[0:00] Nashville.

[0:03] >> This is the CBS Evening News with Walter

[0:06] Kankite and tonight part two of a

[0:09] special report, the Pakistani Islamic

[0:11] bomb. Good evening. President Carter

[0:14] today disclosed details of his national

[0:17] healthc care proposal and the stage

[0:19] immediately was set for a legislative

[0:21] battle involving conflicting plans by

[0:23] Senator Long, who favors less, and

[0:26] Senator Kennedy, who wants more. Mary

[0:28] Sarapin has details.

[0:33] >> While still advocating comprehensive

[0:35] national health insurance, the president

[0:37] is only asking initially that Congress

[0:38] approved the first phase of such a

[0:40] program. Even that is a something for

[0:42] everyone approach. It calls for

[0:44] cost-free prenatal delivery and firstear

[0:47] care for mothers and their babies.

[0:49] Medicare for the aged and disabled and

[0:51] Medicaid for the poor would be merged.

[0:53] The government would set the fees

[0:54] doctors could charge. No such rates

[0:56] would be set in the private sector where

[0:58] employers would be required to provide

[1:00] insurance protecting employees from the

[1:02] high costs of catastrophic illness or

[1:04] injury. Coverage would begin when a

[1:07] worker's medical expenses reach $2,500.

[1:11] Senate Finance Committee Chairman

[1:12] Russell Long is proposing a plan limited

[1:14] to catastrophic coverage. Senator Edward

[1:16] Kennedy wants enactment of a total

[1:18] so-called cradle to grave health

[1:19] insurance program. Federal and private

[1:22] cost estimates vary with interpretation,

[1:24] but the overall price tag for Long's

[1:26] plan is put at about $7 billion. For

[1:29] President Carter's plan, $18.3 billion.

[1:32] And for Kennedy's proposal, 35.7

[1:34] billion. The president and HW Secretary

[1:37] Calfano say Congress won't swallow a

[1:39] plan that big in one bite. No child of

[1:42] poverty, no elderly American, no middle

[1:47] class family has yet benefited from a

[1:50] rigid and unswerving commitment to this

[1:52] principle of all or nothing.

[1:55] >> There's no more chance of uh of passing

[1:57] a total oneshot national health plan on

[2:00] the basis of my consultations than there

[2:02] is of putting an elephant through a

[2:04] keyhole. Differences between the White

[2:06] House and Senator Kennedy are reinforced

[2:08] by Kennedy's potential political

[2:10] challenge to President Carter. Uh

[2:12] >> I think one of the principal reasons

[2:14] that we've been unable to enact it is

[2:15] because we didn't have a president who

[2:17] was strongly committed to it.

[2:19] >> Kennedy called the administration

[2:21] approach inadequate, inequitable, and

[2:23] inflationary. There are a number of

[2:25] other health insurance proposals in

[2:26] Congress by Democrats and Republicans.

[2:29] President Carter's plan will intensify

[2:31] the debate, but the prospects for

[2:33] congressional action are uncertain at

[2:35] best. Barry Sarafan, CBS News, Capitol

[2:38] Hill.

[2:47] >> Of all the ranges [music] and microwave

[2:49] ovens, does any one name really stand

[2:51] out? At Whirlpool, we make many kinds

[2:53] [music] of ranges with continuous or

[2:55] self-cleing ovens, but we go further and

[2:58] make [music] one with counter space,

[2:59] too. Variable power and touch controls

[3:01] come on our microwave ovens, but we make

[3:04] [music] one that can even compute start

[3:05] time. Why do ours stand out? At

[3:08] Whirlpool, we just wouldn't make them

[3:10] any other way. At Worldpool, quality is

[3:14] our way of life.

[3:16] >> You know, all the leading pain relievers

[3:17] are tablets. So, why does Standback

[3:19] still make a powder? Well, it's because

[3:21] Stanach is a powder that it works so

[3:23] fast. You see, Stanach is already

[3:25] dissolved when you take it. I simply mix

[3:27] it in water, just like instant coffee,

[3:28] and it goes to work fighting pain, even

[3:30] inflammation and fever, fast. At times,

[3:33] powders were all people took for pain

[3:35] relief. Now, tablets are more popular.

[3:37] But when you're suffering from pain,

[3:39] what do you want? You want popularity or

[3:42] fast pain relief?

[3:43] >> Standback powders, an idea whose time

[3:45] has come back.

[3:47] Nicaraguan troops and US Marines safely

[3:50] made their way to an airirst strip

[3:52] outside Managua today. There they

[3:54] boarded a US Air Force plane for a

[3:56] flight to the Panama Canal Zone to

[3:58] escape Nicaragua's intensifying civil

[4:00] war. The Americans tried to leave the

[4:02] capital yesterday, but as Charles Gomez

[4:04] reports, the main airport road is held

[4:06] by the guerillas.

[4:10] The Sandinita gerillas occupy a small

[4:12] stretch of territory along the critical

[4:14] north highway, the main link between

[4:16] Managua and the commercial airport. The

[4:18] rebels have barricaded side streets and

[4:21] use these positions to snipe the

[4:22] patrolling National Guard troops.

[4:24] Fighting has been heavy on the strategic

[4:26] highway and in the neighboring Bios.

[4:28] During a gunfight on the road late

[4:30] yesterday, government troops destroyed

[4:32] the leading opposition newspaper,

[4:34] burning it and then throwing rockets

[4:35] into the building. But during a lull

[4:38] today, weary residents kept indoors by

[4:40] the gunfire came out and looted an

[4:42] Abyiscoco food warehouse. One said he

[4:44] was for neither side. His family was

[4:46] just hungry and he needed food to keep

[4:49] them alive. Most residents of the city

[4:51] believe the Sandinistas will try to

[4:53] overwhelm the capital soon and are

[4:55] stockpiling food in anticipation of the

[4:57] battle. A battle many of them no longer

[4:59] seem to have the spirit or strength to

[5:02] endure. Charles Gomez, CBS News,

[5:05] Managua, Nicaragua.

[5:07] US officials say they're pretty sure

[5:09] they know the identity of the man who

[5:11] hijacked the Delta Airlines jet to Cuba

[5:13] last night. He's believed to be a former

[5:15] Cuban Air Force pilot, Eduardo Gara

[5:17] Himenez. Ga defected to this country 10

[5:20] years ago in a MIG jet fighter. The New

[5:23] York to Fort Lauderdale flight with 206

[5:25] persons aboard remained in a van of 5

[5:27] hours before returning to this country.

[5:29] There were no injuries.

[5:31] 21 foreign nations critical of US

[5:34] government procedures said today they

[5:36] hope the complete inspection of their

[5:38] DC10 airplanes and put them back into

[5:40] service within a week. One spokesman

[5:42] called the American government grounding

[5:44] of the plane irresponsible and

[5:46] frivolous. Under the US order, the

[5:48] planes will not be permitted to operate

[5:50] to the United States. Two persons were

[5:53] killed today when a DC3 crashed just

[5:56] after taking off from an airport in Fort

[5:58] Lauderdale, Florida. The privately owned

[6:00] plane narrowly missed a busy highway in

[6:03] a row of houses. It was a second fatal

[6:05] crash in two days involving the twin

[6:07] engine prop driven plane. Yesterday, a

[6:10] DC3 with 12 Foresters aboard crashed in

[6:13] a mountain river in North Central Idaho.

[6:16] One passenger is known dead, two

[6:18] survived, and nine are missing, but

[6:20] feared death. One of the survivors of

[6:22] 17-year-old Bryant Stringham and today

[6:24] he described the ordeal. The plane hit

[6:28] and most of it stayed together.

[6:30] Part of the plane was was sheared all

[6:32] the way back along the side and it

[6:35] stopped just a few inches away from my

[6:36] head. And I looked up at the other

[6:39] passengers and I seen uh about three or

[6:43] so who were unconscious or dead. And I

[6:46] tried to help one of them and he kept

[6:49] sinking away from me. It looked like um

[6:53] I was going to be sucked under into a

[6:55] few sludge and then I I just I waited

[6:59] until the water was

[7:01] wasn't full of rapids and then I just um

[7:05] kicked off in the plane and swam.

[7:11] >> A surprising message to roll a users

[7:14] neutralizes one/3 more acid than roll

[7:16] aids. Watch this familiar demonstration.

[7:20] One roll aids and one Tums tablet are

[7:21] added to stomach acid. Both neutralize

[7:24] the acid. But on those occasions when

[7:26] your stomach has even this much more

[7:28] excess acid, Tums can still absorb it.

[7:30] Rolades can't because tablet for tablet,

[7:33] Tums neutralizes one/3 more acid than

[7:36] Roades. For acid indigestion and

[7:38] heartburn, take Tums.

[7:43] Mercine crystals power off plaque to

[7:45] leave dentures five and a half times

[7:47] cleaner than the leading tablet. What's

[7:48] plaque?

[7:49] >> These are magnified sections of real

[7:51] dentures dyed to show how much plaque

[7:53] builds up in only 24 hours. This

[7:55] bacterial film plaque results in odor

[7:57] and stains. See, plaque resists tablets,

[7:59] but Mercine powers off this plaque to

[8:01] leave dentures five and a half times

[8:03] cleaner than the leading tablets.

[8:05] >> Mercine.

[8:06] >> Mercine powers off plaque to leave

[8:08] dentures

[8:09] >> five and a half times cleaner.

[8:13] President Carter flies to Vienna

[8:15] Thursday to meet for the first time with

[8:16] Soviet Chairman Leonid Brev and to sign

[8:19] the second strategic arms limitation

[8:21] treaty. That will touch off a major

[8:24] foreign policy and defense debate in the

[8:26] Senate. Last week in a poll of 1422

[8:29] persons nationwide with a 3 percentage

[8:31] point margin of error either way, CBS

[8:33] News and the New York Times asked about

[8:36] Salt 2. And here's Bruce Morton with the

[8:38] results.

[8:41] The people we pled like the idea of an

[8:44] agreement with Russia to limit nuclear

[8:45] arms, like it by better than 5 to one,

[8:48] but they don't know much about this

[8:50] particular treaty. Just 30% of our

[8:53] sample correctly named the US and the

[8:55] USSR as the two countries involved, up

[8:57] from 23% when we asked the same question

[9:00] last January. and asked should the

[9:02] Senate approve this treaty. Over half

[9:04] our sample said they didn't know enough

[9:06] about it to say those who did have an

[9:08] opinion supported the treaty 3 to one.

[9:10] The treaty did best with young people,

[9:12] with men. More women said they had no

[9:14] opinion with college graduates and with

[9:17] those who knew which countries were

[9:18] involved. By 5 to three, our sample

[9:21] thought the Russians would try to cheat

[9:22] on a treaty. But they also thought by

[9:24] 2:1 that the US would catch them at it.

[9:27] Our sample believes the US is weaker

[9:29] than the Soviet Union today, but think

[9:31] salt would change that. They said by

[9:33] about a 4 to3 margin that the two

[9:36] countries would be equal after a treaty.

[9:39] Bruce Morton, CBS News, Washington. We

[9:42] reported last night on how Pakistan

[9:45] successfully had shopped around the

[9:46] world for the ingredients of a nuclear

[9:49] bomb. In his concluding report, Bill

[9:51] Mclofflin explores the implications of

[9:54] Pakistan and the Islamic bomb.

[9:59] Pakistan's plan to build an atomic

[10:01] weapon with Libyan financial aid to

[10:03] build what amounts to an Islamic atomic

[10:05] bomb presents the US with a wide array

[10:07] of serious political headaches. Even

[10:10] though India exploded a nuclear device 5

[10:12] years ago, it still insists that its

[10:14] nuclear program is peaceful. A Pakistani

[10:16] bomb will almost certainly change that.

[10:18] Dr. Theore Taylor, one of America's

[10:20] foremost designers of nuclear weapons,

[10:22] put it this way.

[10:23] >> I find it hard to imagine that we're not

[10:25] seeing the start of an arms race in the

[10:28] Indian subcontinent.

[10:29] >> But it isn't just an Indo-Pakistan

[10:31] nuclear conflict that the world has to

[10:33] worry about. Nuclear weapons in the

[10:35] possession of Pakistan could lead to

[10:37] proliferation on a massive scale.

[10:39] Reliable intelligence sources believe

[10:41] Libya wants it to be the Islamic bomb,

[10:43] the nuclear sword of the Muslim world.

[10:45] And Pakistan not only has close

[10:47] relations with Libya, it is also deeply

[10:49] committed to the Palestine Liberation

[10:51] Organization. For example, Western

[10:53] intelligence officials report that

[10:55] Pakistan is training a PLO crew to use a

[10:58] 30-year-old Britishbuilt submarine.

[10:59] [music]

[11:00] That makes the Pakistani bomb a direct

[11:02] threat to Israel and to Egypt, which

[11:04] like Israel [music]

[11:05] now is on the enemy's list of the

[11:07] radical Muslim states. Intelligence

[11:09] [music] officials believe it's unlikely

[11:10] that either Israel or Egypt would allow

[11:13] an enemy in the region to acquire

[11:14] nuclear weapons without a fight. The

[11:17] Middle East is already a dangerous

[11:18] place, but there's the likelihood that

[11:20] it will get more dangerous. And

[11:22] Washington is now concerned that one of

[11:24] the nations most affected by an Islamic

[11:26] bomb might be tempted to destroy

[11:28] Pakistan's budding nuclear facilities.

[11:30] That nation could be India or Israel or

[11:33] perhaps even the Soviet Union which

[11:35] signed a 20-year peace and friendship

[11:36] treaty with India in 1971 and which is

[11:39] now trying to exert its control over

[11:41] Pakistan's other neighbor Afghanistan.

[11:44] And there are other problems with

[11:45] equally serious implications. Pakistan's

[11:48] nuclear program also means that the

[11:50] entire range of international safeguards

[11:52] against the spread of nuclear weapons

[11:53] carefully built over the years such as

[11:55] the International Atomic Energy Agency

[11:57] set up in 1957, the nuclear

[12:00] non-prololiferation treaty signed in

[12:01] 1968, the US's own nuclear

[12:04] non-prololiferation act signed by

[12:05] President Carter in 1978, and the export

[12:09] control lists of the nuclear powers

[12:11] simply do not work. Pakistan proved they

[12:14] do not work. the scenarios you can

[12:16] invent for a nuclear war breaking out

[12:18] are just getting more and more complex

[12:21] and uh multitudinous and believable.

[12:25] I am very pessimistic about efforts by

[12:28] even joint efforts by the United States

[12:30] and the Soviet Union and even if they

[12:32] included China to try to do things that

[12:37] will prevent nuclear weapons from

[12:39] appearing

[12:41] uh more routinely in the armaments of

[12:44] other countries.

[12:45] >> Pakistan was not even a nation. It was

[12:47] still part of British India when the

[12:48] American atomic bomb destroyed

[12:50] Hiroshima. The US nuclear monopoly

[12:52] lasted only 4 years. We were swiftly

[12:54] joined by the Soviet Union, Great

[12:56] Britain, France, and China. India joined

[12:58] the nuclear club in 1974. It's widely

[13:01] believed that Israel and South Africa

[13:03] either have nuclear weapons or could

[13:05] assemble them on short notice. The list

[13:07] of other nations that could have nuclear

[13:09] weapons within 2 to 4 years cuts across

[13:11] the globe. Washington's prospects of

[13:14] halting the spread of nuclear technology

[13:15] and its deadliest forms are not good.

[13:18] There's a long list of countries lined

[13:19] up behind Pakistan waiting to join the

[13:21] nuclear club. And given the state of the

[13:23] world right now, they may not have to

[13:25] wait too long before a prophecy of

[13:26] Libya's Colonel Gaddafi is fulfilled.

[13:29] Atomic weapons will be like traditional

[13:31] ones possessed by every state according

[13:33] to its potential. We will have our share

[13:36] of this new weapon. Bill McLaclin, CBS

[13:39] News, Washington.

[13:42] The United States along with France and

[13:44] Australia agreed today to resettle about

[13:46] 1,400 Cambodian refugees, thus saving

[13:50] them from being forcibly sent home by

[13:52] Thailand. Over the past 5 days, the ties

[13:55] have forcibly repatriated about 36,000

[13:58] Cambodians. The murder trial of Theodore

[14:00] Bundy, who's accused of killing two

[14:02] co-eds in Tallahassee, Florida, will be

[14:04] moved to Miami. The judge agreed with

[14:06] the defense that overwhelming pre-trial

[14:09] publicity would prevent a fair hearing

[14:11] in Tallahassee. The nation's fifth

[14:14] largest bank, Morgan Guarantee Trust,

[14:16] lowered its prime lending rate today

[14:18] from 11 and 3/4 to 11 12%. That action

[14:21] helped push the stock market up sharply

[14:24] in heavy trading.

[14:32] >> My buddy Jim was a great umpire. He was

[14:34] quick on his feet. He's got eyes like an

[14:36] eagle.

[14:36] >> I'm still quick because I don't get

[14:38] filled up. I drink light beer from

[14:39] Miller. Light tastes great. It's less

[14:42] filling. It's got a

[14:44] >> What's it say? Here you go, Jim. Try

[14:46] this.

[14:48] >> Oh, yeah. A third less calories than a

[14:51] regular beer.

[14:53] >> Hey, you're Boo Powell. [laughter]

[14:56] >> Light beer from Miller. Everything you

[14:57] always wanted in a beer and less.

[15:01] >> This gas nozzle is for unled gas. Fits

[15:03] any car. This one is for the less

[15:05] expensive regular. See, they make the

[15:07] regular gas nozzles bigger because a lot

[15:10] of economy cars can't take regular gas.

[15:12] So, when you try to put regular into a

[15:14] Toyota, it just won't go. Regular gas

[15:17] won't go into a Chevet or a Pinto

[15:18] either. But when you try to put regular

[15:20] gas into a Subaru, it's a perfect fit.

[15:32] Senator Herman Tomage's former wife, a

[15:35] reluctant witness, testified against him

[15:37] today at the ethics committee's hearing

[15:39] of financial misconduct charges against

[15:41] the Georgia Democrat. And Phil Jones

[15:43] reports.

[15:45] >> The woman who first heard on television

[15:47] in 1976 that her husband of 35 years

[15:50] planned to divorce her today faced her

[15:52] former husband. She claimed no

[15:54] bitterness. Betty Tomage started to cry

[15:56] as she asked the committee to excuse her

[15:58] from testifying for the sake of her

[16:00] child and grandchildren, but she was

[16:02] ordered to tell what she knew about

[16:04] money allegedly kept in the senator's

[16:06] overcoat. When handed an envelope, she

[16:08] had turned over to the committee and

[16:10] asked what it was. Mrs. Townage said,

[16:12] "It is cash kept in a coat pocket in our

[16:14] apartment." Said Mrs. Talmage, "It was a

[16:17] way of life for years to go to this

[16:19] money to pay for personal and household

[16:21] needs." She said the senator also used

[16:23] the money. Mrs. Tomage estimated that

[16:26] the coat pocket sometimes had up to

[16:28] $45,000 in $100 bills, but she had no

[16:31] idea where it came from. Investigators

[16:35] have traced the money to a Texas bank,

[16:37] but ethics committee lawyers conceded

[16:38] today that they have been unable to

[16:40] determine the source of the $100 bills.

[16:44] Phil Jones, CBS News, Capitol Hill.

[16:47] Federal authorities today ordered their

[16:49] first arrest for gasoline overcharging a

[16:51] Boston gas station owner who had been

[16:53] charging almost $153 a gallon for

[16:56] regular. He faces a $10,000 fine for

[16:59] every day the energy department can

[17:01] prove that he overcharged. Deputy Energy

[17:04] Secretary John Olirri before a House

[17:06] committee today disputed claims by a

[17:08] Federal Trade Commission official

[17:10] yesterday that his department had not

[17:12] been responsive to requests for data on

[17:14] gasoline shortages or that the shortages

[17:17] were contrived by the oil industry. One

[17:20] of the homes in the Nixon compound at

[17:22] Kiscane is no more. Eduardo Ortega, a

[17:25] Colombian architect who reportedly paid

[17:27] more than $400,000 for the former

[17:30] president's house, called in the

[17:32] bulldozer this morning to make room for

[17:33] a new home. Ortega said the former Nixon

[17:36] offices and staff quarters had fallen

[17:38] into disrepair.

[17:41] We have two stories tonight about man's

[17:43] efforts to fly by unusual means. One

[17:46] effort ended in triumph, the other in

[17:48] failure. First, Bob Faw reports on the

[17:50] failure. He and cameraman Pat Odell were

[17:53] among those aboard an ill- fated flight

[17:55] that began at Edwardsville, Illinois.

[17:58] The early morning liftoff was perfect.

[18:00] Conditions were almost ideal as the

[18:02] world's largest hot air balloon

[18:03] attempted to set both endurance and

[18:05] distance records. Within minutes, the

[18:07] flight developed problems.

[18:09] >> We have uh two holes in the top of the

[18:11] balloon that we shouldn't have.

[18:14] >> Though the holes were small, the leaks

[18:16] could not be sealed. So, the three-man

[18:17] crew, including former astronaut Ed

[18:19] Mitchell, had to burn enormous amounts

[18:21] of propane to keep the balloon aloft.

[18:24] Because of the leaks from those two

[18:25] small holes, this balloon has been

[18:27] burning about five times more fuel than

[18:29] it should. And as a result, barely 3 and

[18:31] 1/2 hours into the flight, more than

[18:33] half of the fuel is gone.

[18:36] Realizing it was running short of fuel,

[18:38] the crew sought a safe landing spot. But

[18:40] gusty winds kept the balloon from

[18:42] setting down in open fields. And when

[18:44] the crew tried to land in a small

[18:45] opening in a forest, the balloon's

[18:47] gondola smashed into the ground, pitched

[18:49] forward violently, flipped over, and was

[18:51] dragged 50 ft.

[18:56] So, just 150 mi from its promising

[18:58] start, the flight came to rest,

[19:00] literally in pieces. But miraculously,

[19:03] all injuries were minor, and the crew

[19:05] has already decided to make another try

[19:07] for the record. Bob F, CBS News,

[19:09] Fairfield, Illinois.

[19:12] Now, the story of the Triumph. The first

[19:14] manpowered flight across the English

[19:16] Channel. A 26-year-old California man is

[19:19] the newest aviation pioneer, and his

[19:21] craft is called the Gossamer Albatross.

[19:24] Doug Tanell reports.

[19:27] Chief pilot Brian Allen's second liftoff

[19:29] from a breakwater on the English coast

[19:31] was nearly perfect, but a broken wheel

[19:33] on his first attempt had set back the

[19:35] Gossamer's departure by more than an

[19:37] hour. Just enough time for the wind to

[19:39] come up. The flight crew had prepared

[19:41] for winds of no more than 7 m an hour,

[19:44] but midway through the 22-mile journey,

[19:46] their craft flew headlong into gusts

[19:48] nearly twice that speed. The weather

[19:51] began to take its toll on the Gossamer's

[19:53] only power source. Skimming just above

[19:55] the waves, Allan called at one point for

[19:58] the escort boats to pull alongside and

[20:00] make ready to put the Gossamer in tow

[20:02] prevent it from crashing and sinking.

[20:05] But as the boats approached, Allan

[20:06] increased the altitude of his 55-lb

[20:09] pedal plane a few critical feet and

[20:12] found the going a little easier. The

[20:14] coast of France soon came into view,

[20:16] inspiration enough perhaps for the

[20:18] 26-year-old cyclist from California to

[20:20] press on. Almost 2 and 3/4 hours after

[20:23] leaving England, the Gossamer Albatross

[20:26] settled into the sand at Cape Green in

[20:28] Northern France. An exhausted Brian

[20:30] Allen described it as marvelous.

[20:33] >> Whoa. You know, I just could see that

[20:35] the surf and the breakers and and

[20:36] suddenly, you know, it just goes, "Wow."

[20:40] >> The crew of the Gossamer Albatross

[20:42] earned a $200,000 prize posted by a

[20:45] British industrialist for the first

[20:47] humanpowered flight across the channel.

[20:49] After he rests his weary legs, Brian

[20:52] Allen plans to go home to the United

[20:54] States. No pedals. Thank you, Doug

[20:57] Tanell, CBS News in Northern France.

[21:04] Today, a lot of you men are cheating

[21:06] your wives, and you don't even realize

[21:08] it. Take my husband. Every morning, he

[21:10] puts on Old Spice.

[21:13] It's such a turnon. And he's off to

[21:15] share it with everybody but me.

[21:19] Why can't he use Old Spice when we're

[21:20] together at night? Maybe he needs a

[21:23] little hint.

[21:24] >> Oh, hi, Haddie.

[21:25] >> Hi.

[21:26] >> Old Spice at night. What a great idea

[21:29] for both of us.

[21:30] >> Old Spice. Share it with someone you

[21:32] love tonight.

[21:36] >> We're showing Carol that 1 oz of

[21:38] fortified total has 100% of the

[21:40] recommended daily allowance of these

[21:42] nine important vitamins plus iron.

[21:44] Carol, what cereal did you have for

[21:46] breakfast?

[21:46] >> Um, I had corn flakes.

[21:48] >> How do you think 1 oz of corn flakes

[21:50] will compare with total?

[21:51] >> I don't know. Total looks hard to beat.

[21:54] >> Let's compare.

[21:55] >> Total is a lot higher. If you want 100%

[21:58] of these nine vitamins and iron, get

[22:01] total.

[22:01] >> That's some difference.

[22:02] >> That's the total difference.

[22:06] >> It was front page news all over the

[22:09] world today. John Wayne was dead. In

[22:12] Tokyo, the headline read, "Mr. America

[22:15] passes on. In Lima, Peru, it said,

[22:17] "Goodbye, cowboy." Wayne died yesterday

[22:20] in Los Angeles at the age of 72, losing

[22:23] his long fight with cancer. President

[22:25] Carter paid tribute to him as the

[22:27] genuine article in an age of few heroes.

[22:30] He was a symbol, said the president, of

[22:32] many of the most basic qualities that

[22:34] made America great. David Browning takes

[22:37] a look at Wayne's long career.

[22:41] If you were a youngster watching the

[22:43] Saturday matineese back in the early

[22:45] 30s, chances are one of your heroes was

[22:47] a young man named Marian Michael

[22:49] Morrison.

[22:49] >> I've got to take that chance. We talking

[22:51] about those trains, guys. His family had

[22:54] moved out west from Iowa and after an

[22:56] unremarkable football career at USC, he

[22:59] drifted into the movies and changed the

[23:01] name Marian Morrison into something a

[23:03] little flashier.

[23:05] For over 10 years, he chased the bad

[23:08] guys in B movies and C serals

[23:12] until [music] 1939 when director John

[23:14] Ford picked Wayne over Gary Cooper for a

[23:17] western cole stage coach. And John Wayne

[23:20] be actor became John Wayne superstar.

[23:25] >> Hey, look, it's Ringo.

[23:27] >> Hello, Curly.

[23:29] Hi, Buck.

[23:30] >> Even then, critics couldn't quite figure

[23:32] Wayne out. His acting was nothing

[23:34] special. Some said it was nothing at

[23:36] all. But when John Wayne threw all 6'4

[23:39] of himself into battle, doing many of

[23:41] his own stunts, audiences loved him.

[23:44] From stage coach to the Sands of Ewima,

[23:47] he was America's number one hero.

[23:50] Hang on.

[23:51] >> I guess I'm the only fellow in Hollywood

[23:53] who never had a part where he wasn't on

[23:55] a horse, a tank, or a ship. I've been in

[23:59] more battles than Napoleon, more wars

[24:01] than Germany, and I'm captured. Patan

[24:05] Corriodor Fort Apache and Marino O'Hara.

[24:09] >> The capture of Morino O'Hara was

[24:11] accomplished without benefit of tanks or

[24:13] ships in The Quiet Man. Blaine playing a

[24:15] retired American boxer in Ireland with

[24:18] definitely macho ideas about courtship.

[24:22] [music]

[24:22] >> There'll be no locks or bolts between

[24:24] us, Mary Kate, except those in your own

[24:27] mercenary little heart.

[24:29] >> [music]

[24:29] >> Looking back 20 years later, Wayne

[24:31] lamented the passing of his romantic

[24:34] days, [music]

[24:35] >> cuz I stopped getting the girl about 10

[24:38] years ago,

[24:40] which is just as well,

[24:43] cuz I'd have forgotten what we wanted

[24:44] her for.

[24:47] Offscreen, Wayne was a vocal defender of

[24:50] patriotism and conservative politics,

[24:52] though he resented being painted as a

[24:54] right-wing reactionary. He was a hawk on

[24:56] Vietnam, making a movie about it,

[24:58] touring the battlefields, and arguing

[25:00] that wars should be fought to be won.

[25:03] The lampoon, Harvard's humor magazine,

[25:05] challenged him to appear on campus to

[25:07] face young critics. He rode in on a

[25:09] tank, took a few snowballs, but politics

[25:12] aside, charmed most everybody.

[25:14] >> You look at yourself as a fulfillment of

[25:16] the American dream.

[25:20] >> I don't look at myself anymore than I

[25:22] have to.

[25:25] By then, he was in his 60s, a time when

[25:27] many stars have to hang it up. He'd gone

[25:29] through some 200 pictures, three

[25:31] marriages, and lost a lung to cancer.

[25:34] But he wasn't ready to quit movies.

[25:36] >> They tell me you're a man with true

[25:38] grit.

[25:39] >> True Grit truly surprised many critics

[25:42] and movie goers. [music] It seemed to be

[25:44] John Wayne doing a skillful parody of

[25:47] John Wayne.

[25:48] >> I call that bull talk for a oneeyed fat

[25:51] man.

[25:54] fill your hand, you son of a [ __ ]

[25:57] [music]

[26:01] >> Whatever it was, one reviewer called it

[26:03] the true climax of a great and

[26:05] well-loved career.

[26:08] And in one lane, an Oscar for best

[26:10] actor. Oncreen, John Wayne thumbmed his

[26:13] nose at death many times. And in his

[26:16] last years in and out of the hospital

[26:18] for a variety of serious ailments,

[26:20] offscreen, too, he was defiant to the

[26:22] end.

[26:25] >> [music]

[26:28] >> the 1979 Oscar ceremonies. After open

[26:32] heart surgery, cancer, removal of his

[26:34] stomach, John Wayne was honored by a

[26:37] Hollywood that knew it would probably

[26:39] never see his likes again.

[26:42] >> Oscar first came to the Hollywood scene

[26:44] in 1928.

[26:47] So did I.

[26:49] >> [snorts]

[26:49] >> We're both a little weatherbeaten, but

[26:53] we're still here and plan to be around

[26:56] for a whole lot longer.

[27:02] [music]

[27:02] >> Well, come see a fat old man sometime.

[27:08] Wayne had long ago picked [music] his

[27:10] epitap, the Spanish phrase foe eiformal.

[27:14] He was ugly. He was strong. [music]

[27:17] He had dignity.
