[0:04] I think the current wisdom within the

[0:07] campaign is that there is now a 20 to

[0:09] 30% sector of the electorate which is

[0:11] going to be disappointed and unhappy

[0:13] with the president sending a protest

[0:15] message no matter what state or what uh

[0:18] area of the country. So I think they

[0:20] sound resigned to losing 30%. Of course

[0:23] that is something Buchanan would turn

[0:24] around and claim victory. and thanks

[0:26] very much. ABC's Anne Compton live for

[0:28] us this morning at the White House. The

[0:30] president and the Congress are not

[0:31] seeing eye to eye on exactly how to deal

[0:33] with the Chinese. The president once

[0:35] again vetoing a congressional bill that

[0:36] would have linked progress on human

[0:38] rights in China to his status as a most

[0:40] favored nation trading partner with the

[0:42] US. The president says the best way to

[0:44] change the Chinese policy is through

[0:46] diplomacy. Chinese officials say

[0:48] President Bush made what they're calling

[0:50] a wise decision. On Capitol Hill, the

[0:53] Senate Finance Committee is about to

[0:54] take on a new plan. And the Democrats

[0:56] are pushing to try to revive the

[0:57] economy. This one reportedly would raise

[0:59] the top tax rate to 36%. The House wants

[1:02] it to be 35%. President Bush wants it

[1:04] left at the current 31%. There would be

[1:06] a 10% sir charge for incomes over a

[1:09] million dollar. Families would get a tax

[1:11] credit for each child under the age of

[1:13] 16. The credit would be more than no

[1:15] more than $300 per child and it would be

[1:17] phased out the more that a family

[1:19] actually makes. Overseas this morning,

[1:22] the former Israeli Prime Minister

[1:23] Manakim Beagan is in a Tel Aviv hospital

[1:25] this morning. Doctors say he suffered a

[1:27] heart attack. Bean is 78 years old. He

[1:29] won the Nobel Peace Prize for the Camp

[1:31] David Peace Accords that he and

[1:32] President Sadat and President Carter

[1:34] signed back in 1979. Bean has to a

[1:37] fairly large extent been out of the

[1:38] public eye since the death of his wife

[1:40] nearly 10 years ago. In the old Soviet

[1:43] Union this morning, some troops of the

[1:44] former Red Army are leaving the tense

[1:46] region of Negrono Carabach. They were

[1:48] sent in to try to stop ethnic violence,

[1:50] but they simply couldn't do that job.

[1:52] Armenians who live in the region say

[1:54] rival groups of Azerbaanis killed

[1:56] hundreds of people in a massacre over

[1:58] this past week. Changing gears right

[2:00] now, baseball, a record- setting

[2:02] contract for the Chicago Cub star Ryan

[2:04] Sandberg. Starting next year, Ryan

[2:06] Sandberg will make $28 million over the

[2:09] next four seasons. That's right, $7

[2:11] million per season. Ryan Sandberg is 32

[2:15] years old and obviously very very happy.

[2:18] His deal breaks the record that was set

[2:20] back in December when Bobby Bonia signed

[2:22] his contract with the Mets for a poultry

[2:24] $5 million a year. How will he ever get

[2:27] by? Joan Spencer,

[2:29] >> it's going to be tough, Mike. You got to

[2:30] consider 7 million after taxes is

[2:32] probably only about three and a half

[2:33] million. So, you know, it's it's going

[2:35] to be tough.

[2:36] >> Well, obviously he'll just have to make

[2:37] do with maybe one new car every month.

[2:40] >> Yeah.

[2:40] >> I'm not even going to get involved in

[2:42] this. Thanks, Mike. Well, you got a lot

[2:45] of raindrops and things on that map of

[2:46] yours.

[2:47] >> We have do indeed. We have a taxing

[2:48] weather map as well. I'll show you

[2:50] what's going on. Lots of heavy rain, but

[2:52] much needed rainfall pushed through

[2:53] Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona

[2:55] yesterday. And during the overnight

[2:56] hours, you can see the movement of those

[2:58] cloud systems by way of satellite here.

[3:00] And there was considerable flooding in

[3:01] the desert areas of Southern California,

[3:03] Nevada, and southwestern Arizona. The

[3:05] dry parched ground doesn't absorb the

[3:07] water quite so well as other normal

[3:10] ground would. to be a presidential

[3:12] primary somewhere. And in fact, today

[3:14] there are several. This round of

[3:15] primaries and caucuses is being called

[3:17] Junior Tuesday, coming as it does just a

[3:19] week before Super Tuesday. And a total

[3:21] of seven states vote today. Primaries

[3:23] being held in Georgia, Maryland,

[3:26] Colorado, and Utah. And caucuses are

[3:28] being held in Idaho, Minnesota,

[3:30] Washington State, and also in American

[3:32] Samoa. Joining us as we focus in on two

[3:35] of the most prominent primaries are

[3:36] Cynthia Tucker in Atlanta. She's the

[3:38] editor of the editorial page for the

[3:40] Atlanta Constitution. And with us from

[3:42] WJZV in Baltimore is John Willis. He's

[3:44] the author of presidential elections in

[3:46] Maryland. And I thank you each for being

[3:48] with us. Let me start with Georgia. And

[3:50] and Cynthia, let me start with you. Uh

[3:52] after New Hampshire, Bill Clinton was

[3:54] saying that Paul Sonis is just a

[3:55] regional candidate. Can't be elected

[3:57] across the country. And yet it would

[3:59] seem as if Bill Clinton down in Georgia

[4:01] is fighting desperately to hold his

[4:03] regional base in the south.

[4:05] >> Indeed, I think that he is. In fact,

[4:07] Governor Clinton is already trying to

[4:10] lower expectations for his win here in

[4:12] Georgia. Mr. Songis is definitely

[4:15] picking up steam here and Mr. Clinton,

[4:18] Governor Clinton is now telling his

[4:19] supporters that he will pick up steam as

[4:22] the primaries go along. So, he's already

[4:25] trying to set lower expectations.

[4:26] >> In the Mike von friend piece during the

[4:28] news, an analyst of Georgia politics

[4:30] said if Clinton doesn't have a

[4:31] convincing victory in Georgia, it always

[4:34] gets to the expectation game. Cynthia,

[4:36] what's a convincing victory for Bill

[4:38] Clinton in Georgia?

[4:39] >> Well, I think that Governor Clinton

[4:41] needs to do better than the 40% that the

[4:43] polls are showing him with and do more

[4:46] like 50 or 60. And I'm not sure that he

[4:48] can pull that off.

[4:49] >> And he has to do that because there are

[4:50] so many southern primaries coming up in

[4:53] Super Tuesday.

[4:53] >> Indeed. And and and he hasn't won a

[4:55] primary so far. So, he needs to take

[4:58] major momentum into the Super Tuesday

[5:00] primaries. if his strength is indeed in

[5:03] the South, he needs to show considerable

[5:06] strength in the South because he does

[5:08] not have that considerable strength yet

[5:11] anywhere else.

[5:12] >> John Willis, let me let me turn to

[5:14] Maryland because we've been talking

[5:15] about regional appeals from different

[5:17] candidates, but Maryland is interesting

[5:18] because it's a relatively level playing

[5:20] field in that uh there's no Democratic

[5:23] candidate from your area and it is a

[5:25] heavily Democratic state. How's how's

[5:27] the field doing?

[5:29] >> Well, I think you're right. I think

[5:30] Maryland is a true test. We don't have a

[5:32] candidate that considers Maryland as

[5:34] part of their region, but Maryland has a

[5:37] wide variety of constituencies here, and

[5:40] I think each of the candidates has

[5:41] something they can play to in Maryland.

[5:44] >> Paul Sus has said that Maryland is

[5:46] critical for him. Is he running well in

[5:48] the state?

[5:48] >> Uh he is. In the last three polls over

[5:50] the last two weeks, he's shown a lead

[5:52] anywhere between three and 10 percentage

[5:54] points here in Maryland. Uh Governor

[5:56] Clinton had early endorsements from a

[5:59] lot of the elected officials here uh and

[6:01] is holding uh holding his own. It's a

[6:04] question of where the turnout's going to

[6:05] be in Maryland, whether it'll be from

[6:07] the inner city in Baltimore City or the

[6:09] suburbs around the Washington

[6:11] metropolitan area or the regions in

[6:13] western Maryland or the Eastern Shore.

[6:15] >> John, we agree it's a level playing

[6:16] field in Maryland. What message seems to

[6:19] be taking hold or that voters seem to be

[6:21] listening to with particular care there?

[6:24] Well, I think the economic message is

[6:26] really the battleground for the

[6:27] Democrats in Maryland. Uh they're pretty

[6:29] much similar on all the social issues

[6:31] and all the civil rights issues. Uh

[6:33] there has not been much foreign policy

[6:35] debate. It's been the economic debate

[6:37] and how to uh attack that problem and as

[6:41] well as I guess secondarily the

[6:42] healthcare issue.

[6:43] >> John, you mentioned inner city vote a

[6:44] moment ago where the vote will come

[6:46] from. Has any candidate in Maryland made

[6:48] a particular pitch for the black vote?

[6:50] Well, Governor Clinton uh got the

[6:52] endorsement last week of Mayor Smoke in

[6:54] Baltimore, which I think will be of

[6:56] assistance. Uh but it has been uh there

[6:59] is not a monolithic African-American

[7:01] vote in Maryland. Uh the other

[7:03] candidates have endorsements as well,

[7:05] both in the DC suburbs as well as in the

[7:08] central core of Baltimore City.

[7:09] >> Cynthia Tucker, let me turn back to you

[7:11] on the Republican side quickly because

[7:12] Pat Buchanan has made Georgia uh such an

[7:15] important part of his strategy. Who were

[7:17] his voters? How's he doing?

[7:19] Well, I think that uh I don't think that

[7:22] Mr. Buchanan will do as well here in

[7:24] Georgia as he did in New Hampshire.

[7:26] However, he could still provide an

[7:29] embarrassment for the president. He

[7:31] could still get, I think, as much as 30%

[7:33] of the vote, which ought to be an

[7:35] embarrassment for the president against

[7:36] a man who has never held elective

[7:38] office. Pat Buchanan is pandering to

[7:42] racial issues here. Unfortunately, there

[7:45] are some voters in the south for whom

[7:47] that still has appeal. So, I think Mr.

[7:49] Buchanan is picking up what I think of

[7:51] as the David Duke vote. David Duke is

[7:54] not on the ballot here and Pat Buchanan

[7:57] is picking up some of the voters who

[7:58] would have gone for him.

[8:00] >> It's interesting. He got 37% in New

[8:02] Hampshire. You're saying that he could

[8:04] do well in the expectation game even if

[8:05] he doesn't equal the New Hampshire vote.

[8:07] >> Even if he does not. Exactly.

[8:09] >> All right. Cynthia Tucker, thank you

[8:11] very much. John Willis, thank you for

[8:12] being with us. Two of the important

[8:14] primaries today. As we mentioned, other

[8:15] primaries in Colorado, that a very

[8:17] important one. The state of Utah as

[8:19] well, and caucuses to be held today in

[8:22] three states as well. It is 15 minutes

[8:24] after the hour, a terminal flu,

[8:25] Michillan on the Michelangelo computer

[8:27] virus when Good Morning America

[8:29] continues.

[8:32] I'm consumer editor Paula Lions. By now,

[8:35] just about everyone knows asbestos can

[8:37] be hazardous to your health, but tearing

[8:40] it out of your house may be the worst

[8:42] thing you can do. Find out why later on

[8:44] Good Morning America.

[8:47] Right now at 7:18, the Renaissance

[8:49] artist Michelangelo is best known for

[8:51] creating works of art that have stood

[8:53] the test of time. But beware, the files

[8:55] and programs in your personal computer

[8:57] might not stand the same test. If the

[9:00] virus called Michelangelo strikes, it is

[9:03] set to activate on Michelangelo's

[9:04] birthday. That's this coming Friday,

[9:06] March 6th. Our science editor, Michael

[9:08] Gillan, joins us now with an explanation

[9:10] of the Michelangelo virus and some

[9:12] advice on how to avoid the effects of

[9:13] this pesky little computer bug. Boy,

[9:16] >> that it is.

[9:17] >> First of all, what is it and and what

[9:19] can it do?

[9:20] >> It's a small coded message shown that if

[9:23] it gets into your computer will wipe out

[9:25] everything in it. Now, we're talking

[9:27] about computers that have a hard disk

[9:30] that use IBM or IBM compatible

[9:32] programming. So, we're not talking

[9:34] Macintosh or Apple computers. Here's how

[9:36] it works. Um, if the virus gets into the

[9:40] computer, usually it gets in by way of a

[9:42] floppy disc. Gets in there, it sits

[9:45] dormant, doesn't bother, but if you

[9:47] happen to turn your computer on March

[9:49] 6th, it activates the virus and it

[9:52] records over everything you have in the

[9:54] hard disk. Almost like somebody

[9:55] recording over your favorite videotape.

[9:58] So, everyone who gets a virus into their

[10:00] computer, who turns their computer on

[10:01] March 6, stands to lose everything.

[10:03] >> Well, where does it come from?

[10:05] $64,000

[10:07] question. You know, no one really knows.

[10:09] It was first detected in April in

[10:11] Europe. Maybe it was an individual who

[10:13] deliberately infected, let's say, one

[10:15] floppy disc that got into a computer,

[10:18] infected that computer, which in turn

[10:20] infected every other floppy disc that

[10:22] was inserted into it, which then went on

[10:24] to infect other computers, and it

[10:26] spread. Now, I have to say that as

[10:28] viruses go, there aren't that many

[10:30] reported incidences of this Michelangelo

[10:32] virus so far, but there is an enormous

[10:34] fear factor because if your computer

[10:36] gets it, it's fatal. It wipes everything

[10:39] out.

[10:40] >> It doesn't The computer still runs, but

[10:41] everything you've ever had in there,

[10:42] >> the computer still runs, but everything

[10:44] you've ever stored in it is gone.

[10:45] >> Let's talk. Are there ways you can Can

[10:47] you protect yourself?

[10:48] >> A lot of different ways. For example,

[10:49] you can turn your computer on March 5th

[10:51] and let it run through March 7th, so you

[10:53] avoid turning it on March 6th.

[10:55] >> It's a turning it on on March.

[10:57] >> It's turning it on the March 6 that

[10:58] activates it. Exactly, Joan. Or you can

[11:01] reset the internal clock in your

[11:03] computer to March 7th, skipping over

[11:05] March 6th. In fact, that's what we're

[11:06] doing here at Good Morning America. I

[11:08] understand.

[11:08] >> The only hitch with that is that next

[11:10] March 6th,

[11:12] >> get out of here. Everything

[11:13] >> because the virus will still be there.

[11:15] So, that's only a partial solution. You

[11:18] should also, if you think you're at

[11:19] risk, back up all your files so that

[11:21] copies of everything. That's right. In

[11:22] case the virus does strike, that you'll

[11:25] have something to back it up. But the

[11:26] best advice I can give is that there are

[11:28] antiviral programs, believe it or not,

[11:31] on the market. And we still to your

[11:34] computer.

[11:34] >> It really is in many ways. There's an

[11:35] enormous comparison between this and

[11:37] bacterial v human viruses. Here are some

[11:41] of the programs. Central Point

[11:43] Antivirus, FPRO. They come with these

[11:45] weird names. We have other four that we

[11:47] can show you. Virix PC for example.

[11:50] >> All of these are available on the

[11:52] market. All of these are about six

[11:54] months old because if you use an

[11:56] antivirus, here's Dr. Solomon's toolkit.

[11:58] If you use an antiviral program that is

[12:01] older than 6 months, Joan, then it won't

[12:03] be equipped to handle the Michelangelo

[12:04] virus because the Michelangelo virus is

[12:07] a relatively new one.

[12:08] >> So, this has to be relatively new.

[12:09] However, sometimes you if you bought a

[12:11] new computer like I I bought one within

[12:13] the last 6 months, I might be more

[12:15] inclined to worry about it because some

[12:17] of them have been shipped out with

[12:18] viruses.

[12:19] >> That's right. It's not likely, but

[12:20] there's a possibility. If there are any

[12:22] if there is any confusion that viewers

[12:23] have, we do have an 800 number for the

[12:25] National Computer Security Association.

[12:27] Okay.

[12:28] >> It's 1 8004884595.

[12:31] If it's busy, keep trying. They only

[12:32] have three phone lines, but they can

[12:34] advise you as to what antiviral program

[12:37] is best suited to your computer.

[12:38] >> Couple questions. First of all, if you

[12:40] trade floppy discs, you're more inclined

[12:42] to have this, right? That's basically

[12:44] how this virus spreads. Absolutely. Yes.

[12:47] >> And we're talking about not just big

[12:48] businesses, but we're talking about

[12:50] regular all everyday home.

[12:51] >> We're talking about 80 to 100 million

[12:54] computers that have hard discs and that

[12:55] are IBM or IBM compatible. The bank the

[12:58] banks use them. For example, the New

[12:59] York Stock Exchange.

[13:00] >> What I don't get and what I don't get is

[13:02] if you've got a computer sitting in your

[13:03] house and you've never and you don't

[13:05] trade floppy disc, how would it get

[13:06] there?

[13:07] >> You if you don't trade floppy discs and

[13:09] you haven't even bought any, you don't

[13:11] have anything to worry about. But even

[13:12] if you buy a shrink wrapped uh even disc

[13:16] that you think is clean, yes,

[13:17] >> you just don't know.

[13:18] >> You just don't know. The virus can get

[13:20] in in subtle ways.

[13:21] >> 1 800488-4595

[13:24] if you have questions. Michael, thank

[13:25] you.

[13:25] >> You bet.

[13:26] >> And we'll be back.

[13:36] Ireland. The model you'll be seeing a

[13:38] lot of on the cover and inside this

[13:40] year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit

[13:43] issue.

[13:45] >> Mark Harry got a show to do here.

[13:48] >> Mark, do you care? Do you care about the

[13:50] Sports Illustrated issue coming out of

[13:51] you? Is that a

[13:52] >> very dearly, deeply every year? Yes, I

[13:55] do. I care very much. Thank you.

[13:56] >> I just wanted to

[13:58] >> but maybe

[13:59] >> so I don't. Well, and we'll just

[14:02] separate ourselves for just a moment or

[14:04] two and and proceed on with that segment

[14:06] a little bit later on in this half hour.

[14:08] Also in this half hour, how you can help

[14:10] an overweight teenager who is addicted

[14:12] to food. Dr. Bob Arnot will be here with

[14:14] more in his series Fat Madness, the

[14:17] truth about dieting. And if the look is

[14:19] familiar, it's supposed to be. That's

[14:21] Desi Ares Jr. playing his father in the

[14:24] new movie The Mambbo Kings. And we're

[14:26] going to hear from him just ahead.

[14:28] >> All right, first it's time for the news

[14:29] this morning. The first votes have been

[14:31] cast on this busiest day so far of

[14:34] campaign 92. In Georgia, the stakes are

[14:36] high for candidates of both parties.

[14:38] It's today's main battleground between

[14:40] President Bush and Republican challenger

[14:42] Patrick Buchanan. Eric Angberg has more.

[14:46] >> On his final day on the campaign trail

[14:48] in Georgia, Pat Buchanan sounded like a

[14:50] candidate who wasn't just running

[14:52] against the president, but against

[14:54] Washington and all who serve there.

[14:56] >> We're going to take THEM ALL OUT.

[15:02] WE'RE AFTER THEM ALL. We're taking no

[15:05] prisoners up there.

[15:06] >> It's an appeal aimed at the large chunk

[15:08] of the electorate fed up with both

[15:10] parties. And Buchanan challenging a

[15:13] well- entrenched president and the GOP

[15:15] apparatus needs help in both parties to

[15:17] have a chance in Georgia. Here,

[15:20] Democrats can cross over to vote in the

[15:22] Republican primary. Buchanan is going to

[15:24] extra lengths to try to get them to do

[15:26] just that. Bill Clinton is a

[15:28] conservative.

[15:31] George Bush isn't a conservative. And

[15:33] heaven knows Paul Songis is no

[15:35] conservative.

[15:36] >> In keeping with a strategy, he was

[15:38] careful not to offend supporters of

[15:41] David Duke, who is not on the Georgia

[15:43] ballot. Given a chance to criticize the

[15:45] exclan leader turned politician, the

[15:48] normally tough-talking Buchanan measured

[15:50] his words. If you believe in equal

[15:53] opportunity under law and equal justice

[15:55] under law, as I do, and no

[15:56] discrimination means no discrimination,

[15:59] you don't have to join the KKK to make

[16:01] that statement.

[16:02] >> The effort to transfer the New Hampshire

[16:04] political shock to the Sunb Belt ended

[16:06] with a big rally in Marietta and

[16:08] Buchanan pleading for Democratic votes

[16:10] again. His needs today are easy to

[16:13] describe. Another New Hampshire. Eric

[16:17] Hingberg, CBS News, Atlanta. The

[16:20] Democrats also have an important

[16:21] showdown in today's Georgia voting. Bill

[16:24] Clinton has campaigned hard there,

[16:25] seeking his first victory of the primary

[16:27] season. Clinton is favored to win, but

[16:30] polls show Paul Sonis is starting to

[16:32] narrow the gap. Sonis is viewed as the

[16:34] leader in several other states among the

[16:37] seven holding Democratic primaries or

[16:39] caucuses today. The Chinese government

[16:42] is praising President Bush for vetoing a

[16:44] bill that would impose conditions on US

[16:46] trade with China. The rejected measure

[16:48] would have required Beijing to show

[16:50] progress on human rights and other

[16:52] issues before most favored nation trade

[16:54] status could be renewed. In the former

[16:57] Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan, grizzly

[17:00] new evidence today of a massacre. A

[17:02] warning, some of these pictures are

[17:04] graphic. Refugees and reporters say

[17:06] dozens of bodies of Azerbaian civilians,

[17:09] including children, are now being

[17:11] recovered. Witnesses blame Armenian

[17:14] militants in Agorno Carabach, the

[17:15] heavily Armenian enclave inside of

[17:18] Azerbaijan.

[17:20] The flags of Armenia and Azerbaijan were

[17:23] among those of eight former Soviet

[17:25] republics unfurled at the United Nations

[17:28] and all nine new UN members were seated

[17:30] in the general assembly yesterday. The

[17:32] ninth is San Marino, a tiny country in

[17:34] the Italian Alps known as the world's

[17:36] oldest independent republic. Finally

[17:39] this morning, Wayne's World wins at the

[17:41] box office yet again. Wayne and Gar were

[17:44] number one for the third straight week,

[17:46] taking in $9.5 million last weekend

[17:49] alone. Rounding out the top five, the

[17:51] newly released Memoirs of an Invisible

[17:53] Man, followed by Stop or My Mom Will

[17:55] Shoot, Fried Green Tomatoes, and

[17:58] Medicine Man. There you have it. At 25

[18:01] minutes before the hour, and you said

[18:02] the best joke in that that uh movie this

[18:04] weekend was had to do with Bewitched,

[18:06] Dick York, Dick Sergeant York, Dick

[18:07] Sergeant. Both of them played Darren

[18:09] Sergeant York RR.

[18:12] >> So you loved Wayne's World?

[18:14] >> Nope. Didn't like it.

[18:17] >> Didn't like it at all. I like him on

[18:19] Saturday Night Live. I just thought it

[18:20] was too long.

[18:21] >> Five minutes at a time.

[18:22] >> Yeah. But we have Kathy Ireland coming

[18:23] on, right?

[18:24] >> Yes.

[18:25] >> Big fan of her acting. She was in an

[18:26] unnecessary roughness. It was a football

[18:28] movie. Thought she was brilliant.

[18:30] >> Well, she'll be here and you you know,

[18:32] >> she played a place.

[18:33] >> You can talk about acting.

[18:35] >> I think that's that was Oscar material.

[18:37] I really do. Okay, let's talk about the

[18:39] Mark's Velcro wall clunk. Okay,

[18:44] we need to get a couple more wakeup call

[18:45] thingies there. Greenville, North

[18:47] Carolina, mostly cloudy, 57°. Swimsuit

[18:49] issues expected to be seen, if not read,

[18:52] by 45 million people. The issue shows

[18:56] off 11 of the world's most beautiful

[18:58] models in exotic locations all over

[19:01] Spain. Supermodel Kathy Ireland makes

[19:03] her ninth appearance and we can finally

[19:05] reveal that she is also the cover model

[19:08] for the second time. And Kathy joins us

[19:10] along with Sports Illustrated senior

[19:12] editor Julie Campbell who's been behind

[19:14] all 28 swimsuit issues. Good morning.

[19:18] >> Good morning.

[19:18] >> Good morning.

[19:19] >> Congratulations.

[19:20] >> Thank you.

[19:20] >> Is that really a big deal? You've done

[19:22] this so many times before. Is it really

[19:24] a big deal to get on the cover?

[19:26] >> Oh, it's it's a great deal. Uh, I was on

[19:28] the cover three years ago and at the

[19:29] time I really had no idea what an impact

[19:31] it would have but but it's it's pretty

[19:34] great. It's exciting.

[19:35] >> When do you find out? I mean, is there

[19:36] any sense while you're all out there

[19:38] shooting these things that maybe it's

[19:41] one or another or is it when they look

[19:43] at all the pictures at the end they

[19:44] finally say, "This is the one we're

[19:45] going to put on the front." Is that how

[19:46] it works?

[19:47] >> Yeah. No one knows who's going to be on

[19:48] the cover. It's never planned. It's just

[19:51] um

[19:51] >> We don't pre predetermine. I try to

[19:53] shoot a cover on every girl.

[19:55] >> Yeah. In Spain, why Spain this year?

[19:57] Every year it's a different location

[19:58] because of the Olympics to the Olympics.

[20:00] Right.

[20:00] >> What what I didn't realize is the

[20:02] weather that's the same latitude as

[20:04] Philadelphia and you don't put bikinis

[20:06] on girls in November.

[20:09] >> So that was hard work then Kathy.

[20:12] >> Well um

[20:14] we had our work cut out for us. It was

[20:16] it was beautiful. We had beautiful

[20:18] locations but

[20:19] >> we did have the elements against us. A

[20:21] lot of rain and Julie was telling me on

[20:23] some of her locations she even had a

[20:25] little bit of hail. What's the Is this

[20:27] hard work this because this goes on for

[20:30] weeks and weeks and weeks, right? Is it

[20:31] hard work?

[20:32] >> We get up at 3:00 or 4 in the morning.

[20:34] It's a long day, 4 hours sleep.

[20:36] >> What's the toughest part for you?

[20:38] >> The toughest part for me, I would say,

[20:40] is just um dealing with the elements and

[20:43] always you've always got to be ready.

[20:45] Even though we're sitting around waiting

[20:47] for the sun to come out, we're camera

[20:49] ready. Underneath our down jackets,

[20:51] we've got our our bathing suits.

[20:53] >> She's not telling you everything. Uh,

[20:54] when I say Kathy, would you get wet? Do

[20:57] you want my hair wet, Kathy? And she

[21:00] just goes under and comes up smiling,

[21:02] tries not to have goosebumps. Right.

[21:05] >> Yeah. Getting keeping control of the

[21:07] goosebumps is pretty challenging, too.

[21:10] >> You put that on a resume someplace has

[21:12] complete and total control of

[21:13] goosebumps.

[21:14] >> Control.

[21:15] >> Yeah. What um how 11 issues that you've

[21:18] been in, right?

[21:19] >> Nine.

[21:19] >> Nine. Nine altogether. You're you're

[21:22] married, right? What does your husband

[21:24] think of all of this?

[21:25] >> Uh, my husband's wonderful. I I scored

[21:28] big time in that department. He's great

[21:30] and he's uh he's very supportive and

[21:33] he's um a very secure man, so he doesn't

[21:35] feel threatened by this. And um he

[21:38] thinks it's pretty neat.

[21:39] >> Yeah.

[21:42] >> He was a fan.

[21:43] >> Did he see you in the magazine before

[21:44] you were married?

[21:45] >> Actually, he did.

[21:46] >> So, he knew who you were.

[21:48] >> Yeah.

[21:50] >> Never mind. Uh let me ask you another

[21:53] question because I can remember from

[21:55] years and years and years ago we get

[21:56] Sports Illustrated and it would be this

[21:59] sort of uh this kind of warm fuzzy at

[22:02] the end of a long cold winter. Now this

[22:04] is this huge big business. How many

[22:08] people are going to buy the magazine?

[22:09] Just more than usual.

[22:12] >> Uh usually about a 100,000 every week.

[22:16] This will reach around 5 million

[22:19] >> this new stamp. And what kind of uh and

[22:21] and and does it HBO does a show too and

[22:23] you sell videos from this too?

[22:25] >> Yes. And you can also buy the cassettes

[22:28] to look at it at home if you want to.

[22:30] >> Cuz I read somewhere the other day that

[22:31] one of one year they sold a half a mill

[22:34] you sold a half a million of these

[22:35] cassettes.

[22:35] >> A lot of them.

[22:36] >> Uh how do you decide what what to or not

[22:38] to put in? Because I'm looking through

[22:40] this magazine and I saw this one picture

[22:42] and I thought they wouldn't have done

[22:44] this when I was a kid.

[22:47] It just How do you decide what's in good

[22:49] or or not good taste?

[22:50] >> Uh work very hard uh to do something in

[22:54] good taste. But uh you put one or two

[22:56] teasers in there. You stir the pot a

[22:59] little bit.

[22:59] >> Stir the pot.

[23:00] >> That I call that the Valentine picture.

[23:02] >> The Oh, is it the one with the uh bumps?

[23:06] >> Wow.

[23:07] >> Which whatever.

[23:08] >> Okay. Well, listen. Good luck. And you

[23:10] know the best part, Mark and I agree.

[23:11] It's not necessarily the swimsuit issue,

[23:13] but two weeks later when all the letters

[23:14] come in.

[23:15] >> Oh, the letters. The letters are worth

[23:16] it.

[23:17] >> Thanks very much for joining us this

[23:18] morning. Congratulations. Good to see

[23:20] you. Thanks.
