[0:04] >> This is NBC Nightly News with John
[0:07] Chancellor and David Brinkley. Tonight,
[0:10] Friday, June 3rd, reported from the NBC
[0:13] News Center in New York. Good evening.
[0:16] John Chancellor is in London and we'll
[0:18] hear from him next week. Some moderately
[0:21] pleasing economic news today.
[0:23] Unemployment is down. Not much, but down
[0:26] below 7% for the first time since 1974.
[0:31] It now stands at 6.9% and has been
[0:34] falling slowly since last fall. In May,
[0:37] the number of people working rose by
[0:40] 400,000.
[0:42] Wholesale prices rose 4/10en of 1%, the
[0:45] smallest increase since last summer. A
[0:48] big coffee roaster cut the price by 20
[0:51] cents a pound. Further details from
[0:53] Irving Ar Lavine in Washington.
[0:58] >> The biggest increase in wholesale prices
[1:01] was in processed foods. Processing
[1:04] plants such as this meat packing plant
[1:06] in California were passing on higher
[1:09] costs for labor and for the materials
[1:11] they use. But overall, the wholesale
[1:14] price index, after going up more than 1%
[1:17] in each of the last two months, climbed
[1:19] only 4/10en of 1% in May. It was the
[1:23] smallest increase in 8 months. An
[1:26] unexpected drop in prices for
[1:28] unprocessed foods from the nation's
[1:30] farms was mainly responsible for the
[1:33] better wholesale figures. The
[1:36] improvement in the unemployment figures
[1:38] resulted from 400,000 unemployed
[1:41] Americans finding jobs last month. Since
[1:44] early in the year, when it reached a
[1:46] high of 7.5%,
[1:48] the unemployment rate has been slowly
[1:51] declining as a result of the economic
[1:53] recovery. Today's 6.9% rate was the
[1:57] lowest in 2 and 1/2 years.
[2:00] After a congressional hearing today on
[2:02] the latest figures, the commissioner of
[2:04] labor statistics predicted that the
[2:07] downward trend in unemployment will
[2:09] continue.
[2:10] >> I think the unemployment rate has been
[2:12] declining and uh it started to decline
[2:16] about uh two years ago and we've had a
[2:19] decline of about two points perhaps a
[2:21] little more. Uh the fact that there
[2:23] wasn't much movement this month isn't
[2:24] significant. I think that it has been
[2:26] declining and it will continue to
[2:27] decline. At the White House, President
[2:30] Carter's press secretary, Jodie Powell,
[2:33] said that the unemployment and wholesale
[2:35] price figures are encouraging, but he
[2:38] cautioned that recent steel price
[2:40] increases were not included in today's
[2:43] figures. So, future months could produce
[2:47] some unpleasant surprises.
[2:50] Irving R. Leavine, NBC News, at the
[2:52] White House. The Labor Department says
[2:55] it'll put out another $20 million to
[2:57] create summer jobs for 33,000 young
[3:00] people, mostly in the inner cities where
[3:03] unemployment is extremely high. Other
[3:06] news coming up, more remains of those
[3:08] missing in action in Vietnam. The
[3:11] women's movement is out to get a judge
[3:13] in Wisconsin. Partway toward diplomatic
[3:16] relations with Cuba. And in London, a
[3:19] new ambassador and ancient pageantry.
[3:26] Introducing the new Remington XLR, the
[3:30] electric shaver that shaved as close as
[3:32] a blade. And to prove it, we're doing
[3:35] something spectacular.
[3:37] We're giving away a blade to compare it
[3:39] with. We guarantee the Remington XLR
[3:42] will shave you as close as a blade or
[3:44] your money back. Now that's really
[3:47] spectacular. The Remington XLR shaves as
[3:51] close as a blade for your money back.
[3:57] >> When Bill and I were dating, he used to
[3:59] be so romantic.
[4:02] You know, he hasn't changed a bit.
[4:05] >> It shouldn't matter that you wear
[4:06] dentures. Today, you have the best
[4:08] cleaning politan ever. We've added more
[4:11] cleansers, more whitener, and a unique
[4:13] penetrating ingredient that helps lift
[4:15] away odor-causing film to leave dentures
[4:18] clean and up close fresh.
[4:21] We want you to stay close.
[4:26] This morning, President Carter gave the
[4:28] leaders of Congress a little coffee and
[4:29] sweet pastries and along with them a
[4:32] message. The message was that his energy
[4:34] program is the most important piece of
[4:36] legislation he will ever send to
[4:38] Congress. Ever. He said they listened
[4:41] and there was some action on this in
[4:43] Congress later in the day. John Cochran
[4:46] in Washington.
[4:47] >> These were the last of 90 congressmen
[4:49] the president has talked to in the past
[4:51] two days seeking support for his energy
[4:53] program. A program which he said may be
[4:56] the most important he will ever ask for.
[4:59] >> It's a matter of great concern to me
[5:01] that we act as partners.
[5:03] >> But the partnership is off to a rocky
[5:06] start. Hours after this meeting, the
[5:08] House voted to give the president the
[5:09] new Department of Energy he wants, but
[5:11] only as a five-year experiment. James
[5:14] Schlesinger will head that department,
[5:16] but he will not have all the power
[5:18] President Carter wants for him. The
[5:20] House refused to give Schlesinger
[5:22] authority to set prices for natural gas.
[5:25] Later, Schlesinger admitted to the
[5:27] League of Women Voters that the
[5:28] president's energy package is not
[5:30] perfect. He said it was put together in
[5:31] a hurry and is not a finished product.
[5:34] But despite his consiliatory tone,
[5:36] Schlesinger hopes to win back some of
[5:37] the power today's House vote would take
[5:39] away. Both the House and the Senate have
[5:42] voted to give pricing powers over
[5:43] natural gas to an independent
[5:45] commission. But the Senate, unlike the
[5:48] House, would let Schlesinger suggest
[5:50] price changes and would give the
[5:52] president veto power. Schlesinger
[5:54] indicated to NBC News that he will work
[5:56] to defeat the House version of the bill.
[5:59] That is a very significant matter and we
[6:01] shall make our views known
[6:03] >> and you will fight it.
[6:04] >> We will make our views known strongly.
[6:08] >> But Schlesinger admits he does not know
[6:10] whether Congress will give him and the
[6:12] president any control over fuel prices.
[6:14] John Cochran, NBC News, Washington.
[6:18] President Carter said that this fall he
[6:20] will throw a switch and turn on a
[6:22] nuclear breeder reactor. He said it had
[6:25] been designed by Admiral Hyman Rickover,
[6:27] his old boss in the Navy. Well, nobody
[6:30] expected this. Mr. Carter has opposed
[6:32] nuclear fastreeder reactors because
[6:35] their residue can be used to make
[6:37] nuclear bombs. But the White House
[6:39] thinks the Rickover reactor may be safer
[6:42] than the Fastreeder reactor.
[6:46] American and Vietnamese negotiators met
[6:48] again in Paris today and discussed two
[6:50] questions. more information about
[6:52] missing Americans still unaccounted for
[6:55] from the war and the Vietnamese belief
[6:58] the US should help pay for the damage in
[7:00] their country. They did agree to return
[7:02] to the US the remains of 20 20 more
[7:06] Americans killed in action. The
[7:08] Americans did not agree to pay for any
[7:10] damages and there is some doubt they
[7:11] will. Here's Fred Briggs in Paris.
[7:16] To some degree it was a rerun of the
[7:18] first negotiations a month ago.
[7:20] Vietnamese exiles demonstrating against
[7:22] Han oil, representatives of MIA groups,
[7:25] and the same principal negotiators,
[7:27] Deputy Foreign Minister Fon Hen for the
[7:29] Vietnamese, and Assistant Secretary of
[7:32] State Richard Hullbrook for the US. What
[7:35] was different was the fact that this
[7:36] session took place at the US embassy,
[7:38] the first time a delegation from Hanoi
[7:40] has ever set foot in any American
[7:42] embassy anywhere. The Vietnamese still
[7:45] want financial aid, although they no
[7:47] longer use the word reparations, and the
[7:50] US still wants further word about its
[7:52] MIAs.
[7:54] When this session ended, there was some
[7:56] word.
[7:57] >> The Vietnamese side
[8:00] offered us information concerning an
[8:03] additional 20 American servicemen who
[8:06] were lost in action in Vietnam.
[8:11] There will be no public announcement of
[8:13] the names until the identifications have
[8:16] been confirmed by the United States
[8:19] Central Identification Laboratory in
[8:21] Hawaii after the return of the remains.
[8:24] >> The 20 names furnished today bring the
[8:26] total to 22 MIA identified by the
[8:29] Vietnamese since these talks began.
[8:32] There will be further negotiations,
[8:33] although as yet no date has been set.
[8:35] Fred Briggs, NBC News, Paris.
[8:39] Several thousand spectators were at the
[8:41] Paris Air Show today, an annual event
[8:44] for 32 years. New airplanes are
[8:46] displayed. And over the years, there
[8:48] have been several crashes. This time
[8:51] today, there was another one. An
[8:53] American plane, the new A10, designed to
[8:56] attack armored targets on land. As the
[8:59] pilot came out of a loop and came into
[9:01] land, the tail broke off, it burst into
[9:04] flame and the pilot was killed. No
[9:07] spectators were hurt. The Air Force
[9:09] about to begin using the plane will
[9:12] investigate.
[9:17] Roberto Roselini produced some great
[9:19] movies and some great scandals. Often he
[9:22] was praised for one while being attacked
[9:24] for the other. After World War II, he
[9:27] turned movie making in a new direction
[9:29] away from glossy fantasy and toward
[9:32] gritty realism. It was his love affair
[9:35] with Ingred Bergman on the volcanic
[9:37] island of Stromboly that antagonized the
[9:40] Vatican, brought an attack from the US
[9:42] Senate, and hurt his career. But women
[9:45] were often heard to say they would die
[9:47] for him. Roselini died today of a heart
[9:51] attack at 71.
[9:57] >> It doesn't cramp my style.
[9:59] >> It doesn't cramp my style.
[10:01] >> What doesn't cramp my style? Philips
[10:03] Milk of Magnesia. When I have
[10:05] constipation, I rely on Phillips. It
[10:08] really works and it doesn't interfere
[10:10] with my day.
[10:10] >> Unlike most laxatives, Philips formula
[10:13] puts your natural body water to work,
[10:14] drawing it to where it's needed to
[10:16] soften and lubricate. Relieves
[10:17] constipation in hours, usually without
[10:20] cramps. Phillips regular chocolate or
[10:22] mint.
[10:22] >> It really works. And it doesn't cramp
[10:24] your style.
[10:28] >> It can torment anyone. Painful itching.
[10:31] Honey, stop scratching. It'll get
[10:33] infected.
[10:34] >> Insect bites, ricees. Don't suffer. Get
[10:36] Locaine.
[10:37] >> This dry skin, the itching.
[10:39] >> Dry skin itching. Don't suffer. Get
[10:41] Locaine.
[10:41] >> This itching is driving me crazy.
[10:44] >> Burning itching? Don't suffer.
[10:45] Lanicane's medically tested ingredient
[10:47] helps stop itching fast. And its
[10:49] antibacterial action permits natural
[10:51] healing. Itching? Don't suffer. Get
[10:53] Lanicane. Also, Lanicane spray.
[10:57] Women's groups in Madison, Wisconsin are
[10:59] trying to force Judge Archie Simson off
[11:02] the bench. They are deeply offended by
[11:04] his remarks in the case of a 15-year-old
[11:07] boy who raped a 16-year-old girl on the
[11:10] high school steps and the judge's
[11:12] refusal to punish him. Here's Al Johnson
[11:15] in Madison.
[11:16] >> Good morning.
[11:17] >> Last week, Judge Archie Simson of
[11:19] Madison, Wisconsin, released to his
[11:21] parents a 15year-old boy who pleaded no
[11:23] contest to a rape charge. And the judge
[11:26] was quoted as saying the boy's reaction
[11:28] was normal in a permissive society where
[11:30] women provoke men by the way they dress.
[11:33] Yesterday the judge was still talking
[11:35] about the controversy.
[11:37] Many persons and groups of persons who
[11:41] were not present at that hearing have
[11:43] seemed fit to analyze and interpret what
[11:47] transpired at that hearing.
[11:51] And what Judge Simson did and said led
[11:53] to demonstrations which have turned into
[11:55] an all-out effort to get him off the
[11:56] bench. The campaign to recall him has
[11:59] the support of the city's two
[12:00] newspapers. The judge was elected in
[12:03] 1972 to a six-year term. Several groups
[12:06] led by the National Organization of
[12:08] Women are circulating recall petitions
[12:11] and a lot of people are signing up.
[12:13] >> Being a woman, I feel I should have the
[12:15] right to dress any way I want. I think
[12:17] his conduct is the statements he made is
[12:19] irresponsible and uh inexcusable.
[12:22] >> Two persons already are campaigning for
[12:25] Judge Simson's job and more are expected
[12:28] to enter the race.
[12:30] >> The first person to challenge the judge
[12:32] was a 33year-old lawyer who is confident
[12:34] the recall effort will succeed. He has
[12:37] disappointed this community and that he
[12:39] has let us down and uh that the kind of
[12:42] statements and remarks emanating not
[12:45] just from a judge but from the bench
[12:46] itself uh bring about cause for great
[12:50] alarm and concern.
[12:52] >> Last night the county board of
[12:54] supervisors voted 34-2 to join the mayor
[12:57] and the city council in an effort to get
[12:59] the judge off the bench. However, Judge
[13:01] Simson says he won't quit. He's hired a
[13:05] lawyer and he's leaving Tao for
[13:07] vacation.
[13:08] >> Al Johnson, NBC News, Madison,
[13:10] Wisconsin.
[13:12] >> There continues to be a sour
[13:14] disagreement about the artificial
[13:16] sweetener, saccharine. Some want it off
[13:18] the shelves tomorrow. Others think once
[13:21] the government has told the public of
[13:22] whatever danger there is, that is
[13:24] enough. And from then on, people can
[13:26] make their own decision, as with
[13:28] cigarettes. Today, Representative Paul
[13:31] Rogers of Florida says consumers are
[13:33] outraged and he wants an 18-month delay
[13:36] in any ban on saccharine. And in the
[13:39] meantime, a continuing dispute about the
[13:41] methods used in testing it on mice.
[13:44] Here's Robert Brazelle at the National
[13:46] Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland.
[13:50] >> When the government announced a ban on
[13:52] saccharine in packaged foods and drinks
[13:54] based on studies with Canadian rats,
[13:57] many thought it was a joke.
[13:59] People were especially confused by the
[14:01] amount of saccharine that the Canadian
[14:03] rats were given before they developed
[14:04] cancer, equivalent to people drinking
[14:07] 800 cans a day of diet soda. But the
[14:11] Canadian scientists were using the
[14:12] standard methods to find out whether a
[14:14] chemical causes cancer in animals. In
[14:18] order to test a chemical such as
[14:19] saccharine and the doses that people
[14:21] usually take, at least 50,000 animals
[14:24] would have to be used. that would cost
[14:26] millions of dollars and would require
[14:28] the services of hundreds of highly
[14:30] trained people. So the scientists take a
[14:33] shortcut. They use fewer animals and
[14:35] they give those animals much more of the
[14:37] chemical in order to more readily induce
[14:40] cancer. Even with small groups of
[14:42] animals, the tests are expensive. Each
[14:45] animal must be given the chemical daily
[14:47] in special containment facilities.
[14:51] When the animals die, their organs are
[14:53] carefully removed and sections are
[14:55] placed onto microscope slides.
[14:58] A pathologist examines each slide,
[15:00] checking to see if the tissue is either
[15:02] normal, such as this section of lung
[15:06] or if it has a tumor.
[15:09] This adds up to more than $1,000 for
[15:12] each animal used in the experiments. So
[15:15] the scientists are forced to limit the
[15:16] experiment to 100 or so animals.
[15:20] Dr. William Lejinsky, who supervises
[15:22] many of the animal tests for the
[15:24] National Cancer Institute, says this
[15:26] method of using few animals in high
[15:28] doses, is valid.
[15:30] >> We say that any compound, any substance
[15:32] that produces cancer in in experimental
[15:34] animals in properly run tests, even at
[15:37] high doses, is a risk. Vinyl chloride
[15:41] and dees were tested at high doses in ex
[15:44] in animals and gave high instances of
[15:48] cancer. They produce a lot of cancer in
[15:50] these animals and they have since been
[15:52] shown to have been responsible for
[15:54] cancer in man.
[15:56] >> But among scientists there are critics
[15:58] of the highdosese testing. Dr. Frederick
[16:00] Coloulston of Albany New York Medical
[16:03] College is one of them.
[16:04] >> Is unrealistic. It tests something that
[16:07] doesn't exist. At these extremely high
[16:10] doses, what is really a maximum
[16:12] tolerated dose, you create a situation
[16:15] where the normal bodily function of the
[16:18] animal is changed.
[16:20] >> Koulston and other critics of highdosese
[16:22] testing argue that before banning
[16:24] saccharine, we should spend the money
[16:25] and test it in thousands of animals
[16:28] since saccharine is the source of a $2
[16:30] billion a year industry.
[16:33] But there are thousands of chemicals
[16:35] suspected of causing cancer. And there
[16:38] just aren't enough animals, trained
[16:40] scientists, or tax dollars to test each
[16:43] one in large groups of animals. So, at
[16:46] least for now, government health
[16:48] officials have decided that highdose
[16:50] testing with small groups of animals
[16:52] must serve as our main indicator of a
[16:54] cancer risk. And that's why tests where
[16:56] rats got the equivalent of 800 cans a
[16:59] day of diet soda led to a ban on
[17:01] saccharine in packaged foods. Robert
[17:04] Bazelle, NBC News, at the National
[17:05] Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland.
[17:09] >> May West May West has just finished
[17:12] another movie playing the role of an
[17:14] actress at the height of her career.
[17:16] Even though she admits to being 86 years
[17:19] old, she makes no concessions to age,
[17:22] she says, and she still plays the same
[17:24] role she has always played herself.
[17:33] Gotcha. You're repainting, huh? Just
[17:35] because the paint I used couldn't take a
[17:37] beating.
[17:39] >> So, I used the wrong paint last time.
[17:40] Why didn't you tell me?
[17:42] >> I'm using
[17:42] >> You're using lucid paint. Even I know
[17:45] lucite covers beautifully. It forms a
[17:47] tough acrylic seal that helps keep dirt
[17:49] from penetrating so walls wash clean
[17:51] easily. You sure want the best.
[17:53] >> That's why I have you, dear.
[17:56] >> Next time, do it right with tough
[17:59] ceiling looseite.
[18:01] >> I teach sailing. Lots of fun, but that
[18:04] wind, sun, and salt spray do bad things
[18:06] to your skin. So after each lesson, I
[18:08] reach for the rose milk. Rosemilk skin
[18:10] care cream. That way I can keep my skin
[18:13] soft and smooth but not greasy. So I
[18:15] don't have to worry that the line will
[18:16] slip through my fingers. I bet you'll
[18:19] love rose milk too.
[18:20] >> This summer put back the softness the
[18:22] sun bakes away. Use rosemill skin care
[18:24] cream regular or new unscented. You can
[18:28] really feel the difference.
[18:32] The malan desperados in Holland cooped
[18:34] up in holding hostages in a train for 11
[18:37] days felt the need for exercise. And so
[18:40] today they got out and joged around the
[18:42] fields outside the train, leaving others
[18:44] inside to hold the guns on the hostages.
[18:47] They did agree to have two mediators go
[18:49] back and forth between them and the
[18:51] Dutch authorities to work out a
[18:53] settlement. John Palmer at the scene.
[18:56] Agreement on the South Malucan mediators
[18:58] came after more than 2 days of
[19:00] negotiating by telephone between the
[19:02] terrorists on the train and government
[19:04] authorities. Now, there is hope the
[19:06] mediators will help bring this tragic
[19:08] episode to a conclusion. At one point
[19:10] today, two of the terrorists, a man and
[19:12] a woman, were seen outside the train.
[19:15] The man waved a large South Mullican
[19:17] flag and then began climbing the engine,
[19:19] attempting to mount the flag on top,
[19:22] but the wind was too strong and he
[19:24] nearly fell off.
[19:31] The flag was finally left on the front
[19:33] of the engine. Another
[19:35] supply of food was sent in. A government
[19:37] spokesman said a dietician is being
[19:39] consulted now in order to provide a more
[19:42] balanced diet for the 55 hostages who
[19:44] are spending their 12th night at the
[19:46] mercy of the terrorists. Fully equipped
[19:48] field hospitals have been set up by the
[19:50] Dutch Red Cross. This one is in a church
[19:53] two blocks from the school where four
[19:55] teachers are being held by another group
[19:57] of terrorists. The one near the train is
[19:59] inside a large barn. Both are supplied
[20:02] with all types of bandages and medicine,
[20:04] including facilities to carry out major
[20:06] surgery.
[20:08] Doctors say it would take less than 3
[20:10] minutes to transport an injured hostage
[20:12] from either location to an operating
[20:14] table.
[20:16] This field hospital and the other one
[20:18] near the train have been set up to
[20:20] handle all of the hostages at one time,
[20:23] but there's great hope here that the
[20:24] negotiations will be successful and that
[20:27] these extensive facilities will not be
[20:29] needed. John Palmer, NBC News, in
[20:32] Northern Holland.
[20:34] >> After 16 years, it is official now the
[20:36] US and Cuba are exchanging diplomats. It
[20:40] is not full diplomatic recognition, but
[20:42] what are called interest sections set up
[20:44] in the old American embassy in Havana
[20:47] and the old Cuban embassy in Washington.
[20:49] Here's Richard Valerani at the State
[20:51] Department.
[20:53] >> The news was already several hours old
[20:55] by the time spokesman John Trer walked
[20:57] into the State Department briefing room.
[20:59] since the Cubans had announced it
[21:00] prematurely in Havana. Trentner
[21:03] explained the rationale behind the
[21:05] agreement.
[21:06] >> This agreement will facilitate
[21:07] communications between the two
[21:09] governments and will provide a greater
[21:11] range of consular services for the
[21:13] citizens of the two countries than are
[21:15] currently available.
[21:17] >> The Cuban embassy in Washington, which
[21:19] was closed in 1961, will now be reopened
[21:22] within 2 or 3 months. Although it will
[21:25] fly the flag of Czechoslovakia for
[21:26] diplomatic reasons. The building will be
[21:29] heavily guarded. The 10 or so Americans
[21:32] who are assigned to Havana will reopen
[21:34] the US embassy there under the flag of
[21:36] Switzerland. Several obstacles remain to
[21:39] be overcome on both sides before the
[21:41] United States and Cuba can resume full
[21:43] diplomatic relations. These include
[21:46] settling claims for almost $2 billion
[21:48] worth of American property confiscated
[21:50] by the Castro government and the lifting
[21:53] of the American trade embargo against
[21:54] Cuba. But the exchange of diplomats
[21:57] means that for the first time in more
[21:59] than 16 years, the two countries will
[22:02] soon begin talking on a continuing basis
[22:04] about how to resolve their differences.

[22:10] Department.
[22:12] >> A small miracle in the North Atlantic. A
[22:14] Canadian ferry boat carrying 128 people
[22:17] hit an iceberg in the cold waters off
[22:20] Labrador in the middle of the night and
[22:22] sank to the bottom. Everyone aboard was
[22:25] rescued and nobody was even hurt. The
[22:28] passengers got off in lifeboats and then
[22:30] stood around on the ice flows until help
[22:32] arrived. Had they got into the water,
[22:35] even with life jackets, they would have
[22:36] frozen to death. Again, no deaths and no
[22:39] injuries. Henry Kissinger will teach
[22:42] diplomacy for at least a year at
[22:44] Georgetown University in Washington. He
[22:47] was offered a job at Columbia University
[22:49] in New York, but there was some student
[22:51] opposition because of his Vietnam
[22:53] policies and he turned it down.
[22:56] Genealogy, tracing ancestors, is now a
[22:59] great national enthusiasm. Today, the
[23:02] Mormon Church, which has a huge library
[23:04] on genealogy, gave President Carter his
[23:08] full family history. He took it and said
[23:10] some of his ancestors were a little
[23:12] embarrassing. a few horse thieves and
[23:14] some who were shot in Saturday night
[23:16] brawls. And he said when he lost his
[23:19] first campaign, he heard from 15
[23:22] relatives. When he won, he heard from
[23:24] 700.
[23:30] >> Have you ever gotten the uh 5:00
[23:33] surprise?
[23:34] >> $100 for a water pump?
[23:37] >> Well, the radiator was all plugged up,
[23:39] too. I thought you just want me to go
[23:40] ahead and set it right.

[25:00] >> When a new ambassador arrives in any
[25:02] capital, protocol requires him to
[25:04] present his credentials to the chief of
[25:06] state. And until he does, he is not
[25:09] really authorized to speak for his
[25:11] country. It is more ceremony than
[25:13] substance, but they still do it. In
[25:15] Washington, it is quick. No ceremony.
[25:17] Ambassadors from small countries have
[25:19] been known to arrive at the White House
[25:21] in taxi cabs. But in London, the world
[25:24] capital of pageantry. Here's how it went
[25:26] when the new US ambassador, Kingman
[25:29] Brewster, called on the queen. Here's
[25:31] Garrick Utley.
[25:33] It wasn't the way you normally dress on
[25:35] a warm June day in London, but it was if
[25:37] you are a new ambassador named Kingman
[25:39] Brewster and on your way to present your
[25:42] credentials to the queen.
[25:44] There were the fine points of protocol
[25:46] to be observed, such as attending to the
[25:48] demands of photographers. Each wanted
[25:51] the top hat off just one more time.
[25:54] The procession of royal carriages
[25:56] carried the new ambassador and his staff
[25:58] through the streets of London. Actually,
[26:00] ambassadors here are accredited to the
[26:02] Court of St. James's, although it's 140
[26:05] years since the monarch's residence was
[26:07] moved to Buckingham Palace. It was there
[26:10] today that Queen Elizabeth received Mr.
[26:12] Brewster, as is customary, in private.
[26:15] While the guard was being changed
[26:17] outside, the Queen and the new
[26:19] ambassador exchanged the diplomatic
[26:21] small talk fitting for such occasions.
[26:23] Less than an hour later, Mr. Brewster
[26:25] was back at the American Embassy. a
[26:28] privilege and pleasure to have a chance
[26:30] to be presented to her majesty as well
[26:32] as to present my credentials.
[26:34] >> And how do you like the tradition, the
[26:36] protocol, and the pomp of being
[26:37] ambassador at the court of St. James's?
[26:39] >> I love it.
[26:41] Afterwards, there was a champagne
[26:43] reception for the VIPs inside and
[26:46] champagne for the coachmen outside.
[26:50] It's frequently asked what an ambassador
[26:52] is supposed to do in this era of
[26:53] personal diplomacy. Like his recent
[26:55] predecessors, Kingman Brewster will have
[26:57] to work out his own personal style of
[26:59] representing the United States. One
[27:01] thing is certain though, it won't be
[27:02] done from a royal coach. From now on,
[27:04] he'll have to settle for the embassy
[27:06] Cadillac. Garrick Utley, NBC News in
[27:09] London.
[27:11] >> John Hart will be here tomorrow night in

[27:53] >> Robert Young for Sanka brand the
[27:55] caffeinated coffee.
[27:56] >> I think it's important to work off
[27:58] tension. Exercise and fresh air all
[28:00] help. But some of us who have a problem
[28:02] with caffeine have to go further. That's
[28:05] why doctors advise millions of people
[28:07] like me to switch to Sanka brand
[28:09] decaffeinated coffee. It has that fresh
[28:11] coffee aroma and taste.
[28:14] There's no caffeine to make me nervous
[28:16] and I really feel good. Sanka brand.
[28:19] It's the coffee you can feel good about.
[28:26] >> There's something to do around every
[28:27] corner in the city of London, including
[28:29] the street markets like this one on
[28:30] Petticoat Lane. People come here not
[28:32] just for the bargains, but to watch
[28:34] other people walking by. The Today
