[0:00] Little Tennessee.

[0:01] Talking taxes. In a speech to the

[0:03] nation's governors, the president steps

[0:05] up his criticism of the GOP tax cut.

[0:09] Concerns about filling the gap in child

[0:11] dental care now that fewer dentists are

[0:13] accepting Medicaid.

[0:15] And not every student will be welcomed

[0:18] back when Columbine High reopens.

[0:23] This is the CBS Evening News

[0:27] with John Roberts.

[0:30] Good evening. We begin tonight with the

[0:32] battle over your money and how to spend

[0:34] it. Republican members of Congress

[0:36] starting their month-long break are

[0:38] working to sell their plan to give back

[0:41] almost $800 billion worth in the form of

[0:43] a tax cut. On the other side, President

[0:46] Clinton, who took his plan for a smaller

[0:48] cut and a big pay down on the debt to

[0:50] the nation's governors today. Sharyl

[0:52] Attkisson has the story.

[0:55] President Clinton told the nation's

[0:56] governors that the Republicans hotly

[0:58] debated tax cut plan would lead to

[1:00] disastrous results. The money is not

[1:03] there yet. Mr. Clinton warned that the

[1:05] $792 billion tax is based on a projected

[1:10] budget surplus that may never actually

[1:12] come to pass. You mark my words,

[1:14] interest rates will be higher, this

[1:16] economy will be weaker than it otherwise

[1:17] would have been, and 30 years from now

[1:19] we'll wonder what in the living

[1:20] daylights we did with the opportunity of

[1:23] a lifetime. And if I can stop it, I

[1:25] will.

[1:26] But

[1:28] He'll stop it, he threatens, using a

[1:30] presidential veto. I hope that the

[1:32] president will reconsider. Republican

[1:34] Senator Don Nickles made the case for

[1:37] tax cuts. When in the world, if you have

[1:39] a $3 trillion surplus forecast for the

[1:41] next 10 years, if you don't give a tax

[1:43] cut now, when you going to give it? The

[1:44] two sides seem headed for the kind of

[1:46] confrontation that shut down the federal

[1:48] government four years ago. Yet they

[1:50] insist there is still time for

[1:52] compromise, though no one is saying

[1:54] exactly how.

[1:56] The president also chastised the

[1:58] governors for spending too little of the

[1:59] federal money earmarked for uninsured

[2:01] children, saying it should be covering

[2:03] twice as many kids. He wants states to

[2:06] be more aggressive in telling parents

[2:07] who need insurance for their children

[2:09] that the money is there.

[2:11] Sharyl Attkisson, CBS News, Washington.

[2:14] While enrolling more children in the

[2:16] federally funded health care program

[2:17] will go a long way toward providing them

[2:20] with adequate medical care, it won't

[2:22] solve all their problems. That's

[2:23] because, as Randall Pinkston reports,

[2:25] the program may not put enough money

[2:27] where their mouth is.

[2:30] Until last year, 20% of the children

[2:32] treated at this dental practice in

[2:34] Portsmouth, New Hampshire were on

[2:35] Medicaid.

[2:48] to

[2:51] It was not an issue of the patients per

[2:53] se, but simply

[2:56] Dr. John Wendell is a pediatric dentist.

[2:59] In 1998, he says Medicaid, a state

[3:04] reimbursed

[3:06] for

[3:09] The state uh simply cannot pay

[3:12] individuals dentist uh less money than

[3:15] it takes to provide the procedure and

[3:16] expect participants to uh be part of the

[3:19] Medicaid program.

[3:20] In response, Medicaid patients and

[3:23] dentists have filed at least three class

[3:25] action lawsuits to force states to pay

[3:27] more to care for the poor. Open wide.

[3:30] In New York, plaintiff's evidence

[3:32] includes a draft report from the State

[3:34] Department of Health acknowledging

[3:35] disparities in oral health services for

[3:38] the disadvantaged have grown in recent

[3:40] years.

[3:41] If you're in a low-income area and your

[3:43] child has a toothache, here's how dental

[3:45] care works if you're on Medicaid. You go

[3:47] to a hospital emergency room and you

[3:49] wait. And only if your child is in pain

[3:51] is there a possibility of immediate

[3:53] treatment. I used to wait

[3:56] from 6 months to a year for an

[3:58] appointment. They put me For one

[4:01] appointment. For one appointment.

[4:03] Cecilia Toval and her children don't

[4:05] have to wait anymore because they found

[4:07] something rare, a private dental

[4:09] practice in New York City that despite

[4:11] low reimbursement accepts Medicaid

[4:13] clients. All right, Giovanni. He has no

[4:16] cavities. But this oasis of dental care

[4:19] for the poor is in jeopardy because New

[4:21] York's governor wants deeper cuts in

[4:23] Medicaid funding. A lot of doctors are

[4:25] moving out of the region.

[4:27] Are moving out to where there are more

[4:29] private insurers. See you in 6 months.

[4:32] And with even fewer dentists available

[4:34] to treat children on Medicaid, the

[4:36] founder of this clinic predicts more

[4:38] tooth decay and more suffering. Randall

[4:40] Pinkston, CBS News, New York.

[4:43] Thousands of workers at a federal

[4:44] nuclear plant in Paducah, Kentucky were

[4:47] exposed for decades to deadly plutonium,

[4:49] according to today's Washington Post.

[4:51] Workers were told they were handling

[4:53] uranium and reportedly were not warned

[4:55] of the hazards of more deadly plutonium

[4:58] even after a string of cancers was

[5:00] detected. Joe Harding, a worker at the

[5:02] plant, was dying when he recorded his

[5:04] memories in the early '80s.

[5:07] Oh, you could see your own tracks in

[5:09] this

[5:10] uranium dust. Thinking back on this now

[5:13] just horrifies you.

[5:15] The report says the dust spread

[5:17] throughout the facility, even to locker

[5:19] rooms and cafeterias. Experts say the

[5:21] cleanup will take 75 years and cost $240

[5:26] billion.

[5:27] Out west, the controversial voyage of a

[5:29] decommissioned nuclear reactor vessel

[5:31] has ended. After a 32-hour barge trip up

[5:34] the Columbia River, the thousand ton

[5:36] vessel was loaded on to a trailer for

[5:38] the final leg of its trip to a burial

[5:40] site in Hanford, Washington.

[5:42] It will take about 3 months to bury in a

[5:44] trench 45 ft deep.

[5:47] A week from tomorrow, students go back

[5:49] to school at Columbine High in Colorado,

[5:51] the first time classes will be held

[5:53] since the deadly shooting spree there 3

[5:55] and 1/2 months ago. But the story today

[5:58] is not so much of who is going back to

[6:01] school as who is not. Christina Yao of

[6:04] our Denver station KCNC reports.

[6:08] All new painting on the wall.

[6:09] >> When the doors to the newly renovated

[6:11] Columbine High School open on August

[6:13] 16th, sophomore Melissa Saunder will

[6:15] probably not be there.

[6:18] Days after the April 20th shooting in

[6:20] which 15 people were killed, including

[6:22] the two gunmen, the school claims

[6:24] Saunder told a friend she was glad some

[6:26] of her classmates were dead.

[6:28] >> It was

[6:29] uh a comment that was truly

[6:31] inappropriate for the situation and for

[6:33] the students that had been had lived

[6:35] through a

[6:36] a very terrible event. At Columbine,

[6:39] where millions have been spent to erase

[6:41] all traces of the shooting, officials

[6:43] this week told the special ed student

[6:45] not to come back this fall. Saunder's

[6:47] parents are now suing the school

[6:49] district for $100,000,

[6:51] claiming administrators overreacted in

[6:54] the aftermath of the shooting. She's

[6:56] been denied her rights of confronting

[6:59] the people who made the accusations.

[7:02] There's no due process involved. Melissa

[7:04] says she has simply been misunderstood.

[7:07] >> Okay, it's someone else's word

[7:09] against like a lot of other people's

[7:11] words. I mean, it's one word against

[7:12] another word. Saunder says what she

[7:14] actually told a friend was that she

[7:15] hoped something good would come from the

[7:17] tragedy, not that she approved of the

[7:19] shooting. But school officials have told

[7:21] her she can either register at another

[7:23] school or get a tutor for the year.

[7:26] There's some good things about that

[7:28] school that I haven't found in any other

[7:30] school. All Saunder wants is to join her

[7:33] classmates and to put last April's

[7:34] events behind her.

[7:38] Colorado.

[7:40] Still to come on tonight's CBS Evening

[7:42] News, NATO in the middle again between

[7:44] Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo. Also, the

[7:47] fight over getting cheaper AIDS drugs to

[7:49] Africa.

[7:51] And young professionals with nothing to

[7:53] wear on casual Fridays.

[8:02] My business runs on long hours and

[8:04] Aleve.

[8:05] I can't settle for those pain relievers

[8:07] that quit too soon. Just two Aleve are

[8:09] strong enough to work all day. I used to

[8:11] need eight Tylenol to do that. There's a

[8:13] tool for every job. For tough pain, it's

[8:15] Aleve. Look at all these laxatives. They

[8:18] all contain stimulants. That one says it

[8:21] may cause cramps. Only Phillips' is

[8:23] stimulant free. Nothing's more

[8:25] effective, nothing safer. So I've heard.

[8:28] >> Phillips', safe, effective relief

[8:30] without harsh stimulants.

[9:03] The best way to cure athlete's foot so

[9:04] it won't come back is here. New Lamisil

[9:06] AT. So powerful, it does what no other

[9:09] brand can do.

[9:11] These take 4 weeks of treatment to kill

[9:13] the fungus. Lamisil AT is so powerful

[9:15] with just 1 week's use, it stops the

[9:17] itching and burning and cures athlete's

[9:18] foot between the toes. So powerful, a

[9:21] clinical study showed 3 whole months

[9:22] later, users were still athlete's foot

[9:24] free.

[9:25] Now without a prescription. New Lamisil

[9:28] AT, the best way to cure athlete's foot.

[9:34] The first members of an international

[9:36] police force to back up NATO

[9:38] peacekeepers in Kosovo finally arrived

[9:40] today in Pristina. In another Kosovo

[9:42] town, French peacekeepers scuffled for a

[9:44] second day with ethnic Albanians trying

[9:47] to cross a bridge to the Serb-controlled

[9:49] district. In South Africa, a raging AIDS

[9:52] epidemic has infected almost 10% of the

[9:55] population. But South Africa's effort to

[9:57] provide affordable anti-AIDS drugs Tom

[10:00] Sekora

[10:01] is waiting to die.

[10:05] I do nothing all day. I just feel pain.

[10:10] Once a month local hospice workers bring

[10:12] him some food and painkillers, but they

[10:15] have nothing to treat the disease. While

[10:17] the life-prolonging AIDS drug cocktails

[10:19] are showing tremendous promise in the

[10:21] United States and other parts of the

[10:23] world, they are not an option here in

[10:26] KwaZulu-Natal,

[10:27] where the rate of infection is the

[10:29] highest in the world. One in three has

[10:32] AIDS. These drugs in US dollars cost

[10:35] about 600 US dollars a month,

[10:38] which is between 3 and 1/2 and 4,000

[10:40] rand, and the average South African

[10:42] certainly can't afford the

[10:44] antiretrovirals for the month.

[10:46] With most African countries spending

[10:48] less than $6 per person annually on

[10:51] health care, the expense of these drugs

[10:54] is simply too dear. Drug companies

[10:57] justify their prices by the high cost of

[10:59] research and development and rely on

[11:02] patent protection as a way to recover

[11:04] their initial investment. In an effort

[11:07] to make the life-prolonging drugs more

[11:09] affordable, the South African government

[11:11] has passed legislation to allow for the

[11:13] purchase of cheaper generic versions of

[11:16] the anti-AIDS drug cocktails.

[11:18] But that has set off a battle with the

[11:20] pharmaceutical industry. 40 drug

[11:23] companies are suing the South African

[11:25] government the new bill violates

[11:27] international drug patents. We

[11:30] absolutely do not put profit before

[11:31] lives.

[11:34] But while government and business do

[11:35] battle in court, millions of AIDS

[11:38] sufferers are losing the fight. No one

[11:40] here knows life-sustaining drugs are

[11:42] even available. Doctors thought that

[11:44] since the pills are so unaffordable,

[11:47] it's kinder not to let their patients

[11:49] know. Sarah Carter, CBS News in

[11:52] Zamakuhle, South Africa.

[11:54] For the record, the Clinton

[11:55] administration says it is trying to

[11:57] resolve the dispute working with South

[11:59] Africa to find ways for it to obtain

[12:01] lower cost AIDS drugs without infringing

[12:03] on US patents. There's more to come on

[12:05] tonight's CBS Evening News. More and

[12:08] more teens caught in abusive

[12:10] relationships and the tough choice of

[13:50] disease. And Centrum Silver has folic

[14:01] Some people breed pretty dogs.

[14:33] Minutes tonight.

[14:36] Are your kids super consumers who want

[14:38] it all? Who's to blame? Be ads pushing

[14:39] products geared to the young? For adult

[14:41] guidance on how to put the brakes on all

[14:43] that greed. This week on this morning.

[14:48] Ever since the days of Romeo and Juliet,

[14:50] there has been a tendency to idealize

[14:52] young love. But the reality is that

[14:55] young love is no more immune to trouble

[14:57] than love at any other age. That's

[14:59] tonight's Sunday cover. Young people

[15:01] trapped in relationships marked not by

[15:03] love, but by abuse.

[15:07] I know now that I would not let that

[15:09] happen to me again, but at the time, I

[15:12] didn't really know that it was wrong

[15:15] what he was doing.

[15:16] In a few weeks, Robin Haideri will be a

[15:18] sophomore in high school, but the

[15:20] hardest lesson she ever learned happened

[15:22] when she was 12 and secretly dating a

[15:25] 17-year-old boy. He always wanted to

[15:27] know where I was, what I was doing, who

[15:30] I was with. He told me that I couldn't

[15:32] hang around any more of my guy friends.

[15:34] It was just I had to spend all my time

[15:37] with him. It began with emotional

[15:39] control, isolating Robin from her

[15:41] friends. Then he started becoming more

[15:43] abusive, more that he would start like

[15:47] punching me in the face and and pushing

[15:49] me down and really hurting me. It was a

[15:51] similar story for this 18-year-old who

[15:54] asked not to be identified. That's when

[15:56] I knew it wasn't love. It wasn't love at

[15:58] all. At the time, she was 15, her

[16:01] boyfriend 16. He wanted so much more

[16:03] from me than I wanted to give him, that

[16:05] I was ready to give him, that I was

[16:06] willing to give him, but he took it

[16:07] anyway. Over the course of their

[16:09] year-long relationship, he raped her

[16:11] several times. Even after she broke up

[16:13] with him, the emotional abuse didn't

[16:15] stop. Then he would call my house 20

[16:17] times a day. Then he would follow me

[16:19] home. Then he would jump on my car when

[16:22] I was trying to leave school. Domestic

[16:24] violence isn't something that happens

[16:26] just to adults. It starts with teenagers

[16:29] and at about the same rate, although

[16:31] record-keeping for both groups is

[16:32] flawed. It's believed that 10 to 30% of

[16:35] dating teens experience physical abuse

[16:38] and many more endure emotional abuse or

[16:41] mental mind games. Teenagers have very

[16:43] limited dating experience, so they can

[16:45] often they will often confuse

[16:48] um possessive, jealous, and controlling

[16:50] behavior as a sign of love. Raya Mallett

[16:53] heads New York City's commission to

[16:54] combat family violence. One of her goals

[16:57] is simply to increase awareness of the

[16:59] problem. One of the teenage girls looked

[17:01] up and said, "Wow, I didn't even you

[17:03] know, I knew I knew something was wrong.

[17:05] I knew something was happening, but I

[17:07] didn't know it was abuse." The abuse

[17:09] happens at a critical point in teenage

[17:11] lives. The most important thing to them

[17:15] is independence and exercising control

[17:17] over the decisions that they're making

[17:18] in their lives. Caitlin Finnegan works

[17:21] with Empower, a group dedicated to

[17:23] ending gender-based violence. She says

[17:25] it's hard for teens to go for help, and

[17:28] if they do, their concerns are

[17:30] frequently brushed off. They often find

[17:32] that when they want to get out of an

[17:33] abusive relationship, people aren't

[17:35] prepared to hear it, and people aren't

[17:37] prepared to believe them. Fewer than 4%

[17:39] of affected teens ever reach out for

[17:41] help. Neither of the young women we

[17:43] talked to reported their abuse.

[17:46] But when the most popular teen magazine

[17:47] in America ran a cover story on violent

[17:50] boyfriends, it prompted hundreds of

[17:52] letters like this one. He pushes, slams

[17:54] me into walls, restrains me, grabs me by

[17:57] the hair. An overnight survey on 17's

[18:00] website got 3,500 responses. 11% said

[18:04] that they had been physically abused by

[18:06] their boyfriends. 27 had been verbally

[18:10] abused. Experts say society needs to

[18:13] wake up to the existence of teenage

[18:15] abuse and start listening to children.

[18:17] Teens need to learn that abuse is not

[18:20] all right, not normal, and most of all,

[18:22] that it's not their fault. I knew it

[18:24] wasn't going to happen to me. I knew

[18:26] that it wasn't going to happen to anyone

[18:27] I knew, but it's going to happen in the

[18:28] movies, it's going to happen on TV, it's

[18:30] going to happen in soap operas, it's

[18:31] going to happen on after-school

[18:32] specials, but it's not going to happen

[18:34] to you. But it did.

[18:36] New York City's hotline receives 400

[18:38] calls a month from teens involved in

[18:40] abusive relationships. Officials are

[18:42] launching pilot programs against abuse

[18:44] in five high schools this fall.

[18:50] Nancy will have to see from near to far

[18:52] almost a thousand times today. Her eyes

[18:55] will focus on 40 labels, 60 charts, and

[18:57] 100 smiles. And in all that time, she'll

[19:00] never once think about the science that

[19:01] allows her to focus instantly at all

[19:04] distances.

[19:05] Nancy just knows that her Varilux lenses

[19:07] help her see better, and for her, that's

[19:10] a very comforting thought. Varilux, the

[19:13] comfort of better vision. For more

[19:28] pain, and it has a light fresh scent.

[19:30] BenGay SPA, it feels like a whole new

[19:44] It wasn't enough. Quaker Toasted Oatmeal

[19:46] Squares. You haven't wanted a cereal

[19:48] this badly since you were a kid. My

[19:50] dentures always fit fine. I never

[19:52] thought of them as a problem until I saw

[19:54] the video of my son's wedding. It was

[19:56] then that I decided to try Fixodent.

[19:58] Because Fixodent adjusts to the unique

[20:00] contours of your dentures and gums,

[20:02] forming a thin, powerful seal for a

[20:04] better hold than you ever thought

[20:06] possible. It was like a whole new

[20:07] feeling, so snug and secure. For once, I

[20:10] actually forgot that I even wore

[20:12] dentures. So, now I like what I see.

[20:15] Find out for yourself what it feels like

[20:17] to Fixodent and forget it.

[20:51] It was not enough to even begin to

[20:53] quench the drought, but parts of the

[20:54] Northeast saw something very unusual

[20:57] today, rain. A brief, heavy downpour on

[21:00] New York's Long Island down some tree

[21:02] branches and damaged roofs.

[21:05] The booming economy produced 310,000 new

[21:07] non-farm jobs in the past month. And

[21:09] with unemployment at a very low 4.3%,

[21:12] it's easier than ever to find a good

[21:14] job. But as Elizabeth Callan reports,

[21:17] it's also harder to find people

[21:18] interested in doing good deeds.

[21:22] There is a picture of me in a in a in a

[21:24] rainforest. Jack Coke has good memories

[21:26] and no second thoughts about the year he

[21:29] spent in Costa Rica. Absolutely

[21:31] fantastic. I would do it I would do it

[21:33] again tomorrow. Jack wasn't on vacation.

[21:35] He was there teaching English in a small

[21:37] village of a thousand people.

[21:40] This is the school where I taught. And

[21:42] this is some of my my smiling kids, my

[21:44] second grade class. He majored in

[21:46] international affairs and could have

[21:48] gone straight into business. Instead,

[21:50] Jack volunteered for a non-profit group

[21:52] called World Teach. I had to make a

[21:54] decision whether or not I wanted to

[21:55] volunteer or whether or not I wanted to

[21:57] go into this incredible

[22:00] job market.

[22:01] >> The best job opportunities in decades

[22:03] make it incredibly hard for graduates

[22:06] deciding between a well-paying job or a

[22:08] volunteer experience. We have noticed in

[22:12] the last 3 years a 20% decrease in our

[22:14] numbers, and we think that a lot of that

[22:16] has to do with the strong economy. It's

[22:18] not just volunteers. Non-profits are

[22:21] having the same difficulty competing for

[22:23] employees tempted by the money, perks,

[22:26] even signing bonuses that private

[22:28] business can offer.

[22:29] >> The whole country is much more

[22:30] interested in making money today than in

[22:32] social service, more so than I think

[22:34] I've probably seen in the last 30 years.

[22:37] Quinn Mills teaches at the Harvard

[22:39] Business School. He says there's

[22:41] legitimate fear the bubble could burst.

[22:44] He might find it difficult to get the

[22:46] kind of a job 2 years hence that he

[22:48] could have gotten this year. Jack Coke

[22:50] says finding a job since he returned 4

[22:52] months ago was harder than he expected,

[22:54] but the decision to volunteer was the

[22:56] right one. I didn't want to wake up when

[22:58] I was 40 years old or 50 years old and

[23:00] say, you know, you had the opportunity

[23:01] to do it, why didn't you do it? Jack has

[23:03] no regrets, and he started his new job

[23:07] last month. Elizabeth Callan, CBS News,

[23:09] New York.

[23:11] Next up on the CBS Evening News, a

[23:13] formal protest against casual dress.

[23:22] My feet are killing me. Now relieve all

[23:25] kinds of foot pain, even arthritis, with

[23:27] new Podiacin soak and massage gel. Is

[23:29] Podiacin really different?

[23:31] >> Yes, Podiacin is the only medicated gel

[23:33] that works two ways. It dissolves in

[23:36] water for instant pain relief, then when

[23:38] pores open, rubs in deeper for

[23:40] long-lasting relief. No ordinary rub or

[23:42] soak works like that.

[23:44] >> There's nothing like Podiacin. The pain

[23:46] is gone.

[23:47] >> Only Podiacin is specially made to

[23:49] relieve all kinds of foot pain. Courage.

[23:53] Something shared by countless Americans.

[23:56] Those who risk their lives.

[23:58] Those who battle serious illness. When I

[24:00] was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I

[24:03] was primarily concerned with really

[24:04] myself with the cancer, but secondly, I

[24:07] was concerned about possible

[24:08] post-operative side effects like

[24:10] erectile dysfunction, ED.

[24:13] Often called impotence. You know, it's a

[24:15] little embarrassing to talk about ED,

[24:18] but it's so important to millions of men

[24:19] and their partners that I decided to

[24:21] talk about it publicly.

[24:23] And after all, it can be associated with

[24:25] many conditions,

[24:26] including prostate surgery,

[24:28] high blood pressure,

[24:30] diabetes, or even smoking. The point I

[24:33] want to make is there are many

[24:34] treatments available for ED. So, my

[24:36] advice is get a medical checkup. It's

[24:39] the best way to get educated about ED

[24:41] and what can be done to treat it. It may

[24:43] take a little courage,

[24:44] but I've always found that everything

[24:46] worthwhile does.

[24:58] You didn't save me any?

[25:01] There wasn't enough. Quaker Toasted

[25:03] Oatmeal Squares, you haven't wanted a

[25:04] cereal this badly since you were a kid.

[25:07] Wedding season is here, and isn't it

[25:08] nice to know there's one thing that will

[25:10] never let you down, Thompson's Wood

[25:12] Protector. For rain, sun, mildew, it's

[25:14] the most powerful Thompson's yet. You

[25:16] may now protect the deck. Thompson's

[25:18] Wood Protector it never takes a day off.

[25:22] How would you react if you lost a

[25:23] fortune in a matter of seconds? Day

[25:25] traders live with that kind of tension

[25:27] every day. But did those high-stakes

[25:29] risks cause Atlanta gunman Mark Barton

[25:31] to snap? Day trading exposed, a

[25:34] first-ever industry investigation shows

[25:36] what it's really like on the inside.

[25:38] Monday on the CBS Evening News with Dan

[25:41] Rather.

[25:43] As another business week is about to

[25:45] begin, some notes about proper workplace

[25:47] wardrobe. More and more companies have

[25:49] adopted casual days, which are supposed

[25:51] to make workers more relaxed. But

[25:54] Jacqueline Adams finds that dressing

[25:56] down for success is causing all kinds of

[25:59] stress.

[26:01] In the 1950s, the button-down man in the

[26:04] gray flannel suit was the ultimate

[26:06] symbol of success. A man who worked with

[26:08] his mind, not his hands. A man who could

[26:11] be trusted. Since the computer

[26:13] revolution, though, the billionaire

[26:15] geniuses of the Silicon Valley have

[26:17] launched another trend. In the '90s,

[26:19] they call it casual chic. We rely on our

[26:22] lawyers every day to make far more

[26:24] weighty judgments about what's in our

[26:27] clients' interest than than just what

[26:28] they're wearing. Even in conservative

[26:30] Washington, D.C., the power suit has

[26:32] been replaced by khakis and polo shirts.

[26:35] Last year, the law partners at Morgan

[26:37] Lewis instituted casual Fridays. Both

[26:40] clients and staff were so enthusiastic,

[26:43] this entire month has been dubbed casual

[26:45] August. When corporate America, and that

[26:48] is the story, decided that they could be

[26:49] casual in appropriate circumstances, the

[26:51] rest of us

[26:52] followed the lead. Well, maybe. A survey

[26:55] conducted by Levi Strauss, a major

[26:57] beneficiary of this trend, finds that

[26:59] 87% of Americans go casual at least some

[27:03] of the time. Naturally, there's been a

[27:05] backlash. Increasingly, workers complain

[27:07] that casual attire has become a

[27:09] corporate straitjacket. Should I go with

[27:12] a polo today? Should I go with a

[27:13] long-sleeved shirt today? What color

[27:15] khakis to wear? There's only so many

[27:17] different colors you can wear, and

[27:19] it's a it can be a little stressful.

[27:22] Every morning, 23-year-old Steven Katz

[27:24] agonizes before his closet. He worries

[27:27] he'll be an outcast if he wears the

[27:28] expensive suits he bought upon joining

[27:30] the accounting giant Ernst & Young. The

[27:33] firm has just decided to go casual

[27:35] year-round. Cuz nobody wants to be shown

[27:37] up. It's a new interesting project. New

[27:39] Jersey's Public Relations agency

[27:41] has gone to the other extreme. Casual

[27:44] Fridays have been replaced by formal

[27:46] Fridays. It conveys the message of the

[27:48] care that we give to clients. Allison

[27:50] who dreamed up the idea, thinks

[27:53] her workers are more productive in

[27:55] formal wear. If I was in jeans and

[27:57] t-shirt, I would be normally like

[27:58] slouching. Whether casual or formal, it

[28:00] seems the old cliché is true. Clothes do

[28:03] make the man or woman.
