[0:06] One more way Portland General Electric
[0:09] is preparing for tomorrow. Today, let
[0:12] the future begin. A medical breakthrough
[0:14] that some say cures cancer. Monday at
[0:21] 5 on World News Tonight. This Sunday,
[0:25] former President Clinton makes his case,
[0:28] defending his controversial pardon of
[0:30] Mark Rich. The first pictures of the
[0:34] Japanese fishing vessel sunk by an
[0:36] American sub shown to relatives of the
