[0:04] This is NBC Nightly News
[0:07] with David Brinkley in Washington and
[0:10] John Chancellor in New York.
[0:14] Good evening. In Jerusalem tonight, the
[0:16] Israeli cabinet decided that Israel
[0:18] would attend a Geneva peace conference
[0:21] under the terms of a working paper drawn
[0:23] up by Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and
[0:26] Israeli Foreign Minister Mosha Dian. The
[0:28] decision was immediately signaled to
[0:30] Washington where it must have brought a
[0:32] sizable sigh of relief to the State
[0:34] Department. It was a victory for Dion
[0:36] who faced some opposition at home.
[0:38] Here's more on the story from Bill Lord
[0:40] in Jerusalem.
[0:43] Prime Minister Manakaman set the stage
[0:45] for the crucial meeting by ending his
[0:48] 11-day hospital stay to preside over the
[0:50] cabinet. Foreign Minister Mosa Diane
[0:53] returned from the United States. He was
[0:56] determined to gain government approval
[0:58] for the negotiating procedures he had
[1:00] worked out with President Carter.
[1:03] Some members of Bean's conservative
[1:05] coalition had their own doubts when the
[1:07] cabinet gathered this evening in
[1:08] Jerusalem. They argued that the Carter
[1:11] Dion working paper set a dangerous
[1:14] precedent by allowing Palestinian
[1:16] participation.
[1:18] But after a 4 and 1/2 hour debate, the
[1:20] cabinet voted to approve the negotiating
[1:23] formula, but only with the understanding
[1:25] that the procedure rules out
[1:27] negotiations with the Palestine
[1:29] Liberation Organization.
[1:31] With Israeli approval, the working paper
[1:33] will now be presented to the Arabs, who
[1:36] are expected to take issue with the
[1:38] exclusion of the PLO.
[1:41] The Israelis are voicing their
[1:42] opposition to the PLO because the
[1:44] working paper is deliberately vague on
[1:46] this central issue and because the
[1:49] Israelis are still deeply suspicious of
[1:51] President Carter's ultimate attitude
[1:53] toward PLO participation at a Geneva
[1:56] peace conference. Bill Lord, NBC News,
[1:59] Jerusalem.
[2:02] >> Richard Valerani is standing by at the
[2:04] State Department. Dick, what is the
[2:05] thinking over there about this? Does
[2:07] anyone expect a Geneva conference will
[2:09] truly produce peace in the Middle East?
[2:12] >> Well, they are hoping that a Geneva
[2:13] conference will produce peace in the
[2:15] Middle East, but not not anytime soon.
[2:17] The thinking here is that if you can get
[2:19] a Geneva conference started by the end
[2:21] of this year, perhaps sometime in se in
[2:23] December or late November, the
[2:26] conference itself would last for at
[2:27] least several months and maybe a few
[2:29] years.
[2:31] >> And what then? Well, the thinking here
[2:34] is that you would have some kind of a
[2:35] timetable worked out whereby the
[2:37] Israelis would withdraw from occupied
[2:39] territories in exchange for peace
[2:42] arrangements that the Arabs would make
[2:44] and that at the end of a process and
[2:45] that might even take a generation that
[2:47] you'd have something very close to peace
[2:49] in the Middle East, but that's a long
[2:51] way down the road and nothing is ever
[2:52] totally predictable in the Middle East.
[2:54] David,
[2:54] >> do they expect to be able to deal with
[2:56] the PLO problem and the homeland
[2:58] problem? They're hopeful of getting
[2:59] around the PLO problem by perhaps having
[3:02] the West Bank mayors present at Geneva
[3:05] when the conference is reconvened.
[3:07] >> Fine, Dick. Thank you very much, John.
[3:09] All in all, it was a tough day for the
[3:11] Israelis. That cabinet meeting lasted
[3:13] for five full hours, the longest session
[3:16] held by the government of Minakim Bean.
[3:23] >> There's something special about a
[3:25] woman's touch. You give so much of
[3:28] yourself. Yet some days when you're not
[3:30] feeling your best because of occasional
[3:32] irregularity, you take Correct Doll. The
[3:35] modern gentle laxative. Correct doll's
[3:38] medically proven formula combines a mild
[3:41] laxative with a softening agent. Its
[3:43] gentle overnight action will help you
[3:45] feel like yourself again. Try the modern
[3:48] gentle laxative so many women are using.
[3:51] Correct. All
[3:54] >> these Atlas look identical. They both
[3:56] meet federal standards for strength and
[3:57] endurance. But we're removing our name
[3:59] from this one. Why? Because it's not
[4:01] good enough to meet additional Atlas
[4:03] standards for smooth ride and long-term
[4:04] reliability. In fact, these Atlas
[4:06] standards are among the highest in the
[4:08] tire industry. So, when you see the name
[4:10] Atlas on tires, you can be sure they're
[4:12] top quality. And that means real value.
[4:15] Look for them at a service station in
[4:16] your neighborhood. Long Mileage Atlas
[4:18] Tires.
[4:22] Would
[4:30] your children like a younger-l looking
[4:32] mother? Then discover oil of Olay. The
[4:34] mysterious beauty fluid that can help
[4:36] you look younger. You see, pure
[4:38] moisture, tropical oil, and emollient
[4:40] create a dewy climate for your skin. Oil
[4:43] of Olay penetrates really quickly to
[4:45] ease dryness with no greasy look, no
[4:48] greasy feel, so you can look fresh and
[4:50] glowy.
[4:54] Your kids might even notice.
[4:55] >> Discover the secret of oil of Olay. It
[4:57] can help you look younger, too.
[5:01] >> Tomorrow, the Supreme Court hears
[5:02] arguments in one of the most difficult
[5:04] and provocative cases it has ever heard.
[5:07] The case of Alan Baky, who says he was
[5:09] kept out of medical school when minority
[5:12] students with lower grades were let in.
[5:15] Here's Carl Stern.
[5:17] A report on special programs for
[5:19] minorities was issued today by the US
[5:21] Civil Rights Commission just 24 hours
[5:24] before tomorrow's historic Supreme Court
[5:26] argument. Copies were sent to the
[5:28] justices. The commission seemed to add
[5:31] more fuel to the fire, saying whites
[5:34] should lower their expectations of
[5:36] getting into professional schools.
[5:38] Chairman Arthur Fleming said that white
[5:40] applicants know beforehand that programs
[5:42] exist to make more room for minorities.
[5:44] and he contended that whites, even with
[5:46] superior test scores, should not cry
[5:48] foul if they don't get in.
[5:50] >> This white student who applies under
[5:53] these circumstances knows that one of
[5:56] the factors that's going to operate as
[5:58] far as he is concerned is this
[6:01] affirmative action program. a program
[6:04] under which the institution has
[6:05] voluntarily said, "We recognize what
[6:08] this nation has done to minorities in
[6:11] the past, and we're going to do
[6:13] something about it." In medical schools
[6:16] across the country, the percentage of
[6:18] minority students is in fact slipping.
[6:20] According to the Civil Rights
[6:21] Commission, with a view toward
[6:23] tomorrow's Supreme Court argument, the
[6:25] commission urged all Americans to
[6:26] support what it called numerically based
[6:29] remedies for past discrimination. Carl
[6:32] Stern, NBC News, Washington.
[6:35] >> A dispute in California today about
[6:37] intelligence quotient tests. A lawsuit
[6:39] has been filed which says that IQ tests
[6:42] discriminate against black children
[6:44] because these tests do not take into
[6:46] consideration the cultural experiences
[6:48] of black people, which allegedly makes
[6:51] black children get lower scores than
[6:52] white children. Don Oliver has more from
[6:55] San Francisco. For years, the state of
[6:57] California has used standard IQ tests to
[7:00] determine which students would be placed
[7:01] in classes for the mentally
[7:03] And for years, a higher percentage of
[7:05] black students were judged to be
[7:07] mentally defective than were white
[7:08] students. The suit was filed in federal
[7:10] court by attorneys representing six
[7:12] black students in San Francisco were
[7:14] classified as mentally in 1971.
[7:17] Their attorneys said testing done later
[7:19] by black psychiatrists showed that the
[7:21] children were normal. The suit was filed
[7:23] against the California Department of
[7:24] Education in an effort to stop it from
[7:26] using the IQ tests.
[7:28] >> Well, what the state has done is to
[7:30] require the use of standard
[7:32] individualized IQ tests uh as part of
[7:35] the process of deciding what children
[7:36] are going to be removed from regular
[7:38] education classes and pacing classes for
[7:40] the And we submit that those
[7:41] tests are bias against black people have
[7:44] been known for half a century to be
[7:46] biased against black people. And the
[7:48] state of California shouldn't be
[7:49] requiring school districts to use them.
[7:51] There will be a long parade of
[7:52] witnesses. The trial could go on for
[7:54] months. First on the stand for the
[7:55] plaintiffs was the dean of the San
[7:57] Francisco State School of Education.
[7:59] >> Uh basically that if you want to know
[8:00] something about the intelligence of a
[8:02] child, that you need to use the language
[8:05] that they know that you need to use the
[8:08] experiences that they have had as a
[8:10] basis for forming your questions. And
[8:12] that a standardized question doesn't do
[8:14] that. Attorneys for the children will
[8:16] contend the state fostered racial
[8:18] segregation by placing more blacks in
[8:20] mentally classes and that the
[8:21] children have been scarred for life
[8:23] because of it. One issue that is bound
[8:26] to come up in this long trial will be
[8:28] the issue of heredity. Are blacks
[8:30] genetically inferior to whites as some
[8:32] people have charged. The state once
[8:34] thought about using that argument but
[8:36] now says that genetics will not play a
[8:37] part in its defense. It will claim that
[8:40] poor health care, pre and post-natal,
[8:43] may be a reason that there are more
[8:44] black children proportionately in
[8:46] mentally classes than there are
[8:48] white children. Don Oliver, NBC News,
[8:50] San Francisco.
[8:52] The Supreme Court made some veterans
[8:54] happy today. It set aside a lower court
[8:57] order which had threatened state
[8:58] programs in 46 states which gave
[9:01] veterans preferences for public service
[9:03] jobs. Some other veterans are not so
[9:06] happy this week. They are the veterans
[9:08] whose bad discharges were upgraded under
[9:10] President Carter's program. But the
[9:12] president has now signed a bill
[9:14] requiring that these veterans must have
[9:16] their cases reviewed before they can get
[9:18] certain benefits. Uh some of them don't
[9:20] like that. Jackson Bane reports on one.
[9:25] This is Herman Jones, 25 years old,
[9:28] unemployed, and a Vietnam veteran. He
[9:31] received an undesirable discharge for
[9:33] being absent without leave this year.
[9:36] That discharge was upgraded under a
[9:38] special Carter Administration program.
[9:41] Jones wants to be a carpenter and until
[9:44] last week, he was eligible for veterans
[9:46] benefits which would pay for schooling
[9:48] in that trade.
[9:49] >> Well, what I want out my life now is
[9:51] just to be able to obtain a skill and be
[9:56] able to uh apply my skill uh helping
[9:58] others in the society and just live and
[10:01] coexist with other people that's uh
[10:03] self-respecting and decent and peace.
[10:06] That's all I want.
[10:07] >> Herman Jones's dream of attending this
[10:09] school and learning carpentry is now in
[10:12] jeopardy. He had wanted to begin classes
[10:14] here next week, but he can't do that
[10:16] now. The bill President Carter has
[10:18] signed would bring Jones before a review
[10:20] panel, and it could be 6 months before
[10:23] he gets his benefits back, if at all.
[10:25] >> I'm entitled to live in this country and
[10:28] and uh enjoy the benefits of this
[10:31] country just like anyone else. And uh by
[10:34] me being a veteran and uh have fought in
[10:36] Vietnam, I feel that I'm more so
[10:38] entitled to it.
[10:39] >> The Herman Joneses are few in number, so
[10:42] there will be no national outcry about
[10:44] their problem. But for a small portion
[10:46] of the American public, the Carter
[10:48] administration has broken its promise.
[10:51] Jackson Bane, NBC News, Baltimore.
[10:56] There are still arguments here in
[10:58] Washington about the gas supply for the
[11:00] coming winter and whether enough has
[11:01] been done to avoid the shortages of last
[11:03] winter. The question is not yet
[11:05] answered. The gas companies in the
[11:07] meantime are doing what they can and
[11:10] Kenley Jones reports on one more or less
[11:12] typical case in Atlanta.
[11:16] The Southern Natural Gas Company is a
[11:18] major pipeline supplier for Atlanta and
[11:20] the Southeast. Company officials say
[11:23] they have tapped additional reserves
[11:24] which will enable them to meet increased
[11:26] demands this winter provided the weather
[11:28] is normal. But if the weather is severe,
[11:31] they say there will be problems. The
[11:33] Atlanta Gas Light Company, which buys
[11:34] gas from the pipeline, then sells it to
[11:37] consumers, says it is also optimistic
[11:39] about its ability to meet demand. For
[11:41] one thing, officials say that the gas
[11:43] shortage of last winter has taught
[11:45] consumers the necessity of conservation.
[11:48] >> We did a survey of our customers last
[11:50] spring. One of the questions we asked
[11:52] them was uh what have you done to uh
[11:56] save energy? And 80% of them said they
[11:58] had already adopted a a policy of
[12:00] lowering their thermostats. And of
[12:02] course, heating is the largest
[12:04] residential use of energy. Uh we think
[12:07] that uh even as cold as it was last year
[12:10] or even slightly colder, we'll be in a
[12:11] little bit better supply. But it really
[12:13] does depend on the weather situation.
[12:16] One reason for the better supply is that
[12:18] the company has increased its storage
[12:20] capacity by about 15% since last winter.
[12:23] And most of the additional tanks are for
[12:25] storage of propane, which is used
[12:27] primarily for heating homes. But as
[12:29] winter approaches, the fact remains that
[12:31] if the weather is as severe this year as
[12:34] last, there probably will be a shortage
[12:36] of natural gas. If not for homeowners,
[12:38] then for industry at least. And that
[12:40] would mean layoffs at a time when
[12:42] unemployment already is high. A lot
[12:44] depends on old man winter. Henley Jones,
[12:47] NBC News, Atlanta.
[12:49] >> In Guadalajara, Mexico today, a revolt
[12:52] in a crowded prison. Rebellious convicts
[12:54] have executed at least 15 prisoners who
[12:57] were accused of cooperating with guards.
[12:59] The place is surrounded by scores of
[13:01] Mexican police, and our reporter George
[13:03] Lewis is there.
[13:06] Some of the wounded were permitted to
[13:08] leave this morning as the standoff
[13:10] continued. There are conflicting
[13:12] accounts of how the riot began, but it
[13:14] appears to have been started by a group
[13:16] of left-wing prisoners who have been
[13:18] protesting against living conditions
[13:20] here and the treatment they've been
[13:21] getting at the hands of their fellow
[13:23] inmates. The penitentiary was designed
[13:26] to hold 800 men. There are 3,000 here
[13:29] now, including a handful of Americans.
[13:32] No Americans were reported among the
[13:34] dead and injured. The prisoners control
[13:37] all the penitentiary except the
[13:38] administration building. Here prison
[13:41] officials negotiated with the leftist
[13:43] trying to end the stalemate. In spite of
[13:46] the tense situation, families of some of
[13:49] the prisoners were being permitted to
[13:50] enter the administration building area
[13:53] to deliver food to the inmates. Outside,
[13:56] federal and local police stood by
[13:58] equipped with automatic weapons and tear
[14:00] gas, and officials said they would move
[14:03] in if the governor gave the order.
[14:06] >> While the authorities continue to
[14:08] negotiate with the prisoners, hoping for
[14:10] a peaceful end to the siege. It is
[14:12] obvious the Mexican government is
[14:14] prepared to end this with force if that
[14:16] becomes necessary. George Lewis, NBC
[14:19] News, Guadalajara, Mexico.
[14:22] President Carter told the Congress today
[14:24] that unless it objects, he will set up
[14:26] something called an agency for
[14:28] international communication. That agency
[14:31] would include the present United States
[14:33] Information Agency, the State
[14:35] Department's Bureau of Education and
[14:36] Cultural Affairs, and the Voice of
[14:38] America. The Voice is now part of the
[14:40] USIA. The new plan would not give it
[14:43] full independence, which some people had
[14:45] sought. David,
[14:48] >> the political leader of Nigeria, General
[14:50] Obasanjjo, was the president's guest at
[14:53] the White House today, and he heard the
[14:55] president refer to his country as the
[14:57] most important country economically in
[14:59] Africa and point out he'll be visiting
[15:02] there on his quick world tour next
[15:04] month. Obasanjjo attacked the white
[15:06] governments in southern Africa and said
[15:08] their crime was racism and that all the
[15:11] world must fight it. From here, he goes
[15:13] to New York to speak to the UN.
[15:15] John, this year's Nobel Prize in Physics
[15:19] has gone to three men seen here left to
[15:21] right. Philip Anderson of Bell Labs,
[15:24] John Vanleck of Harvard, and Sir Neville
[15:26] Mott of Cambridge for their work in
[15:28] solid state physics. And the chemistry
[15:30] prize went to a Belgian, Ilia Prigo of
[15:33] the Free University of Brussels and the
[15:35] University of Texas for his work in
[15:38] nonequilibrium thermodynamics. David,
[15:42] >> there was one other Supreme Court ruling
[15:44] on a subject less than cosmic but
[15:46] affecting a lot of people. There's been
[15:48] some irritation among residents of big
[15:50] cities who find their streets choked up
[15:52] by commuters from the suburbs who park
[15:54] all day in residential neighborhoods.
[15:56] Several cities now have put in new laws
[15:59] saying commuters can't park there, that
[16:01] only people who live in the neighborhood
[16:03] can park there. Well, today the Supreme
[16:06] Court said these laws are fine, legal,
[16:08] constitutional. The commuters won't like
[16:10] it, but they have lost.
[16:15] >> Everybody's tummy ready.
[16:18] >> ALL RIGHT, TUMMY, get ready for THE
[16:21] BRAND NEW JELLO PUDDING FLAVOR BUTTER
[16:23] PEAN.
[16:25] Wait a minute. Tummy wants to know if it
[16:27] tastes smooth and creamy.
[16:31] >> Mel says it tastes delicious.
[16:34] And Tommy says, "Well, what are we
[16:35] waiting for?" Eat up. Here we go. Kids
[16:38] love Jello brand pudding. And now
[16:40] there's a new flavor. Butterbec can.
[16:42] >> What does your tummy say?
[16:46] >> The Amway story has many chapters and
[16:49] this is one of them.
[16:51] >> We'll look for the event.
[16:53] >> We're proud to be Amway distributors.
[16:56] >> It's our way of proving that free
[16:57] enterprise works.
[16:58] >> With Amway, we have our own pie
[17:00] business.
[17:01] >> We run it. We're the boss.
[17:02] >> And we're responsible for our own
[17:04] success. So, you know, we care about our
[17:07] customers
[17:07] >> just like your Amway distributor cares
[17:09] about you.
[17:10] >> See your Amway distributor
[17:12] >> and get the whole story.
[17:23] Jenner's going to do it. He's won the
[17:25] gold, but he's going after the record
[17:27] and he's GOING TO SHATTER IT. JENNER'S
[17:29] GOT IT. JENNER'S WON THE OLYMPIC.
[17:32] WHAT A DAY FOR BRUCE JENNER. I logged a
[17:35] lot of miles getting ready for that day
[17:37] and downed a lot of wedies. In fact,
[17:40] wedies has been on my breakfast table
[17:41] since I was a kid because a complete
[17:43] breakfast with wedies is good for you
[17:46] and good tasting, too.
[17:47] >> Take it from Bruce Jenner. Wedies is the
[17:50] breakfast of champions.
[17:53] >> Segment three this evening is titled The
[17:55] Children and the CIA. We've learned a
[17:58] lot of unknown activities of the CIA in
[18:00] years past. Some of them disturbing to
[18:02] say the least. Tonight, we'll learn of
[18:04] the AY's interest in children. Paul
[18:06] Altmire of our investigative unit has
[18:08] assembled these facts.
[18:11] >> These are home movies taken in the 1950s
[18:13] at a European camp of the Children's
[18:15] International Summer Village, a program
[18:18] designed to bring together children from
[18:19] around the world for a better
[18:21] understanding of one another.
[18:24] NBC News has learned that the CIA was
[18:26] studying these youngsters, some as young
[18:28] as 11, as possible future recruits. The
[18:31] studies took place at summer camps in
[18:33] Henipest, Norway and Vienna, Austria in
[18:36] 1959 and 1960.
[18:39] According to CIA documents we have
[18:40] examined, this was sub project 103 of
[18:43] the AY's top secret MK Ultra program.
[18:46] One CIA document describes the
[18:48] youngsters as a unique collection of
[18:50] young people. Another says that a study
[18:52] of the children quote will assist in the
[18:55] identification of promising young
[18:56] foreign nationals or US nationals who
[18:59] may at any time be of direct interest to
[19:01] the company. In other words, possible
[19:03] recruits for the CIA.
[19:06] Another document says no cleared or
[19:08] witting persons are concerned with the
[19:10] conduct of this project. Put simply,
[19:13] this means that the people running the
[19:14] summer camps had no idea what the CIA
[19:17] was up to.
[19:19] >> Dr. Doris Twitchel Allen was the
[19:21] American director of the camps. We spoke
[19:23] with her at her home in Trenton, Maine.
[19:25] >> But I'm stunned by it. Stunned and
[19:28] saddened. And I don't like covertness.
[19:32] So I I was very stunned to have to have
[19:35] been allied with any such program.
[19:39] I just think to be a covert is
[19:41] dastardly.
[19:42] >> You weren't all lied though. You were
[19:44] being used, weren't you?
[19:45] >> Yes, I was being used. Yes,
[19:49] >> San Antonio, Texas. NBC News has also
[19:52] learned that the CIA paid for a study of
[19:54] adolescence here and in two other Texas
[19:56] cities, Austin and El Paso, in 1958 and
[20:00] 1959.
[20:02] It was a study of how youngsters behave
[20:04] without adult supervision.
[20:06] This study, MK Ultra Sub Project 102,
[20:09] refers to data being collected on 462
[20:12] subjects in seven secondary schools. No
[20:15] child is identified by name. Again,
[20:18] another CIA memo says no cleared or
[20:21] witting persons are concerned with the
[20:23] conduct of this project.
[20:25] Professor Carolyn Sheriff was one of the
[20:27] authors of the study. She did not know
[20:29] that her research had been paid for by
[20:31] the CIA. We informed her of what we had
[20:34] found.
[20:35] >> I just feel like we've been
[20:38] we've been duped, lied to, you know, by
[20:41] one's own government. I I have been an
[20:44] academic all of my adult life and a
[20:46] researcher and I feel like I've really
[20:50] been duped and taken uh misled in a
[20:53] totally unwarranted way for no reason
[20:55] that I can see. Our our research
[20:57] couldn't possibly be of any value to the
[20:59] CI. Never could have. And if they wanted
[21:01] to read about it, it's all been
[21:03] published. You can get it at the
[21:04] library. All right. Uh as a taxpayer, it
[21:08] disturbs me enormously. What on earth
[21:10] were they doing? you know, going around
[21:12] using taxpayers money to support this
[21:14] research under the
[21:17] under some kind of a cover. It's
[21:18] ridiculous and it's horrifying and scary
[21:21] to me.
[21:23] >> Our own examination of the CIA documents
[21:26] gave no indication of the AY's ultimate
[21:28] objectives.
[21:30] Both of the studies of children were
[21:31] financed through the Society for the
[21:33] Investigation of Human Ecology, a
[21:35] research front for the CIA until the
[21:38] mid60s.
[21:39] The executive director of the society,
[21:41] James Monroe, told us that the
[21:43] intelligence value of these activities
[21:45] was simply quote to gather fundamental
[21:48] knowledge of human beings.
[21:50] Paul Almire, NBC News.
[21:57] >> Well, the world's fastest pitcher trying
[22:00] all night to be the world's fastest
[22:02] dancer and the world's fastest eater.
[22:04] >> Bird, I feel terrible.
[22:06] >> It's okay, kid. I'm going to teach you
[22:07] about fast relief. The plop plop fizz
[22:10] fizz. Also,
[22:14] this will help you upset stomach and
[22:16] head to get your fast ball working like
[22:18] this. We got ourselves a penalty
[22:23] fast.
[22:26] >> Enjoying the trip in your GM car?
[22:28] >> Oh, yeah.
[22:29] >> Want to keep that great GM feeling?
[22:32] >> Then shake hands with Mr. Good Wrench.
[22:34] He's dedicated to improved customer care
[22:36] at more than 6,000 participating GM
[22:39] dealers.
[22:39] >> You want genuine GM parts. You want your
[22:42] car fixed right on time. That's what I
[22:44] want, too. Caring about your GM car
[22:47] helps keep me in business.
[22:49] >> Keep that great GM feeling with genuine
[22:53] GM parts.

[23:34] >> Briefly today in Breton Woods, New
[23:36] Hampshire, John Connelly of Texas told a
[23:39] Republican governor's meeting that they
[23:41] should pay less attention to what he
[23:43] called a Chinese fire drill of electing
[23:45] presidents and more attention to
[23:47] electing congressmen and governors. He
[23:50] said Republicans had held the White
[23:51] House in 16 of the last 24 years and had
[23:55] done nothing to change the country. In
[23:58] Sarasota, Florida, McKinley Caner, who
[24:00] won a Puliter Prize for his novel
[24:02] Andersonville, died today at 73.
[24:06] In Stanford, California, a survey of men
[24:09] in their 60s who have been successful in
[24:12] one way or another finds their greatest
[24:14] satisfactions in life have not been
[24:16] their jobs or their money, but good
[24:18] family relationships.
[24:20] John,
[24:22] and finally this evening, the World
[24:24] Series, which begins tonight in Yankee
[24:26] Stadium. The New York Yankees against
[24:28] the Los Angeles Dodgers. Two teams which
[24:31] have a relationship not unlike that of
[24:32] the Hatfields and the McCoys. Dick Chap
[24:35] has more.
[24:38] The Yankees and the Dodgers coexisted in
[24:40] New York for 38 years before they
[24:42] finally met in a World Series in 1941.
[24:46] The Yankees won four games out of five.
[24:48] In a series best remembered for a third
[24:51] strike catcher Mickey Owens didn't
[24:53] catch, a misplay that cost the Dodgers
[24:55] game four.
[24:57] 6 years later in 1947, the two teams met
[25:00] again. And the Dodgers, again losers,
[25:03] had one consolation. They forced the
[25:05] series to seven games. Then they lost to
[25:08] the Yankees again in 1949,
[25:10] 1952, and 1953.
[25:18] Not until 1955, the sixth time the two
[25:22] teams met, did the Dodgers finally win a
[25:24] World Series. And these Dodgers of
[25:26] Robinson and Campanella and Nukem and
[25:28] Snyder and Ree celebrated with a
[25:31] vengeance.
[25:33] The following year, the Yankees came out
[25:35] on top again, a victory spiced by the
[25:37] first perfect game in World Series
[25:39] history, pitched by Don Larson. And
[25:42] after that, the Dodgers went west to Los
[25:44] Angeles.
[25:46] The only time the Los Angeles Dodgers
[25:48] played the Yankees in the World Series
[25:50] 14 years ago, the Dodgers won. A feat
[25:54] this year's Dodgers, here getting a
[25:56] playoff home run from Dusty Baker, would
[25:59] like to repeat.
[26:09] The present Yankees, symbolized by
[26:11] Mickey Rivers, their fleet and moody
[26:13] center fielder here getting a playoff
[26:15] double, would like to make it seven
[26:17] victories in nine World Series against
[26:20] Dodger teams.
[26:23] Nine times in 37 years, that's almost
[26:26] one out of every four World Series it
[26:29] has been the Yankees against the
[26:31] Dodgers. That's a remarkable record, a
[26:34] remarkable rivalry. Dick Shap, NBC News
[26:38] at Yankee Stadium.
[26:40] >> And from New York this evening, good
[26:41] night. And from Washington, thank you.
[26:44] And good night for all of us at NBC
[26:46] News.
[26:51] I love my Presto Fry Baby Deep Fryer. A
[26:54] serving or two and a juicy or two
[26:56] automatically. Easy clean syrup is
[26:58] inside and out. And look, Presto
[27:00] replaced the oldfashioned drippy basket
[27:02] with the scoop. Puts more help in your
[27:04] hand. Separates for even browning.
[27:06] Turns, lifts, drains, and serves. Then
[27:09] wipes clean. Familysize Fry Daddy deep
[27:11] fryer too. Presto Fry Baby and Fry Daddy

[27:16] first. quality that makes it last.
[27:20] Are you an overdoer?
[27:23] >> If I don't do it, who will?
[27:25] >> Someone who occasionally gets an
[27:27] overdoer's backachche.
[27:30] >> Well, that does it for today.
[27:32] >> You should try Don's pills. Dones
[27:35] contains a medically proven painkilling
[27:37] ingredient that relieves backachche pain
[27:38] and strained muscles for hours. So, if
[27:41] you're an overdoer,
[27:42] >> be careful, honey.
[27:45] >> Remember Don's pills. stones. It takes
[27:48] the ache out of backachche.
[28:24] Let me hear some of that.
[28:26] >> Remember the real happy days?
[28:29] >> Anet and Frankie,
[28:31] >> Elvis and Ike, Bobby Socks, bikinis, and
[28:34] blastoffs. The people who lived it, the
[28:36] people who loved it on Dick Clark's Good
[28:38] Old Days and NBC Big Event tonight at
[28:40] 8:7 Central and Mountain Time, followed
[28:42] by Richard Prior.
[28:46] In 1969, the world came to Seikko for
[28:49] the first quartz watch. Now from Seikko,
[28:52] today's leader in quartz technology,
[28:54] comes the first LC digital alarm
[28:56] chronograph. With continuous readout of
[28:58] time and day, it shows month and date,
[29:01] converts into a stopwatch, and even has
[29:04] an alarm.
[29:06] Incredibly thin, it's only one of
[29:08] Seikko's new multiode LC digitals.
[29:11] Seikko. Someday all watches will be made
[29:14] this way.
