[0:00] high of on Friday, 80, and overnight low

[0:02] of 50 on Saturday. What a pleasant thing

[0:05] to tell you all. Have a great evening,

[0:07] everybody. We'll see you tomorrow

[0:08] morning at 9:00.

[0:17] On World News tonight this Monday, the

[0:19] NATO campaign against the Serbs, the

[0:21] president wants $6 billion more.

[0:23] Hardware, software, the internet, a very

[0:26] bad day for technology on the stock

[0:28] market. Millions of people on Medicare

[1:34] dropped a total of nine 500-lb bombs on

[1:38] the two different convoys. And it is

[1:40] possible there were civilian casualties

[1:42] at both locations.

[1:44] For the first time, NATO showed the gun
