[0:03] Historic voting in South Africa could

[0:05] mean the end of a part time. In this

[0:07] country, it's incumbent beware. After

[0:10] big upsets in Midwestern primaries and a

[0:14] big change for football fans across

[0:16] America, we'll tell you why it happened

[0:19] and what it means. This is the CBS

[0:22] Evening News.

[0:28] Good evening, Dan Rather reporting. The

[0:30] president of South Africa today

[0:31] pronounced apartheid dead. In an

[0:34] election landslide, white voters

[0:36] approved his negotiations to share power

[0:39] with the black majority. Correspondent

[0:41] Alan Bizzy covered South Africa's day of

[0:44] decision.

[0:45] >> He staked his political future and that

[0:47] his country on the outcome. Today,

[0:49] President FW declared a new South

[0:52] Africa. Today we have closed the book on

[0:56] apartheid and that chapter is finally

[0:59] closed.

[1:01] >> A whopping 68% of whites voted yes to

[1:04] political rights for blacks and in doing

[1:06] so gave up their self-anointed right to

[1:08] rule.

[1:09] >> It has brought our nation

[1:12] to a truly great moment.

[1:16] May we not lose this greatness.

[1:19] Each bold step he took to reach this

[1:21] moment brought dire warnings that the

[1:22] clerk was too far ahead of white

[1:24] thinking. Today he cautioned that the

[1:27] future is full of challenges. The going

[1:29] won't be easy.

[1:32] Even before the results were in, black

[1:34] trade unions marched on parliament. The

[1:36] referendum brought them a step closer to

[1:38] the hallowed halls of power. But black

[1:40] politics is still fought in the streets.

[1:43] 14 blacks died in political violence

[1:45] while white votes were being counted.

[1:48] Nelson Mandela congratulated the clerk

[1:50] but didn't share his enthusiasm.

[1:52] >> I still cannot vote in my own country

[1:55] and I cannot say that we have now begged

[1:58] goodbye to a party.

[2:01] >> Neo-Nazi leader Eugene Tblau said he

[2:04] would consult his generals on what to do

[2:06] next. That could mean right-wing

[2:08] terrorism. Humiliated conservatives

[2:11] claimed they were robbed and preached

[2:13] doom. They will now find out what it

[2:15] means to lose power and to have no power

[2:18] of your own to protect your own freedom.

[2:22] >> The aparite declared dead is more than a

[2:25] set of hateful laws. After 45 years,

[2:28] it's a mindset. Learning how to think

[2:31] differently will be as much a problem

[2:32] for South Africans as negotiating a new

[2:34] constitution. But they've decided to

[2:37] try. Alan Pezy, CBS News, Johannesburg.

[2:40] In the US presidential race, Republican

[2:42] Pat Buchanan is toning down what he has

[2:45] to say about President Bush. He has not

[2:47] quit the race entirely. Buchanan

[2:49] conceded today it would take, and I

[2:51] quote, celestial intervention to deny

[2:53] Mr. Bush renomination. You can see why

[2:55] in the latest delegate count. President

[2:57] Bush comes off the Illinois and Michigan

[2:59] primaries with a bigger lead than ever

[3:01] and closer than ever to the magic

[3:03] renomination number. On the Democratic

[3:05] side, Bill Clinton is way out front.

[3:07] Paul Song is way back at number two.

[3:09] Jerry Brown is barely a ripple in the

[3:11] delegate count, but as Richard Thrrell

[3:13] reports, the former California governor

[3:15] is determined to make a splash in the

[3:17] campaign.

[3:19] With close to half the delegates he now

[3:21] needs for the Democratic nomination,

[3:23] Bill Clinton allowed himself a little

[3:25] celebration time before returning to

[3:27] Arkansas to spend a couple of days being

[3:30] governor. Paul Sonis, whose prospects

[3:32] are looking grim, persevered in

[3:34] Connecticut today. Jerry Brown was in

[3:37] Milwaukee trying to parlay his success

[3:40] with union voters in Michigan.

[3:45] >> In just a week, Brown has become the

[3:47] pied piper of the Democratic protest

[3:49] vote, the angry populist who's declared

[3:51] guerilla war on the political system.

[3:54] >> A whole operation, Buchanan, Bush,

[3:57] Clinton, and Sus, they're all paid for.

[4:01] >> And it's working after a fashion. To me,

[4:04] he's not bought.

[4:06] >> The rest of them are bought by big

[4:07] dollars.

[4:08] >> The irony is that Brown himself is a

[4:10] millionaire lawyer and clever politician

[4:13] who spent most of his public life

[4:15] raising tens of millions of dollars for

[4:17] himself and other Democrats.

[4:19] >> They pass the rich, make them pay for

[4:20] the crisis.

[4:21] >> You got that right.

[4:22] >> But was then, this is now. He's running

[4:25] a bare bones campaign with an 800 number

[4:27] and a $100 limit on contributions that

[4:30] gets through tomorrow on today's

[4:32] receipts. Come on, Jerry.

[4:35] >> Instead of a flock of aids and advisers,

[4:37] Brown relies on his longtime friend,

[4:39] Jacques Barjagi, a one-time French

[4:41] filmmaker.

[4:43] >> No chartered jet planes, no fancy hotel

[4:46] rooms. Brown usually sleeps on

[4:48] somebody's living room couch. No matter.

[4:51] >> I don't care where anybody sleeps or who

[4:53] they sleep with. Matter of fact, just

[4:55] get this uh economy going again. Get us

[4:57] some jobs. Brown has prospered in the

[5:00] primaries by being different things to

[5:02] different people. He won in Colorado by

[5:05] campaigning in a turtleneck and

[5:06] Pendleton's and appealing to the

[5:08] environmental vote. In Michigan, he put

[5:11] on a union jacket as a friend of the

[5:13] working man and woman and came in

[5:15] second.

[5:16] >> The truth will set you free and the man

[5:17] is telling the truth.

[5:18] >> His critics say he's just an

[5:20] opportunist.

[5:21] >> You know, he reinvents himself every

[5:23] year or two.

[5:24] >> Totally unfair. They got to call me

[5:26] names. One way or the other, they're

[5:27] going to say Brown is different.

[5:30] He just won't play by the rules.

[5:32] >> Apparently, though, Brown will play by

[5:34] some rules. He has virtually no chance

[5:36] of winning the nomination, but he said

[5:38] he will not run as an independent in

[5:40] November. Something that's been worrying

[5:41] the Democratic establishment. Richard

[5:44] Thrrell, CBS News, Chicago.

[5:46] >> The political establishment, Republican

[5:48] and Democrat, has something else to

[5:50] worry about. A lot of incumbents are

[5:52] running scared after some ins were

[5:54] tossed out in Illinois last night.

[5:56] Correspondent Mark Phillips has more

[5:58] about the ins and outs of voter outrage.

[6:02] >> Congratulations.

[6:03] >> Congratulations.

[6:04] >> Thanks so much.

[6:05] >> In Chicago, where they say politics is a

[6:08] contact sport. A big winner was out

[6:10] making contact with her electorate

[6:12] today.

[6:13] >> This is just my way of coming out and

[6:14] saying thank you to the people.

[6:17] What Carol Mosley Braun did was win the

[6:19] Democratic primary for senator by

[6:21] knocking off a longestablished

[6:23] incumbent, sending a signal across the

[6:25] land that all this talk about an

[6:27] anti-incumbent mood is real. Brun was

[6:30] drafted to run against Alan Dixon during

[6:32] the Senate sorted Clarence Thomas

[6:34] nomination hearings. Dixon's fate was

[6:36] sealed when he supported the nomination.

[6:38] >> I thought he shouldn't have voted for

[6:40] his confirmation. Dixon voted for

[6:43] Thomas.

[6:46] That's it.

[6:47] >> The Brun victory was a stunner in

[6:49] Illinois and it stunned the political

[6:51] pros in Washington, too.

[6:53] >> Seems to me it's a warning for anyone

[6:54] who would vote against the interests of

[6:55] women. Uh whether it was the Thomas

[6:57] nomination, whether it's on choice, uh

[7:00] any of the daycare, any of the issues

[7:02] that women really care about.

[7:03] >> But incumbents have not just been losing

[7:05] on women's issues. For Charles Hayes, it

[7:07] was the congressional bank scandal. To

[7:10] me, this is more important to give

[7:12] people a chance to earn a living than

[7:16] whether or not we can spend our time

[7:18] tracking down people who might have a

[7:20] bank loan.

[7:21] >> Wrong. The voters threw him out.

[7:24] Incumbency used to be considered a huge

[7:26] advantage. Not this time.

[7:27] >> Experience has never counted for less. I

[7:30] mean, you should you should not say how

[7:31] long you've been in Congress. You should

[7:32] not be listing what your 25

[7:34] accomplishments have been. You ought to

[7:36] be talking about your reform oriented

[7:37] ideas and how it is you would change how

[7:40] Congress has operated.

[7:41] >> In the past, it's taken a major

[7:43] landslide like Reagan's in 1980 or a

[7:45] major scandal like Watergate to

[7:47] interrupt Congress's standard 95%

[7:50] re-election rate. There are a lot of

[7:51] people here today who think this could

[7:53] be one of those years. Mark Phillips,

[7:56] CBS News, Capitol Hill. Still ahead on

[7:58] tonight's CBS Evening News, genetic

[8:00] engineering gives new hope to victims of

[8:03] a serious lung disease. And it's down

[8:06] and out for football's instant replay

[8:09] room.

[8:15] This is regular. This is better. This

[8:17] bufferin is regular for headaches.

[8:18] Anisonin is better. Why better? Regular

[8:21] bufferin has one ingredient. Anisonin

[8:23] has two. A pain medicine plus a second

[8:25] ingredient that makes it work better.

[8:27] Get Andison. Get better.

[8:30] >> Excite your husband at a quality comfort

[8:32] clarion sleep hotel where weekend rates

[8:34] start at $29 a night. Men just love to

[8:37] save money.

[8:38] >> To qualify for special weekend rates,

[8:40] call 1 8004 choice and reserve a room.

[8:47] Your breakfast, sir. This new Kellogg's

[8:50] Frosted brand is quite sensible. Crispy

[8:52] flakes with whole wheat and bran

[8:54] slightly frosted for a taste. A taste

[8:57] that delicious. I love it. I love it.

[9:02] I love it.

[9:04] >> And new Kellogg's Frosted Brand has less

[9:06] sugar than you'd imagine. But the taste

[9:09] is out of We've got to stop serving

[9:12] this.

[9:12] >> New Kellogg's Frosted Brand. Wildly

[9:14] delicious, sensibly good.

[9:17] >> About 50,000 Americans have cystic

[9:19] fibrosis. It's an inherited illness that

[9:21] makes breathing difficult and painful.

[9:24] Life is cut short. There is no cure. But

[9:27] as CBS News health correspondent Edie

[9:29] Magnus reports tonight, with a

[9:30] remarkable new drug, many CF patients

[9:34] may soon be breathing easier. Some

[9:36] already are.

[9:39] Simple motions like riding a bike used

[9:41] to be all but impossible for Ian

[9:43] Ferguson until he started taking an

[9:46] experimental treatment which promises to

[9:48] dramatically improve his life and the

[9:50] lives of others who suffer from cystic

[9:52] fibrosis. Normally walking up a flight

[9:55] of stairs, I'm at least winded and

[9:57] sometimes I have even have to sit down.

[9:59] And here when I was doing the uh the

[10:02] protocol, I was able to basically jog up

[10:05] seven flights of stairs.

[10:07] >> Tonight, the first scientific results on

[10:09] this new genetically engineered drug

[10:11] called DNAs are in and they look good.

[10:14] Researchers say preliminary tests show

[10:16] DNAs taken as an inhalent is a safe and

[10:19] effective method of improving lung

[10:21] function. Now, it's not a cure for the

[10:22] disease, but it clearly is going to

[10:24] enable people with cystic fibrosis uh to

[10:27] lead more normal lives.

[10:28] >> Keep pushing that deep breath.

[10:32] >> What stops them from enjoying normal

[10:34] lives now is that their lungs are

[10:35] literally filled with thick, sticky

[10:37] mucus. It makes breathing difficult and

[10:39] forms a breeding ground for infection.

[10:42] The only conventional treatment

[10:43] available to break it all up is being

[10:45] pounded about the chest, sometimes

[10:47] several times a day. Now, studies show

[10:49] that DNA literally cuts through the

[10:52] mucus and dissolves it.

[10:53] >> Sort of a molecular scissors or

[10:55] molecular draano to clean the lungs.

[10:57] It's possible this may reduce the

[10:59] numbers of infections they have. And

[11:01] it's possible it might extend life.

[11:02] >> It's going to give us time. It's

[11:04] certainly going to buy us time.

[11:06] >> Time to continue work toward a cure.

[11:08] Time which is critical to those who have

[11:10] inherited cystic fibrosis. Their average

[11:12] life expectancy is 27 years. Ian chooses

[11:16] not to focus on all that. His goals are

[11:18] much simpler.

[11:20] >> Just being able to to do stuff without

[11:22] having to think, you know, now I can't I

[11:25] can't run across that field because I'm,

[11:27] you know, it'll wipe me out for the rest

[11:28] of the day.

[11:30] Studies are now underway to make sure

[11:31] the DNA can be tolerated safely over

[11:34] long periods of time. If so, its maker

[11:37] plans to file for approval to market it

[11:39] early next year. Dan,

[11:41] >> make sure there's no mistake. This isn't

[11:42] a cure for cystic fibrosis.

[11:44] >> That's right. This treats the symptoms.

[11:45] There are however efforts that are

[11:47] undergoing to find a cure. It involves

[11:49] gene therapy and it is hoped that one

[11:52] day doctors may be able to substitute

[11:54] good genes for the defective genes which

[11:56] cause cystic fibrosis.

[11:58] >> I see there is a new study out tonight

[12:00] about the safety of radiation treatments

[12:02] for breast cancer. It says that in women

[12:05] over age 44, radiation therapy on one

[12:08] breast does not increase the risk of

[12:11] cancer in the other breast. There is a

[12:14] somewhat greater risk for younger women,

[12:16] but not great enough to rule out

[12:18] radiation treatments

[12:21] >> from around the world. Now, more CBS

[12:23] news. In Argentina, the death toll is at

[12:26] least 12 in the bombing of the Israeli

[12:28] embassy. The pro Iranian Islamic Jihad

[12:30] claimed responsibility today, calling it

[12:32] revenge for Israel's killing of a Shiite

[12:35] leader in Lebanon last month. US air

[12:38] safety officials now say it was faulty

[12:40] wiring that caused the 1989 cargo door

[12:44] blowout on a United Airlines 747 near

[12:47] Hawaii. Nine passengers were sucked out

[12:49] of that plane. Officials originally

[12:52] blamed human error. And in New York,

[12:55] hotel magnet Leona Helmsley was visibly

[12:57] upset after losing her latest appeal to

[13:00] stay out of prison. A federal judge

[13:02] ordered Helmsley to begin serving four

[13:05] years for tax evasion on April 15th, tax

[13:08] deadline day.

[13:10] >> Stay with us now for more CBS news,

[13:12] including the story of a royal family

[13:14] feud. Andrew and Fergie on the fritz.

[13:25] I use a shampoo for dandruff, but my

[13:27] scalp still itches like crazy. You need

[13:29] new scalpison, the revolutionary scalp

[13:32] medicine for deep scalp itch, not

[13:34] ordinary dandruff. Scalpison is not a

[13:36] shampoo. It's a clear liquid you don't

[13:37] wash away like shampoo. Apply scalpison

[13:40] anytime for deep scalp itch relief with

[13:42] medicine chosen by dermatologists over

[13:44] all these dandruff shampoo formulas.

[13:46] Scalpison penetrates to relieve the itch

[13:48] and help prevent flaking. The itch is

[13:50] gone. New Scalpison, the scalp medicine

[13:53] for deep scalp itch. Everybody needs

[13:56] some money.

[13:57] >> $12 for every mile over the limit.

[13:59] >> That's 300 bucks.

[14:00] >> You can add fast, too. Next.

[14:02] >> To send someone money fast, call 1800

[14:05] Callash or come to any Western Union

[14:07] location. Western Union, the fastest way

[14:09] to send money.

[14:11] >> Hey, I'll stay home.

[14:13] >> Thank you for a lovely dinner.

[14:16] >> Aren't you going to ask me in

[14:19] >> for coffee?

[14:20] >> Well,

[14:22] I do have tasters choice.

[14:25] Then how can I refuse?

[14:27] >> Savor the sophisticated taste of

[14:29] Taster's Choice.

[14:32] >> Well,

[14:33] >> just one more cup.

[14:36] >> You uh said that two cups ago.

[14:38] >> You know how much I love your coffee.

[14:42] >> Then

[14:44] by all means,

[14:46] take it with you.

[14:55] You might think hard times can't touch

[14:57] your family. That's what they thought.

[14:59] How would you hang on to your American

[15:01] dream? 48 hours tonight.

[15:06] Under intense pressure from the West,

[15:08] Ukraine has reportedly reversed itself

[15:10] and is now ready to return all its

[15:13] tactical nuclear weapons to Russia. Last

[15:16] week, the president of Ukraine said he

[15:18] was suspending the shipments because he

[15:20] had no guarantee that Russia would

[15:22] destroy the warheads. But today, NATO

[15:25] said it has received assurances from

[15:27] Ukraine that the transfer will after all

[15:30] go ahead as scheduled. Another domestic

[15:33] blowup has hit the British royal family.

[15:35] No, not Princess Dye and Prince Charles

[15:37] this time. Prince Andrew and his wife

[15:39] Fergie reportedly are splitting after

[15:41] six years of marriage. Tom Fenton

[15:43] reports.

[15:45] The Duke and Duchess of York dodged

[15:47] Newsman today as they went their

[15:48] separate ways. It was all over the

[15:50] British papers. A royal marriage on the

[15:53] rocks.

[15:53] >> It's It's a bit of a shock really, isn't

[15:55] it?

[15:55] >> Yeah.

[15:56] >> Oh, yeah. I mean, people split up every

[15:57] day. I mean, we have a couple of times.

[15:58] So, you know,

[16:00] >> but this was no ordinary marriage. When

[16:02] the Queen's second son, Andrew, married

[16:04] Sarah Ferguson, they took on roles

[16:06] royals are supposed to play for life. At

[16:09] first, they seemed the model family,

[16:11] loving parents of two small daughters.

[16:13] But Andrew's career as a Navy pilot took

[16:15] him away for months at a time. Sarah

[16:18] found other interests in a jetet

[16:20] lifestyle that annoyed the public. She

[16:22] became paranoid about the press prying

[16:25] into her private life.

[16:26] >> I take a shredding machine around with

[16:28] me everywhere.

[16:29] >> Absolutely I do. No question. Everything

[16:31] is shredded. And I think that's very sad

[16:33] because you I mean Andrew used to write

[16:36] me wonderful letters from the ship. In

[16:38] January, the story broke of her

[16:40] friendship with Texas tycoon Steven

[16:42] Wyatt. Lawyers are now reportedly

[16:44] discussing a separation and who gets

[16:47] custody of the little princesses. The

[16:49] palace now faces a damage control

[16:51] problem. How to manage this crisis

[16:53] without further undermining the

[16:54] monarchy. The queen can only hope now

[16:56] that nothing happens to the remaining

[16:58] marriage that is the key to the future

[17:00] of the British throne. There are rumors

[17:03] of strains between Prince Charles and

[17:05] Princess Diana. Her words to a marriage

[17:07] counseling group may have had a hidden

[17:09] meaning.

[17:10] >> Sadly, for many of these marriages,

[17:13] reality fails to live up to

[17:15] expectations.

[17:17] Saddest of all may be the queen, whose

[17:19] family and dynasty are showing signs of

[17:22] falling apart. Tom Fenton, CBS News,

[17:25] London. Next up on the CBS Evening News,

[17:28] Eye on America. Tonight, a first. The

[17:31] government defends the civil rights of a

[17:33] worker who is HIV positive.

[17:44] This plant is in trouble.

[17:47] Maybe so are you.

[17:53] Because what will you do and how will

[17:56] you do it?

[18:02] with the one who guides you every step

[18:04] of the way.

[18:06] Ortho,

[18:07] it's our nature to help.

[18:13] >> So, in my interview, they told me how

[18:15] Dao can take all this coal and turn it

[18:17] into clean burning gas.

[18:19] >> Wouldn't that cut down on acid rain?

[18:21] >> You got it.

[18:21] >> Sounds like one serious job, son. I just

[18:24] wish it wasn't so far away. Got to miss

[18:28] you, Mike.

[18:29] >> Hey, take care of this for me.

[18:31] >> You can make a

[18:34] tomorrow.

[18:35] >> Son, show them what you got.

[18:37] >> Cuz I'll let you do great things.

[19:32] to no one but himself. No one. Well, he

[19:36] gets the results. And what happens next?

[19:38] That's tonight's Eye on America,

[19:40] reported by Rita Braver.

[19:44] >> He asked us to call him John Doe. He

[19:46] carries the AIDS virus. is HIV positive.

[19:49] Why should you have to feel the need in

[19:52] our society to hide who you are?

[19:55] >> People don't understand HIV and it's

[19:58] that that ignorance that that can be

[20:02] very dangerous at times.

[20:05] >> John Doe is a pharmacist is healthy, no

[20:08] aid symptoms. In 1986, he was offered

[20:11] and accepted a job at Westchester County

[20:13] Medical Center in New York State. But

[20:15] the clinic where he went for his

[20:17] employee physical turned out to be the

[20:19] same place where a year earlier he

[20:21] tested positive for AIDS. A nurse

[20:23] recognized him. I don't know what was

[20:25] going through her mind when she decided

[20:27] to um divulge information of such an

[20:31] incredibly personal and an important

[20:33] nature.

[20:34] >> And even though the test was supposed to

[20:35] be confidential, she told the doctor.

[20:38] His most pungent remark to me was that

[20:42] we or they or we're not going to hire a

[20:45] a pharmacist with AIDS.

[20:47] >> Where you know you have a person who

[20:50] presents a risk to the patient

[20:51] population. You're ethically and morally

[20:54] obligated not to place that person in a

[20:56] work assignment where he can pass on

[20:58] that infection to others.

[20:59] >> A pharmacist cannot pass on AIDS by

[21:01] handling or breathing on medicine. It

[21:04] can be transmitted only during

[21:05] preparation of intravenous medication.

[21:08] If the pharmacist pricks his finger with

[21:10] a needle, then inserts the needle into

[21:12] an IV bag. The hospital insists that's a

[21:15] real risk.

[21:16] >> I would be concerned if uh there was the

[21:19] virus in the blood that got into the bag

[21:22] could pose a danger. Yes.

[21:24] >> But most other scientists say it's

[21:26] almost impossible. The risk is so

[21:28] extremely remote that an HIV infected

[21:31] pharmacist could transmit that infection

[21:33] to a patient that we think it's

[21:35] inappropriate to have sanctions against

[21:38] employing HIV infected pharmacists. I

[21:40] had a gut feeling that that what

[21:43] happened should not have happened. I was

[21:45] in a panic cuz I was watching my life

[21:48] fall to pieces in front of my eyes.

[21:49] >> And in the very first case of its kind,

[21:52] the US government charged the hospital

[21:54] with violating John Doe's civil rights.

[21:56] It's important for us as a society for

[22:00] the federal government to stand up and

[22:01] say we're not going to tolerate HIV

[22:04] discrimination.

[22:05] >> The federal government says that the

[22:07] hospitals denying the job to John Doe is

[22:09] just as much discrimination as putting

[22:11] up a sign that says no women need apply

[22:14] or setting aside separate drinking

[22:16] fountains for blacks. We can't order the

[22:19] facility to hire the individual, but

[22:22] they we can um have them make a very

[22:25] difficult choice, which is either to

[22:27] hire the individual or to forsake all

[22:30] federal funds.

[22:31] >> That would mean losing all money for

[22:32] Medicaid and Medicare patients. $107

[22:35] million a year, nearly half the

[22:37] hospital's budget.

[22:39] >> It could lead to closure of the

[22:40] hospital. It would have a very uh

[22:42] disastrous impact. We have the only burn

[22:44] center in the area. We have the only

[22:47] neonatal intensive care unit in the

[22:49] area. And the list goes on and on.

[22:50] >> The case is now before an administrative

[22:52] judge, but no one thinks the story will

[22:55] end there.

[22:56] >> We've got a lot of people um who are HIV

[22:58] infected in our society. It's important

[23:00] for them that they um have the dignity

[23:03] of being able to work.

[23:04] >> It it boils down to one thing and and

[23:06] and that one thing is patient rights.

[23:09] Should it end up on the steps of the

[23:11] Supreme Court, I tend to be around to to

[23:13] watch the final ruling come down.

[23:15] >> And John Doe's case could become a

[23:17] landmark defining the rights of

[23:19] thousands of healthcare workers with the

[23:21] AIDS virus in Westchester County, New

[23:23] York. This is Rita Braver for Eye on

[23:26] America.

[23:51] The Isuzu Trooper

[23:52] >> right on time

[23:53] >> has been thoughtfully redesigned to

[23:55] include a new suspension system.

[23:56] >> Honey, pothole.

[23:58] >> I see it.

[23:58] >> Giving it an incredibly smooth, quiet

[24:00] ride on the road as well as off. Of

[24:02] course, these days, what's the

[24:04] difference?

[24:08] Draw from the facts.

[24:11] There's a way to maintain regularity

[24:14] without drugs.

[24:17] It starts here. A high-fiber diet, which

[24:20] can include Kellogg's all brand, an

[24:22] excellent source of wheat brand fiber,

[24:24] may help you stay regular, drug-free.

[24:27] And there's a lot to be said for that.

[24:29] Naturally,

[24:31] a high-fiber diet on Kellogg's all brand

[24:34] for drug-free regularity.

[24:37] >> Fingerman on location for the one and

[24:39] only Ziplo

[24:41] freezer burn. That's a chilling thought.

[24:43] To protect your food, there is nothing

[24:45] like Ziplock brand freezer bag. Ziplock

[24:48] has a gripper zipper. The only bag with

[24:50] tough tiny teeth. You can feel it

[24:52] gripping, so you know freshness is

[24:53] locked in, freezer burns locked out.

[24:56] That's a good feeling you only get from

[24:58] Ziplock.

[24:59] I got to get some gloves.

[25:02] For fresh food, there's only one Ziplo.

[25:09] Now arriving track 14.

[25:12] Imagine

[25:14] every day, everywhere you go, with every

[25:19] step you take, a pillowy cushion of

[25:22] softness. That's Dr. SH's unique

[25:25] two-layer airpillow insoles. One layer

[25:28] for shock, one for comfort. Dr. Scholes

[25:31] airpillow insoles. You'll feel better

[25:34] when the doctor is in.

[25:38] The National Football League team owners

[25:40] huddled today and called a reverse. They

[25:43] voted to stop using video replays to try

[25:46] to settle disputes on the field. A lot

[25:48] of fans like the replay, but referees,

[25:52] coaches, and the owners didn't. So, the

[25:54] owners say they'll go back to the

[25:55] pre-technological era, pre- video tape,

[25:58] and let the referees only rule. As Pat

[26:01] Summerall might say, correspondent

[26:02] Richard Roth audibleizes.

[26:04] >> They can block everyone else.

[26:06] >> Instant replay was supposed to add

[26:08] fairness to football on the theory that

[26:09] a camera never blinks, but officials on

[26:11] the field do all the time. Yet, critics

[26:14] complained it's amounted to a six-year

[26:15] experiment in high-tech second-guessing,

[26:18] spoiling the flow of the game, slowing

[26:20] the action, and still not ending all the

[26:22] arguments over controversial calls. In

[26:25] just the past Super Bowl, what field

[26:27] officials called a touchdown catch by

[26:29] Washington's Art Monk was ruled

[26:31] incomplete when the videotape showed he

[26:33] caught the ball with only one foot in

[26:35] bounds.

[26:36] >> A reversal. The Redskins easy win over

[26:38] Buffalo wasn't affected, but closer

[26:41] calls in other games made instant replay

[26:43] contentious. It took too long. Some

[26:45] argued stopping a game too often to

[26:48] micromanage an insignificant play. And

[26:50] it undercut the authority of the people

[26:52] on the field who made the calls first.

[26:55] >> I think it puts the human element back

[26:56] into the game because human beings are

[26:58] now deciding football games referees and

[27:01] not $179 videotape machines. It never

[27:04] took out all the human element. Of

[27:06] course, when Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson

[27:07] last year got angry enough to earn a

[27:09] reprimand, it was because the replays

[27:11] were all going against him. Still, the

[27:14] replay system has a lot of supporters.

[27:16] >> There's no question in my mind that an

[27:18] instant replay is excellent. We just

[27:20] have to perfect it

[27:21] >> and some fans. I think the replay is

[27:24] important. I think for decisions, you

[27:26] like especially plays like during the

[27:28] Super Bowl this year when they call back

[27:30] a touchdown. There are better ways that

[27:31] they could have implemented the instant

[27:33] replay, but I think overall it's good

[27:35] for football, so I'm sorry to see them

[27:37] drop it.

[27:37] >> The decision by the NFL owners means

[27:40] that field referees will have the final

[27:42] say again. And since network TV's

[27:44] instant replays aren't affected at all,

[27:46] the major role in secondguing will once

[27:49] again go back to the fans.

[27:51] >> Richard Roth, CBS News, Los Angeles.

[27:54] >> And that's part of our world tonight.

[27:56] Coming up on this CBS station in the

[27:58] hour before your late local news, 48

[28:01] hours. If hard times hit your family,

[28:03] what would you do to survive? An

[28:05] emotional struggle to save the American

[28:07] dream on 48 hours. Hanging tough tonight

[28:10] at 10 9 central time. Dan Rather, I'll

[28:14] see you

[28:17] with Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and

[28:19] Louis Armstrong in High Society.

[28:23] Spring for Bing and OPB Friday night.

[28:26] It's where you belong.

[28:29] >> Now we getting warm.
