[0:03] As Saddam Hussein dares the UN, the

[0:05] Pentagon prepares for a possible air

[0:08] strike against Iraq. Murder charges

[0:10] against the so-called suicide doctor are

[0:13] dismissed.

[0:14] >> The ball is in the court of the medical

[0:16] profession. This is the way it's always

[0:17] should have been.

[0:19] >> And eye on America. Tonight, teaching

[0:21] teenagers how to avoid a runin with the

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

[0:26] >> John Doe. You're going to be a John Doe.

[0:28] John Doe.

[0:30] This is the CBS Evening News.

[0:37] Good evening, Dan Rather reporting.

[0:39] Spokesman for President Bush have begun

[0:41] talking up the possibility of new US air

[0:44] strikes against Saddam Hussein. The air

[0:46] raids, it is said, would be in response

[0:49] to Saddam's defiance of UN weapons

[0:51] inspectors. Correspondent Jim Stewart is

[0:54] tracking developments at the Defense

[0:55] Department.

[0:57] The Pentagon is reviewing plans for US

[0:59] aircraft to join in a multinational air

[1:02] strike against Iraq, where a tense

[1:04] standoff is underway outside its

[1:05] agricultural ministry, believed by UN

[1:08] inspectors to be a weapons research

[1:10] facility. Sources say Iraqi leader

[1:12] Saddam Hussein appears ready to suffer

[1:14] the blow in a bold gamble that the

[1:16] US-led coalition that defeated him last

[1:18] year has grown weary and lost its nerve.

[1:21] An air strike, one or two or three

[1:23] really would do nothing compared to the

[1:25] ugly crimes committed daily against the

[1:27] Iraq people.

[1:28] >> The plans call for US F-17 and F-15s

[1:31] based in Saudi Arabia to join with other

[1:33] coalition aircraft for a series of

[1:35] punitive raids. US naval forces led by

[1:38] the aircraft carriers Saratoga in the

[1:40] Mediterranean and the Independence and

[1:42] the Persian Gulf are also on hand. The

[1:44] strike plans are awaiting final action

[1:46] by the UN Security Council, an

[1:48] international blessing seen as key to

[1:50] any US military involvement.

[1:52] >> Our actions in the Persian Gulf have

[1:54] consistently been uh through

[1:56] multinational efforts, including the UN

[1:59] and the coalition that was formed.

[2:01] >> Targets would include communications

[2:03] facilities, bridges, and possibly the

[2:05] agricultural ministry itself. President

[2:07] Bush insisted today that the Iraqis

[2:09] comply. The Iraqis responded that

[2:11] they've had enough of inspections.

[2:13] >> Today you have the office of the

[2:15] minister inspected and tomorrow the

[2:17] office of the president will be

[2:18] inspected. And so it's a matter of

[2:20] humiliation rather than a bonafide

[2:22] inspection.

[2:22] >> Rumors swept the Middle East again today

[2:24] that Saddam was dead, the victim of an

[2:26] assassination. But reports from inside

[2:28] Iraq indicate otherwise and portray him

[2:31] as still very much the man in charge.

[2:34] This latest game of brinksmanship is not

[2:36] without risk for the UN coalition as

[2:37] well, which still has troops and

[2:39] inspectors inside Iraq. Any act of

[2:41] retribution against them for an air

[2:43] strike suggested one source would bring

[2:45] on a no holes barred response

[2:47] reminiscent of the Persian Gulf War. Jim

[2:49] Stewart, CBS News. The Pentagon. More

[2:52] tonight about aid sent to Saddam Hussein

[2:55] before the Gulf War by the Bush

[2:56] administration. CBS News has been told

[2:59] that Democratic Congressman Henry

[3:00] Gonzalez of Texas now has a document

[3:03] which he says proves that the president

[3:05] and his administration sent equipment to

[3:08] Iraq which they knew could be used in

[3:10] Saddam's nuclear weapons program. This

[3:13] despite repeated official denials by the

[3:16] State Department that the United States

[3:18] was involved in exporting equipment that

[3:20] could be used for atomic weapons.

[3:22] Gonzalez will tell Congress tonight that

[3:24] in fact the president and those around

[3:26] him knew a great deal about Saddam's

[3:28] nuclear weapons program long before Iraq

[3:31] invaded Kuwait and decided to go ahead

[3:34] and ship the stuff anyway. In Cairo

[3:36] today, the first summit between Israeli

[3:38] and Egyptian leaders in 6 years, Egypt's

[3:40] President Hashn Mubarak met with

[3:43] Israel's new prime minister, Yatsak

[3:44] Rabine. Afterward, Mubarak praised

[3:47] Ravine's freeze on new settlements in

[3:49] the West Bank, and the Egyptian

[3:51] president accepted an invitation to

[3:53] visit Israel. At the World AIDS

[3:56] Conference, US health experts huddled

[3:58] today about the newest AIDS concern. Is

[4:01] there a new and undetectable strain of

[4:04] the disease? And what about a possible

[4:07] vaccine? Health correspondent Edie

[4:09] Magnus is at the conference in Amsterdam

[4:11] and she has the latest tonight on what

[4:12] the experts know and don't know.

[4:16] >> The virus mystery deepened today. Dogged

[4:18] by questions about published reports of

[4:20] a possible new or mutant AIDS virus. US

[4:23] experts called a special session. Dr.

[4:26] Jeffrey Lawrence confirmed he's found

[4:28] five cases of people who have a disease

[4:30] that looks a lot like AIDS but have no

[4:32] sign of the known HIV viruses.

[4:35] >> This is exceedingly rare. We have been

[4:37] looking for this for years.

[4:38] >> Then federal officials had to confirm

[4:40] they've seen these strange cases, too.

[4:42] Six of them. But they aren't worried.

[4:44] >> We didn't feel that when we learned of

[4:47] these some of these cases several months

[4:49] ago, there was a need to alert the

[4:52] American public and the world as to the

[4:54] existence of these cases.

[4:56] >> Curran said there's no evidence there's

[4:58] a stealth virus out there undetectable

[5:00] and a potential threat to the blood

[5:01] supply. And he stressed the cases are so

[5:04] rare. But then other doctors came

[5:06] forward. They've seen the same AIDS-like

[5:09] syndrome, too.

[5:10] >> We were quite confident they're not the

[5:12] usual cases of HIV1 or HIV 2.

[5:15] >> The whole thing clearly rattled the US

[5:17] health establishment, which promised to

[5:19] investigate further, but repeated, "No

[5:21] one should worry.

[5:22] >> The information we've heard today does

[5:24] not in any way raise any concerns about

[5:27] uh a renewed threat to the safety of

[5:29] blood for transfusion." All of this took

[5:32] attention away from what promised to be

[5:34] one of the more exciting aspects of this

[5:36] conference, vaccine research, which

[5:38] appears to be inching forward with some

[5:40] success. This year's star candidate, a

[5:43] vaccine given to patients already

[5:45] infected with the virus, but who have

[5:47] not yet developed full-blown disease.

[5:50] Initial trials show the so-called

[5:51] therapeutic vaccine considerably

[5:54] lessened the amount of virus in their

[5:55] bodies, helping to stabilize their

[5:57] immune systems. These are quite striking

[6:00] significant uh real reproducible uh

[6:03] observations

[6:05] >> and preventative vaccines appear to have

[6:07] passed critical safety tests.

[6:09] Researchers caution the first ones out

[6:11] there may not be 100% effective, but

[6:14] waiting for a winner would be a mistake.

[6:16] >> You shouldn't wait to find the ideal

[6:18] vaccine. A less than perfect vaccine

[6:20] will do more to prevent infections than

[6:23] waiting several years to find the

[6:25] perfect vaccine. As today's events made

[6:27] clear, a vaccine can't come too soon.

[6:30] The dangers of this epidemic, real or

[6:33] imagined, continue to frighten everyone.

[6:36] Edy Magnus, CBS News, Amsterdam.

[6:39] >> This country's most outspoken advocate

[6:41] of doctorass assisted suicide won a big

[6:44] one today in Michigan. Dr. Jack Kavorian

[6:46] will not stand trial for murder after

[6:48] all, for helping sick patients die.

[6:51] Jazelle Fernandez has more about the

[6:53] doctor and the law.

[6:55] Dr. Jack Kavorvorian called today's

[6:57] ruling an ethical victory that will only

[6:59] fuel his crusade, one he adamantly

[7:02] believes is a mission of mercy, not

[7:04] murder. For the second time, Kavorian

[7:06] beat first-degree murder charges for

[7:08] helping chronically ill patients and

[7:10] their lives. The charges involved two

[7:12] Michigan women who videotaped their

[7:14] desires to die and their gratitude to

[7:17] the men who would make it possible.

[7:19] >> What is it you want? What is it? Yeah, I

[7:22] want I want to die.

[7:25] >> Kaborin was present during the deaths,

[7:27] but did not trigger the devices. In

[7:29] Michigan, there is no law that makes

[7:31] assisted suicide a crime, so the judge

[7:33] dropped the charges. He did though ask

[7:36] not order the doctor to stop his mission

[7:38] until legislation is passed. A request

[7:41] vehemently denied.

[7:42] >> You're going to watch a s person suffer

[7:44] and keep suffering and suffering and

[7:45] dying in agony because somebody's

[7:47] debating this problem. There is a

[7:50] problem. We all agree on that. any

[7:51] rational person would. If there's a

[7:53] problem, I implore my colleagues to come

[7:56] forward and do something.

[7:57] >> To Kavorvorian, that means integrating

[7:59] supervised suicides into mainstream

[8:01] medicine. But is America ready?

[8:04] >> But we have a long way to go before we

[8:06] really reach a consensus about whether

[8:09] physicians should actively kill. We're

[8:12] not at the end of that debate. Kavorian

[8:14] wants to act as if we are and take the

[8:17] law and medical ethics into his own

[8:19] hands. He can't. But this woman, whose

[8:21] battle with cancer had her once

[8:23] contemplating suicide, strongly believes

[8:25] in Kavorian's work. Living or dying, she

[8:28] says, must be a personal choice.

[8:30] >> It's up to an individual. Pain is

[8:33] different for every person. What's

[8:35] tolerable for one person is not

[8:36] tolerable for another person. What is a

[8:39] quality of life for one person is a

[8:41] non-quality of life for another person.

[8:44] >> Prosecutors tonight say they will appeal

[8:46] the ruling. The American Medical

[8:47] Association says medical ethics are

[8:49] clear that doctors cannot intentionally

[8:52] cause death under any circumstances. But

[8:54] in a recent survey, most Americans

[8:56] believe doctors should have that right

[8:58] if that's what the patient wants. Dan

[9:00] >> Jazelle Fernandez. Thanks. Still ahead

[9:02] on tonight's CBS Evening News, faces of

[9:05] doubt as the government predicts

[9:07] economic improvement again and a real

[9:10] life Romeo and Juliet in a love story

[9:13] from a war zone.

[9:22] I mean, I've had some pretty good

[9:23] cereals in my time, but trouble with

[9:25] this cereal, it ain't got no soul. I

[9:28] mean, it needs something to make it

[9:29] sing. All you got are flakes in a bowl.

[9:38] I should have put this in before open my

[9:39] mouth. Simple, crispy. It's good. All

[9:42] right. Kellogg's cornflakes.

[9:44] >> Kellogg's cornflakes.

[9:47] >> You're singing to me, baby.

[9:49] >> Taste them again for the first time.

[9:51] Nighttime. One of the worst times for

[9:54] pain. Minor arthritis pain. Muscle

[9:56] aches. Pain that seems to go on. That's

[9:58] why you need Ultra Strength Ben Gay. The

[10:01] strongest Ben Gay ever. You can say good

[10:03] night to your pain with Ultra Strength

[10:05] Ben Gay. There's a certain itch that's

[10:08] so private, most people will only

[10:10] discuss it with their doctor.

[10:11] Fortunately, now you can get new Anusol

[10:14] HC1 ointment

[10:16] over the counter with the same

[10:18] prescription strength doctors have

[10:20] prescribed most.

[10:23] What could very well decide the

[10:24] presidential election is jobs and behind

[10:27] that the overall economy? Everyone is

[10:29] asking when does the job market pick up?

[10:31] When is the economy going to get better?

[10:33] Today, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan

[10:35] Greenspan gave his election year answer.

[10:38] Money correspondent Ray Brady has our

[10:39] report.

[10:41] central tendencies of

[10:42] >> in his midyear report to Congress, the

[10:44] Federal Reserve chairman tried to put a

[10:46] bright face on the economy, predicting

[10:49] that it will slowly pick up speed.

[10:51] >> The economic expansion is likely to

[10:53] strengthen moderately to a range of 2

[10:56] and 3/4 to 3%.

[10:58] >> But that kind of slow growth in an

[11:00] election year would make only a small

[11:03] dent in the number of jobless Americans.

[11:06] So Greenspan's optimism brought an

[11:08] unusually tough reaction from members of

[11:10] the Senate Banking Committee.

[11:12] >> You said the same thing last year to us

[11:15] and and what is happening is people in

[11:16] the country don't have any confidence

[11:18] anymore. You and the rest of the group

[11:20] are in this ivory tower and you don't

[11:22] know what's taking place in Main Street.

[11:25] >> In an effort to help things along on

[11:26] Main Street, the Federal Reserve has cut

[11:28] interest rates 23 times over the past 3

[11:31] years. The strategy was this. If you get

[11:34] interest rates low enough, people will

[11:36] spend money again and that will pick up

[11:38] the whole economy.

[11:40] >> WHEN DO WE WANT THEM?

[11:42] >> BUT TALK TO workers protesting all those

[11:44] job cuts coming at General Motors.

[11:47] >> We will not GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT.

[11:50] WE'RE GOING TO GO DOWN FIGHTING.

[11:53] >> They'll give you one reason lower

[11:55] interest rates aren't getting Americans

[11:57] to spend.

[11:58] >> If my job is threatened, I don't take

[12:00] money out of my pocket. I keep it,

[12:02] >> you know, I don't I don't spend it.

[12:04] Number one is is jobs. The economy is

[12:06] really bad and people are not working.

[12:09] >> While Greenspan did predict some drop in

[12:11] unemployment, he was less optimistic

[12:14] when asked the question that's bothering

[12:16] many.

[12:16] >> Is unemployment apt to go to 8%.

[12:19] >> Is it?

[12:20] >> Yes.

[12:21] >> I really don't know. I certainly hope

[12:23] not. An answer that's no consolation for

[12:26] workers like these facing the loss of

[12:28] their jobs at a time when few new jobs

[12:31] are opening up. Ray Brady, CBS News, New

[12:35] York.

[12:36] >> And nearly 900 more American can say

[12:39] adios to their jobs. Smith Corona

[12:42] announced today that it's moving its

[12:43] manufacturing operations to Mexico where

[12:46] labor is a lot cheaper. That means

[12:48] typewriters which were invented in the

[12:50] United States will no longer be made

[12:52] here. Stay with us now for more of the

[12:54] CBS Evening News, including a mafia

[12:57] slaughter and a demand for justice.

[13:06] >> Morning breath.

[13:07] >> Once you're married, you get used to it.

[13:09] >> Deep down, you know it's a problem.

[13:12] >> I don't smell like that.

[13:13] >> Lucky you.

[13:15] >> Morning breath. If I had it, they'd tell

[13:17] me.

[13:17] >> Dad, how

[13:18] >> I morning breath won't make it go away.

[13:20] Scope will. It's two powerful

[13:22] ingredients kill 90% of the bacteria

[13:24] that cause morning breath.

[13:26] >> Is my morning breath really a big

[13:28] problem?

[13:31] >> There's no denying it's a problem. Kiss

[13:33] morning breath goodbye with scope.

[13:36] >> In our universe, there is always the

[13:38] unknown, the unpredictable. All we can

[13:40] do is prepare for it. AT&T is now

[13:43] installing Fasttor. It can detect a

[13:45] cable cut instantly so 800 calls can get

[13:48] back in minutes instead of hours. We can

[13:50] send flowers for any occasion, anywhere,

[13:52] but only if our 800 service is up and

[13:54] running. Our 800 service isn't just a

[13:56] phone line. It's a lifeline.

[13:58] >> I miss you.

[14:00] >> AT&T has the most reliable 800 service,

[14:02] period.

[14:04] >> AT&T. Call us.

[14:47] The FBI offered today to help the

[14:49] Italian government track down the

[14:50] mobsters who assassinated a top

[14:52] prosecutor in Sicily. Correspondent Bert

[14:55] Quint has more tonight on what's shaping

[14:57] up to be an allout war between Italy and

[14:59] the mafia.

[15:03] Thousands of enraged Sicilians demanded

[15:06] justice today as five murdered cops were

[15:09] laid to rest. They blamed Italy's

[15:11] political establishment as well as the

[15:13] mafia for the latest slaughter on the

[15:15] streets of Polmo.

[15:19] The target was Palmo's chief prosecutor,

[15:22] Paulo Borcelino, who will be buried

[15:25] later this week. The mafia blew him

[15:27] apart by remote control along with his

[15:30] five police escorts on his mother's

[15:32] doorstep on Sunday. It was a horrible

[15:35] replay of the killing of Italy's top

[15:37] mafia buster Giovanni Falconee here less

[15:40] than two months ago. Apparently, it was

[15:43] revenge for their jailing dozens of

[15:45] mafia leaders and a warning to Rome to

[15:48] keep its hands off Sicily.

[15:50] >> The mafia wants simply to show that

[15:53] indeed it has the absolute control of

[15:58] the territory. It's no secret the mafia

[16:00] has been part of Italy's political,

[16:02] industrial, and commercial establishment

[16:04] for decades. Now, threatened by a few

[16:07] investigators like Falconee and

[16:09] Borcelino and some political reformers,

[16:12] it has become more violent than ever.

[16:14] Italian officials are fighting back.

[16:17] They've transferred mafia bigwigs from a

[16:19] Palmo prison where they used to issue

[16:21] orders through visiting relatives to a

[16:23] lonely fortress called Italy's Devil's

[16:26] Island. Some political leaders are

[16:28] suggesting modified martial law for

[16:30] Sicily, but someone has to enforce the

[16:33] laws. And as long as parliament and

[16:36] local city halls are riddled with people

[16:38] who owe their jobs to the mafia,

[16:41] Italians are likely to keep on shouting

[16:43] in vain for justice.

[16:54] and why some cops don't trust teenagers.

[17:01] over here. Miss Lansbury.

[17:03] >> Yes, please. Wow. If I lifted that, I

[17:05] need extra strength buffering for the

[17:07] aches and pains.

[17:54] The good news is Total has 100% of 10

[17:57] essential vitamins.

[17:59] >> With all the vitamin news, I'm eating

[18:01] Total. It may surprise you to learn who

[18:04] over 30 years ago was the first car

[18:06] maker to build cars with seat belts, to

[18:09] make safety glass standard, the first US

[18:12] car maker to offer anti-lock brakes, and

[18:14] who today offers more models with dual

[18:17] airbags than any other manufacturer.

[18:20] That company is Ford Motor Company.

[18:22] We're committed to making safety

[18:24] innovation an important part of quality.

[18:26] >> Ford Motor Company. Quality is job one.

[18:29] It's working. It's working.

[18:32] >> Look, going to college costs a lot and

[18:34] it's not going to get any cheaper. So,

[18:35] how are you going to pay for it? Saving

[18:37] for college tomorrow on CBS This Morning

[18:39] with Harry Smith and Paul Aison.

[18:44] >> It is the job of the police to protect

[18:46] us from crime and make us safe in our

[18:48] neighborhoods. They're the first people

[18:50] we call when we're in trouble. They

[18:52] should be, most of them try to be our

[18:54] best friends. Why then is there so much

[18:56] animosity between the police and some

[18:59] teenagers? Jacqueline Adams has been

[19:01] looking into this for tonight's Eye on

[19:04] America.

[19:11] assaulted by two older youth.

[19:12] >> I got my

[19:15] home. From Boston and LA to New Orleans

[19:18] and New York, whenever teenagers,

[19:20] especially minority teens, see a badge,

[19:23] they often see an enemy.

[19:25] >> When they stop us, they don't just stop

[19:26] us and say, "Excuse me, we've been They

[19:28] curse at us. They yell at us. They push

[19:30] us around.

[19:31] >> I'm afraid of cops.

[19:32] >> What's going on?"

[19:33] >> In neighborhoods where police do not

[19:35] walk the beat. In areas where drugs,

[19:38] guns, and violence are threatening

[19:40] everyone, tensions are at a boiling

[19:42] point.

[19:43] >> You have to prepare yourself. We're

[19:45] always on the defensive. When we pull

[19:46] somebody over, we have to think the

[19:48] worst.

[19:48] >> I think they're scared, but then we're

[19:50] scared also. So, if you have a group of

[19:52] scared people together, you never know

[19:54] what could happen.

[19:56] >> It's a fear director John Singleton

[19:58] captured in Boys in the Hood.

[20:00] >> You got any drugs or weapons on you?

[20:02] >> No.

[20:05] >> I didn't do nothing.

[20:07] >> You think you tough? It's a fear which

[20:10] kids who want to stay out of trouble,

[20:12] collegebound kids, often cannot escape.

[20:15] >> I feel like I'm violated. It's like, you

[20:18] know, I'm not even a citizen. You know,

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

[20:22] That's how they made me feel.

[20:24] >> Inner city life, psychiatrists say, is

[20:26] filled with stress. Violence on the

[20:28] streets, poverty, despair. Repeated

[20:31] conflicts with the cops just add to the

[20:33] stress and may sometimes scar a child

[20:35] for life.

[20:37] >> The child is stuck. He doesn't have

[20:38] anything to show from his environment

[20:41] and then whenever he meets the outside

[20:43] world, he's told he's no good. Uh, that

[20:47] wears people down.

[20:49] >> Hands up there. What's your name, guy?

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

[20:51] >> You don't have a name?

[20:52] >> A group of public defenders who work in

[20:54] Harlem is trying to break the cycle.

[20:56] >> What's your name?

[20:57] >> My name is John Doe.

[20:58] >> John Doe.

[20:59] >> YOU'RE GOING TO be a John Doe. John Doe.

[21:01] >> Is that how you'd respond in the street?

[21:02] They're going into high schools,

[21:04] community centers, and churches,

[21:05] teaching kids how to avoid getting

[21:07] arrested by having them act out real

[21:10] encounters with police.

[21:11] >> Is your name Brandon Anderson?

[21:13] >> Encounters that went bad. you got.

[21:19] >> We hope that what they take away is a

[21:20] sense to maintain their cool, to think,

[21:24] not to talk back, and even if they feel

[21:26] they're being treated unfairly, even if

[21:28] they think the police officer is in the

[21:30] wrong, not to get into a fight about it.

[21:32] If you try and answer disrespect with

[21:35] disrespect, you will lose on the street

[21:38] with a police officer.

[21:39] >> For the cops, however, it's more than a

[21:41] matter of disrespect. It's a matter of

[21:44] life and death. My adrenaline is

[21:46] pumping. I got my stuckco pumping. I'm

[21:48] about to kill me something. A pig

[21:50] stopped me for nothing.

[21:52] >> St. Louis County Police Officer Mark

[21:54] Morell is afraid rap songs like Cop

[21:56] Killer are egging kids on.

[21:59] >> There's no need for it. You know, this

[22:01] is what causes the tensions between the

[22:04] teenagers and the police.

[22:06] >> But it's not just the kids on the street

[22:08] who need education.

[22:10] >> Prejudice is always there, even for

[22:12] children.

[22:13] >> Here in St. Lewis. The Anti-Defamation

[22:15] League is training cops to recognize

[22:17] prejudice and discrimination and

[22:19] eliminate them.

[22:20] >> I'll tell you the truth. I walked around

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

[22:23] prejudice for young black males.

[22:26] >> It was hard to let go of.

[22:28] >> A lot of this u discrimination against

[22:30] us as police officers. They don't even

[22:33] know us.

[22:34] >> I just think that's wrong.

[22:35] >> It's just my job. That's all. Nothing

[22:37] personal. But of course, hopefully I can

[22:39] reach those few that I can break

[22:41] through. Maybe get the word out that

[22:43] we're not all not out to get them.

[22:45] >> Are we communicating here?

[22:46] >> Even in these classes, the lawyers and

[22:48] the students, the cops and their

[22:50] teachers know they're fighting an uphill

[22:53] battle. This battle, however, may save

[22:56] lives in New York. I'm Jacqueline Adams

[22:59] for Eye on America.

[23:10] You've been dieting with a very special

[23:12] day in mind, which could mean you're not

[23:14] getting your daily amount of protein

[23:16] because many foods that provide protein

[23:19] are also high in fat. But not this one.

[23:22] Kellogg Special K, the only cereal

[23:25] that's fat-ree and a good source of

[23:27] protein. So make Special K part of your

[23:30] future plans and get into that dress

[23:32] you've been dying to wear. Kellogg

[23:35] Special K. Get the protein, lose the

[23:38] fat. You probably think the best

[23:41] American car value is some little econo

[23:43] box you have to settle for, right? Nope.

[23:46] It's a Buick. The luxurious Buick Park

[23:49] Avenue. That's according to the complete

[23:51] car cost guide. They calculated the

[23:54] 5-year cost of depreciation, financing,

[23:56] insurance, fuel, maintenance, and

[23:58] repairs and found that Park Avenue is

[24:00] the best American car value. For a free

[24:03] reprint from the complete car cause

[24:05] guide, call 1800 for a Buick.

[24:09] After examining, testing, analyzing,

[24:13] it's a fact. You can buy new Preparation

[24:16] Hydrocortisone cream with the maximum

[24:18] strength available without a

[24:33] itch. New Preparation Hydrocortisone

[24:36] Cream. prescription strength without a

[24:38] prescription.

[24:39] >> I was really downing those tablets.

[24:43] Come on, they're not candy.

[24:46] I started to think there was something

[24:47] really wrong with my stomach.

[24:51] Was I relieved when my doctor told me to

[24:53] try a new ant acid tablet? Introducing

[24:56] Milanta tablets. Shown to neutralize

[24:59] more stomach acid than the leading

[25:02] tablet.

[25:03] >> Unbelievable. New Milanta tablets.

[25:07] >> My doctor said myanta.

[25:10] >> A UN committee ruled today that athletes

[25:12] from Yugoslavia will be banned from

[25:15] competing as a team at the summer

[25:17] Olympics. They will be allowed to

[25:19] compete as individuals. The ban is part

[25:21] of UN sanctions against Yugoslavia for

[25:23] its aggression in Bosnia. We have a

[25:26] story from inside the war torn city of

[25:28] Sievo tonight. A love story. Bob Simon

[25:32] found two people who managed to

[25:33] transcend the ethnic rivalries that have

[25:36] torn their country apart.

[25:40] People in Sievo defy the guns and the

[25:43] siege by keeping their city alive. For 3

[25:46] months, their buses have been running.

[25:48] Their newspapers have kept coming out.

[25:50] And at noon the other day, Demir and

[25:53] Bina walked into a battered city hall to

[25:56] get married.

[25:57] With Serbian armies trying to cleanse

[25:59] this city of its mixed ethnic groupings,

[26:02] Deir and Bila staged their private

[26:04] revolt. Bila is a Serb Deir a Crowat.

[26:08] Romeo and Juliet are alive and well in

[26:12] Sar.

[26:15] >> The brief ceremony was accompanied by

[26:17] the strains of an air raid siren.

[26:22] While a few blocks away, other services

[26:25] were in progress. These observances were

[26:27] also mixed. The Muslim graveyard is in a

[26:30] hopelessly exposed part of town. So

[26:33] these days, Christians, Muslims, and

[26:35] Jews are all buried together.

[26:43] >> Tamir and Vina planned to get married in

[26:45] the fall, but moved up the date because

[26:47] they were afraid the war would tear them

[26:49] apart.

[26:50] >> We are mixed

[26:52] >> mixed marriage, like we say here,

[26:54] >> you know, and the

[26:56] If we are not married,

[26:58] >> he's she's part of her family and I'm

[27:01] part of my family, you know.

[27:03] >> Ba's mother apologized for the Spartan

[27:06] wedding party. There was no electricity,

[27:09] no meat for the Baras. But there was an

[27:12] island of sanity here, surrounded by

[27:14] Serbs and madness. Outside their living

[27:17] room, mere anarchy was being unleashed

[27:20] upon their world. Today it gave new

[27:23] meaning to the old phrase shotgun

[27:26] wedding.

[27:27] >> I have two holes on the skirt I wore.

[27:29] Yesterday I almost got killed when we

[27:31] were walking to the the office to uh try

[27:35] to arrange everything for the wedding.

[27:37] That's everyday life here.

[27:40] >> What the wedding guests say they cannot

[27:42] comprehend is how the Europeans and the

[27:44] Americans can sit around and watch this

[27:47] happen. A month ago, a local poet wrote

[27:50] the lyrics to what has become the theme

[27:52] song of the siege.

[27:55] >> The more I think, the less I understand.

[27:58] Find someone else to sing to you.

[28:01] Without Sievo, there can be no song.

[28:07] >> Bob Simon, CBS News, Sieo.

[28:13] >> The more I think, the less I understand.

[29:06] millionaires. They're not celebrities.
