[0:01] Russia and the West inch toward a plan
[0:04] to end the war. The American former PS
[0:07] get the Purple Heart as the Pentagon
[0:09] reveals they were beaten by their served
[0:12] captives. Searchers look through
[0:14] shattered homes for still missing
[0:16] victims of the Great Plains tornadoes.
[0:19] And this man says police pulled him over
[0:22] simply because he's black. Wait till you
[0:24] see what he did about it.
[0:28] This is the CBS Evening News
[0:32] with Dan Rather reporting from CBS News
[0:35] headquarters in New York. Good evening.
[0:37] For the first time since NATO launched
[0:39] the air war to stop ethnic cleansing in
[0:41] Yugoslavia, all sides tonight are
[0:44] talking about a possible peace plan.
[0:46] Russia made the key move today, meeting
[0:48] with the US and its allies in Germany.
[0:50] The Russians endorsed NATO's basic
[0:52] demands, a Serb withdrawal from Kosovo
[0:55] with some kind of international armed
[0:57] force to keep the peace. Still,
[0:59] President Clinton said NATO will keep on
[1:01] with its bombing campaign. CBS's Scott P
[1:04] is traveling with the president.
[1:06] >> I think there is a real peace process
[1:08] underway. But
[1:09] >> today, the United States completed the
[1:11] isolation of Slobodon Mallich. In
[1:14] Germany, Mr. Clinton praised Russia for
[1:16] joining allied demands. No, this is the
[1:19] first time that the uh the Russians have
[1:22] publicly said they would support an
[1:24] international security as well as a
[1:27] civilian force uh in Kosovo.
[1:31] >> Now, Russia joins allied demands for
[1:33] military force to keep the peace after
[1:36] Kosovo's liberation, withdrawal of Serb
[1:38] forces, return of refugees, and Kosovo
[1:41] self-government. Russia had once warned
[1:44] NATO that it risked World War III in
[1:46] Kosovo, but they reversed themselves at
[1:49] today's foreign minister's meeting
[1:50] because they see their own priorities in
[1:53] jeopardy, such as economic ties with the
[1:55] West. This was also the day that Mr.
[1:58] Clinton met for the very first time with
[2:00] the refugees of Kosovo's terror. three
[2:03] Serb police officers
[2:06] approached me
[2:09] and said, uh, say goodbye to all members
[2:12] of your family.
[2:14] And I just couldn't couldn't say goodbye
[2:17] to them, to my children.
[2:19] >> And I would like to to again say to all
[2:22] of you, um,
[2:26] I am very grateful that you came here
[2:28] and said what you did today. I know it
[2:30] was hard.
[2:30] >> Most of all,
[2:31] >> Mr. Clinton told the refugees, "You will
[2:33] go home." That day may be sooner than
[2:36] many believe. Sources tell CBS News US
[2:39] electronic eavesdropping shows dissent
[2:41] inside the Mallich government. One
[2:44] source said, "We're quite sure it's
[2:46] growing." The White House now expects
[2:48] Mallich to try some peace initiatives of
[2:50] his own. One key adviser to the
[2:52] president told us that Mallich will try
[2:54] some half measures until he realizes
[2:57] NATO won't meet him halfway. Scott Py,
[3:00] CBS News, Frankfurt.
[3:02] >> In Belgrade, a senior aid to Sloban
[3:04] Mallich said the Serbs need to more know
[3:07] more about the plan. A key Greek
[3:09] negotiators working with Mallosvich. The
[3:12] key sticking point has always been the
[3:13] composition of an international force.
[3:15] Mallosich still wants to exclude NATO
[3:18] countries. CBS's John Roberts has the
[3:20] latest from the Yugoslav capital.
[3:23] as he met today with the Greek envoy,
[3:25] one of the few friends he has left. Slob
[3:27] and Mallosvich appeared to be moving
[3:29] closer to a deal. Yugoslavian officials
[3:31] say they are now willing to negotiate
[3:33] with the United Nations on the specifics
[3:36] of a security force in Kosovo. Though a
[3:38] foreign ministry spokesman insisted only
[3:40] certain countries would be welcome. the
[3:42] constructive role of Russia qualify
[3:44] Russia to take to to participate as a m
[3:47] major player here and other friendly and
[3:49] neutral countries who did not
[3:51] participate in direct aggression against
[3:54] Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. But
[3:56] Mallich
[3:58] conditions with Russia and NATO today
[4:01] appearing to bridge their differences.
[4:03] The Serb leader is increasingly isolated
[4:05] politically abroad and at home.
[4:09] A former opposition leader who tried to
[4:11] topple Mallovich in 1996 says he must be
[4:14] overthrown.
[4:15] >> We as as democratic opposition will try
[4:18] to remove him from the office after the
[4:20] war. Our first call is to remove from
[4:23] the war. Uh he he has destroyed our
[4:27] country.
[4:27] >> And there was opposition too from
[4:29] moderate Albanian leader Ibrahim
[4:31] Ruggova. Belgrade let Rugova leave
[4:33] Yugoslavia yesterday in hopes his
[4:35] release from house arrest could help to
[4:37] pave a way out of the conflict. Instead,
[4:40] he sided with the West and called for
[4:42] NATO to be included in any peacekeeping
[4:45] force. Even if NATO wins the battle over
[4:47] peacekeepers, Malloich may have
[4:49] ultimately won the war. He is well aware
[4:52] that more than half of the ethnic
[4:53] Albanians who fled Kosovo may never
[4:56] return. Reducing their number and
[4:58] shifting the ethnic balance back toward
[5:00] the Serbs was always believed to be his
[5:02] unspoken intention. John Roberts, CBS
[5:05] News, Belgrade. More than 685,000
[5:09] refugees have fled the Serbs ethnic
[5:11] cleansing campaign. But now, after 6
[5:12] weeks, NATO insists it is gaining the
[5:14] upper hand against the Yugoslav army in
[5:17] Kosovo. NATO estimates air strikes have
[5:19] destroyed about half the ammunition
[5:21] stored in Kosovo and about 20% of the
[5:23] armed forces. But as CBS's David Martin
[5:26] underscores, the Serbs have already
[5:28] accomplished much of their ethnic
[5:30] cleansing mission.
[5:32] An unmanned reconnaissance drone catches
[5:34] the Serb army in the act. Watch as the
[5:37] tank in the middle of the screen
[5:39] deliberately crushes the white car, then
[5:41] backs up and drives away past a burning
[5:44] house and down the road, presumably to
[5:47] the next hamlet. A second video shows a
[5:49] line of campfires stretching more than
[5:51] 10 mi along a road. people living in the
[5:54] open after being forced out of their
[5:56] homes. That was last month. Now with
[5:59] planes picking off every tank they find,
[6:01] NATO says Serb forces no longer operate
[6:04] with such impunity.
[6:05] >> When they hear the approach of NATO
[6:07] aircraft, Milosovich's forces leap from
[6:10] their vehicles and run away seeking
[6:13] cover.
[6:14] >> Another scene from early in the war.
[6:16] Those three battered and dazed American
[6:18] soldiers. Today, the Pentagon described
[6:21] for the first time what happened when
[6:22] they were pulled from their jeep.
[6:24] >> They were kicked, punched, and hit with
[6:27] rifle butts and treated extremely
[6:30] roughly.
[6:30] >> According to the Pentagon, the soldiers
[6:32] were seized by troops wearing Yugoslav
[6:34] Army uniforms and were in no position to
[6:37] put up a fight.
[6:38] >> They had a 50 caliber machine gun on
[6:40] their Humvey. It was not uh ready to go.
[6:43] Um uh because typically when you drive
[6:46] around, you don't have the thing ready
[6:48] to fire. The Pentagon said the soldiers
[6:50] had not strayed into Kosovo, but were
[6:52] inside Macedonia when they were
[6:54] captured. It did not explain why a
[6:56] patrol so close to the enemy's border
[6:59] was not better prepared to defend
[7:00] itself. David Martin, CBS News, the
[7:03] Pentagon.
[7:04] >> At a ceremony in Germany today, the
[7:06] three former captains were awarded half
[7:07] a dozen medals each, including the
[7:09] Purple Heart for their wounds. In New
[7:12] Jersey today, a refugee from Kosovo gave
[7:15] birth to a US citizen. The family
[7:17] arrived yesterday among the first group
[7:19] of ethnic Albanians to be relocated in
[7:21] the USA. The baby boy weighed in at 7 lb
[7:24] 8 o. He's a US citizen because he was
[7:26] born on US soil. Still ahead on the CBS
[7:30] Evening News, Ken Star goes after a
[7:32] small fish with his big net. Eye on
[7:34] America investigates DWB driving while
[7:37] black. And the latest on the tornadoes
[7:39] that shattered homes and families.
[8:04] Belltone invites you to experience the
[8:06] rest of your life in crisp, clear
[8:08] digital sound. Bellton. Listen again.
[8:22] You didn't save me any?
[8:25] >> It wasn't enough.
[8:26] >> Quaker toasted oatmeal squares. You
[8:28] haven't wanted a cereal this badly since
[8:30] you were a kid.
[8:31] >> At Lens Crafters, greatl looking
[8:32] prescription sunglasses don't have to
[8:34] cost a fortune. Lens Crafters can make
[8:36] hundreds of the latest styles with your
[8:37] prescription for only $99 and we'll have
[8:40] them ready in about an hour.
[8:41] Prescription sunglasses only $99. Perry,
[8:44] offer ends soon. My joints felt locked
[8:47] up. My hands,
[8:50] my knees were stiff. And then I tried
[8:53] osteoblex.
[8:55] It's a natural supplement with a special
[8:57] blend of glucosamin and chondroitin.
[8:59] It's different from pain relievers.
[9:01] >> Osteobllex actually repairs cartilage
[9:04] and lubricates joints over time.
[9:06] >> Osteobllex helped renew my life.
[9:10] It works for me.
[9:11] >> There's only one Osteoblex. Repair,
[9:14] rebuild, renew.
[9:17] >> A powerful line of storms packing high
[9:19] winds up to 90 mph and possible
[9:21] tornadoes blew through Tennessee
[9:23] overnight. At least four people were
[9:25] killed and the path of destruction ran
[9:27] through 30 counties. It was the third
[9:29] straight night of deadly storms in the
[9:31] Plains and Midsouth. In tornado shocked
[9:34] Oklahoma, several people injured in
[9:36] Monday's twisters died today. And as
[9:39] CBS's Byron Pittz reports from the
[9:41] scene, the search for the many still
[9:43] missing and unaccounted for becomes more
[9:45] frantic and desperate with each passing
[9:47] hour.
[9:49] >> I don't even know where she is.
[9:51] >> Like many in Oklahoma, Beatatric Paredes
[9:53] cannot find her loved ones.
[9:55] >> What's your daughter's name?
[9:57] >> Nancy.
[9:57] >> Nancy.
[9:58] >> The Red Cross located her oldest child
[10:00] and the two spoke by phone, but there is
[10:02] still no sign of her 14-year-old
[10:04] Melissa.
[10:08] Fear lost in Monday's twisters.
[10:11] >> Doing all right, sir?
[10:12] >> Yeah. Everybody's accounted for in your
[10:13] house.
[10:14] >> Yeah, everybody's accountable. Okay.
[10:15] >> With door-to-door searches, most of the
[10:17] missing are now accounted for. Rescue
[10:19] teams with cadaavver dogs have covered
[10:21] every damage scene three times. But all
[10:24] they've recovered recently were body
[10:26] parts and bloody clothes.
[10:27] >> They have used listening devices. They
[10:30] have used dogs. They have used infrared.
[10:32] They have used every means available to
[10:34] search for living people. 41 confirmed
[10:37] dead and the medical examiner says the
[10:39] number would have been higher if
[10:41] Oklahomaans were not so well prepared.
[10:44] This is one of countless underground
[10:45] storm shelters in Oklahoma where entire
[10:48] families huddled in darkness until the
[10:49] tornado had passed. And around me, it's
[10:52] what's left of a mobile home park in
[10:53] Bridge Creek where 11 people didn't have
[10:56] a cellar to hide in and died.
[10:59] >> I think there's a lot of devastation
[11:00] here that's going to take a long time
[11:01] for people to heal. Local psychologist
[11:04] Stuart Beasley treated victims after the
[11:06] Oklahoma City bombing. He says it's the
[11:09] same suffering and resilience all over
[11:11] again.
[11:12] >> These people are survivors. They're
[11:14] really hard on the outside and pretty
[11:16] soft on the inside.
[11:17] >> We can build it back.
[11:18] >> Soft with a sense of humor.
[11:20] >> Well, at least we got a chair to sit in.
[11:22] >> We have lowered the price on the house
[11:24] if anybody wants to buy it.
[11:26] >> In neighborhoods hit hardest, humor and
[11:28] prayer have been good for the soul.
[11:30] Byron Pittz, CBS News. More Oklahoma.
[11:34] >> The scenes of almost unbelievable
[11:36] destruction of whole neighborhoods only
[11:38] began to tell the story. Even for those
[11:40] who now know that loved ones survived,
[11:43] some tales of survival are bittersweet
[11:45] at best. As this report by CBS's Cynthia
[11:48] Bowers reminds us,
[11:51] >> I just knew that that my little people
[11:54] were in trouble. Mother's intuition had
[11:56] Cindy Teneamman racing for the town of
[11:58] Bridge Creek, but Monday night's tornado
[12:00] made it home before she did. A call to
[12:02] her mom confirmed her worst fears.
[12:05] >> This the first time in my life I never
[12:07] knew where my child was.
[12:08] >> Her husband and two little girls were
[12:10] caught in the storm that destroyed their
[12:12] tiny community.
[12:14] >> He wrapped my girls in some blankets and
[12:17] put the mattress on all of them and he
[12:19] just told the girls to hang on to daddy.
[12:23] He was ready for God to take his own
[12:25] life and just to leave this girl.
[12:28] >> The girls were spared, but barely.
[12:30] 6-year-old Kylie has head trauma and a
[12:32] broken leg. In the next bed, 9-year-old
[12:35] Tony's brain injury is more severe.
[12:38] >> Tonnie knows. She knows she can hear me.
[12:41] I know she can hear me. She's she's
[12:43] responded a little to my voice.
[12:45] >> Doctors say it will be some time before
[12:47] they know the full extent of their
[12:49] injuries. At the hospital, Cindy waits
[12:51] and watches.
[12:52] >> How you doing today?
[12:54] >> I just want to watch him play and and
[12:56] take a bath. And I want him to sit on my
[12:59] lap and give me a hug and tell me they
[13:01] love me.
[13:03] >> That day may be a long way off. And with
[13:06] husband Tom hospitalized with a broken
[13:08] pelvis, Cindy clings to memories of her
[13:11] family the way it was just a few days
[13:13] ago.
[13:14] >> That's what my little girls looked like
[13:16] before uh this storm.
[13:19] And that's what I want them to look like
[13:20] when they come in.
[13:22] >> Cindy hopes that a mother's love can
[13:24] help with the healing, but this time she
[13:26] worries that might not be enough.
[13:29] Cynthia Bowers, CBS News, Oklahoma City.
[13:33] >> Next on the CBS Evening News, now it's
[13:35] up to the jury in a case brought against
[13:37] a peripheral player by special
[13:39] prosecutor Ken Star.
[13:47] If you could change the look of your
[13:49] floor right now, how would you do it?
[13:52] New carpet,
[13:54] a different texture,
[13:57] different color.
[13:59] How about a saxony or a cable? Maybe
[14:02] even go with hardwoods or a laminate.
[14:05] With thousands of flooring options in
[14:08] countless styles and colors, if you can
[14:11] dream it, you can do it at The Home
[14:13] Depot, where low prices are just the
[14:15] beginning.
[14:32] At Boston Market, you can get the
[14:33] chicken America loves and the deal
[14:35] America wants. Now you can buy a whole
[14:37] chicken at Boston Market for only $5.99
[14:40] and great side items starting at just
[14:42] 99. So tonight, take home the chicken
[14:44] America loves only at Boston Market.
[14:47] When I was a kid, my father made me dig
[14:49] up all the dandelions and I hate them.
[14:51] Ken made a promise to me I wouldn't have
[14:52] to pick dandelions when we had our own
[14:54] home. Ken puts on the Scots Turf Builder
[14:57] Plus Two. The dandelions go away and you
[14:59] never even see where they were because
[15:01] the grass grows in thick and green and
[15:03] rich. It takes a very short time to see
[15:05] the bright green come up in the grass.
[15:07] One easy application. No dandelions.
[15:09] Gone. This lawn is our pride and joy and
[15:12] we wouldn't trust it to anything but
[15:13] Scots. I hate dandelions.
[15:17] >> Tammy Wynette's daughters have dropped
[15:19] her husband George Richie from their
[15:20] wrongful death lawsuit. So why does this
[15:22] make the daughters happy? We'll tell you
[15:24] tonight at 6.
[15:28] The one and only criminal trial to
[15:30] result from Kenstar's year-long $4.5
[15:33] million investigation of the president
[15:35] and Monica Lewinsky went to the jury
[15:37] today. And Monica Lewinsky has virtually
[15:40] nothing to do with it. As CBS's Phil
[15:42] Jones reports,
[15:44] Julie Hyatt Steel was only remotely
[15:46] connected to the Clinton sex and perjury
[15:49] scandal. She knew Kathleen Willie, who
[15:51] claimed President Clinton made unwanted
[15:54] sexual advances. In this trial, Willie
[15:56] testified that she told Steel on
[15:58] numerous occasions about the incident
[16:00] soon after it allegedly happened in
[16:02] 1993.
[16:04] But Steel claims she first heard about
[16:06] the alleged encounter about 4 years
[16:08] later. Stars prosecutors argued that
[16:11] Steel lied and they put four of her
[16:13] former friends on the stand to testify
[16:16] that Steel had told them about Willy's
[16:18] claims before 1997. One of those
[16:21] testifying, Amy Haran. She definitely
[16:23] did tell me about it before 97 and then
[16:27] September of 96 was is the the time
[16:30] frame I would put it.
[16:32] >> Willie first told her story publicly to
[16:34] Ed Bradley on 60 Minutes. Willie claimed
[16:37] she met with the president to ask for a
[16:38] job and during that meeting there was a
[16:41] hug, a kiss, and more.
[16:43] >> He uh touched my breast with his hand
[16:47] and I I I was
[16:53] I I was just startled.
[16:55] >> But this is not a trial of well-known
[16:57] Kathleen Willie. It's about little known
[16:59] Julie Hyatt Steel, who could face a
[17:02] 35-year prison sentence. Meanwhile, for
[17:05] those at the center of this scandal,
[17:06] life goes on. Monica Lewinsky is trying
[17:09] to sell her book, and Mr. Clinton
[17:11] remains on the job as president. Bill
[17:15] Jones, CBS News, Washington. On the CBS
[17:18] Worldwide Market Watch, Federal Reserve
[17:20] Chairman Alan Greenspan today called the
[17:22] performance of the US economy over the
[17:24] past seven years quote truly phenomenal.
[17:27] And he applauded American workers,
[17:29] saying their increased productivity is
[17:31] keeping inflation at bay. But Greenspan
[17:34] warned that can't last forever. Words
[17:36] Wall Street didn't want to hear.
[17:48] It's party time. Hot tubs everywhere

[19:52] Then why did he confess to the police?
[19:55] And all new 48 hours tonight.
[19:59] >> Tonight's Eye on America takes a hard
[20:00] news look at what has become a hot
[20:02] button issue. Police profiling. Police
[20:05] stopping a driver they believe fits the
[20:07] profile of a criminal. The police say
[20:09] they're just doing their job. Critics
[20:11] charge that too often what the police
[20:13] are doing are targeting minorities,
[20:15] including African-Americans who say
[20:18] they're being stopped for quote DWB,
[20:21] driving while black. Tonight, Richard
[20:23] Slesinger has the story of a profiling
[20:25] victim who decided to fight back.

[20:41] a left turn, and saw the policeman in
[20:43] his rear view mirror.
[20:45] >> The red lights come on behind me.
[20:46] >> David Smith knew he had done nothing
[20:49] wrong, but the officer pulled him over
[20:51] anyway.
[20:51] >> I think he saw
[20:54] a black male entering a predominant
[20:56] white subdivision, and he wanted to know
[20:58] what I was doing.
[21:00] >> It was also Smith's subdivision. He was
[21:02] headed home to the life he'd always
[21:04] wanted. Good neighborhood, good friends,
[21:07] good job. He felt like he belonged here.
[21:10] >> And during that stop, all those things
[21:12] I've dreamed about were just stripped
[21:14] away in a matter of seconds.
[21:16] >> Smith says the officer told him he
[21:17] pulled him over because there were three
[21:19] antennas on the back of Smith's car.
[21:22] Smith was driving an unmarked police car
[21:25] because he's an Indiana State Trooper.
[21:27] In fact, he's a sergeant with 15 years
[21:30] experience. I just felt that if this
[21:32] happened to me, then who else is it
[21:34] happening to?
[21:35] >> Smith was never charged with anything,
[21:36] but he decided to sue anyway and in the
[21:39] process learned a lot about Carmel,
[21:42] Indiana. It turns out the Carmel Police
[21:44] Department had a reputation for pulling
[21:46] over cars if the officers thought the
[21:48] drivers didn't belong. The charge was
[21:51] they focused on people in old cars,
[21:54] young people, and frequently black
[21:56] people. In fact, one local company
[21:59] issued car tags to its employees, many
[22:02] of whom are minorities from nearby
[22:03] Indianapolis. A company newsletter told
[22:06] the workers if police cannot identify
[22:08] their cars, they may deem it curious or
[22:11] suspicious and stop you.
[22:13] >> That was a bad policy.
[22:14] >> It happened just before Carmel's current
[22:16] mayor, Jim Brainer, took office.
[22:18] >> Go back to World War II. Uh Jews were
[22:21] required to wear uh stars on their
[22:24] clothing. This is close to that and it's
[22:26] not right. Should never have been done.
[22:28] >> The city never admitted any wrongdoing,
[22:30] but it settled with David Smith out of
[22:33] court.
[22:33] >> 1,002 1,003 1,3
[22:37] >> and agreed to install video cameras in
[22:40] all its police cars to tape all traffic
[22:43] stops.
[22:43] >> Going around, put your hands behind your
[22:44] back.
[22:44] >> While the video cameras keep an eye on
[22:46] the Caramel police officers, so does
[22:49] David Smith.
[22:50] >> My feelings, my thoughts have changed.
[22:52] And for those reasons, I'm careful when
[22:54] I leave my driveway.
[22:56] >> He spends a lot more time now looking
[22:58] over his shoulder at officers he used to
[23:00] count on to watch his back. For ION
[23:04] America, I'm Richard Slesinger in
[23:06] Carmel, Indiana.
[23:08] >> Still ahead on the CBS Evening News,
[23:10] love and reunions with a lick and a
[23:12] smile among the tornado ruins of
[23:14] Oklahoma.
[23:19] Heat. Heat.
[23:50] Enough arthritis, pain, and
[23:51] inflammation.
[23:53] >> Enough morning stiffness.
[23:56] Enough. Enough of these aching joints.
[24:01] Had enough.
[24:04] Today, there are new treatment options
[24:06] to relieve your arthritis symptoms. Ask
[24:08] your doctor or pharmacist and call 1-800
[24:11] AR in INFO for free information about
[24:14] new arthritis pain treatments
[24:17] because you've waited long enough.
[24:19] >> I became interested in working in the
[24:22] brokerage industry when I was very
[24:23] young. I went to Harvard. I majored in
[24:25] economics. We had a last trade at 59 and
[24:27] 716. That was down 4 and 316 on the day.
[24:30] Throughout my life, I've I've had to
[24:31] work hard and had to focus to get where
[24:33] I am. And I'm gonna bring that ethic uh
[24:35] to my job here at Schwab. Charles
[24:37] Schwab, Adam 1229.998.
[24:40] Anytime you have a company that's been
[24:42] successful at Schwab, obviously the
[24:44] employees are driving that. And I hope
[24:46] that I benefit Schwab in their growth
[24:48] and in their success. And I will.
[24:50] >> There's nutrition news about heart
[24:51] disease. The B vitamin folic acid may
[24:54] help reduce homocyine levels in the
[24:56] blood, an emerging risk factor for heart
[24:58] disease. And Centrum Silver has folic
[25:01] acid. Centrum Silver. It's a great time
[25:03] to be silver. Grand cinnamon rolls from
[25:06] Pillsbury.
[25:07] >> Get ready.
[25:08] >> The most enormous. Ooey, gooey,
[25:11] luscious.
[25:11] >> Oh, should we wake the others?
[25:13] >> Let them sleep.
[25:14] >> Grand cinnamon rolls.
[25:16] >> They're not just big. They're grand.
[25:21] >> In the plains and mids south tonight,
[25:22] it's hard enough for adults, even now,
[25:25] to get a handle on how nature can spawn
[25:27] so much damage in so little time. You
[25:29] can just imagine how puzzling and
[25:31] traumatic tornadoes are for children and
[25:33] pets. CBS's Jim Anxelrod reports the
[25:36] impact on the smallest tornado victims.
[25:38] Some with two legs and some with four.
[25:42] In the rubble heap at 4729 43rd Street,
[25:46] these children have retrieved a few
[25:48] smiles.
[25:49] >> It's my my aunt Marcy, my aunt Cindy,
[25:52] and my aunt Sher.
[25:53] >> But only a few because 4729
[25:56] was grandma's house. What do you love
[25:58] most about grandma's house?
[26:02] >> To play in it.
[26:03] >> Everybody
[26:08] just to have fun here.
[26:10] >> Tonight, the kids of Oklahoma are
[26:12] crying. So are their parents. And
[26:14] everyone's learning to do without what
[26:16] they valued most.
[26:18] >> What do you miss most out of everything
[26:19] you lost?
[26:20] >> The dogs. They were very special to us.
[26:24] All of us. I miss mostly the dogs.
[26:30] >> He's not alone. The pounds are packed.
[26:33] Every kind of dog, cat, bird, snake.
[26:38] Someone's even lost an emu.
[26:42] >> And for every sweet reunion, there are
[26:44] dozens more that may never happen.
[26:47] >> Spread out, you know, to everybody. No
[26:51] one facility that can't can handle it
[26:53] all.
[26:54] >> Including the kids sitting on the curb
[26:56] at 4729.
[26:57] Their parents don't think their dogs
[26:59] made it. Nobody. For all the security a
[27:03] new teddy bear provides, there are
[27:05] plenty of others caked in mud, never to
[27:07] be hugged again.
[27:08] >> God failed to do this.
[27:11] He wanted to do it, so he did.
[27:14] >> I'd sometimes think that his tornadoes
[27:16] get out of control and they just go
[27:18] without his permission. In Oklahoma
[27:21] tonight, children too are trying to make
[27:23] sense of the senseless, looking at life
[27:26] in a whole new way. Jim Axelrod, CBS
[27:29] News, Del City, Oklahoma. And that's
[27:32] part of our world tonight. I'll be back
[27:34] later here on CBS with 48 hours. Bill
[27:36] Lagatuda has a preview.
[27:38] >> A teenage boy charged with murdering his
[27:41] sister.
[27:42] >> What do you miss the most about her?
[27:43] >> Her smile.
[27:44] >> He says he had nothing to do with it.
[27:46] Are you telling me that that you are
[27:47] absolutely and completely innocent of
[27:50] this crime?
[27:50] >> Yes.
[27:51] >> So why did he confess later on 48 hours?
[27:55] >> Later is 10:00 9 central time on the CBS
[27:59] television network. Now for the CBS
[28:01] Evening News, Dan Rather reporting. I'll
[28:03] see you again soon on 48 hours.
[28:08] >> Storms plummet through middle Tennessee,
[28:09] destroying homes and claiming lives.
[28:11] Tonight, Dan McDonald leads our team
[28:13] coverage of the devastation. George
[28:16] Richie says the nightmare is over.
[28:18] Jennifer Krauss has the latest twist in
[28:20] the Tammy Wet controversy.
[28:22] >> And it's official. Dell computers will
[28:24] soon be calling Middle Tennessee home.
[28:26] The news is right here, right now.
[28:29] >> Good evening everyone. I'm Chris Clark.
[28:31] >> And I'm Vicky Yates.
[28:33] >> It was a turbulent night as storms
[28:35] ripped through Middle Tennessee and now
[28:37] daylight has brought with it the reality
[28:39] of the destruction.
[28:42] Hardest hit was Perry County where three
[28:44] people were killed. A 14-year-old girl,
[28:47] a school teacher, and the county
[28:49] trustee. In nearby Hickman County, there
