[0:02] Millions of the faithful gather in Asia
[0:04] for Pope John Paul's largest mass ever.
[0:08] Prosecutors will seek the death penalty
[0:09] for a mother accused of killing her
[0:11] sons. And the People versus OJ Simpson,
[0:15] a case about science and sociology.
[0:18] >> From NBC News, this is NBC Nightly News
[0:22] reported by Elizabeth Vargas.
[0:25] >> Good evening. In the Philippines today,
[0:27] millions of people walked for miles to

[1:11] the excitement. While security forces
[1:14] search for Muslim extremists suspected
[1:16] of plotting to kill the Pope, most
[1:18] people here are simply searching for
[1:20] space to catch a glance of the man some

[1:25] anymore.
[1:26] >> Most could only see him with binoculars.
[1:28] Those who got close will remember.
[1:31] >> It's a wonderful experience.
[1:33] >> Looks like an angel.
[1:35] >> He looked very holy.
