[0:00] Amen.

[0:04] >> On World News Tonight this Wednesday, a

[0:06] glimmer of hope for millions of people

[0:08] who live with Alzheimer's disease. A

[0:10] major legal decision against the tobacco

[0:13] industry. On the road with the Clintons,

[0:16] the president talks about the future

[0:17] with Native Americans. Mrs. Clinton

[0:20] campaigns for a future seat in the

[0:22] Senate. And not enough planes, not

[0:25] enough people. That's the US Air Force

[0:28] after Kosovo. We'll take a closer look.

[0:38] From ABC News World Headquarters in New

[0:41] York, this is World News Tonight with

[0:44] Peter Jennings.

[0:45] >> Good evening. We're going to begin

[0:46] tonight with the very best news there

[0:48] has been in many years, perhaps ever,

[0:50] about one of the most debilitating

[0:52] chronic diseases that haunts us. At any

[0:54] given time, about 4 million Americans

[0:56] and the people who love them are

[0:58] suffering through Alzheimer's disease.

[1:01] Think of a husband or a wife watching

[1:02] their partner disappear on them

[1:04] emotionally. The body is still here, but

[1:07] the mind has gone somewhere else.

[1:09] There's been virtually no effective

[1:11] treatment. But tomorrow in the journal

[1:13] Nature, scientists will report that

[1:16] they've completed the first step in the

[1:17] process of finding a vaccine that may

[1:20] actually prevent Alzheimer's. And while

[1:22] it may be a long road, the experts are

[1:25] encouraged. First, here's ABC's John

[1:27] McKenzie.

[1:29] >> Alzheimer's disease is a gradual,

[1:32] unrelenting decay of the brain. At

[1:34] first, people forget familiar names and

[1:36] places. Over time, they forget how to

[1:39] read and talk and take care of

[1:41] themselves.

[1:42] >> Good.

[1:42] >> In Alzheimer's disease, the brain

[1:44] becomes clogged with plaque. These

[1:46] hardened clusters that appear to damage

[1:48] or disrupt nerve cells. Now, scientists

[1:51] may have found a way to stop these

[1:53] deposits from ever developing.

[1:54] >> I've been involved in treatment and

[1:56] research in Alzheimer's disease for

[1:58] almost 20 years. Uh, I would rate this

[2:00] as one of the most important potential

[2:03] discoveries that there has been.

[2:04] >> It began here at a pharmaceutical

[2:06] company in South San Francisco when

[2:09] scientists asked a simple question. Why

[2:11] not activate the body's own defense

[2:13] system to fight these plaque deposits?

[2:16] >> The idea just just uh happened one day.

[2:19] I was thinking perhaps we can stimulate

[2:21] the immune system to to actually target

[2:24] the plaque.

[2:25] >> First, the scientists bred mice with a

[2:27] human Alzheimer's gene so they would

[2:29] eventually produce that same plaque in

[2:31] the same parts of the brain. Then

[2:33] researchers took some of these mice at a

[2:35] very early age before there was any sign

[2:37] of disease and injected them with a

[2:40] small dose of that same plaque material.

[2:42] in essence giving them a plaque vaccine.

[2:45] >> Just like you would for measles or polio

[2:48] or what have you, you do an injection,

[2:50] it's a heads up to the immune system to

[2:53] now go after this plaque material in the

[2:55] brain.

[2:56] >> Scientists do not know why the immune

[2:58] system doesn't do this naturally, but

[3:00] with a vaccine, the results were

[3:01] dramatic. These research slides show the

[3:04] brain of an untreated mouse developed

[3:05] the plaque, the damaged nerve cells, the

[3:08] signs of inflammation, all

[3:09] characteristics of Alzheimer's disease.

[3:12] Compare that to a mouse that was treated

[3:14] with a vaccine. No plaque, no damaged

[3:17] nerve cells, no signs of inflammation.

[3:20] >> This is the first study I've seen where

[3:24] there seems to be really remarkable

[3:27] proof that the plaques have stopped

[3:30] being deposited.

[3:33] So, I think I think it's it's a

[3:34] breakthrough. The study showed that the

[3:36] vaccine, even given after some plaque

[3:38] buildup had begun, could prevent it from

[3:41] getting worse. And in some mice, the

[3:43] plaque deposits were significantly

[3:45] reduced. There are many examples of

[3:47] therapies that worked in mice but were

[3:49] not effective in humans. And there are

[3:51] critical questions about this

[3:52] Alzheimer's vaccine still to be

[3:54] answered. For example, would it be safe

[3:56] in humans? And even if it rid the brain

[3:58] of plaque, would that be enough to

[4:00] protect someone's memory or preserve a

[4:03] personality? The company plans to ask

[4:05] the Food and Drug Administration in the

[4:07] next few months to begin testing this

[4:09] vaccine on people.

[4:11] >> John McKenzie, ABC News, South San

[4:14] Francisco.

[4:16] >> There are several more statistics which

[4:17] help us understand the dimension of

[4:19] Alzheimer's. This year, the government

[4:20] will spend about $400 million on

[4:23] research. And if these latest

[4:25] developments show the promise, they

[4:27] believe there will be pressure to spend

[4:29] more.

[4:31] One in 10 people who suffer from

[4:32] Alzheimer's is over 65. The disease is

[4:35] progressive, which means a terrible

[4:37] burden for families. As an Alzheimer's

[4:40] patient becomes more disoriented, they

[4:42] need more and more care, which may cost

[4:46] as much as $70,000 a year in a nursing

[4:48] home. Most Alzheimer's patients,

[4:51] however, live at home. And if he or she

[4:54] lives for 8 years, which is the average,

[4:57] the cost of home care, is about

[5:00] $175,000,

[5:02] a chronic disease, a burden for all. So,

[5:06] we said at the beginning, the scientists

[5:07] are very excited about the talk of a

[5:09] vaccine. A little while ago, we talked

[5:10] to Dr. Ronald Peterson, the director of

[5:13] the Alzheimer's Center at the Mayo

[5:15] Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

[5:18] Dr. Peterson, how excited should people

[5:20] be about this news?

[5:22] Well, potentially this could be very

[5:24] exciting news for the field of

[5:26] Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's

[5:28] disease research. It may in fact turn

[5:30] the field in a different direction with

[5:32] regard to finding treatments down the

[5:35] road.

[5:36] >> Which means

[5:37] >> here to four, we've been looking at

[5:39] patients after they've developed the

[5:41] symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and have

[5:43] been trying to treat them with various

[5:44] drugs and maneuvers. This study implies

[5:47] that perhaps we may be able to prevent

[5:50] the disease or even reverse the disease

[5:52] after some of the damage has been done.

[5:54] >> I know there can be a very long distance

[5:56] in time and every other respect between

[5:58] mice and humans. But people will be

[6:02] anxious to know if this is a silver

[6:03] bullet.

[6:05] >> It has the potential of being a silver

[6:07] bullet. I I say that with some caution

[6:09] because a good deal of research needs to

[6:11] be done following this work. it needs to

[6:13] be replicated and then perhaps even

[6:16] moved into the human.

[6:17] >> Given your experience with the disease,

[6:19] are we talking years and years or

[6:21] possibly years?

[6:22] >> I could see where if this work is

[6:24] replicated very soon in other animal

[6:27] laboratories that it could move into the

[6:29] clinics uh in a matter of a few years

[6:31] and possibly uh the research could be

[6:34] done in two to three four years.

[6:37] >> Major news and more about it later this

[6:38] evening on Night Line. In Miami today,

[6:41] there's been a milestone in the legal

[6:42] battle against the tobacco industry. A

[6:44] jury has ruled that the cigarette makers

[6:46] did produce a defective product that

[6:49] caused serious illness and they lied

[6:51] about it. This is the first class action

[6:53] suit against the tobacco companies which

[6:55] has actually proceeded to trial and it's

[6:57] a big one. From Miami, ABC's Steve

[6:59] Osansami.

[7:02] >> Jurors entering the courtroom. What

[7:04] jurors have decided is a legal

[7:06] breakthrough that could cost big tobacco

[7:08] hundreds of billions of dollars.

[7:10] >> Does smoking cigarettes cause one?

[7:12] >> That cigarettes are addictive cause a

[7:15] number of illnesses.

[7:16] >> Fingal cancer, yes. Stomach cancer, yes.

[7:20] >> And that tobacco companies hid the

[7:22] truth.

[7:23] >> The the agreement was to lie and lie and

[7:27] lie about quization and addiction over

[7:30] and over and over again over decades. No

[7:33] other settlement so far, no other case

[7:35] has cost tobacco more.

[7:37] >> This verdict would be probably the

[7:41] nuclear bomb compared to bows and

[7:43] arrows.

[7:44] >> Today's verdict means Florida smokers

[7:46] and their families will no longer have

[7:48] to prove that cigarettes cause certain

[7:50] illnesses before they can go after

[7:52] damages. That makes collecting awards

[7:55] easier for as many as 2 million Florida

[7:58] residents. For the past nine months of

[8:00] trial, tobacco attorneys argued that

[8:02] smokers knew the risks of their behavior

[8:04] and don't deserve payment.

[8:06] >> People smoke because they like the

[8:09] smoke.

[8:11] They like the taste. They like the way

[8:13] it feels.

[8:14] >> These same lawyers believe state courts

[8:16] will now fill with smokers who smell

[8:18] opportunity. But anti-tobacco groups say

[8:21] complaints will be heard quickly because

[8:23] tobacco's liability has already been

[8:25] established. Still, smokers here will

[8:28] have to wait to learn how much they can

[8:30] collect and when. Those answers will

[8:33] come in the next two phases of trial.

[8:36] Steo Sansami, ABC News, Miami.

[8:39] >> On the subject of safety, there's been

[8:41] another series of crash tests to see how

[8:43] safe sport utility vehicles are. The

[8:45] insurance industry, which conducted the

[8:47] tests, gave three midsized SUVs, the

[8:50] Mercedes, the Lexus, and the Toyota

[8:52] 4Runner the highest rating for their

[8:54] ability to protect the driver. the worst

[8:56] performers with the Mitsubishi Monto

[8:58] Sport, the Chevy Blazer, and the

[9:00] Oldsmobile Bravvada. What is it about

[9:03] Delta Airlines? Another case of customer

[9:05] dissatisfaction and a big one. The

[9:08] transportation department says that

[9:09] Delta bumped more than 8,000 passengers

[9:12] from over booked flights in the first 3

[9:14] months of this year who didn't volunteer

[9:16] to be bumped. That's almost as many as

[9:18] the nine other major carriers combined.

[9:22] When we come back, on the poverty trail

[9:25] with the president and on the campaign

[9:28] trail with his wife,

[9:32] >> this is World News Tonight with Peter

[9:35] Jennings, brought to you by Bayer.

[9:40] >> All right, kid. Here we go.

[9:42] >> You got What do you got?

[9:43] >> Yeah. Yeah. All right. Come on. Come on.

[9:45] >> What would you do if someone you loved

[9:47] had a heart attack?

[9:50] Did you know it's now been proven that

[9:52] the same bare aspirin you have in your

[9:54] bag for muscle aches may actually help

[9:56] stop you from dying if you take it

[9:58] during a heart attack.

[10:00] >> Downtown lucky shot.

[10:02] >> Can your pain reliever do that? Talk to

[10:04] your doctor now.

[10:05] >> Next time I'll go easier on you.

[10:06] >> Bear powerful pain relief and so much

[10:09] more.

[10:10] >> We know all about it. Some people throw

[10:13] away the Publishers Clearing House sweep

[10:14] stakes without even opening it up. Well,

[10:16] this week that could be a costly

[10:18] mistake. Because this week, if you throw

[10:20] away a publishers's clearing house

[10:22] envelope with this green star, you could

[10:24] be throwing away a real check for

[10:26] $100,000. There are thousands of real

[10:28] checks right inside selected envelopes

[10:30] marked with a green star. Checks you can

[10:32] take right to the bank. So, watch for a

[10:35] publisher's clearing house envelope with

[10:36] a green star. There could be a real

[10:38] check inside.

[10:41] >> Hey, Dad. What are you doing up?

[10:42] >> Reliving your mother's stuffed peppers.

[10:44] >> Hard again, huh? What are you taking,

[10:46] >> Tom? And I'm back for more.

[10:47] >> You still taking that stuff? Look, Dad,

[10:50] take a Pepsid AC. One tiny pill controls

[10:52] acid all night

[10:53] >> so I can get some sleep.

[10:54] >> Next time, take one before dinner and

[10:56] you can stop heartburn before it starts.

[10:58] >> Before it starts.

[10:59] >> You don't see me suffering, do you?

[11:02] >> What are you guys doing now?

[11:03] >> Uh, nothing, dear. We were talking about

[11:05] your your peppers.

[11:06] >> I got some in the fridge.

[11:07] >> You can sleep heartburn free with Pepsid

[11:10] AC.

[11:11] With Daising Hotels in over 1,800 cities

[11:14] and towns, there's bound to be one where

[11:17] you're headed.

[11:19] You can pretty much bet on it. Gaze in.

[11:24] There you go.

[11:26] There's nutrition news about heart

[11:27] disease. The B vitamin folic acid may

[11:30] help reduce homocyine levels in the

[11:32] blood, an emerging risk factor for heart

[11:34] disease. And Centrum Silver has folic

[11:37] acid.

[11:38] >> Centrum Silver, it's a great time to be

[11:40] silver.

[11:42] On the president's poverty trail today,

[11:44] Mr. Clinton went to the Pine Ridge

[11:46] Indian Reservation in South Dakota to

[11:48] meet the Oglala Lakota Nation to call

[11:51] the American nation's attention to their

[11:53] deep poverty and very high unemployment,

[11:56] 75%

[11:57] unemployment. This is the first

[12:00] presidential visit to an Indian

[12:01] reservation in 60 years. Mr. Mr. Clinton

[12:04] said today, "Time to put away what he

[12:06] calls the pretty words and encourage

[12:08] private investment for Native

[12:10] Americans." ABC's John Cochran is there

[12:13] as well.

[12:15] Two of the five poorest counties in

[12:18] America are located in the vast Pine

[12:20] Ridge Reservation. People here do enjoy

[12:22] some of the last frontier land in

[12:24] America, but that was not enough for

[12:26] Emily Bullbear.

[12:30] Emily became the first member of her

[12:32] family ever to own a business. She

[12:35] finally got her startup loan from a

[12:37] charitable foundation after banks turned

[12:39] her down.

[12:40] >> Do you know what you want to order?

[12:41] >> She believes banks rejected her because

[12:43] she is a Native American.

[12:45] >> Made me sick to my stomach. I can't

[12:47] hide. I can't say I'm Spanish or, you

[12:50] know, I'm I'm Native American. I look at

[12:53] my last name. I'm Native American. And

[12:56] that that I that has a lot to do with

[12:58] it. While the people of Pine Ridge

[13:00] certainly want companies large or small

[13:02] to locate here, they would much rather

[13:04] have the opportunity to start their own

[13:06] businesses so that the profits would

[13:08] stay here. So today, they hoped the

[13:11] president meant it when he said, "We

[13:13] will give you the tools and the support

[13:15] to get done what you want to do for your

[13:18] children and their future."

[13:20] They told him the government is not

[13:22] doing enough to help Native Americans

[13:23] get loans and not enough to help them

[13:25] overcome a special problem, alcoholism.

[13:28] >> Without addressing alcoholism, the

[13:31] economics won't work.

[13:34] >> Patty Purer and her husband Bat are

[13:36] recovering alcoholics who now own a gas

[13:38] stationed and convenience store. They

[13:40] say it is a scandal that the government

[13:43] has not provided a treatment center in a

[13:45] place with an 80% alcoholism rate. Bat

[13:48] says it is difficult for him to find

[13:49] workers who can overcome their drinking.

[13:52] That's going to discourage people from

[13:53] coming and investing in this area.

[13:55] >> Well, they might as well know upfront

[13:56] that that's a very thing that will

[13:58] destroy them.

[14:00] >> Still, there are plenty of people eager

[14:01] to show outsiders they can be good

[14:04] workers.

[14:04] >> Made me more determined made me more

[14:07] determined to show them I can do this

[14:08] and I'm going to do this with or without

[14:10] you. The people of Pine Ridge say

[14:13] outsiders who do invest here must be

[14:15] patient that the Indian culture is still

[14:17] adapting to the world of commerce but is

[14:19] making progress. Emily Bullbear says my

[14:22] greatgrandparents lived in a teepee and

[14:25] look at me now. John Cochran, ABC News,

[14:27] Pineriidge, South Dakota. We'll get to

[14:30] Mrs. Clinton a little later in the

[14:31] broadcast. On the money tonight, a

[14:33] sizzling economy notwithstanding, it

[14:35] looks like there may be a record for the

[14:37] number of layoffs this year. According

[14:39] to the Challenger Job Survey, more than

[14:41] 380,000

[14:42] people were laid off in the first half

[14:45] of the year. The job market is so strong

[14:47] that many companies are trying to hold

[14:49] down wages by cutting employees and

[14:51] outsourcing some of the work. The

[14:54] vending machine industry is trying to

[14:55] grow the latest machines to dispense

[14:58] underwear, office supplies, and CDs. One

[15:02] company is using converted cigarette

[15:04] machines, which are banned in some

[15:05] places now, to sell art. It helps to see

[15:09] it. On Wall Street today, the Dow Jones

[15:11] Industrial Average was up more than 52

[15:13] points to close at 11,87.

[15:17] And on the NASDAQ, stocks were up just

[15:20] over six points. There's another problem

[15:22] with the Russian space station. This

[15:24] time, it is a leak on me, which has

[15:27] people worried. And we hear from a

[15:29] reliable source that they cannot find

[15:31] the cause. Though corrosion in Mir's

[15:34] aging hull is suspected, there's no

[15:36] immediate threat to the two Russians and

[15:37] a Frenchman on board. But if they cannot

[15:39] fix the leak, the Russians would bring

[15:41] the crew down in a space capsule which

[15:44] is docked at the station. In Rome today,

[15:47] a world record mile. No human has ever

[15:50] run a mile faster. Kisham Elgouge of

[15:53] Morocco in the blue jersey ran the mile

[15:56] in 3 minutes 43 seconds. That beats the

[15:59] old record set in 1993 by more than a

[16:02] second. The first mile under 4 minutes

[16:05] was run by Roger Banister and that is

[16:07] now 45 years ago.

[16:10] In a moment, why is the Air Force asking

[16:12] for a break? We'll take a closer look.

[16:20] I'm not a person who rushes into things

[16:22] until they're great. Like this new

[16:24] fabric spray, Resolve Fabric Refresher.

[16:28] It gets rid of odors safely and

[16:29] permanently and dries fast.

[16:36] See, Resolve removes the toughest odors

[16:38] with a gentle mist. Your sofa's not only

[16:42] fresh smelling, in minutes it's dry. New

[16:45] quick drying resolve fabric refresher.

[16:47] Why wait? It's in your laundry aisle

[16:49] now.

[16:51] >> Great meal.

[16:52] >> Uh-oh. Gas pressure. What now? What

[16:55] else? Gas X. With the most powerful

[16:58] medicine for fast relief. Nothing works

[17:00] faster.

[17:00] >> Hey, want to go for ice cream? Gas X.

[17:03] The power to fight gas fast. Max is a

[17:06] mighty dog. That's why he gets new

[17:08] Mighty Dog carved beef and gravy. Tender

[17:11] slices and savory gravy to give Max all

[17:14] the energy he needs. New Mighty Dog

[17:16] carved beef and carved beef with pasta.

[17:18] Mighty Dog from Fres.

[17:20] >> Nobody does it like you.

[17:22] >> She deserves a carpet that's deep down

[17:24] clean. And only Hoover gives you wind

[17:26] tunnel technology. Power to pick up more

[17:29] dirt than any other clean air upright.

[17:33] >> Deep down you want Hoover.

[17:36] >> Why wait till you get a blister to do

[17:38] something about it? Blisterproof your

[17:39] feet with Band-Aid brand blister block

[17:42] cushions. They hug your foot like a

[17:44] second skin. Stopping blisters before

[17:46] they stop you. Band-aid brand blister

[17:49] block cushions.

[17:51] It's barbecue season, the busiest time

[17:54] of the year for your deck. Which is why

[17:55] you should protect it with Thompson's

[17:57] Wood Protector. Nothing we make works

[17:59] harder longer for rain, sun, mildew, or

[18:02] lowflying meat. Thompson's Wood

[18:04] Protector. It never takes a day off.

[18:18] Ask your doctor about Viagra.

[18:25] Air power is our subject tonight. Air

[18:27] power and fatigue. The success of air

[18:30] power against Yugoslavia confounded a

[18:32] great many people who believed it

[18:33] wouldn't be enough to force the Serbs

[18:36] out of Kosovo. But it was. In a campaign

[18:39] which lasted 78 days, NATO flew 35,000

[18:43] individual missions using a thousand

[18:45] planes which delivered 23,000 bombs and

[18:49] missiles aimed at targets all over

[18:51] Yugoslavia. The overwhelming amount of

[18:53] work was done by the United States. So,

[18:55] we're going to take a closer look at the

[18:56] Air Force tonight because its commanders

[18:59] say the Air Force is exhausted. Here's

[19:02] ABC's John McQuey.

[19:06] >> At air bases across the country, they

[19:08] return to emotional reunions.

[19:11] >> Yay!

[19:14] >> For America's high technology air force,

[19:17] the campaign against Yugoslavia was a

[19:20] dominant, overwhelming performance.

[19:23] But the victory has come at a price.

[19:26] Some Air Force people felt even before

[19:28] Kosovo that they were stretched to the

[19:30] breaking point, constantly patrolling

[19:32] the skies over Iraq and always on alert

[19:35] against North Korea. To handle Kosovo

[19:38] meant digging deeply into reserves of

[19:40] people and equipment. Many bases in the

[19:43] US were gutted.

[19:44] >> 50% of our equipment is gone and 50% of

[19:46] our people.

[19:48] So many specialty aircraft like U2 spy

[19:52] planes, airborne command posts, and the

[19:54] joint stars and Awax radar planes were

[19:57] rushed to Kosovo that there were few

[19:59] left for training and backup elsewhere

[20:02] in the world.

[20:03] For frontline fighters, regular

[20:05] maintenance was skipped to keep more

[20:07] planes in the air. Now there is a huge

[20:10] backlog of needed repairs. We end up

[20:13] working harder with less people to try

[20:16] to maintain those aircraft.

[20:17] >> So if a relatively small conflict like

[20:20] Kosovo could cause such strain, the US

[20:22] Air Force is worried that it may not be

[20:25] able to handle two bigger wars

[20:27] simultaneously, which is what the

[20:29] Pentagon says in theory the US military

[20:32] should be able to do.

[20:33] >> One could postulate a number of

[20:35] scenarios that would uh take run us out

[20:38] of assets, but hopefully we won't come

[20:40] to that that situation. But but it is a

[20:43] it's a it's a fairly thin force

[20:45] >> and it could get thinner if good people

[20:48] say they've had enough. For those who

[20:50] were sent overseas, it was another

[20:52] exhausting separation from family.

[20:54] >> After about 4 days, you're just beat. I

[20:57] mean, you're just completely beat.

[20:58] >> Then it continued for 2 months. For

[21:00] those left at home, it also meant more

[21:03] work.

[21:03] >> Your hours are extended. Uh and your

[21:06] family life starts to suffer.

[21:08] >> Everybody that's come up for him that's

[21:09] been in the shop has walked. There's

[21:10] only two ways to fix it, near as I can

[21:12] tell. Either you don't have as many

[21:14] conflicts or you have more resources to

[21:16] throw at the problem.

[21:18] >> Air Force leaders say their people and

[21:20] planes are so worn out that for the

[21:22] first time in decades, they are pleading

[21:25] for a break of up to 6 months to

[21:27] recover, pleading with the Navy and

[21:29] Marine Corps to temporarily cover for

[21:32] them overseas. Pentagon sources say the

[21:34] Air Force, which probably will be

[21:36] getting more money, is not likely to get

[21:39] much of a break. Its leaders will have

[21:41] to figure out some other way to rest and

[21:43] repair the force and keep its best

[21:46] people, hoping there is not another war

[21:48] anytime soon. John McQuey, ABC News,

[21:51] Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina.

[21:54] >> Our closer look for today. When we come

[21:56] back, the candidate

[22:14] pepsid. I got to wait. Then we all wait.

[22:18] >> Take my tag. You could eat now. Hey,

[22:20] Tagamid has a better way to avoid

[22:22] heartburn. Not before, not after. Now.

[22:28] heartburn. Same old Charlie

[25:16] your home when you're not there? 2020.

[25:18] Tonight,

[25:21] >> just a brief review of our top story.

[25:22] Scientists say they've developed a

[25:24] vaccine that may one day help prevent

[25:26] Alzheimer's disease that affects 1 in 10

[25:29] people over 65. So far, only tested on

[25:33] mice, but they're encouraged. Finally,

[25:35] from us this evening, a political

[25:37] adventure begins in upstate New York

[25:38] today. Hillary Clinton unfolded her

[25:41] garment bags and embarked on a very

[25:42] carefully planned courtship. As the

[25:45] first first lady to run for elected

[25:47] office, Mrs. Clinton, as you know, is

[25:48] already getting a great deal of

[25:50] attention from the media. Now comes the

[25:52] long and sometimes painful process of

[25:55] trying to bond with New Yorkers. ABC's

[25:58] Dean Reynolds was there for the opening.

[26:03] On a sunny morning near the Catskill

[26:05] Mountains, Hillary Clinton took her

[26:07] first serious step on a very long road.

[26:10] Accompanied by the man she hopes to

[26:11] succeed, Senator Daniel Patrick Moyahan,

[26:14] the first lady began this courtship of a

[26:16] place she has never called home.

[26:18] >> Now, I suppose the questions on

[26:20] everyone's mind is u why the Senate and

[26:24] why New York and why me?

[26:26] >> She got the questions right and had a

[26:28] wellplanned answer. I think I have some

[26:31] real work to do uh to uh get out and

[26:34] listen and learn from the people of New

[26:36] York and demonstrate that uh uh what I'm

[26:39] for is maybe as important if not more

[26:41] important than where I'm from.

[26:44] >> She has her own Hillary and 2000 website

[26:46] now. No primary challengers in view and

[26:49] universal name recognition. Her choice

[26:53] of upstate New York for today's events,

[26:55] including a stop at the Soccer Hall of

[26:57] Fame

[26:59] >> was designed to build a bridge to this

[27:01] predominantly Republican part of the

[27:02] state.

[27:05] >> Some spectators were friendly, but

[27:07] others were not.

[27:09] >> Go home.

[27:11] >> I don't think New York needs her. We've

[27:12] survived without her, and we continue

[27:14] to.

[27:14] >> Mrs. Clinton said she will spend the

[27:16] next few months listening to New Yorkers

[27:18] about issues, building up expertise in

[27:20] intimate settings that may deflect

[27:22] charges that she is an opportunistic

[27:25] outsider. Her first attempt at that

[27:27] today had at least the look of intimacy,

[27:29] though cameras from around the world

[27:31] foreshadowed the kind of scrutiny she

[27:33] had better expect. Mrs. Clinton did

[27:36] something on the campaign trail today

[27:37] that is completely new for her. She

[27:39] spoke about her beliefs and her issues

[27:42] and all with hardly a mention of her

[27:45] husband. Dean Reynolds, ABC News, Oni,
