1st
[0:55] at a United Nations World AIDS Day conference when she advocated teaching about masturbation
[1:00] as part of comprehensive health education programs in schools.
[1:03] Only 5% of schools have a comprehensive program.
[1:07] To address your specific question in regard to masturbation,
[1:12] I think that that is something that is a part of human sexuality,
[1:17] and it is a part of something that perhaps should be taught.
[1:22] Elders commented in response to a question from a psychiatrist
[1:25] who asked about breaking down taboos about masturbation as a means of safe sex.
[1:30] Elders, who previously had served as President Clinton's Arkansas health director,
[1:34] had already become a lightning rod for conservatives.
[1:37] They objected to her advocacy of teenage condom use.
[1:40] I always tell young women, you know,
[1:44] don't ever go out on a date with anybody you like without a condom in your purse.
[1:51] And she drew fire for her suggestion that legalization of drugs should be considered.
[1:56] And I do feel that we would markedly reduce our crime rate if drugs were legalized.
[2:03] Elders' own son was arrested for selling drugs.
[2:05] And today Republicans hailed her resignation.
[2:08] It's about time.
[2:11] Jocelyn Elders has been an albatross around the neck of the Clinton administration
[2:16] since her announcement of her assignment several years ago.
[2:21] The President's aides are unhappy that Elders' firing intruded on this summit,
[2:25] but said Mr. Clinton had to act immediately, especially in the current political climate.
[2:30] Chief of Staff Leon Panetta said this was just one too many times
[2:33] that Elders made public statements the President disagreed with.
[2:37] Rita Braver, CBS News, with the President in Miami.
[2:41] On Capitol Hill, Republicans and Democrats pulled out the stops today in a bipartisan bidding war.
[2:47] It's a high-stakes game of budget-cut chicken.
[2:50] They're trying to outdo each other and proposing deep slashes in government spending.
[2:55] Chief Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer is watching the bids and keeping score.
[3:00] Cutting government spending has become Washington's number one topic since the election,
[3:04] and today the chairman of a bipartisan reform commission recommended some of the strongest medicine yet.
[3:10] To save money, they recommended everything from raising the retirement age
[3:13] for Social Security and Medicare benefits from 62 to 70
[3:17] to scaling back federal pensions and reducing income tax deductions.
[3:22] Commission co-chair Bob Carey said the drastic cutbacks
[3:25] were the only way to ensure future benefits for younger people.
[3:29] They faced the prospect of dramatically reduced benefits, higher taxes, or both.
[3:35] But as the commission meeting unfolded, it was clear the panel was so badly split
[3:39] it may be unable to recommend anything.
[3:42] Organized Labor's representative exploded at the thought of touching Social Security.
[3:46] In fact, this commission's message to America is that we must destroy the programs in order to save them.
[3:54] A former congressman was wary of cutting federal pensions, including congresses.
[3:59] This is the sort of hot-button red meat that belongs more on a Rush Limbaugh talk show.
[4:07] A Republican wanted different cuts.
[4:09] I am disappointed that more attention was not given to welfare spending.
[4:13] On it went, and by mid-afternoon, the new Republican speaker barred any change in Social Security.
[4:19] I think Social Security is off the table for the foreseeable future,
[4:22] and that we have so many other more pressing and more immediate problems
[4:25] that we ought to focus on the ones that are immediate, not the ones that are 20 years out.
[4:28] Gingrich did confirm Republicans want to cut some other entitlement programs.
[4:32] He didn't say which, but it won't be easy.
[4:35] As today's hearing showed, everyone wants to cut spending,
[4:38] except the program that benefits them.
[4:41] Bob Schieffer, CBS News at the Capitol.
[4:43] Not to be outdone, the White House is considering some government streamlining ideas of its own.
[4:48] Nothing official yet, but proposals being floated would reduce,
[4:52] perhaps even eliminate, some cabinet departments.
[4:55] Housing, energy, and the transportation department are among those being mentioned.
[4:59] There's also been talk of turning over the nation's air traffic control system to private enterprise.
[5:04] The Federal Aviation Administration reversed engines today in the wake of the crash of American Eagle Flight 4184.
[5:12] It finally agreed to order the grounding of ATR planes made in Europe every time flying conditions turn icy.
[5:19] Correspondent Bob Orr broke this story and has the latest.
[5:24] After repeatedly insisting that ATR turboprops were safe in icing conditions,
[5:28] the Federal Aviation Administration late today bowed to pressure and banned the planes from flying in that kind of weather.
[5:34] What we are saying is don't fly the aircraft that are operated by U.S. carriers into flight in forecast or known icing.
[5:42] The National Transportation Safety Board urged the FAA to take that action more than a month ago
[5:46] when investigators first suspected icing in the crash of American Eagle Flight 4184,
[5:51] which killed 68 people in Indiana.
[5:53] Just a week ago, the FAA wouldn't go that far.
[5:56] They have not, in fact, said that this aircraft is unsafe to fly.
[6:01] And put the final decision on the shoulders of ATR pilots like Steve Frederick,
[6:05] who believes he was suspended by American Eagle for refusing to fly on a cold, rainy night.
[6:09] I know I did the right thing. I can live with myself no matter what happens in this
[6:13] because I did this for the crew and the friends that I lost in that accident.
[6:20] As the FAA was making its announcement, a CBS crew aboard an ATR flight today
[6:24] could clearly see ice on the wings of the plane.
[6:26] While the de-icing mechanism on the leading edge of the wings worked properly,
[6:30] the FAA said new tests on the French-made plane confirmed that ice can build up and cause a loss of control.
[6:35] ...treaties out there have been canceled due to...
[6:38] Already tonight, the FAA order has caused flight cancellations at airports including Chicago's O'Hare.
[6:43] With 150 ATRs flying in the United States, the ban will be costly to carriers.
[6:48] But the FAA stands to pay a price as well in lost public confidence.
[6:52] Bob Orr, CBS News, Washington.
[6:54] Also today, the FAA heavily censored the tape and transcript of cockpit conversations
[7:00] from the September crash of U.S. Air flight 427 outside Pittsburgh.
[7:06] The transcript deletes almost everything the pilot said after shouting,
[7:11] Oh, emergency, and an expletive, as the plane suddenly rolled and went wing over wing, then plunged to the ground.
[7:17] All 132 people on the U.S. Air Boeing 737 died.
[7:23] The FAA says it's withholding the full transcript, quote,
[7:26] out of compassion for relatives of the dead.
[7:29] Still ahead on the CBS Evening News, high-speed police chases.
[7:34] Should the rules be changed to protect the innocent?
[7:37] And some small-town cops have custody tonight of a real winner.
[7:48] How much closer are our precision heads?
[7:50] Our innovative lift-and-cut system?
[7:53] How much better is the latest Noroco?
[7:56] In a word, we've never brought you closer.
[7:59] The Noroco Razor.
[8:00] Our closest shave ever.
[8:03] I'm about to perform an amazing act.
[8:06] The act of breathing, made possible by Tavis D.
[8:10] Prescription strength Tavis D.

[8:14] so you can breathe easier.
[8:16] There's nothing else like it.

[8:46] Do it all.
[8:50] President Clinton is in Miami tonight
[8:52] as host of that 34-nation Summit of the Americas.
[8:55] The president hopes to keep the emphasis on trade,
[8:58] economic development, and democracy in the hemisphere.
[9:01] Cuba was not invited to the summit,
[9:03] and U.S. officials say they don't want to talk about Fidel Castro.
[9:07] But Cuban exiles plan to demonstrate,
[9:09] and some Latin leaders say they'll try to force Cuban issues onto the agenda.
[9:14] The summit takes place against a backdrop of rioting and other violence
[9:19] by Cuban refugees who broke out of U.S. military detention camps in Panama.
[9:23] Correspondent Art Rascone has the latest from Panama.
[9:28] Army soldiers continued the roundup of Cuban refugees today,
[9:32] searching the canal zone and jungles of Panama.
[9:35] We believe that there are still some people
[9:38] that are outside of the living area of the camp.
[9:42] This is Operation Safe Haven today.
[9:45] But the refugee camps have been anything but safe the past couple of days.
[9:51] Frustrated over the slow visa process,
[9:53] Cuban refugees began rioting two days ago.
[9:56] It escalated yesterday when more than 1,000 Cubans tore down barbed wire fences
[10:01] and, in the words of a military spokesperson, attacked U.S. soldiers.
[10:05] They did a lot of property damage.
[10:08] They burned the school down.
[10:10] The military moved in with riot gear,
[10:13] using tear gas and rubber bullets to stop the violent rampage.
[10:17] By the time the melee had ended, dozens of tents were burned.
[10:20] Twenty military vehicles were damaged, more than 200 servicemen and women injured,
[10:26] 25 of them serious enough to end up in the hospital.
[10:29] This American GI was caught in the middle of the riot.
[10:33] Beaten and bruised, he was loaded onto a stretcher and hauled off to the hospital.
[10:37] The violent demonstrations may be quelled for now,
[10:40] but many believe there are surely more to come.
[10:43] The Cuban refugees are growing increasingly impatient and restless.
[10:46] The squalid living conditions are only making a bad situation worse.
[10:52] Art Raskone, CBS News, Panama City.
[10:56] In Bosnia today, Serbian forces finally allowed a U.N. aid convoy
[11:00] into the besieged Muslim enclave of Bihaj.
[11:03] And the Serbs released 67 more U.N. peacekeepers they had been holding hostage.
[11:08] Faced with the threat that the U.N. force might pull out of Bosnia,
[11:11] the Serbs are once again talking about a peace settlement.
[11:14] Their leader says a U.N. pull-out would be a humanitarian disaster
[11:18] for both the Serbs and Muslims.
[11:21] No one seems to want the U.N. protection force to leave Bosnia,
[11:24] but the U.S. and its NATO allies are pushing ahead with contingency plans for an evacuation.
[11:29] National security correspondent David Martin has the latest on that.
[11:36] Although 1,000 Marines are already off the coast of the former Yugoslavia,
[11:40] Defense Secretary Perry made clear today that if the U.S. has to help NATO extract U.N. peacekeepers from Bosnia,
[11:47] it will send a heavily armed force of up to 25,000.
[11:50] If we go in in this operation, if NATO gets in in this operation,
[11:54] we're not going in with a token force.
[11:56] We want to go in with a strong enough force that will command respect.
[11:59] The exact number of U.S. troops needed to escort the 23,000 U.N. peacekeepers out of Bosnia is yet to be decided.
[12:06] What is decided is that they will go in prepared to fight what Pentagon officials fear could become a nasty war of ambush and sabotage.
[12:14] And if our forces are attacked by whomever,
[12:17] they will be conducting a combat operation,
[12:19] and they will be equipped and prepared to not only conduct,
[12:23] but to conduct with overwhelming power.
[12:25] Officers here at the Army's National Training Center say escorting convoys out of harm's way
[12:30] can be a complex and difficult operation,
[12:32] particularly in a place with terrain like Bosnia.
[12:36] Forests, mountains,
[12:39] very deep valleys,
[12:40] anything that allows the enemy to close in on your force.
[12:43] And what about the problem of
[12:45] trying to do all this in the midst of a civilian population?
[12:49] That certainly complicates
[12:50] the equation tremendously.
[12:52] The most likely casualty in a U.N. pullout would be any chance for an early end to the suffering and dying.
[12:58] This could be the cruelest winter yet in Bosnia.
[13:02] David Martin, CBS News, Fort Irwin, California.
[13:05] Defense Secretary Perry today announced what he called, quote,
[13:08] prudent cuts in the Pentagon weapons budget.
[13:11] These cuts total $7.7 billion,
[13:14] only about a third of what had been feared.
[13:17] The Army's Comanche helicopter will be kept at the experimental stage,
[13:21] saving more than $2 billion.
[13:22] The Navy will get fewer new destroyers,
[13:25] saving about $1.5 million.
[13:27] The Air Force F-22 fighter will be scaled back by $200 million.
[13:32] And the U.S. Marines' controversial V-22 aircraft,
[13:36] the Osprey, will stay aloft with only minor cuts.
[13:54] Outside of this box of Russell Stover candies,
[13:58] life has changed in the last 70 years.
[14:03] But inside, very little has changed.

[14:13] That's why we can guarantee freshness and home fashion goodness in every piece.
[14:18] Nobody does chocolate like Russell Stover does chocolate.
[14:22] I like to treat people the way I like to be treated myself.
[14:25] If you don't like waiting for a service advisor to come wait on you,
[14:29] if you don't like waiting on the phone for an answer,
[14:32] or a charge on your bill because nobody told you about it,
[14:36] treat the customers like they were you out there standing on the service drive.

[14:52] When I get a cold, I need a strong medication.
[14:54] My husband's a doctor and can give me anything,
[14:57] but he recommends Dimetap XenTabs.

[15:02] It's strong medicine.
[15:04] For colds, doctors recommend Dimetap.

[15:36] A close-up look inside the real thing
[15:38] on Eye on America, Monday on the CBS Evening News.
[15:43] So many mysteries in the O.J. Simpson murder case.
[15:46] Today, at least one of them was cleared up.
[15:48] You may remember that Judge Lance Ito
[15:50] and attorneys for both sides
[15:52] paid a visit last week to the jail
[15:54] where Simpson is being held.
[15:55] And now, as Bill Whitaker reports,
[15:57] we've found out why.
[16:00] It was revealed in open court today
[16:02] that deputies at the jail
[16:04] overheard a possibly incriminating conversation last month
[16:07] between Simpson and Rosie Greer,
[16:09] a former all-pro tackle for the New York Giants
[16:12] and the L.A. Rams,
[16:13] who is now an ordained minister.
[16:16] Are you asserting a claim and a privilege
[16:18] under the California Evidence Code
[16:19] regarding the privileged communications
[16:21] between you and Mr. Simpson
[16:23] that you as the minister and he as the penitent?
[16:25] Is that correct?
[16:26] Yes, sir.
[16:26] Defense attorneys claim any conversation
[16:29] between defendant and clergy
[16:30] is privileged and private.
[16:32] Mr. Simpson has a privilege
[16:34] to prevent any divulgence
[16:37] of any conversation he had with Mr. Greer
[16:41] during visits at the Los Angeles County Jail.
[16:45] Prosecutors disagree.
[16:46] There were circumstances which would indicate
[16:48] this was not a confidential communication
[16:51] or a communication made in confidence.
[16:53] Some court observers say
[16:54] even if the deputies overheard incriminating information,
[16:58] they may never be able to repeat it in court.
[17:00] There's an expectation of privacy.
[17:02] It's in a jail setting.
[17:04] It's made to a minister.
[17:05] Defense attorneys lost their fight
[17:07] to prevent an open court hearing on this issue.
[17:10] They were concerned that the mere fact
[17:12] that they were asserting a privilege
[17:14] would cause speculation
[17:15] as to what the content of the communications was.
[17:18] Prosecutors implied that Simpson was overheard
[17:21] when he raised his voice,
[17:22] which would mean the conversation
[17:23] might not be considered confidential.
[17:25] Jailhouse deputies will give their side
[17:27] of the story Wednesday.
[17:29] Bill Whitaker, CBS News, Los Angeles.
[17:32] Simpson was arrested six months ago
[17:34] after that infamous slow-speed chase
[17:36] along the freeways of Southern California.
[17:38] Of course, most police chases
[17:40] are a lot faster than that one
[17:42] and much more dangerous.
[17:43] And as correspondent Vicki Mabry reports,
[17:46] critics say they're not worth the risk.
[17:50] At least 16 speeding police cars
[17:53] chasing alleged auto thief
[17:54] down the wrong side of a Houston street.
[17:56] Eventually, there's an arrest and no injuries.
[17:59] It's not always that way.
[18:01] This was a senseless act, in my opinion.
[18:04] Three members of Yolanda Mendoza's family
[18:06] were broadsided and killed
[18:07] by another fleeing car theft suspect
[18:09] the day after Thanksgiving in Houston.
[18:12] We were a big family,
[18:12] and we did everything together,
[18:14] all holidays,
[18:15] and we were together through thick and thin.
[18:17] And now, like I said,
[18:20] I'm one brother less and one sister less,
[18:21] and my mother's no longer here,
[18:23] that I feel like I've lost my best friend.
[18:25] David Ball lost his son,
[18:27] a suspected drunk driver
[18:28] who ran from police.
[18:29] Now, Ball wants restrictions
[18:31] on high-speed chases.
[18:32] To me, I mean, it's just senseless
[18:34] to put a police unit behind a car
[18:36] and force him at speeds, you know,
[18:38] to where he's going to kill someone.
[18:40] He's running.
[18:42] 343 people were killed nationwide
[18:44] last year in police pursuits.
[18:46] Many of the victims' innocent bystanders.
[18:49] Eleven have died in the Houston area this year,
[18:51] prompting the mayor to seek capital punishment
[18:53] for fleeing suspects
[18:55] who inadvertently kill someone.
[18:57] I'm not saying you have to execute a person,
[19:01] but I think a jury ought to have that discretion.
[19:04] Yeah, he's just,
[19:05] you're trying right in the middle of the end.
[19:07] Houston is one of only a few cities
[19:08] that allow potentially dangerous pursuits
[19:10] on a reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.
[19:12] Miami and Philadelphia allow high-speed chases
[19:15] for violent offenders only,
[19:17] and several other cities,
[19:18] including Los Angeles and New York,
[19:20] severely restrict them.
[19:22] Houston's mayor and police chief
[19:23] are reviewing the pursuit policies
[19:25] of other cities
[19:25] with an eye toward revising their own.
[19:28] One probable outcome would be limiting
[19:29] the number of police that can join a chase,
[19:32] but they warn major changes are not likely.
[19:34] It's a tragic risk that we're taking
[19:37] that some people may get hurt,
[19:40] but more of us will not get hurt
[19:43] if we do it this way.
[19:44] But increasingly across the country,
[19:46] that's a risk police departments
[19:48] are not willing to take.

[19:55] It's time for a brand new pain reliever
[19:58] that lasts longer than even your tough pains.
[20:01] The pain reliever is new Tylenol Extended Relief.
[20:04] With its unique bilayer caplet,
[20:06] the first layer gives you fast relief now,
[20:08] and the second works continuously
[20:10] so it can last all day.
[20:12] It's the longest-lasting Tylenol ever,
[20:14] so tough pain goes away and stays away longer.
[20:17] New Tylenol Extended Relief.
[20:19] The pain goes away, the pain stays away.
[20:22] All day.
[20:23] It's a pain reliever whose time has come.
[20:25] When you can trust something
[20:27] and know it'll come through for you,
[20:29] that's everything.
[20:30] One of the things we focused on
[20:32] with the new DeVille Concours
[20:33] was making it reliable.
[20:35] We designed the North Star system
[20:37] so that if it ever lost all of its engine coolant,
[20:40] you'd still be able to drive a DeVille Concours
[20:42] up to 50 miles to safety,
[20:44] even in desert heat.
[20:45] You may never need it,
[20:47] but it'll be there for you.
[20:48] There's a car company that cares enough
[20:50] to give you this kind of dependability.
[20:52] That's my company, Cadillac.
[20:56] Introducing a new green Listerine.
[20:59] New Fresh Burst Listerine.
[21:02] And it not only tastes great,
[21:04] it works great.
[21:06] It kills the germs that cause bad breath.
[21:08] It bites plaque above the gum line.
[21:10] It even bites the gum infection gingivitis.
[21:13] Now, can your mint mouthwash do all that?
[21:15] We don't think so.
[21:20] Get the new taste, new feeling,
[21:22] new sensation of new Fresh Burst Listerine.
[21:26] These vegetables are about to be perfectly steamed
[21:29] like food has never been steamed before
[21:31] in the Black & Decker Handy Steamer
[21:34] because deliciously steamed food
[21:36] requires perfect timing.
[21:41] Something's been overlooked in the design of women's razors.
[21:44] The woman.
[21:46] Now there's a razor that adjusts to your legs
[21:48] and underarms, even bikini line.
[21:51] Norelka's silhouette,
[21:52] the first razor designed to shave a woman
[21:53] where a woman shaves.

[22:02] Saturday on CBS with an eye on sports.
[22:06] Leaders of Israel and the PLO
[22:08] are in Norway tonight
[22:09] to accept the Nobel Prize for Peace.
[22:12] These awards will go tomorrow
[22:14] to Israel's Prime Minister Rabin,
[22:16] Foreign Minister Perez,
[22:17] and PLO Chief Yasser Arafat.
[22:19] But as correspondent Bob Simon reports,
[22:21] the real prize, peace itself,
[22:24] is in deep trouble.
[22:26] Right after they arrived in Oslo,
[22:29] the Nobel Prize winners went into meetings
[22:31] not to congratulate each other,
[22:32] but to try to prevent the whole peace process
[22:34] from collapsing.
[22:36] Palestinians in the occupied territory
[22:38] should hold elections soon.
[22:39] That's part of the agreement.
[22:41] Before that happens,
[22:42] the Israeli army should withdraw
[22:44] from Palestinian towns.
[22:45] That's also part of the agreement.
[22:47] But the Israelis are having second thoughts.
[22:49] They're worried about security.
[22:52] The problem is 125 Jewish settlements
[22:55] on the West Bank,
[22:56] some of them virtually in the middle
[22:58] of Palestinian towns.
[23:00] That's one of the endangered Jewish settlements
[23:02] just on the other side
[23:03] of that mosque over there.
[23:05] The settlers have had
[23:06] a pretty scary time of it
[23:08] since the Intifada began
[23:09] seven years ago.
[23:10] And now that there's peace
[23:11] with the Palestinians,
[23:12] they think it could get
[23:14] a lot worse.
[23:15] In terms of personal security,
[23:17] we see that the basic trend
[23:19] of Palestinian nationalism
[23:20] is unfortunately violent
[23:21] and based on too much hate.
[23:24] Haim and Hindi Cowan
[23:25] live in a settlement
[23:26] called Sagat
[23:27] with four of their six children.
[23:29] Children who go to school
[23:30] on these buses
[23:31] with these escorts.
[23:33] Haim drives to work
[23:34] in Jerusalem every day
[23:35] and pauses at the gate
[23:36] for a brief
[23:37] and heartfelt prayer.
[23:39] Do you pray every time
[23:40] you leave the settlement?
[23:41] Yes.
[23:42] But from Robin's point of view,
[23:43] as long as there's settlements
[23:44] and settlers,
[23:45] he has to protect them.
[23:46] And believe me,
[23:47] he cannot redeploy
[23:49] and protect them.
[23:50] But without redeploying,
[23:52] can he protect
[23:52] the peace process?
[23:53] The Palestinian answer
[23:55] is an unequivocal no.
[23:57] Without election,
[23:58] without redeployment,
[23:59] without seeing
[24:00] a second phase
[24:01] of the current peace process,
[24:03] there is no future
[24:03] for the peace process at all.
[24:05] While the statesmen
[24:06] collect their prizes tomorrow,
[24:08] the settlers will be working
[24:09] on their fences
[24:10] and praying,
[24:11] perhaps for peace,
[24:12] as long as it's peace
[24:14] with the Israeli army.
[24:16] Bob Simon, CBS News,
[24:18] Sagat.
[24:20] Coming up next
[24:20] on the CBS Evening News,
[24:22] members of a New Jersey
[24:23] police force
[24:24] cited for content.
[24:27] Thirty years ago,
[24:29] we promised to take care
[24:30] of each other.
[24:30] We sure did.
[24:31] And today,
[24:32] we're taking better care
[24:33] of our health
[24:33] with Ensure.
[24:34] More than a vitamin supplement,
[24:36] Ensure is a delicious drink
[24:37] with all the nutrients
[24:38] adults need
[24:39] to help stay healthy,
[24:40] active,
[24:41] be energetic.
[24:42] Drink Ensure as a meal.
[24:43] Or in between meals.
[24:45] Ensure is recommended
[24:46] number one by doctors
[24:47] as a source
[24:48] of complete balanced nutrition.
[24:50] Ensure,
[24:51] to your health.
[24:52] Uh-uh.
[24:53] To our health.
[24:54] And now there's
[24:55] new Ensure High Protein,
[24:56] low in saturated fat.
[24:57] This advanced technology
[24:59] helps to diagnose arthritis.
[25:01] But to effectively relieve
[25:03] the minor pain
[25:04] of arthritis,
[25:05] use this,
[25:07] Advil.
[25:07] Advil contains
[25:08] the number one
[25:09] doctor-prescribed
[25:10] pain reliever
[25:11] in its class
[25:12] in non-prescription strength.
[25:14] Advil works directly
[25:16] at the site
[25:16] of arthritis pain
[25:17] and nothing's been proven
[25:19] to last longer.
[25:20] Advil,
[25:21] advanced medicine
[25:22] for pain.
[25:22] And now,
[25:23] relief is even closer
[25:24] at hand
[25:25] with a new Advil
[25:26] Easy Open cap.
[25:29] Here in Ohio,
[25:31] we tested
[25:32] the new Honda Accord
[25:33] V6
[25:34] and discovered
[25:35] that the car
[25:36] more people buy
[25:37] than any other
[25:38] is now better
[25:39] and quicker
[25:40] than ever before.
[25:42] Now,
[25:42] why would you want
[25:43] a car
[25:43] that lets you
[25:44] get away
[25:44] so fast?
[25:48] You're late.
[25:49] Up the floor.
[25:50] Five.
[25:52] You've got your reasons.
[25:54] The new Accord
[25:55] V6
[25:56] from Honda.
[25:58] Discover something
[25:59] new for regularity.
[26:00] Always made
[26:00] with the highest
[26:01] quality natural fiber.
[26:04] Metamucil.
[26:05] Now at a surprisingly
[26:06] lower price.
[26:07] I didn't think
[26:07] they could make
[26:08] Metamucil better,
[26:09] but they did.
[26:10] Metamucil,
[26:10] the natural choice
[26:11] for regularity.
[26:13] Now you can enjoy
[26:14] the favorite flavor
[26:15] of the Swiss
[26:16] one freshly brewed
[26:17] cup at a time
[26:18] with Folger's
[26:20] Chocolate Mocha
[26:21] Gourmet Coffee Signals.
[26:22] Rich coffee
[26:23] with a devilish hint
[26:24] of chocolate.
[26:26] Indulge yourself.
[26:29] Over the years,
[26:30] the police
[26:30] in Denville,
[26:31] New Jersey
[26:31] have handed out
[26:32] a lot of tickets,
[26:33] but they saved
[26:34] the biggest ticket
[26:35] of all
[26:35] for themselves.
[26:37] As Jacqueline Adams
[26:38] reports,
[26:39] this one
[26:39] is worth a fortune.
[26:41] We got
[26:42] Millionaire Tom,
[26:43] Millionaire Joe,
[26:44] Millionaire Ken.
[26:45] They claim
[26:46] they're all still
[26:46] just working people.
[26:48] We all came to work
[26:49] at 6.30.
[26:49] We've been working
[26:50] just like a regular day.
[26:51] But last night,
[26:52] 16 officers,
[26:53] a secretary,
[26:53] and a dispatcher,
[26:55] the bulk of the
[26:56] Denville, New Jersey
[26:56] police force,
[26:57] hit the jackpot.
[26:59] That's the winning ticket.
[27:00] Millionaire Don,
[27:01] me,
[27:02] Millionaire Russ.
[27:03] If you think
[27:04] you can get by
[27:05] 16 guns,
[27:06] you can have it.
[27:08] Now the Beverly Hills
[27:09] Police Department
[27:10] is staged
[27:10] right behind the badge.
[27:12] $27,199,000.
[27:14] Your hand's shaking.
[27:15] Sure.
[27:16] It's shaking.
[27:16] They each spent
[27:17] $5.
[27:18] Millionaire Colleen,
[27:20] millionaires,
[27:21] I guess it is.
[27:21] They each won
[27:22] $1,500,011.
[27:25] Can you wipe
[27:26] the grin off your face?
[27:27] No, I can't.
[27:28] For each winner,
[27:29] that means
[27:30] $77,000 a year
[27:31] for each of the next
[27:32] 20 years,
[27:33] about $54,000
[27:35] after taxes.
[27:36] So are you still
[27:37] looking for a raise
[27:38] this year from the town?
[27:39] Of course.
[27:40] I think negotiations
[27:41] just got tougher.
[27:42] The winnings work out
[27:43] to about twice
[27:44] the average officer's
[27:45] yearly salary.
[27:46] Not enough to retire,
[27:48] maybe,
[27:48] but enough certainly
[27:49] to fulfill a few dreams.
[27:51] My wife's pregnant.
[27:52] We have one on the way.
[27:53] It's our first one,
[27:53] so it'll be help.
[27:55] We've got a little
[27:55] college fun going already.
[27:56] They might buy
[27:57] a couple cows.
[27:58] Cows?
[27:59] Cows.
[27:59] Late today,
[28:00] New Jersey's governor
[28:01] gave the officers
[28:02] a big check.
[28:03] She got a hat.
[28:04] Does that mean
[28:04] I don't get,
[28:05] but I don't get
[28:06] anything from this?
[28:08] They played.
[28:10] They won.
[28:14] Now they can afford
[28:18] a whole field of clover.
[28:20] Jacqueline Adams,
[28:21] CBS News,
[28:23] Denville, New Jersey.

[28:25] of our world tonight.
