[0:01] As Saddam Hussein dares the UN, the

[0:04] Pentagon prepares for a possible air

[0:06] strike against Iraq. Murder charges

[0:09] against the so-called suicide doctor are

[0:12] dismissed.

[0:13] >> The ball is in the court of the medical

[0:14] profession. This is the way it's always

[0:16] should have been.

[0:18] >> And Eye on America tonight, teaching

[0:20] teenagers how to avoid a runin with the

[0:23] police.

[0:24] >> My name is John Doe.

[0:25] >> John Doe. YOU GOT TO BE A JOHN DOE. John

[0:27] Doe. This is the CBS Evening News.

[0:36] >> Good evening, Dan Rather reporting.

[0:38] Spokesman for President Bush have begun

[0:40] talking up the possibility of new US air

[0:43] strikes against Saddam Hussein. The air

[0:45] raids, it is said, would be in response

[0:48] to Saddam's defiance of UN weapons

[0:50] inspectors. Correspondent Jim Stewart is

[0:52] tracking developments at the Defense

[0:54] Department.

[0:56] The Pentagon is reviewing plans for US

[0:58] aircraft to join in a multinational air

[1:01] strike against Iraq, where a tense

[1:03] standoff is underway outside its

[1:04] agricultural ministry, believed by UN

[1:06] inspectors to be a weapons research

[1:08] facility. Sources say Iran Saddam

[1:11] Hussein appears ready to suffer the blow

[1:14] in a bold gamble that the US-led

[1:16] coalition that defeated him last year

[1:17] has grown weary and lost its nerve. An

[1:20] air strike, one or two or three really

[1:22] would do nothing compared to the ugly

[1:24] crimes committed daily against the Iraq

[1:26] people.

[1:26] >> The plans call for US F-17 and F-15s

[1:30] based in Saudi Arabia to join with other

[1:32] coalition aircraft for a series of

[1:34] punitive raids. US naval forces led by

[1:36] the aircraft carriers Saratoga in the

[1:38] Mediterranean and the Independence and

[1:40] the Persian Gulf are also on hand. The

[1:43] strike plans are awaiting final action

[1:44] by the UN Security Council, an

[1:47] international blessing seen as key to

[1:48] any US military involvement.

[1:50] >> Our actions in the Persian Gulf have

[1:52] consistently been uh through

[1:55] multinational efforts, including the UN

[1:58] and the coalition that was formed.

[2:00] >> Targets would include communications

[2:01] facilities, bridges, and possibly the

[2:03] agricultural ministry itself. President

[2:06] Bush insisted today that the Iraqis

[2:08] comply. The Iraqis responded that

[2:10] they've had enough of inspections.

[2:12] >> Today you have the office of the

[2:13] minister inspected and tomorrow the

[2:16] office of the president will be

[2:17] inspected. And so it's a matter of

[2:18] accumulation rather than a bonafide

[2:20] inspection.

[2:21] >> Rumors swept the Middle East again today

[2:23] that Saddam was dead, the victim of an

[2:25] assassination. But reports from inside

[2:27] Iraq indicate otherwise and portray him

[2:30] as still very much the man in charge.

[2:32] This latest game of brinksmanship is not

[2:34] without risk for the UN coalition as

[2:36] well, which still has troops and

[2:38] inspectors inside Iraq. Any act of

[2:40] retribution against them for an air

[2:42] strike suggested one source would bring

[2:44] on a no holes barred response

[2:46] reminiscent of the Persian Gulf War. Jim

[2:48] Stewart, CBS News, the Pentagon. More

[2:51] tonight about aid sent to Saddam Hussein

[2:53] before the Gulf War by the Bush

[2:55] administration. CBS News has been told

[2:57] that Democratic Congressman Henry

[2:59] Gonzalez of Texas now has a document

[3:02] which he says proves that the president

[3:04] and his administration sent equipment to

[3:06] Iraq which they knew could be used in

[3:09] Saddam's nuclear weapons program. This

[3:12] despite repeated official denials by the

[3:15] State Department that the United States

[3:17] was involved in exporting equipment that

[3:19] could be used for atomic weapons.

[3:21] Gonzalez will tell Congress tonight that

[3:23] in fact the president and those around

[3:25] him knew a great deal about Saddam's

[3:27] nuclear weapons program long before Iraq

[3:30] invaded Kuwait and decided to go ahead

[3:32] and ship the stuff anyway. In Cairo

[3:35] today, the first summit between Israeli

[3:37] and Egyptian leaders in 6 years, Egypt's

[3:39] President Hashnu Mubarak met with

[3:41] Israel's new prime minister, Yetsak

[3:43] Rabin. Afterward, Mubarak praised

[3:46] Ravine's freeze on new settlements in

[3:48] the West Bank, and the Egyptian

[3:50] president accepted an invitation to

[3:51] visit Israel. At the World AIDS

[3:54] Conference, US health experts huddled

[3:56] today about the newest AIDS concern. Is

[4:00] there a new and undetectable strain of

[4:03] the disease? And what about a possible

[4:05] vaccine? Health correspondent Edie

[4:07] Magnus is at the conference in

[4:09] Amsterdam, and she has the latest

[4:10] tonight on what the experts know and

[4:12] don't know.

[4:14] The virus mystery deepened today, dogged

[4:17] by questions about published reports of

[4:19] a possible new or mutant AIDS virus. US

[4:22] experts called a special session. Dr.

[4:24] Jeffrey Lawrence confirmed he's found

[4:27] five cases of people who have a disease

[4:28] that looks a lot like AIDS, but have no

[4:31] sign of the known HIV viruses.

[4:34] >> This is exceedingly rare. We have been

[4:36] looking for this for years.

[4:37] >> Then federal officials had to confirm

[4:39] they've seen these strange cases, too.

[4:41] Six of them. But they aren't worried.

[4:43] >> We didn't feel that uh when we learned

[4:46] of these some of these cases several

[4:48] months ago, there was a need to alert

[4:50] the American public and the world as to

[4:53] the existence of these cases.

[4:54] >> Curran said there's no evidence there's

[4:56] a stealth virus out there undetectable

[4:59] and a potential threat to the blood

[5:00] supply. And he stressed the cases are so

[5:03] rare. But then other doctors came

[5:05] forward. They've seen the same age-like

[5:08] syndrome, too. We're quite confident

[5:10] they're not the usual cases of HIV1 or

[5:13] HIV 2.

[5:14] >> The whole thing clearly rattled the US

[5:16] health establishment which promised to

[5:18] investigate further but repeated no one

[5:20] should worry.

[5:21] >> The information we've heard today does

[5:22] not in any way raise any concerns about

[5:26] uh a renewed threat to the safety of

[5:28] blood for transfusion. All of this took

[5:31] attention away from what promised to be

[5:33] one of the more exciting aspects of this

[5:35] conference, vaccine research, which

[5:37] appears to be inching forward with some

[5:39] success. This year's star candidate, a

[5:42] vaccine given to patients already

[5:44] infected with the virus, but who have

[5:46] not yet developed full-blown disease.

[5:48] Initial trials show the so-called

[5:50] therapeutic vaccine considerably

[5:53] lessened the amount of virus in their

[5:54] bodies, helping to stabilize their

[5:56] immune systems. Well, these are quite

[5:58] striking, significant uh real

[6:01] reproducible observations.

[6:03] >> And preventative vaccines appear to have

[6:06] passed critical safety tests.

[6:08] Researchers caution the first ones out

[6:10] there may not be 100% effective, but

[6:12] waiting for a winner would be a mistake.

[6:15] >> We shouldn't wait to find the ideal

[6:17] vaccine. A less than perfect vaccine

[6:19] will do more to prevent infections than

[6:22] waiting several years to find the

[6:24] perfect vaccine. As today's events made

[6:26] clear, a vaccine can't come too soon.

[6:29] The dangers of this epidemic, real or

[6:32] imagined, continue to frighten everyone.

[6:35] Edie Magnus, CBS News, Amsterdam.

[6:38] >> This country's most outspoken advocate

[6:40] of doctorass assisted suicide won a big

[6:42] one today in Michigan. Dr. Jack Kavorian

[6:45] will not stand trial for murder after

[6:47] all, for helping sick patients die.

[6:50] Jazelle Fernandez has more about the

[6:51] doctor and the law.

[6:54] Dr. Jack Kavorian called today's ruling

[6:56] an ethical victory that will only fuel

[6:58] his crusade, one he adamantly believes

[7:01] is a mission of mercy, not murder. For

[7:04] the second time, Kavorian beat

[7:05] first-degree murder charges for helping

[7:07] chronically ill patients and their

[7:09] lives. The charges involved two Michigan

[7:11] women who videotaped their desires to

[7:13] die and their gratitude to the men who

[7:16] would make it possible.

[7:18] >> What is it you want? Put it in.

[7:20] >> Yeah, I want I want to die. Kaborin was

[7:24] present during the deaths, but did not

[7:26] trigger the devices. In Michigan, there

[7:29] is no law that makes assisted suicide a

[7:31] crime, so the judge dropped the charges.

[7:33] He did though ask not order the doctor

[7:36] to stop his mission until legislation is

[7:38] passed. A request vehemently denied.

[7:41] >> You're going to watch a s person suffer

[7:42] and keep suffering and suffering and

[7:44] dying in agony because somebody's

[7:46] debating this problem. There is a

[7:48] problem. We all agree on that. Any

[7:50] rational person would. If there's a

[7:52] problem, I implore my colleagues to come

[7:54] forward and do something.

[7:56] >> To Kavorin, that means integrating

[7:58] supervised suicides into mainstream

[8:00] medicine. But is America ready?

[8:03] >> We have a long way to go before we

[8:05] really reach a consensus about whether

[8:08] physicians should actively kill? We're

[8:10] not at the end of that debate. Kavorian

[8:13] wants to act as if we are and take the

[8:15] law and medical ethics into his own

[8:17] hands. He can't. But this woman, whose

[8:20] battle with cancer had her once

[8:21] contemplating suicide, strongly believes

[8:24] in Kaborian's work. Living or dying, she

[8:27] says, must be a personal choice.

[8:29] >> It's up to an individual. Pain is

[8:32] different for every person. What's

[8:34] tolerable for one person is not

[8:35] tolerable for another person. What is a

[8:38] quality of life for one person is a

[8:40] non-quality of life for another person.

[8:43] >> Prosecutors tonight say they will appeal

[8:44] the ruling. The American Medical

[8:46] Association says medical ethics are

[8:48] clear that doctors cannot intentionally

[8:50] cause death under any circumstances. But

[8:53] in a recent survey, most Americans

[8:55] believe doctors should have that right

[8:56] if that's what the patient wants. Dan

[8:59] >> Jazelle Fernandez. Thanks. Still ahead

[9:01] on tonight's CBS Evening News, faces of

[9:04] doubt as the government predicts

[9:05] economic improvement again and a real

[9:09] life Romeo and Juliet in a love story

[9:12] from a war zone.

[9:20] I mean, I've had some pretty good

[9:22] cereals in my time, but trouble with

[9:24] this cereal, it got no soul. I mean, it

[9:27] needs something to make it sing. All you

[9:30] got are flakes in a bowl.

[9:36] I should have put this in before my

[9:38] mouth. Simple, crispy. It's good. All

[9:41] right. Kellogg's cornflakes.

[9:43] >> Kellogg's cornflakes.

[9:46] >> You're singing to me, baby.

[9:47] >> Taste them again for the first time.

[9:50] Nighttime. One of the worst times for

[9:52] pain. Minor arthritis pain. Muscle

[9:55] aches. Pain that seems to go on. That's

[9:57] why you need Ultra Strength Ben Gay. The

[9:59] strongest Ben Gay ever. You can say good

[10:02] night to your pain with Ultra Strength

[10:03] Ben Gay. There's a certain itch that's

[10:06] so private, most people will only

[10:09] discuss it with their doctor.

[10:10] Fortunately, now you can get new Anusol

[10:13] HC-1 ointment

[10:15] over-the-counter with the same

[10:17] prescription strength doctors have

[10:18] prescribed most.

[10:22] What could very well decide the

[10:23] presidential election is jobs and behind

[10:26] that the overall economy. Everyone is

[10:28] asking when does the job market pick up?

[10:30] When is the economy going to get better?

[10:32] Today, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan

[10:34] Greenspan gave his election year answer.

[10:36] Money correspondent Ray Briggy has our

[10:38] report.

[10:39] central tendencies of

[10:41] >> in his midyear report to Congress, the

[10:43] Federal Reserve chairman tried to put a

[10:45] bright face on the economy, predicting

[10:47] that it will slowly pick up speed.

[10:50] >> The economic expansion is likely to

[10:52] strengthen moderately to a range of 2

[10:55] and 3/4 to 3%.

[10:57] >> But that kind of slow growth in an

[10:59] election year would make only a small

[11:02] dent in the number of jobless Americans.

[11:04] So Greenspan's optimism brought an

[11:07] unusually tough reaction from members of

[11:09] the Senate Banking Committee.

[11:11] >> You said the same thing last year to us

[11:13] and and what is happening is people in

[11:15] the country don't have any confidence

[11:17] anymore. You and the rest of the group

[11:19] are in this ivory tower and you don't

[11:20] know what's taking place in Main Street.

[11:23] >> In an effort to help things along on

[11:25] Main Street, the Federal Reserve has cut

[11:27] interest rates 23 times over the past 3

[11:30] years. The strategy was this. If you get

[11:33] interest rates low enough, people will

[11:35] spend money again and that will pick up

[11:36] the whole economy.

[11:39] >> WHEN DO WE WANT?

[11:41] >> BUT TALK to workers protesting all those

[11:43] job cuts coming at General Motors.

[11:46] >> We will NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT.

[11:49] WE'RE GOING TO GO DOWN FIGHTING.

[11:52] >> They'll give you one reason lower

[11:54] interest rates aren't getting Americans

[11:56] to spend.

[11:56] >> If my job is threatened, I don't take

[11:58] money out of my pocket. I keep it,

[12:01] >> you know. I I don't spend it.

[12:03] >> Number one is is job. The economy is

[12:05] really bad and people are not working.

[12:08] >> While Greenspan did predict some drop in

[12:10] unemployment, he was less optimistic

[12:12] when asked the question that's bothering

[12:15] many.

[12:15] >> Is unemployment apt to go to 8%.

[12:18] >> Is it?

[12:19] >> Yes.

[12:20] >> I really don't know. I certainly hope

[12:22] not. An answer that's no consolation for

[12:25] workers like these facing the loss of

[12:27] their jobs at a time when few new jobs

[12:30] are opening up. Ray Brady, CBS News, New

[12:34] York. And nearly 900 more American can

[12:38] say adios to their jobs. Smith Corona

[12:40] announced today that it's moving its

[12:42] manufacturing operations to Mexico where

[12:44] labor is a lot cheaper. That means

[12:46] typewriters which were invented in the

[12:48] United States will no longer be made

[12:53] CBS Evening News, including a mafia

[12:55] slaughter and a demand for justice.

[13:05] >> Morning breath.

[13:06] >> Once you're married, you get used to it.

[13:08] >> Deep down, you know it's a problem.

[13:10] >> I don't smell anything.

[13:12] >> Lucky you.

[13:13] >> Morning breath. If I had it, they'd tell

[13:16] me.

[13:16] >> Dad,

[13:17] >> ignoring morning breath won't make it go

[13:18] away. Scope will. Its two powerful

[13:21] ingredients kill 90% of the bacteria

[13:23] that cause morning breath.

[13:25] >> Was my morning breath really a big

[13:27] problem?

[13:30] >> There's no denying it's a problem. Kiss

[13:32] morning breath goodbye with Scope.

[13:35] >> In our universe, there is always the

[13:36] unknown, the unpredictable. All we can

[13:39] do is prepare for it. AT&T is now

[13:42] installing Fastar. It can detect a cable

[13:44] cut instantly, so 800 calls can get back

[13:47] in minutes instead of hours. We can send

[13:49] flowers for any occasion, anywhere, but

[13:51] only if our 800 service is up and

[14:46] The FBI offered today to help the

[14:48] Italian government track down the

[14:49] mobsters who assassinated a top

[14:51] prosecutor in Sicily. Correspondent Bert

[14:54] Quint has more tonight on what's shaping

[14:55] up to be an allout war between Italy and

[14:58] the mafia.

[15:02] Thousands of enraged Sicilians demanded

[15:05] justice today as five murdered cops were

[15:08] laid to rest. They blamed Italy's

[15:10] political establishment as well as the

[15:12] mafia for the latest slaughter on the

[15:14] streets of Polarmo.

[15:18] The target was Polmo's chief prosecutor,

[15:21] Paulo Borcelino, who will be buried

[15:23] later this week. The mafia blew him

[15:26] apart by remote control along with his

[15:29] five police escorts on his mother's

[15:31] doorstep on Sunday. It was a horrible

[15:34] replay of the killing of Italy's top

[15:36] mafia buster Giovanni Falconee here less

[15:39] than two months ago. Apparently, it was

[15:42] revenge for their jailing dozens of

[15:44] mafia leaders and a warning to Rome to

[15:47] keep its hands off Sicily.

[15:49] >> The mafia wants simply to show that

[15:52] indeed it has the absolute control of

[15:56] the territory. It's no secret the mafia

[15:59] has been part of Italy's political,

[16:01] industrial, and commercial establishment

[16:03] for decades. Now threatened by a few

[16:06] investigators like Falconee and

[16:08] Borcelino and some political reformers,

[16:11] it has become more violent than ever.

[16:13] Italian officials are fighting back.

[16:15] They've transferred mafia bigwigs from a

[16:18] Palmo prison where they used to issue

[16:20] orders through visiting relatives to a

[16:22] lonely fortress called Italy's Devil's

[16:25] Island. Some political leaders are

[16:27] suggesting modified martial law for

[16:29] Sicily, but someone has to enforce the

[16:32] laws. And as long as parliament and

[16:34] local city halls are riddled with people

[16:37] who owe their jobs to the mafia,

[16:39] Italians are likely to keep on shouting

[16:42] in vain for justice.

[18:38] with Harry Smith and Paul.

[18:43] >> It is the job of the police to protect

[18:45] us from crime and make us safe in our

[18:47] neighborhoods. They're the first people

[18:48] we call when we're in trouble. They

[18:50] should be, most of them try to be our

[18:53] best friends. Why then is there so much

[18:55] animosity between the police and some

[19:20] minority teens, see a badge, they often

[19:41] point.

[19:42] >> You have to prepare yourself. We're

[19:43] always on the defensive. When we pull

[19:45] somebody over, we have to thank the

[19:46] worst.

[19:47] >> I think they're scared, but then we're

[19:49] scared also. So, if you have a group of

[19:51] scared people together, you never know

[19:52] what could happen.

[19:55] >> It's a fear director John Singleton

[19:57] captured in Boys in the Hood.

[19:58] >> You got any drugs or weapons on you?

[20:00] >> No.

[20:03] >> I didn't do nothing.

[20:06] >> You think you tough? It's a fear which

[20:09] kids who want to stay out of trouble,

[20:11] collegebound kids, often cannot escape.

[20:14] >> I feel like I'm violated. It's like, you

[20:16] know, I'm not even a citizen. You know,

[20:19] you know, I feel like I'm just nothing.

[20:21] That's how they made me feel.

[20:23] >> Inner City Life psychiatrists say it's

[20:25] filled with stress. Violence on the

[20:27] streets, poverty, despair. Repeated

[20:29] conflicts with the cops just add to the

[20:31] stress and may sometimes scar a child

[20:34] for life.

[20:36] >> The child is stuck. He doesn't have

[20:37] anything to show from his environment

[20:40] and then whenever he meets the outside

[20:42] world, he's told he's no good. Uh, that

[20:46] wears people down.

[20:47] >> Keep your hands up there. What's your

[20:48] name, guy?

[20:49] >> I don't have a name.

[20:50] >> You don't have a name.

[20:51] >> A group of public defenders who work in

[20:53] Harlem is trying to break the cycle.

[20:55] >> What's your name?

[20:55] >> My name is John Doe.

[20:57] >> John Doe.

[20:58] >> YOU'RE GOING TO BE A JOHN DOE. John Doe.

[20:59] >> Is that how you'd respond on the street?

[21:01] They're going into high schools,

[21:03] community centers, and churches,

[21:04] teaching kids how to avoid getting

[21:06] arrested by having them act out real

[21:08] encounters with police. Is

[21:10] >> your name Brandon Anderson?

[21:12] >> Encounters that went bad. you got.

[21:17] >> We hope that what they take away is a

[21:19] sense to maintain their cool, to think,

[21:22] not to talk back, and even if they feel

[21:25] they're being treated unfairly, even if

[21:27] they think the police officer is in the

[21:29] wrong, not to get into a fight about it.

[21:31] If you try and answer disrespect with

[21:34] disrespect, you will lose on the street

[21:36] with a police officer.

[21:38] >> For the cops, however, it's more than a

[21:40] matter of disrespect. It's a matter of

[21:42] life and death. My adrenaline's pumping.

[21:45] I got my stucco pumping. I'm about to

[21:47] kill me something. A pig stop me for

[21:50] nothing.

[21:51] >> St. Louis County police officer Mark

[21:53] Morell is afraid rap songs like Cop

[21:55] Killer are egging kids on.

[21:58] >> There's no need for it. You know, this

[22:00] is what causes the tensions between the

[22:03] teenagers and the police.

[22:05] >> But it's not just the kids on the street

[22:06] who need education.

[22:08] >> Prejudice is always there, even for

[22:11] children.

[22:12] >> Here in St. Lewis. The Anti-Defamation

[22:14] League is training cops to recognize

[22:16] prejudice and discrimination and

[22:18] eliminate them.

[22:19] >> I'll tell you the truth. I walked around

[22:20] for a long time with a real case of

[22:22] prejudice for young black males.

[22:25] >> It was hard to let go of

[22:27] >> a lot of this u discrimination against

[22:29] us as police officers. They don't even

[22:31] know us. I just think that's wrong.

[22:34] >> It's just my job. That's all. Nothing

[22:36] personal. But of course, hopefully I can

[22:38] reach those few that I can break

[22:40] through. Maybe get the word out that

[22:42] we're not all not out to get them.

[22:44] >> Are we communicating here?

[22:45] >> Even in these classes, the lawyers and

[22:47] the students, the cops and their

[22:49] teachers know they're fighting an uphill

[22:51] battle. This battle, however, may save

[22:55] lives in New York. I'm Jacqueline Adams

[22:58] for Eye on America.

[23:08] You've been dieting with a very special

[23:11] day in mind, which could mean you're not

[23:13] getting your daily amount of protein

[23:15] because many foods that provide protein

[23:18] are also high in fat. But not this one.

[23:21] Kellogg Special K, the only cereal

[23:24] that's fat-ree and a good source of

[23:26] protein. So make Special K part of your

[23:29] future plans and get into that dress

[23:31] you've been dying to wear. Kellogg

[23:34] Special K. Get the protein, lose the

[23:37] fat. You probably think the best

[23:40] American car value is some little econo

[23:42] box you have to settle for, right? Nope.

[23:45] It's a Buick. The luxurious Buick Park

[23:48] Avenue. That's according to the complete

[23:50] car cost guide. They calculated the

[23:52] 5-year cost of depreciation, financing,

[23:55] insurance, fuel, maintenance, and

[23:57] repairs, and found that Park Avenue is

[23:59] the best American car value. For a free

[24:02] reprint from the complete car cost

[24:04] guide, call 1800 for a Buick.

[24:08] After examining, testing, analyzing,

[24:12] it's a fact. You can buy new Preparation

[24:15] Hydrocortisone cream with the maximum

[24:17] strength available without a

[24:19] prescription. It has a level of medicine

[24:21] that was prescribed by doctors for

[24:23] years. New Preparation Hydrocortisone

[24:26] Cream. It's new. It's maximum strength

[24:30] and it effectively relieves problem

[24:32] itch. New Preparation Hydrocortisone

[24:34] Cream. prescription strength without a

[24:36] prescription.

[24:38] >> I was really downing those tablets.

[24:42] >> Come on, they're not candy.

[24:45] I started to think there was something

[24:46] really wrong with my stomach.

[24:50] Was I relieved when my doctor told me to

[24:52] try a new ant acid tablet?

[24:54] >> Introducing Milanta tablets. Shown to

[24:57] neutralize more stomach acid than the

[25:00] leading tablet.

[25:02] >> Unbelievable. New Milanta tablets.

[25:05] >> My doctor said myanta.

[25:09] >> A UN committee ruled today that athletes

[25:11] from Yugoslavia will be banned from

[25:13] competing as a team at the summer

[25:15] Olympics. They will be allowed to

[25:17] compete as individuals. The ban is part

[25:20] of UN sanctions against Yugoslavia for

[25:22] its aggression in Bosnia. We have a

[25:25] story from inside the wartorrn city of

[25:27] Sievo tonight. A love story. Bob Simon

[25:30] found two people who managed to

[25:32] transcend the ethnic rivalries that have

[25:35] torn their country apart.

[25:39] People in Sievo defy the guns and the

[25:42] siege by keeping their city alive. For 3

[25:45] months, their buses have been running.

[25:47] Their newspapers have kept coming out.

[25:49] And at noon the other day, Deir and Bina

[25:52] walked into a battered city hall to get

[25:55] married.

[25:56] With Serbian armies trying to cleanse

[25:58] this city of its mixed ethnic groupings,

[26:01] Demir and Bilana staged their private

[26:03] revolt. Bilana is a Serb. Deir a Croat.

[26:07] Romeo and Juliet are alive and well.

[26:10] Sable.

[26:14] >> The brief ceremony was accompanied by

[26:16] the strains of an air raid siren.

[26:21] >> While a few blocks away, other services

[26:24] were in progress. These observances were

[26:26] also mixed. The Muslim graveyard is in a

[26:29] hopelessly exposed part of town. So

[26:32] these days, Christians, Muslims, and

[26:34] Jews are all buried together.

[26:42] >> Deir and Bina planned to get married in

[26:44] the fall, but moved up the date because

[26:46] they were afraid the war would tear them

[26:48] apart.

[26:49] >> We are mixed.

[26:51] >> Mixed marriage like we say here.

[26:53] >> No. And uh

[26:55] If we are not married, he's she's part

[26:59] of her family and I'm part of my family.

[27:01] You know,

[27:02] >> Bina's mother apologized for the Spartan

[27:05] wedding party. There was no electricity,

[27:08] no meat for the Barcas. But there was an

[27:11] island of sanity here, surrounded by

[27:13] Serbs and madness. Outside their living

[27:16] room, mere anarchy was being unleashed

[27:19] upon their world. Today, it gave new

[27:22] meaning to the old phrase shotgun

[27:24] wedding.

[27:26] >> I have two loads of the skirt I wore

[27:28] yesterday. I almost got killed when we

[27:30] were walking to the the office to uh try

[27:33] to arrange everything for the wedding.

[27:36] That's everyday life here.

[27:39] >> What the wedding guests say they cannot

[27:40] comprehend is how the Europeans and the

[27:43] Americans can sit around and watch this

[27:45] happen. A month ago, a local poet wrote

[27:48] the lyrics to what has become the theme

[27:51] song of the siege.

[27:54] The more I think, the less I understand.

[27:57] Find someone else to sing to you.

[28:00] Without Sieo, there can be no song.

[28:06] >> Bob Simon, CBS News, Sieo.

[28:11] >> The more I think, the less I understand.
