[1:50] This is the CBS [music] Evening News

[1:52] with Dan Rather reporting from CBS News

[1:55] headquarters in New York. Good evening.

[1:58] America began paying final respects

[2:00] today to President Ronald Reagan. His

[2:02] coffin closed and covered with an

[2:05] American flag went on public view this

[2:07] afternoon at the Reagan Presidential

[2:09] Library in Semi Valley, California.

[2:11] Mourners are being allowed to file past

[2:13] all through the night and into tomorrow.

[2:16] The president's coffin was taken to the

[2:18] library today by motorcade from a

[2:20] mortuary not far from the Bair home

[2:22] where he died on Saturday. CBS's Jerry

[2:25] Bourne begins our coverage of Ronald

[2:27] Reagan, the death of a president.

[2:31] >> At the Santa Monica funeral home where

[2:33] President Reagan's body lay, people

[2:35] gathered early to pay their respects.

[2:37] >> I think that he was a very great

[2:39] president. He was a charismatic

[2:41] president

[2:42] >> and pay tribute. and he made an

[2:43] impression upon the entire world of the

[2:46] greatness, the joy, and the love that

[2:48] America brings to the world.

[2:51] >> The crowd applauded to honor Nancy

[2:53] Reagan, who's been mourning in private

[2:56] with her daughter Patty Davis, son Ron,

[2:58] and stepson Michael. She joined the

[3:00] procession taking the 40th president on

[3:02] the start of his final journey away from

[3:04] the city where he began as an actor

[3:06] along a freeway that now bears his name

[3:09] on to his hilltop presidential library

[3:12] that will be his final resting place.

[3:18] An honor guard received the casket and

[3:21] inside the library there was a service

[3:23] for family and close friends. We thank

[3:26] you that this world is a better place

[3:29] because he was here.

[3:31] >> And a poignant moment as Mrs. Reagan lay

[3:34] her head on the flag draped coffin with

[3:36] tears in her eyes. Tears shared by many.

[3:39] >> Come down here and say goodbye.

[3:44] Great president.

[3:45] >> The casket will be here for public

[3:46] viewing around the clock today and

[3:48] tomorrow. Among the first to pay their

[3:51] respects, the second actor turned

[3:53] California Governor Arnold

[3:54] Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria

[3:56] Shrivever. Mr. Reagan had been out of

[3:58] public view for nearly a decade because

[4:00] of his illness. No one got to say

[4:02] goodbye to him then. His former speech

[4:04] writer, Kim Kajjigian, says now they

[4:07] can.

[4:07] >> I didn't have a sense of finality until

[4:09] today when they brought the casket here.

[4:12] >> The reaction of many.

[4:13] >> My husband passed away about uh 7 months

[4:16] ago, and I'm here for him.

[4:19] as well as for me.

[4:20] >> On Wednesday, the body will be flown to

[4:22] Washington where it will lie in state in

[4:24] the Capitol Rotunda. Following Friday

[4:26] morning's funeral service at the

[4:28] National Cathedral, Mr. Reagan will make

[4:30] his final trip home to California and a

[4:33] private sunset burial service here at

[4:35] the Reagan Library.

[4:37] And so, America's official period of

[4:40] morning begins. 5 days of tribute and

[4:42] farewell before Mr. Reagan returns home

[4:45] to the West. the vast open spaces that

[4:47] inspired him to believe anything is

[4:50] possible. Dan

[4:52] >> Jerry Bowen reporting live from Semi

[4:54] Valley, California. President George W.

[4:56] Bush will deliver the eulogy for

[4:58] President Reagan at the first state

[4:59] funeral in Washington in more than 30

[5:02] years since President Lyndon Johnson's

[5:04] in 1973. CBS's Jim Stewart reports

[5:07] planning for the services started long

[5:09] ago.

[5:12] He loved a good script and Ronald Reagan

[5:14] with his wife Nancy began writing plans

[5:16] for his own last act just after being

[5:19] inaugurated in 1981. They even picked

[5:22] out the music to be played at the

[5:24] National Cathedral this Friday where

[5:26] heads of state will gather for an

[5:27] invitationonly farewell. It begins

[5:30] Wednesday when an Air Force One 747 will

[5:33] bring Reagan to the nation's capital.

[5:35] His hearse will stop near the Washington

[5:37] Monument and there the remains will be

[5:39] shifted to a quesan for the long ride up

[5:41] Constitution Avenue to Capitol Hill. In

[5:44] the same strict order as past

[5:46] presidential funerals, including Lynden

[5:48] Johnson's 31 years ago, Reagan's Cortez

[5:51] will include a military honor guard,

[5:53] honorary Paulbears, the queson,

[5:55] presidential colors, and the traditional

[5:57] riderless horse. Mr. Reagan will lie in

[6:00] state all Thursday in the same capital

[6:02] rotunda where he was sworn in for a

[6:04] second time. The public may visit, but

[6:07] security will be extraordinary.

[6:09] Anti-aircraft batteries will guard the

[6:11] skies over Washington while government

[6:13] sharpshooters will watch from rooftops.

[6:16] On Friday, the city will shut down

[6:17] entirely to say goodbye. 3,000 invitees

[6:20] will fill the National Cathedral for

[6:22] televised services. The Reagan's head

[6:24] scripted that the Reverend Billy Graham

[6:26] would play a role only now he is too

[6:28] ill. Former Senator John Danforth will

[6:30] preside over a crowd expected to include

[6:33] all four former living presidents as

[6:35] well as Reagan favorites Margaret

[6:37] Thatcher, who videotaped a eulogy as her

[6:39] own health failed, and old foe turned

[6:41] friend Mikuel Gorbachoff. As the end

[6:44] grew near, the army began working with

[6:46] representatives of the Reagan family to

[6:47] iron out details of the funeral, which

[6:50] are now spelled out in a 138 page book.

[6:53] Mrs. Reagan is said to have approved

[6:55] every page. Jim Stewart, CBS News,

[6:58] Washington.

[6:59] >> CBS News will bring you live coverage of

[7:02] the farewell to President Reagan

[7:03] throughout the week. On Wednesday, the

[7:05] president's coffin will be flown from

[7:07] California to Washington, where it will

[7:09] be taken by procession to the Capitol

[7:11] for public viewing. On Friday, CBS will

[7:14] bring you the service for President

[7:15] Reagan at the National Cathedral.

[7:18] President Bush and Democratic challenger

[7:20] John Kerry are focusing on the Reagan

[7:22] legacy in their presidential campaigns

[7:24] now. And CBS's chief White House

[7:26] correspondent John Roberts reports the

[7:28] president is just back from D-Day

[7:30] ceremonies in Europe, ready to open the

[7:33] G8 summit with world leaders at Seal and

[7:36] Georgia.

[7:38] As he arrived in Georgia to play host to

[7:40] the world, President Bush was eager to

[7:42] convert the long shadow of Reagan's

[7:44] death into a new dawn for a struggling

[7:46] campaign.

[7:47] >> Ronald Reagan never sought to be

[7:48] popular. What Ronald Reagan sought to be

[7:51] was right. And uh I've recently heard

[7:53] the president say that, you know, he he

[7:55] isn't interested in in popularity. What

[7:57] he's interested in is trying to do what

[8:00] is right.

[8:00] >> With Democrat John Kerry off the

[8:02] political stage out of respect,

[8:04] President Bush is aiming to connect this

[8:06] week with Reagan's legacy of modern

[8:08] conservatism, cutting taxes, and

[8:09] national strength. But Republicans

[8:12] warned the White House must be careful

[8:13] in equating policies like Reagan's

[8:15] crusade against the evil empire.

[8:17] >> Mr. Gorbachoff

[8:19] teared down this wall

[8:22] >> with Mr. Bush's campaign against the

[8:24] evildoers in Iraq.

[8:26] >> An obvious ploy of attempting to use the

[8:28] pre President Reagan's name of

[8:30] positioning as kind of justification for

[8:32] an action I think would have the

[8:34] potential for a lot of people to resent

[8:36] that.

[8:36] >> Behind the scenes, both parties are

[8:38] trying to exploit Reagan's death.

[8:40] Democrats sniped at President Bush in

[8:42] press releases, pointing out Reagan

[8:44] helped change the world without

[8:45] alienating it, was willing to compromise

[8:47] with Congress, and never demonized his

[8:49] political opponents. Republicans

[8:51] countered by quietly distributing old

[8:53] statements from Kerry critical of

[8:54] Reagan's policies.

[8:56] >> While Mr. Bush could benefit from

[8:58] comparisons to Reagan, he invites

[9:00] contrasts as well. Iraq is not the

[9:03] Soviet Union. Reagan was the great

[9:05] communicator. Even Republicans complain

[9:07] President Bush has failed to

[9:09] communicate. And with a wild card like

[9:11] Iraq in the deck, the positive glow from

[9:13] Reagan's record could be extinguished in

[9:15] a moment.

[9:17] Republicans say that both John Kerry and

[9:19] President Bush face challenges this

[9:21] week. John Kerry will be ignored among

[9:24] an issue an ocean rather of tributes to

[9:27] re Ronald Reagan's conservatism.

[9:29] President Bush meanwhile this week

[9:31] everything he does will be measured

[9:33] against the sheer magnetism of Reagan's

[9:35] character. Dan John

[9:42] today. It has now been 1,000 days since

[9:45] September 11th, 2001, and the attacks

[9:47] that thrust America into a war on

[9:49] terror. For US troops, that war began in

[9:52] Afghanistan, where casualties are still

[9:55] mounting. One US soldier was killed

[9:57] today and two were wounded when a bomb

[9:59] exploded near their vehicle in southern

[10:01] Afghanistan. A similar roadside bomb hit

[10:04] a US Army convoy in Iraq today, also

[10:07] killing one US soldier and wounding two

[10:09] there. But CBS's Kimry Doer reports

[10:12] Iraqi leaders did claim some progress

[10:14] today toward trying to ease the

[10:16] violence.

[10:18] >> Iraq's new government has reached a deal

[10:20] to diffuse one of the country's ticking

[10:22] time bombs. Nine armed political

[10:25] militias have agreed to disarm and

[10:27] disband in return for rewards like

[10:30] retirement pensions and training for the

[10:32] new Iraqi army or if they choose civil

[10:35] service. If they decide otherwise,

[10:38] there's a price.

[10:42] Those that have chosen violence and

[10:44] lawlessness over transition and

[10:45] reintegration will be dealt with

[10:47] harshly. The new Iraqi government has

[10:50] accomplished in days what the Americans

[10:52] failed to pull off in months. It shows

[10:54] the cabinet is wasting no time with its

[10:57] political honeymoon period. But the deal

[11:00] does not include the ragtag bans of

[11:02] armed Shiite and Sunni extremists now

[11:04] the greatest threat to the coalition and

[11:07] Iraqi security. Followers of radical

[11:10] shik Motana al-Sader continue to battle

[11:12] coalition forces in Baghdad and southern

[11:15] Iraq. The so-called Mahi army is

[11:18] supposedly honoring a ceasefire in Kufa

[11:20] and Naja, but an explosion at one of its

[11:22] mosques showed the fighters were

[11:24] stashing weapons for further conflict.

[11:27] Iraqi officials say most of the

[11:28] guerillas are young, unemployed men or

[11:31] former army officers with nothing else

[11:33] to do but fight. So, the new

[11:35] administration wants to create new

[11:37] options for them, just like it did for

[11:39] the militia men.

[11:41] The new government here sees this as a

[11:43] major step in the race to improve Iraqi

[11:46] daily life before more frustrated

[11:48] citizens turn into militants. Iraqi

[11:50] leaders believe the Americans took too

[11:52] long, a mistake they don't want to make.

[11:55] Kimberly Doer, CBS News, Baghdad.

[11:58] >> With nearly 160,000 soldiers and Marines

[12:01] now in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US

[12:03] military confirmed today it wants to cut

[12:06] its forces in South Korea by about 1/3.

[12:09] That would free up 12,500 troops for war

[12:12] duty. Many will head to Iraq this

[12:15] summer. Coming up next on the CBS

[12:17] Evening News, he battled Alzheimer's for

[12:20] 10 years. President Reagan's struggle

[12:23] and Nancy Reagan's fight for a cure is

[12:26] tonight's inside story. And then later,

[12:28] the Reagan state funeral will be the

[12:30] first in Washington in three decades.

[12:33] We'll give you a look at how this

[12:34] grandest and most solemn of our national

[12:36] rituals came to be.

[12:39] But first,

[12:42] [music]

[12:43] CBS News honors fallen heroes. Lawrence

[12:47] Rookie always loved [music] the

[12:48] military. As a kid, he'd take over his

[12:51] sister's dollhouse and fill it with G.I.

[12:53] Joe's. His family says Rookie was proud

[12:56] to be serving his country. At home, he

[12:59] worked nights to be with his kids during

[13:02] the day. He loved talking about

[13:04] 2-year-old Nicholas [music] and looked

[13:06] forward to the day they could go hiking,

[13:08] father and son.

[13:13] >> Financial services.

[13:16] >> We're looking on three points.

[13:17] >> Production loan.

[13:18] >> And she stepped out publicly to support

[13:20] stem cell research.

[13:21] >> I'm determined to do what I can to save

[13:23] other families from this pain.

[13:26] >> Her position was applauded by stem cell

[13:28] researchers. We need living brain cells

[13:30] to be able to test the new drugs. Stem

[13:32] cell research opens up a whole new

[13:35] possibility for getting at the cause of

[13:37] Alzheimer's.

[13:38] >> In other areas of research, there are

[13:40] hopes to target the abnormal brain

[13:42] protein seen in Alzheimer's patients

[13:44] called an amaloid.

[13:46] >> We might find a medication or an immune

[13:49] system breakthrough like a vaccine that

[13:51] would actually try to attack that

[13:54] amaloid and make it go away. Until then,

[13:57] many believe Nancy Reagan will not

[13:58] abandon her new role.

[14:00] >> She lost her husband to a disease that

[14:02] she feels strongly there's hope for,

[14:05] >> and I I think she um will continue to be

[14:09] involved

[14:10] >> until that hope is replaced by a cure.

[14:13] >> Sandra Hughes, CBS News, Los Angeles.

[14:16] >> Financial markets in this country will

[14:18] be closed on Friday, a national day of

[14:20] mourning for President Reagan. On Wall

[14:22] Street today, stocks closed sharply

[14:24] higher on new hopes that oil prices may

[14:26] have peaked. Gasoline prices are already

[14:28] down a bit. The Dow posted a tripledigit

[14:30] gain. Straight ahead now on the CBS

[14:32] Evening News, President Reagan and the

[14:35] Missiles for Iran deal. Is or is not

[14:38] America still paying a price for what's

[14:40] called the Iran Contra debacle. Our

[14:43] special series, The Legacy, is next.

[14:50] >> [music]

[14:57] >> If a lazy moment turns into the right

[15:00] moment, will you be ready? Get to know

[15:03] Sealis, the first tablet for erectile

[15:05] dysfunction that gives you up to 36

[15:07] [music] hours to choose the moment

[15:09] that's right for you and your partner.

[15:11] Seialis goes to work fast and can work

[15:13] [music] for up to 36 hours. Seialis is

[15:16] not for everyone. If you take nitrates

[15:18] for chins could cause a sudden unsafe

[15:28] lasting longer than 4 hours, though

[15:30] rare, require immediate medical help.

[15:32] Discuss your health status with your

[15:34] doctor to ensure seialis is right for

[15:36] you and you [music] are healthy enough

[15:37] for sexual activity. Ask your doctor if

[15:40] a free sample of prescription seialis is

[15:42] right [music] for you. 36-hour seialis.

[15:45] When the moment is right, will you be

[15:48] ready?

[15:49] >> I've discovered [music] Pamperin All Day

[15:51] >> to relieve my headaches, backachches,

[15:53] and cramps.

[15:53] >> Clinically proven that nothing relieves

[15:55] cramps longer than Pamperin All Day.

[15:57] >> Up [music] to 12 hours relief from one

[15:59] caplet.

[16:46] with no blackout dates. [music]

[16:47] >> What's in your wallet?

[16:48] >> Don't ask.

[16:51] >> Once upon a time, there was a bear named

[16:53] Fred whose best friend got sick and had

[16:56] to go to the hospital. Fred worried

[16:58] about his best friend. But soon he saw

[17:01] that this hospital, the Holtz Children's

[17:03] Hospital at MJ Jackson, had many kind

[17:05] [music] doctors and many kind nurses.

[17:08] They worked as a team to make Fred's

[17:10] best friend feel better. And that made

[17:12] Fred feel better, too. Hol Children's

[17:15] Hospital at University of Miami Jackson.

[17:17] We love happy endings.

[17:21] With Friday designated a national day of

[17:23] morning for President Reagan, all

[17:25] non-essential federal workers are

[17:27] getting the day off. Post offices will

[17:29] be closed Friday and there will be no

[17:31] regular mail delivery. In addition,

[17:33] Congress is curtailing its schedule this

[17:35] week with no votes planned except on

[17:37] resolutions honoring the late president.

[17:40] Ronald Reagan was and is one of the most

[17:42] popular presidents in US history and

[17:45] with good reason. He accomplished a lot.

[17:47] That does not mean his record is without

[17:49] questions. and in fact blemishes.

[17:52] Tonight, CBS's Bill Plant, who covered

[17:54] the Reagan White House, begins a

[17:56] week-long series assessing the Reagan

[17:58] legacy.

[18:01] >> The most serious crisis of Ronald

[18:03] Reagan's two terms and the lowest point

[18:05] in his popularity came after the

[18:07] revelation that his administration had

[18:09] secretly sold arms to Iran and turned

[18:12] over the profits to rebels fighting the

[18:14] Marxist government of Nicaragua.

[18:16] >> Did you make a mistake in sending arms

[18:17] to Tyrron, sir?

[18:19] >> No. And I'm not taking any more

[18:21] questions.

[18:22] >> Reagan's national security staff

[18:23] approached Iran in an effort to free

[18:25] American hostages being held in Lebanon

[18:28] despite a vow that the administration

[18:30] would never negotiate with terrorists.

[18:33] At first, President Reagan denied that

[18:35] it had happened.

[18:36] >> We did not repeat did not trade weapons

[18:39] or anything else for hostages.

[18:42] >> But two investigations showed that Mr.

[18:44] Reagan had in fact signed off on the

[18:46] weapons shipments. And in early 1987, he

[18:49] reversed his denial. It

[18:50] >> was without question a crisis brought on

[18:52] through his own fault. And the public

[18:54] perceived him, therefore, as somebody

[18:56] who couldn't see his own actions in a

[18:59] negative light.

[19:00] >> The fallout was severe, softened only by

[19:02] the president's willingness to accept

[19:04] personal responsibility.

[19:06] >> President Reagan understood that this

[19:08] had happened in his in his

[19:09] administration. He was straightforward

[19:11] in having it investigated by the the

[19:13] Tower Commission. They made changes and

[19:15] that's the way that we have to deal with

[19:17] any difficulties.

[19:18] >> The president's full disclosure at home,

[19:20] however, didn't salvage US policy in the

[19:22] Middle East. Relations with Iran

[19:24] deteriorated further. Iraq, which the

[19:26] Reagan administration had backed in its

[19:28] war against Iran, went on to use

[19:30] chemical weapons in 1988 with little

[19:32] protest from the US.

[19:34] >> When it came time to really having

[19:36] partnerships and policies that move

[19:38] forward in the Middle East, there wasn't

[19:40] a lot positive happening on the ground.

[19:42] An arms control agreement with the

[19:43] Soviet Union refurbished President

[19:45] Reagan's image, but US efforts to deal

[19:47] with the tough issues in the Middle East

[19:49] went on hold, helping to set the stage

[19:51] for the first Iraq war and the rise of

[19:53] Islamic fundamentalism. Bill Plant, CBS

[19:56] News.

[19:58] >> Still to come on the CBS Evening News, a

[20:00] state funeral. The elaborate ceremony

[20:03] will be new to a generation of

[20:05] Americans. We'll give you a close-up

[20:06] look at this rarelyseen ritual next.

[20:16] >> [music]

[20:19] >> There's something great going around.

[20:21] [music] Something so delicious people

[20:23] can't get enough of it. It's these

[20:25] reclosable bottles of Insure. [music]

[20:27] They're great tasting and go anywhere to

[20:30] help you stay healthy. Enjoy Insure as a

[20:32] snack or occasional meal in [music] five

[20:34] creamy, rich flavors.

[20:37] Insure in reclosable [music] bottles.

[20:41] Drink to your health wherever you go.

[20:45] >> Imagine combining the stain [music]

[20:46] fighting power of effort and freshening

[20:48] power of Listerine. You'd get effort

[20:51] plus. It's extra fresh and nothing gets

[20:54] your dentures cleaner. Effort and clean.

[20:56] Listerine fresh.

[20:58] >> That's effort plus.

[21:00] >> My guys go all day long.

[21:03] >> So their cuts get [music] protection

[21:04] that keeps on working. Neosporin is

[21:07] eight times more effective than even the

[21:09] leading prescription at keeping skin

[21:10] bacteria free. That's [music] Neosporin.

[21:13] Every cut, every time.

[21:14] >> One day on vacation, Brian just said,

[21:16] "This is where we belong." We opened the

[21:18] Sandbar 3 months later. After Brian

[21:21] died, I thought about moving back, but

[21:24] this is our place.

[21:26] >> Insurance from Mutual of Omaha. Begin

[21:28] today.

[21:30] >> The Brawn Synchro cuts more efficiently

[21:32] because it's the first shaver with a

[21:33] four-way moving head. And its automatic

[21:36] self-cleaning system leaves your shaver

[21:38] so clean it [music] feels like new

[21:40] everyday. Brawn Synchro. We challenge

[21:43] you to find a better dry shaver. I don't

[21:45] want to live the life of a best-selling

[21:47] romance [music] novel. I just want to

[21:49] spend time with the one I love for

[21:51] people living with moderate to severe

[21:52] rheumatoid arthritis. Humumera [music]

[21:54] is the latest treatment. I don't want to

[21:56] be a famous artist. I just want to lift

[21:58] a paintbrush with less pain. Humumera

[22:01] relieves the pain and [music] fatigue of

[22:03] rheumatoid arthritis in the majority of

[22:04] people while keeping it from getting

[22:06] worse.

[22:07] >> I don't want to win a prize for

[22:08] literature. I just [music] want to teach

[22:11] my third graders how to read. Humra can

[22:13] lower your ability to fight infections.

[22:15] So tell your doctor right away if you

[22:17] get an infection, are [music] prone to

[22:18] infections, or have ever had

[22:19] tuberculosis. Do not start hum if you

[22:22] have an infection such as an open sore

[22:24] or the flu. [music]

[22:25] Other serious and sometimes fatal

[22:27] infections and tuberculosis have been

[22:28] reported in clinical trials. [music]

[22:30] Rare cases of nervous system disorders

[22:32] and lymphoma have been reported. Common

[22:34] side effects [music] are injection sight

[22:36] pain and reactions, headache, and rash.

[22:39] Enjoy more normal living. Talk with

[22:41] [music] your rheatologist about Humera.

[22:44] All this week, be a soap star, standup

[22:46] comedian, a cop, or the voice on a

[22:48] cartoon. [music] That's just a few

[22:49] things our anchors always wanted to do.

[22:51] And see what happens when they do it on

[22:53] the Early Show.

[22:56] A lot of young Americans are about to

[22:58] see something they've never seen before,

[23:00] a state funeral. It is that rare in this

[23:03] country, and there's a lot of history

[23:05] and tradition behind it. As CBS News

[23:07] correspondent Wyatt Andrews reports,

[23:11] it's the most formal and most emotional

[23:13] of American pageantss, and it hasn't

[23:16] been staged in Washington for 31 years.

[23:19] [music]

[23:21] During the last presidential state

[23:23] funeral here, when the body of President

[23:25] Lyndon Johnson ascended [music] the

[23:27] Capitol steps, onethird of the current

[23:30] American population wasn't born.

[23:32] >> This is something important for a nation

[23:34] to have a moment in which they

[23:35] commemorate a great leader. And

[23:38] >> Donald Richie, a Senate historian, calls

[23:40] the state funeral one thing Democratic

[23:42] America borrowed from European royalty.

[23:45] The horsedrawn carriage down

[23:47] Constitution Avenue, the rituals beside

[23:49] the body, all of it, the choreography of

[23:52] kings and queens.

[23:53] >> All these maneuver is taking place

[23:55] without any word of command that can be

[23:57] heard.

[23:58] >> We've said farewell like this to nine

[24:00] presidents back to Abraham Lincoln. But

[24:02] in terms of national grief, historians

[24:04] believe nothing compares to the funeral

[24:07] of John Kennedy.

[24:08] >> People who stood in line overnight uh to

[24:11] wait for just a few moments to walk by

[24:13] the coffin. I think it's the emotion

[24:15] that you remember the most.

[24:16] >> By law and by custom, the American

[24:19] public might own the state funeral, but

[24:21] the stage management, start to finish,

[24:23] is actually the job of the US Army. And

[24:25] the fine details come from the family.

[24:29] Jackie Kennedy, for example, restored

[24:31] the lost tradition of the riderless

[24:33] horse, boots, and stirrups backward for

[24:35] the commander's final ride. Some

[24:37] ceremonies are different, but the impact

[24:39] is the same. One pure moment of national

[24:42] unity. When people die from politics,

[24:46] they become statesmen. And when they're

[24:48] statesmen, uh, the nation comes together

[24:50] behind them.

[24:52] >> In life, Ronald Reagan had a gift for

[24:55] staging pageantss. Come Friday, he'll

[24:57] stage a big one last time. Wyatt

[25:00] Andrews, CBS News, Washington.

[25:04] >> And that's part of our world. We invite

[25:06] you to stay with CBS News throughout the

[25:08] week for coverage of the farewell to

[25:51] >> Is DNA really evidence?

[25:54] >> For Jen, truth was relative. Then she

[25:58] got Washington Mutual free checking. She

[26:00] likes the no hidden fees and they

[26:02] inspire Jen to be more truthful.

[26:04] >> Your honor, my client pleads guilty.

[26:05] >> I what?

[26:06] >> Well, you are.

[26:09] Hi, I just changed lanes without

[26:11] signaling. Oh, and my plates are

[26:12] expired.

[26:13] >> Nice deck. Not really. We built it

[26:15] ourselves.

[26:20] honesty.
