[0:02] Good evening. This is the CBS Evening

[0:04] News. Dan Rather reporting. Just when

[0:06] you might have thought the biggest

[0:08] federal tax overhaul in decades

[0:10] affecting you and yours and everybody's

[0:13] wallet was on the fast track between

[0:15] President Reagan and Congress. Think

[0:17] again. Today it was blindsided and

[0:19] sidetracked, maybe even permanently

[0:21] derailed, doomed, and ditched. Phil

[0:23] Jones reports that what President Reagan

[0:25] insists was a last chance for tax

[0:28] overhaul of any kind. His number one

[0:30] program priority was done in by unhappy

[0:33] House members of his own Republican

[0:35] party.

[0:37] >> Clear the aisles and take your seats.

[0:39] >> It was clearly a testy, exasperated

[0:42] speaker announcing the vote 223 to 202

[0:45] against the procedures for even debating

[0:47] tax reform. Led by Republicans, it was a

[0:50] startling rebuff to President Reagan.

[0:52] Only 14 Republicans voted to keep the

[0:55] process moving. Yet GOP leaders claimed

[0:57] the vote was against the substance of

[0:59] the bill and not Mr. Reagan.

[1:01] >> I don't consider it a defeat for the

[1:02] president.

[1:03] >> That was not the spin from the Democrats

[1:05] who blamed the president for not

[1:07] producing Republican votes.

[1:09] >> Today, with glee in their faces,

[1:11] Republican congressmen voted to

[1:14] humiliate the man who led them to

[1:17] victory.

[1:17] >> The president has not performed his side

[1:20] of the bargain. December 11th, 12:00

[1:24] noon will be remembered as the date that

[1:26] Ronald Reagan became a lame duck on the

[1:30] floor of the Congress.

[1:32] >> Earlier in the day, Democrats had seemed

[1:33] so confident.

[1:34] >> I think the momentum is there.

[1:36] >> But on a GOP leader's office door, a

[1:39] picture had been posted suggesting to

[1:40] Republicans that tax reform was like

[1:43] cutting off their own nose despite their

[1:45] face. and Republican whips were getting

[1:48] a little down home advice on how to

[1:50] handle the matter.

[1:51] >> I've always believed you kill a snake in

[1:52] his hole if you can.

[1:54] >> On the floor, the strategy was working.

[1:56] Few liked either the Democratic or

[1:58] Republican plans or the idea it would be

[2:00] turned over to the Senate to complete.

[2:03] >> They're saying around this chamber now,

[2:04] "Well, wait. We'll take care of that in

[2:06] the other body." Well, I've heard that

[2:08] too many times before.

[2:10] House Democratic leaders and White House

[2:12] officials are scrambling tonight to see

[2:14] if they can save tax reform. But unless

[2:17] the president can get 30 to 40 more

[2:19] Republicans to back him, it is dead in

[2:21] the House and probably dead for the

[2:23] remainder of the president's last term.

[2:26] Phil Jones, CBS News, Capitol Hill.

[2:29] >> President Reagan, described as steaming

[2:31] at the Republican leadership, struggled

[2:33] to stave off defeat of his top priority

[2:35] program for the second term. Despite a

[2:37] bad cold, he made a public appeal to

[2:39] Congress to reconsider.

[2:41] >> We do not believe that after all our

[2:44] efforts, our work should be lost for

[2:45] lack of a handful of votes.

[2:47] >> The president saw just over a dozen

[2:49] members of Congress from his own party,

[2:50] but most remained non-committal.

[2:52] >> I haven't made a commitment to the

[2:54] president as yet.

[2:55] >> We haven't turned our back on the

[2:56] president.

[2:57] >> A former White House adviser thinks the

[2:59] potential damage is serious

[3:01] >> with you. If this bill fails in the

[3:04] House, if tax reform fails in the House,

[3:06] it will be the most significant

[3:08] legislative defeat for the president

[3:10] since he took office.

[3:11] >> AIDS say the president feels double

[3:13] crossed by House Republican leaders and

[3:15] won't forgive or forget when they need

[3:17] his help in next year's election. Some

[3:19] others in the administration are already

[3:21] charging the campaign was mismanaged by

[3:23] the White House staff. Meanwhile, the

[3:25] Treasury Secretary and the Chief of

[3:27] Staff are on Capitol Hill tonight, still

[3:29] hoping that they may be able to pull it

[3:31] out. Bill Plant, CBS News, the White

[3:34] House. It is not all talk and no action

[3:36] tonight at the White House and on

[3:38] Capitol Hill. The Senate now is poised

[3:40] to vote on and pass the Graham Redmond

[3:42] bill, that's the budget balancing act

[3:44] that's supposed to knock down the huge

[3:46] federal deficit to zip by 1990. It will

[3:49] most likely pass Congress, get signed by

[3:52] President Reagan, and most likely mean

[3:54] new deep cuts for years to come in and

[3:57] all kinds of government spending,

[3:58] including cuts in defense dollars that

[4:01] President Reagan previously resisted.

[4:03] Defense Department correspondent David

[4:04] Martin has been looking into what this

[4:06] will mean.

[4:09] Exercises like this, Marines storming

[4:11] ashore this morning at San Clemente

[4:13] Island, will be among the first cuts as

[4:14] the Pentagon searches for ways to

[4:16] eliminate some $5 billion from this

[4:18] year's budget. Other likely cuts,

[4:21] purchases of jet fighters, warships, and

[4:23] similar high-pric weapons. Likely to be

[4:26] spared, the MX missile, other nuclear

[4:28] weapons, and research into a Star Wars

[4:31] defense. Despite the cutbacks, Graham

[4:33] Rdman's effect on the nation's security

[4:35] is unlikely to be noticed until after

[4:37] 1986.

[4:38] >> Cutting back on $5 billion is a

[4:40] relatively small percent and you can

[4:42] adopt that, you can accommodate to that

[4:44] for one year.

[4:45] >> The problem is not a single year. The

[4:48] problem is a pattern which we can now

[4:51] foresee of defense either being constant

[4:55] or falling rather than rising as had

[4:59] been expected. Graham Rugdman could

[5:01] require cuts of $30 billion in 1987 and

[5:04] that could send a powerful message

[5:06] abroad about the durability of the

[5:07] Reagan defense buildup. I think the

[5:10] perception in Moscow, in London, in

[5:12] Paris, in Bon uh will be that the

[5:16] Americans couldn't sustain a consistent

[5:18] defense buildup

[5:19] >> in terms of the bargaining position of

[5:22] the United States. For the Soviets to

[5:24] see a prospect of red reduced defense

[5:28] expenditures weakens our negotiating

[5:31] position.

[5:32] >> Why would President Reagan sign a bill

[5:34] that threatens to bring his defense

[5:35] build up to a grinding halt?

[5:37] Administration officials say he has no

[5:39] choice, that he simply does not have the

[5:40] votes in Congress to uphold a veto of

[5:43] Graham Rugdman. The Pentagon is already

[5:45] working on a budget for next year that

[5:47] calls for a 3% increase in spending. But

[5:50] most experts agree the only way

[5:51] President Reagan can resume his defense

[5:53] buildup is to reduce the deficit by

[5:55] increasing taxes, a step he has said he

[5:58] would take only as a last resort. David

[6:00] Martin, CBS News. The Pentagon. The

[6:03] White House acknowledged today, but only

[6:05] after a newspaper reported it, that

[6:06] President Reagan has secretly signed a

[6:09] directive that orders lie detector tests

[6:11] for people with access to government

[6:13] secrets. The White House wouldn't say

[6:15] how many people could be subjected to

[6:17] the polygraph, but some reports said it

[6:19] could be thousands from members of the

[6:21] cabinet right on down to the Pentagon

[6:22] and State Department employees. These

[6:24] tests could be used to track and stop

[6:26] not only espionage, but also leaks to

[6:29] reporters. Opponents of the lie detector

[6:31] test point out that they are unreliable

[6:33] and say that even if they were reliable,

[6:35] they are a violation of every American's

[6:37] constitutional right to privacy. History

[6:40] was made today on Wall Street. The Dow

[6:42] Jones Industrial Average jumped 12 and

[6:44] 1/2 points to close above 1500 for the

[6:47] first time. Analysts said the boom was

[6:49] built on optimism about congressional

[6:51] action on a balanced federal budget and

[6:54] anticipation of lower energy costs. The

[6:56] market now has gained more than 200

[6:58] points since May.

[7:18] If you've got a lot of men to buy for

[7:21] but not a lot of ideas, come to Sears.

[7:24] Save 50% on this Craftsman drill and

[7:26] circular saw or this Craftsman tool set.

[7:29] Need more ideas? This cassette car

[7:32] stereo is half price and this Craftsman

[7:34] timing light is only $29.99.

[7:37] Plus, Sears has dozens of hardware gifts

[7:39] for under $15. Shall I go on?

[7:43] >> There's more

[7:45] Sears.

[7:47] >> I'm a fitness counselor and people trust

[7:49] my advice about diets and conditioning.

[7:52] When it comes to pain relievers, I trust

[7:54] what hospitals use. About 6 years ago,

[7:56] they gave me Tylenol. I discovered

[7:58] Tylenol is the pain reliever hospitals

[8:00] use most than aspirin or any other type

[8:03] of pain reliever. Tylenol worked and it

[8:06] doesn't upset my stomach like aspirin

[8:08] used to. I feel good about Tylenol

[8:10] because hospitals trust it.

[8:12] >> Trust Tylenol, the pain reliever

[8:14] hospitals use most.

[8:18] Texico pens oil, Getty Oil, a big battle

[8:22] of giants. But Martha Tyson reports that

[8:23] a lone Texas judge's decision to uphold

[8:26] an 11 billion dollar damage award is

[8:29] sending shock waves from Wall Street to

[8:31] the small investor to the gas station on

[8:33] the corner.

[8:35] Rumors that Texico might file for

[8:37] bankruptcy hit Wall Street hard. Texico

[8:40] closed at 28 and a quarter, down $2.5

[8:43] for the day. The stock has lost almost a

[8:45] third its value since November 19th. The

[8:48] day, a Houston jury ordered Texico to

[8:50] pay Pens Oil the record damages for

[8:52] sabotaging Penso's announced merger with

[8:55] Getty Oil and then snatching Getty for

[8:57] itself. The best lawyers Texico's money

[9:00] could buy weren't good enough to

[9:02] convince a judge to bypass the decision

[9:04] of 12 angry jurors intent on teaching

[9:07] corporate America a lesson in ethics, no

[9:09] matter what the consequences for small

[9:11] stockholders who own 72% of Texico.

[9:15] to look at the widows and orphans uh

[9:19] portion of this case and say, "Well, I

[9:21] feel sorry for them, so I I should let

[9:23] Texico get away with the actions that

[9:25] they did." You know, I just couldn't do

[9:27] that.

[9:27] >> But for Texico station owners and

[9:29] stockholders, the view is very

[9:31] different.

[9:32] >> If Texico went down, half of my income

[9:34] would go up. So, I'm very concerned

[9:38] >> to see it all go down the drain because

[9:40] of one court decision. I just cannot

[9:43] believe that business operations like

[9:47] Texico buying out Getty Oil could cost

[9:51] them their company. I find that very

[9:54] hard to believe.

[9:55] >> But a number of oil analysts don't think

[9:57] Texico will go down the drain and expect

[9:59] some compromise with Pens Oil. But even

[10:02] if in the end all those high-priced

[10:03] lawyers do hammer out a deal, the

[10:05] message sent by 12 ordinary Americans

[10:08] remains the same. We wanted the

[10:11] corporate world to understand that uh

[10:14] there are business ethics that have to

[10:16] be followed no matter where you are in

[10:18] this country or this world.

[10:19] >> And if 11 billion dollars can talk, that

[10:22] message will be heard loud and clear.

[10:24] Martha Tyishner, CBS News, Houston.

[10:27] >> Wall Street and big oil are one thing,

[10:29] farmlands in the heartland another. near

[10:32] Hills, Iowa today. They buried John

[10:34] Hughes, the small town banker shot to

[10:37] death by a financially strapped farmer

[10:39] who later killed two others and himself.

[10:41] And Frank Courier reports the violent

[10:43] end of those lives in a way symbolizes

[10:46] the threat to an American way of life

[10:48] linked to values which helped to shape

[10:50] this country.

[10:52] >> They are images of despair, eerie, and

[10:55] empty on the Midwest prairie. the

[10:57] aftermath of a deepening farm crisis

[10:59] which is blamed for this week's murder

[11:01] suicide in Iowa. A crisis which keeps

[11:03] tearing at the social fabric of small

[11:06] towns and their spiritual roots.

[11:12] Well, if things continue as they are,

[11:14] we're not going to have any towns left.

[11:16] The bank and the elevator maybe in 3

[11:18] years, but uh they can't last that long

[11:20] if there's no people here.

[11:24] Wolf, Iowa, population 650. More than

[11:27] 400 towns people have moved away during

[11:30] the past 5 years. Deserted streets,

[11:33] vacant storefronts, painful symbols of a

[11:36] dying community. A town without a

[11:38] pharmacy, a clothing store, a movie

[11:41] theater.

[11:43] What's at stake is much more than the

[11:45] survival of Rolf, Iowa. There's a

[11:47] desperate struggle being waged by small

[11:49] towns throughout the farm belt to

[11:51] preserve those values which some say are

[11:53] the heart and soul of American life.

[11:56] >> Why are we dying? I can't understand it.

[11:59] >> Marty Wland and her husband are among

[12:01] the surviving Main Street merchants just

[12:03] hanging on. Often times half a day will

[12:06] pass between Phillips. You just don't

[12:08] sleep at night. That's what it amounts

[12:10] to because you're so worried about how

[12:12] you're going to make ends meet.

[12:13] >> They worry too for their four children.

[12:16] what bankruptcy might cost in human

[12:18] terms. The loss of freedom, the safety

[12:20] and togetherness of small town life.

[12:22] >> I would hate to move to a big town where

[12:26] I couldn't let my kids go out because I

[12:29] would be afraid that I'd never see him

[12:30] again. I just I couldn't live like that.

[12:33] >> I defy anybody

[12:36] uh that is outside of the situation to

[12:39] understand it.

[12:41] They cannot understand it. Farmer Leroy

[12:44] Simson and others who always prided

[12:46] themselves on their emotional strength

[12:48] are in so much pain now they've sought

[12:50] help through a support group.

[12:52] >> We watch our families, our friends, our

[12:55] neighbors lose their land, their way of

[12:57] life, and it hurts

[13:00] >> for Leroy Simson, who faces foreclosure

[13:03] on part of his third generation family

[13:05] farm. It hurts to see his boyhood roots

[13:08] in Ralph wither away.

[13:10] >> You think you prepare for it, but you

[13:11] really don't.

[13:14] You just it's just like like losing a

[13:17] loved one or something.

[13:21] As winter closes in on the prairie,

[13:23] hopes of recovery have been chilled. It

[13:26] is the chill of what many predict will

[13:28] be a reququum for small towns and a

[13:30] uniquely American way of life. Frank

[13:33] Courier, CBS News, near Ralph, Iowa.

[13:49] Break free and feel how splendid you are

[13:53] with Vanderbilt, the rich romantic

[13:55] fragrance by Gloria Vanderbilt.

[14:09] Vanderbilt. Let it release the splendor

[14:13] of you. Vanderbilt.

[14:16] What is the secret of a truly fine

[14:18] sparkling wine? It is the bubbles. Tiny

[14:22] bubbles like these. The smaller the

[14:24] bubble, the better the bottle.

[14:27] This is Vitis Pumante, a superb

[14:30] sparkling wine from Italy. An elegant

[14:33] sparkling wine with more taste than

[14:35] champagne. Our tiny bubbles will

[14:38] convince you. Reunites pumante. More

[14:42] taste than champagne.

[14:47] Saying that voluntary labeling by the

[14:49] aspirin industry was too hit or miss.

[14:51] The government today proposed a formal

[14:53] warning label on all aspirin packages. a

[14:56] warning that there is a suspected link

[14:59] between giving certain sick children

[15:01] aspirin and the development of the

[15:03] sometimes fatal illness called rise

[15:05] syndrome. It has been called everything

[15:08] from a once- ina-lifetime event to the

[15:10] biggest star with a tail since lassie.

[15:13] But so far's comet hasn't looked like

[15:15] much of a superstar on the last space

[15:17] shuttle flight. They couldn't even find

[15:19] it. Well, it turns out what may be the

[15:21] best photographs of Hal's comet yet

[15:23] don't come from out there, but from

[15:25] astronomers down under in Australia.

[15:28] David Dao has our look at a streaker in

[15:30] the sky. These may well be the last good

[15:34] pictures of comet until next March. Shot

[15:37] as the comet races toward the sun 71

[15:40] million miles from Earth. They were

[15:42] taken through large telescopes at the

[15:44] Sighting Spring Observatory in

[15:45] Australia. They show the beginning of

[15:48] the comet's tail, a tiny streak of light

[15:51] extending 4 million miles across the

[15:53] sky. Eventually, it will grow to 60

[15:55] million miles. To the untrained eye, the

[15:58] icy comet and its shroud of particles

[16:01] remain a fuzzy globe, but scientists are

[16:04] beginning to see activity in that globe.

[16:06] We have gas and dust being blown off the

[16:08] surface of comet. Finally, after uh 76

[16:12] years or so, we're beginning to see the

[16:14] beginning of the cometary phenomena, the

[16:16] beginning of the comet's tail.

[16:17] >> Though it's still difficult to see

[16:19] Holl's with the naked eye, the comet

[16:21] will remain visible with binoculars

[16:23] intermittently until mid January. Then

[16:26] it will begin its journey behind the sun

[16:28] and be out of sight for about 6 weeks.

[16:31] At the end of February, it will reappear

[16:33] to begin another flyby of the Earth. Its

[16:36] tail will then be fully developed,

[16:38] appearing somewhat more as it did during

[16:40] Halie's last visit in 1910. It is a view

[16:43] awaited by millions of people, their

[16:46] expectations heightened by each preview

[16:48] through the eyes of telescopes. David

[16:51] Dao, CBS News, Los Angeles. In Belfast,

[16:55] top British and Irish officials held

[16:56] their first meeting today under the new

[16:58] agreement that gives Ireland a say in

[17:00] running Protestant dominated Northern

[17:02] Ireland. But nearby, violent scuffles

[17:04] broke out between police and some 2,000

[17:06] Protestant demonstrators. The

[17:08] demonstrators wrestled with police and

[17:09] pelted them with stones. Police say 32

[17:12] of their men were hurt. The Protestants

[17:14] oppose anyrish role in their British

[17:16] province. The tickets for February's

[17:19] special election for president in the

[17:20] Philippines were finalized today. The

[17:22] opposition ticket was formed when Cory

[17:24] Aino reached an agreement to run for

[17:26] president with another opposition

[17:28] leader, Salvador Lel, as the candidate

[17:31] for vice president. President Marcos,

[17:32] hoping to outflank his critics, picked

[17:34] as his running mate a former foreign

[17:36] minister he fired last March for

[17:39] opposing his policies.

[17:50] >> You expect a hemorrhoid medicine to

[17:52] relieve pain and itch, but you get an

[17:54] extra therapeutic action with

[17:55] preparation H. It helps speed relief to

[17:58] inflame hemorrhoidal tissue with oxygen

[18:00] action. A special medicine in

[18:02] Preparation H accelerates the absorption

[18:04] of pure oxygen to help shrink swelling

[18:07] of inflamed hemorrhoidal tissue fast.

[18:09] And of course, Preparation H often

[18:11] relieves pain and itch for hours. When

[18:13] you choose a hemorrhoid medicine,

[18:14] remember oxygen action is special with

[18:17] Preparation H.

[18:21] At Seikko, great technology inspires

[18:23] great design.

[18:26] Steel rods and gleaming hinges for a

[18:28] supple bracelet watch.

[18:31] Gold tone on gray tone for the

[18:33] definitive strap watch.

[18:36] A second hand on her elegant dress

[18:38] watch. Water resistant too. Very today.

[18:42] One diamond. And a rich two-tone

[18:45] setting. Very tonight. Man invented

[18:48] time. Seikko perfected it.

[18:52] A federal grand jury in Texas today

[18:54] indicted 44 people in connection with a

[18:56] drug ring that allegedly smuggled a

[18:57] quarter of a million pounds of marijuana

[18:59] into the USA from Mexico. Federal agents

[19:02] today arrested 21 of those charged.

[19:04] Officials tell CBS News that this was

[19:06] the same investigation that US drug

[19:09] agent Enriquei Camarino was working on

[19:11] when he was murdered earlier this year

[19:13] by Mexican drug traffickers. US

[19:15] officials alleged the drug ring

[19:17] laundered its huge profits through banks

[19:19] in Texas, California, New York, and the

[19:21] Cayman Islands. Also indicted today, the

[19:23] Metropolitan National Bank of Mac Allen,

[19:25] Texas. More is better or too much too

[19:29] soon. Those seem to be the options in

[19:31] early education these days as parents

[19:33] and teachers ponder the building blocks

[19:36] of the more abundant life for preschool

[19:38] and kindergarten. And Ericberg reports

[19:40] some educators are saying the answer is

[19:43] as simple as AB E= MC².

[19:52] >> John is only four and can speak to his

[19:55] parents in four languages he's learning

[19:57] at preschool.

[19:58] >> What do they say when you talk to them?

[19:59] >> They don't even understand me.

[20:02] >> Parents in general expect children to

[20:05] learn more and faster. 38% have some

[20:08] school before kindergarten. And it's not

[20:11] just playtime. These preschoolers are

[20:13] learning about logical thinking.

[20:15] >> That's my place.

[20:17] >> The trend toward more early learning has

[20:19] touched off a debate among educators

[20:21] over whether society isn't pushing too

[20:23] hard on the littlest students.

[20:27] >> The child is a an absorptive bladder. uh

[20:31] and that blotter is ready to uh absorb

[20:34] every kind of information that we can

[20:37] give him.

[20:38] >> We seem to think if children talk sooner

[20:40] it'll be better. If they walk sooner

[20:42] it'll be better. If they read sooner

[20:44] it'll be better. And that's not

[20:45] necessarily so.

[20:49] >> Okay, it's time to stop.

[20:52] Listen.

[20:53] >> Kindergarten in Greenwich, Connecticut

[20:55] now runs all day. More time, advocates

[20:58] say means a more relaxed pace. We are

[21:00] able to move children along as fast as

[21:03] they're able to learn. We're really able

[21:05] to challenge children.

[21:06] >> She says the Sesame Street generation

[21:09] starts kindergarten already armed with

[21:11] the basic skills to tackle a full day.

[21:14] >> They've either learned it in nursery

[21:15] school or else they learned it from

[21:17] television and they come to us very very

[21:21] ready.

[21:22] >> Louise Bates Ames, an expert on child

[21:24] development, disagrees. The average

[21:27] 5-year-old is physically not up to the

[21:29] strain of all day kindergarten, and many

[21:31] of them fall asleep in the afternoon.

[21:33] >> 21.

[21:36] >> While many schools look for ways to

[21:38] speed up the early years, Fort

[21:40] Lauderdale, Florida is slowing them

[21:42] down.

[21:43] >> Here, a whole extra year has been added

[21:45] to follow kindergarten. It's called

[21:48] preirst grade, and it's for those like

[21:50] Robbie Chewy who need some extra time to

[21:52] grow before they're ready for first

[21:54] grade. He was prone to coming home with

[21:56] headaches because of the stress of

[21:58] trying to get everything done. The

[22:00] teacher said

[22:02] >> 20% of the kindergarteners here,

[22:04] generally the youngest ones, take the

[22:06] extra year. If there were no preirst,

[22:09] officials here, argue some children

[22:11] would be unfairly consigned to years of

[22:13] straining to catch up with more mature

[22:15] peers.

[22:18] As evidence the pre-F first experiment

[22:20] is working, officials note that the

[22:22] original class now scores at the top of

[22:25] the third grade academically. And they

[22:27] point to such preirst graduates as Sarah

[22:29] Gismer, who went from dreading school to

[22:32] being a leader on the student council.

[22:34] >> You didn't consider that it was a wasted

[22:36] year.

[22:37] >> Oh, matter of fact, it was one of my

[22:40] favorite years. Only one of them. I've

[22:42] had a lot of other good years, too. The

[22:45] early years should be good years.

[22:47] Educators say they're when children are

[22:49] learning fastest. But sometimes the

[22:52] prefirsters are proving you go fastest

[22:54] by slowing down. Eric Angberg, CBS News,

[22:58] Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

[23:10] >> Sinus congestion.

[24:42] Geraldine Ferraro made it official today

[24:43] she won't run against incumbent New York

[24:45] Republican Senator Alonsamato. The

[24:47] former Congresswoman from Queens and

[24:53] in progress justice department

[24:54] investigation of her congressional

[24:56] disclosure reports. Reportedly negative

[24:59] polls about her chances were not

[25:01] mentioned. Now you talk about the new

[25:04] high-profile hi-fi media blitz by the

[25:06] Soviets. Have you seen their new ad

[25:08] campaign for their newest product? It's

[25:11] made in the USA. It doesn't slice or

[25:13] dice. Batteries aren't included. But

[25:15] wait, there's more. And as Bernard

[25:17] Goldberg reports, operators are standing

[25:19] by.

[25:21] >> Holiday Sing Along with Mitch on Video

[25:39] >> Homeowners, stop throwing money out old

[25:41] windows on high heating bills.

[25:42] >> So, what are those slick capitalists up

[25:44] to now with their telephone hotlines?

[25:47] What's the newest, hippest product on

[25:49] the market this holiday season? It's

[25:51] called Gorbachov.

[25:53] >> Surrounded by secrecy, Soviet leader

[25:55] Mikuel Gorbachev shocks the world with

[25:57] his powerful new book, A Time for Peace.

[26:08] world's number one communist, the man

[26:09] who doesn't think much of capitalism, is

[26:14] they pitched Johnny Matthysse.

[26:20] >> We're showing Mr. Garbage something.

[26:22] This is how we do things in America.

[26:25] The fact is, comrade, that things

[26:27] Russian are very in right now.

[26:29] >> Pay attention, please. Thank you.

[26:32] >> As for the Gorbachoff book, even though

[26:34] it's left critics as cold as a Siberian

[26:58] >> Bernard Goldberg, CBS News, New York.

[27:02] >> Well, some of us may just wait for the

[27:03] movie to come out. Dan, rather, thanks.

[27:05] Good night.

[27:08] >> For every man who wears Brute, there's a
