[0:02] Freedom for another hostage after 5
[0:05] years of captivity. A day of joy and
[0:08] pain. The William Kennedy Smith trial
[0:11] begins with a victory for the defense.
[0:13] And a money crunch special report on
[0:16] kickoff weekend for holiday shopping.
[0:19] Was it a boon or a bust?
[0:23] This is the CBS Evening News.

[0:30] Good evening, Dan Rather reporting. The
[0:32] long Middle East hostage case may be
[0:35] down to its final moves. It could be all
[0:37] over in days after a series of deals,
[0:41] including at least one with Iran. The

[1:19] Vizbot, where doctors are worried about
[1:21] his condition. There had been talk of
[1:24] flying him immediately back to the
[1:25] states for treatment. Less than two
[1:28] months ago, Cypio underwent emergency

[1:33] problem. So, I'm happy about that,
[1:35] although I may not have been here this
[1:36] day.
[1:37] >> Two Americans remain prisoners, Alan
[1:39] Stein and Terry Anderson, who has been
[1:42] held nearly 7 years. Their kidnappers
[1:45] say both men may be freed soon.
[1:47] >> They say that the
