[0:01] Blame and default. The showdown between
[0:04] President Clinton and the Republican
[0:06] Congress over the budget heads for an
[0:08] imminent shutdown of the US government
[0:11] for lack of funds. Yet again, sexual
[0:14] harassment in the military. This time, a
[0:16] Navy woman allegedly assaulted by her
[0:18] superior on a jetliner while other
[0:21] sailors did nothing to stop it. And
[0:23] those TV talk shows under attack this

[0:41] tonight to the still escalating US
[0:43] budget showdown. The US government may

[1:08] showdown. Bob.
[1:10] >> Dan, this is one of the nastiest and
[1:12] most complicated fights ever. What the
[1:14] Republicans are trying to do is get the
[1:16] president to accept spending cuts and
[1:18] some of their pet projects like shutting
[1:20] down the commerce department before they
[1:22] will agree to let the government borrow
[1:24] the money it needs to keep operating.
[1:26] It's become a real game of chicken.
[1:28] >> And the administration is not backing
[1:31] down, claiming that the president won't
[1:32] be blackmailed, that he'll issue vetos
[1:35] that will shut a l
