[0:02] must do next to get the bombing to stop.

[0:05] In depth tonight, flight 1420. Why the

[0:08] crew may not have had the best

[0:09] information about the dangerous weather.

[0:12] Also, flying tired when pilots work too

[0:15] many hours. Lifeline, another difference

[0:18] between men and women. What happens when

[0:21] you take your medicine?

[0:27] And lookout world. Here they come. Words

[0:30] of wisdom to the class of 99.

[0:36] From NBC News world headquarters in New

[0:39] York. This is NBC Nightly News with Tom

[0:42] Bro.

[0:44] Good evening. Tonight, the road to peace

[0:46] in Kosovo. All the signs are encouraging

[0:49] and they do seem to point a way to the

[0:51] end of the bombing soon, maybe even by

[0:53] this weekend. But this is not a matter

[0:55] of just stopping the bombing and then

[0:57] going home. Peace in Kosovo will require

[1:00] peacekeepers and lots of money. We begin

[1:03] tonight with the final arrangements for

[1:05] peace. And NBC's Jim Mcclashesky who's

[1:08] at the Pentagon now. Jim.

[1:10] >> Tom. Officials here remain cautious

[1:11] tonight, but predict that if everything

[1:13] goes as planned, the fighting could be

[1:16] over. And American peacekeepers on the

[1:18] ground in Kosovo within days. American

[1:22] ground troops in Albania preparing to

[1:24] enter Kosovo, not to fight a war, but to

[1:26] enforce a peace. And while NATO

[1:28] warplanes are still attacking Serb

[1:30] troops today, the Pentagon says NATO

[1:32] might call off the air strikes as early

[1:34] as this Sunday.

[1:35] >> If Serbia cooperates, I think the

[1:37] bombing could be halted uh um uh by the

[1:41] end of the weekend or very early next

[1:43] week.

[1:46] It all depends on what happens tomorrow

[1:48] when British General Michael Jackson

[1:49] meets with Serb military leaders to

[1:51] hammer out the details of the withdrawal

[1:53] of Serb troops from Kosovo. Under NATO's

[1:56] plan, the Serbs would have 7 days to

[1:58] pull out all 40,000 troops and hundreds

[2:01] of tanks. Serb troops will have to

[2:03] follow specific routes out of Kosovo or

[2:05] risk being attacked by NATO. Inside

[2:08] Serbia, they'll have to pull back 15 1/2

[2:10] miles from the Kosovo border, creating a

[2:12] permanent demilitarized zone. As soon as

[2:15] Serb troops begin to leave, 50,000 NATO

[2:18] peacekeepers, including 7,000 Americans,

[2:21] will begin to move in. 2,000 Marines,

[2:24] the lead American units, could be inside

[2:26] Kosovo by Tuesday. At the White House

[2:29] today, President Clinton welcomed the

[2:30] potential for peace.

[2:32] >> A chance to shift our focus from

[2:33] defeating something evil to building

[2:36] something good.

[2:37] >> The first priority, find and feed those

[2:40] refugees still trapped inside Kosovo. Uh

[2:42] some of them have been out of their

[2:44] homes for months. Uh we know that the

[2:46] food situation is desperate.

[2:47] >> Then the painstaking process of

[2:49] resettling a million and a half

[2:51] refugees, returning to a homeland in

[2:53] ruins. But tonight, there are more

[2:56] encouraging signs. US intelligence

[2:58] sources report that Serb forces are

[3:00] scaling back on their fighting. A signal

[3:02] perhaps they're preparing to withdraw

[3:04] and that this potential for peace is the

[3:07] real deal. Tom,

[3:08] >> thanks very much. NBC's Jim Klashesky at

[3:10] the Pentagon tonight. Kosovo, of course,

[3:12] is only about the size of Connecticut.

[3:14] It's a small place, but the physical and

[3:16] human damage in this short war is so

[3:18] great. The hatreds run so deep, it will

[3:22] take thousands of troops, billions of

[3:24] dollars, and many years to put it all

[3:26] back together. Here's NBC's Andrea

[3:28] Mitchell.

[3:30] >> It costs billions to destroy Kosovo and

[3:32] the rest of Yugoslavia. Now, officials

[3:35] say it will cost at least 10 times as

[3:37] much to put it back together. What has

[3:39] the war cost? As of this week, $2.6

[3:42] billion, $60 million a day. And now

[3:46] those 7,000 US peacekeepers will cost

[3:48] another $3.5 billion a year. No way of

[3:51] knowing how long they'll stay. But US

[3:54] troops are still in Bosnia 4 years after

[3:56] they first arrived.

[3:58] >> The initial part of it is going to take

[4:00] a large a large force and the

[4:03] international force will be there a long

[4:05] time.

[4:05] >> What will it cost to rebuild? European

[4:08] officials say more than 31 billion

[4:10] dollars for reconstruction, humanitarian

[4:12] aid, and repatriation of refugees to

[4:14] Kosovo and to help neighboring

[4:17] countries, Albania, Romania, Hungary,

[4:19] Croatia, Slovenia, and Macedonia, all

[4:22] suffering because of the war. So, what's

[4:25] missing from this map? Serbia.

[4:27] >> Kosovo cannot prosper without a good

[4:31] relationship with Serbia. And it

[4:33] certainly can't have a good relationship

[4:34] with Serbia while Malosvich is still

[4:36] there. But today, NATO allies say not a

[4:39] penny for Serbia. While Mallosvich, an

[4:41] indicted war criminal, remains in power.

[4:44] >> You have a dictator in charge, an

[4:46] indicted war criminal as your leader.

[4:49] And you cannot expect properly to be

[4:52] part of the reconstruction of the

[4:54] Balkans. While that remains so,

[4:58] >> who will pay? Europeans say they'll pick

[5:00] up 60%. The US says Europe should do

[5:03] even more. Bottom line, the

[5:05] administration says the US paid for most

[5:07] of the fighting. Europe should pay for

[5:09] the peace, but American taxpayers will

[5:11] still end up spending billions in the

[5:13] Balkans for years to come. Andrea

[5:16] Mitchell, NBC News at the State

[5:18] Department.

[5:19] >> Still ahead tonight, Lifeline, the

[5:21] gender gap. Why some prescription drugs

[5:23] might be safe for women but dangerous

[5:26] for women.

[5:28] I hope physicians will begin to think

[5:31] about the sex of the patient, the gender

[5:34] of the patient, when they choose a drug,

[5:36] and when they choose a dose of a drug.

[5:39] Women and prescription drugs, a

[5:41] potentially lethal combination. NBC News

[5:43] in depth tonight, the latest on the

[5:45] investigation into the crash of American

[5:47] Airlines Flight 1420. Are too many

[5:50] pilots too tired to be flying?

[5:54] Heat.

[6:19] Heat.

[6:29] I want this one.

[6:30] >> Quaker toasted oatmeal, crisp oatmeal

[6:32] flakes, and honey sweetened clusters.

[6:33] You haven't wanted a cereal this badly

[6:35] since you were a kid. Hey, you might

[6:37] want a bigger spoon because we've made

[6:39] Quaker toasted oatmeal even better

[6:40] tasting.

[6:43] >> Sir, I need your vehicle.

[6:46] I need to get the 84th in Adams.

[6:50] >> Civil STS, most powerful front-wheel

[6:52] drive car in the world, right?

[6:54] >> Yeah. Beat the 540i in the slow.

[6:56] >> I knew that. Big fan of the Northstar

[6:58] system. Stability track almost reads

[7:00] your mind when it comes to control.

[7:01] >> That was close.

[7:02] >> Trust me, I'm with the government.

[7:05] >> Seville STS. It's what's next.

[7:07] >> Shouldn't you be getting out?

[7:08] >> Oh, they'll be all right.

[7:12] >> I'm glad you came home for the weekend.

[7:13] Dad, when are you going to stop with the

[7:15] butter?

[7:15] >> You know, I like it without the blue

[7:17] hair.

[7:17] >> Steve didn't like it either.

[7:19] >> Steve.

[7:19] >> Dad, seriously, your cholesterol.

[7:21] >> My cholesterol is looking good. And this

[7:23] is not butter.

[7:24] >> New Benol, a delicious spread proven to

[7:26] promote healthy cholesterol levels as

[7:28] reported in places like the New England

[7:30] Journal of Medicine.

[7:31] >> You can eat this and it can be good for

[7:32] you.

[7:32] >> They did some studies. I read about it.

[7:34] >> Wow, I'm impressed.

[7:36] >> New Benacol, a delicious way to manage

[7:38] cholesterol.

[7:39] >> What happened to Dave?

[7:40] >> Things change.

[7:43] When dentures dream, they see the

[7:46] perfect denture cleanser. One with the

[7:49] stain fighting power of effort and the

[7:51] freshening power of Listerine. Well,

[7:54] little friend, dream no more. It's

[7:57] really here. It's called effort plus and

[8:00] it's the only denture cleanser that

[8:03] could make your dream come true. Effort

[8:06] and clean and Listerine fresh. That's

[8:09] effort and plus

[8:11] >> on a new dine Friday. A brilliant heart

[8:14] surgeon who found he could save lives

[8:15] working in his basement.

[8:16] >> There are a lot of patients walking

[8:18] around happy and healthy today because

[8:20] of this very spoon.

[8:21] >> Does he really work miracles?

[8:23] >> Hey, you look great. How do you feel?

[8:25] Feeling great.

[8:25] >> Secrets of a lifesaver. A new datine

[8:28] Friday at 8:7 central after the game on

[8:30] the West Coast.

[8:33] >> NBC News in depth tonight. New

[8:35] information about this week's deadly

[8:36] plane crash in Arkansas in the middle of

[8:39] a dangerous thunderstorm. You're looking

[8:41] now at pictures of the crash scene. This

[8:44] tragedy has raised more questions. Would

[8:46] better forecasting with state-of-the-art

[8:48] equipment have saved lives on American

[8:50] Flight 1420? What is the surviving

[8:53] co-pilot telling the investigators?

[8:55] NBC's Robert Hager tonight begins the

[8:57] in-depth reporting.

[9:00] As some investigators wrapped up

[9:02] examination of wreckage today, others

[9:04] finally conducted a hospital bedside

[9:06] interview with a surviving co-pilot, who

[9:09] told them there was never any discussion

[9:11] of not landing through the wind and rain

[9:13] because he and the pilot could see a

[9:14] lane of open sky, what the co-pilot

[9:17] called a bowling alley between two

[9:19] storms, a clear path to fly through to

[9:22] the runway. But he did say after landing

[9:24] he had the feeling of hydroplaning,

[9:27] skidding over a layer of water down the

[9:29] runway until the plane crashed. Why

[9:31] didn't it stop? Investigators are

[9:33] looking at the plane's spoilers, slats

[9:36] like these that are supposed to pop up

[9:38] automatically on landing to slow down a

[9:40] plane, but inexplicably in this case did

[9:42] not pop up. The co-pilot said he thought

[9:45] the captain had set them beforehand so

[9:47] they would pop up, but he was unable to

[9:49] confirm to investigators today that it

[9:51] had been done. As to weather

[9:53] information, the most detailed normally

[9:55] comes from Doppler radar, which almost

[9:57] anyone at home can see on their local TV

[10:00] station or off the internet. But it's

[10:02] not beamed up to cockpits. Instead, most

[10:05] pilots rely on older radar that can't

[10:07] measure wind speed or look out very far.

[10:10] And only 45 of the nation's largest

[10:12] airports have Doppler, a more elaborate

[10:14] version that's faster and able to warn

[10:16] pilots of winds very close to the

[10:18] ground. But it costs $4 million a unit.

[10:21] So, in Little Rock, where three local

[10:23] television stations have Doppler, and

[10:25] the local office of the National Weather

[10:27] Service as well, the Little Rock airport

[10:29] has only simple wind measuring devices

[10:31] and the older radar, too. Also today,

[10:34] survivors and relatives of the dead

[10:36] taken to see the wreckage. Later from

[10:38] one,

[10:39] >> I needed to see it. I think it made it

[10:41] just a little bit more real.

[10:43] >> Tonight, a bouquet left at top the

[10:44] fuselage, memorial to lost lives. So at

[10:48] week's end, the focus here on the crew's

[10:50] decision to try to land in the first

[10:52] place and whether the spoilers were set

[10:54] properly ahead to pop up and the larger

[10:57] issue of whether pilots have enough

[10:59] weather information nationwide. Tom

[11:01] >> Robert Hager tonight in Little Rock.

[11:03] Thanks very much. Flying a plane of

[11:04] course requires skill and concentration,

[11:07] but are the men and women in their

[11:08] cockpits these days driven to

[11:10] exhaustion? There are an estimated

[11:12] 70,000 pilots flying for major

[11:14] commercial airlines in this country.

[11:16] Federal law limits each pilot to 30

[11:18] flying hours over seven consecutive

[11:20] days. But what about pilot fatigue?

[11:24] NBC's Jim Alawa continues tonight's

[11:26] in-depth reporting.

[11:28] The pilots crashed during the last half

[11:31] hour of American Airlines standard

[11:33] 14-hour pilot day. But the NTSB wants to

[11:37] know more. How long had the crew been

[11:39] awake and its sleeping pattern for the

[11:41] entire 72-hour period before Monday's

[11:44] accident? Operator fatigue uh is one of

[11:47] the leading causes of uh of of crashes

[11:52] and accidents.

[11:53] >> How concerned is the Transportation

[11:55] Safety Board? Tuesday, hours before

[11:57] flight 1420 crashed, chairman Jim Hall

[12:00] wrote a letter criticizing the FAA,

[12:03] delivering this safety recommendation,

[12:06] asking that airlines be forced to set

[12:08] limits on hours of service and provide

[12:10] predictable work and rest schedules. The

[12:13] NTSB asked for limits 10 years ago and

[12:16] the FAA still has no guidelines for the

[12:18] pilot workday.

[12:19] >> And I think it's the time for the

[12:21] administrator and the government to step

[12:23] forward and uh and perform their

[12:25] responsibility.

[12:26] >> The NTSB says American taxpayers have

[12:29] funded study after study showing that

[12:31] fatigue causes mistakes, but the

[12:34] information has not been used.

[12:36] >> Work deteriorates after about 8 hours in

[12:39] a particularly steep curve. among the

[12:41] first brain functions to go. Decisionm

[12:44] >> it's judgment more than motor skills.

[12:46] Absolutely.

[12:48] >> Judgment essential when tired pilots are

[12:50] trying to land a jet in a late night

[12:52] storm. Jim Avala, NBC News, Chicago.

[12:57] >> Up next, the massacre in Tianaan Square.

[13:00] It was 10 years ago tonight. We'll have

[13:02] a report from the scene of that crime

[13:04] against humanity. And later, let the

[13:07] commencements commence. of this year's

[13:09] graduates are saying goodbye school,

[13:12] hello for what passes for the real

[13:14] world.

[13:24] >> Can you return things like vitamins? At

[13:26] GNC, you can. Every product comes with a

[13:29] 100% money back guarantee. We're talking

[13:31] about something you put in your body. If

[13:33] you're not satisfied, we're not either.

[13:36] GNC, come in. Live well. Does your

[13:39] multivitamin know you're a man? Mega men

[13:42] from GNC is made especially for men with

[13:44] ingredients like saw palmetto and jins

[13:46] singh that other brands don't have. It's

[13:48] your body. Take what belongs to you.

[13:50] GNC. Come in. Live well.

[13:57] Every day you give from your heart.

[14:01] So every day keep your heart healthy by

[14:04] lowering cholesterol.

[14:07] Oatmeal Crisp has soluble fiber that may

[14:09] help lower your cholesterol, plus

[14:11] delicious clusters of oats, sweet

[14:13] raisins, and brown sugar. Your heart

[14:15] does so much for you. Make oatmeal Crisp

[14:17] a part of your heart healthy diet and

[14:19] return the favor. Oatmeal Crisp. It's

[14:22] your heart's desire.

[14:24] >> Here's a new idea. A pain reliever from

[14:26] a leave that goes to work fast and lasts

[14:28] all day. Introducing new Alie Gel Caps.

[14:31] Like most gel caps, they go to work

[14:33] fast. But a leave gel caps do more than

[14:36] work fast. They have the strength to

[14:37] work all day long with just two pills.

[14:40] It would take eight Tylenol to do that.

[14:43] Look, if your pain reliever starts fast

[14:44] but won't last, get one that does it

[14:46] all. New Alie gel caps. Two pills all

[14:49] day relief. Works for me.

[15:14] The Mitsubishi Eclipse postponed

[15:16] adulthood starting at under 16 grand.

[15:24] >> Gee, that oatmeal was little.

[15:26] >> Yeah. Done with those sausages.

[15:29] I'm done with them hash browns.

[15:31] >> Sure. You need some help with that

[15:33] bacon?

[15:36] >> How do I get heartburn? All I had was

[15:38] oatmeal. Cutting my lantern.

[15:40] >> Are you kidding? Aluminum or magnesium?

[15:42] You want Tums? Tums has calcium.

[15:44] >> Tums calcium knocks out heartburn fast,

[15:46] then goes to your bones to help keep

[15:48] them stronger longer.

[15:49] >> How about a bag of donuts for the road?

[15:51] How about a bottle of Tums?

[15:54] >> Sunday. Will there be real peace in

[15:56] Kosovo? What did the war achieve? And

[15:58] the Chinese espionage story. What is the

[16:01] next step on Meet the Press at a special

[16:03] time?

[16:06] >> President Clinton took another shot at

[16:07] the gun lobby today, saying he believes

[16:09] people should have to register their

[16:11] guns like they register their cars. The

[16:13] National Rifle Association has long

[16:15] opposed gun registration. It said today

[16:17] it will fight any proposal to put gun

[16:19] owners their names in a federal database

[16:22] of some kind. The US State Department

[16:25] today issued a somber statement marking

[16:26] the 10th anniversary of China's brutal

[16:28] crackdown on student demonstrators in

[16:31] Tianaan Square, saying China still has a

[16:34] long way to go on human rights. In

[16:36] Beijing, things could hardly have looked

[16:38] more different tonight than this night

[16:41] 10 years ago. Here's NBC's Jim in

[16:44] Beijing.

[16:46] >> Today, Chinese soldiers and police out

[16:48] in force around the square, ready to

[16:50] move against any sign of protest. Within

[16:53] seconds, this man, who threw out

[16:54] pro-communist leaflets, was arrested.

[16:57] Even the scene of the 1989 massacre,

[16:59] cleverly hidden from view. Preparations

[17:02] to mark the 50th anniversary of the

[17:04] People's Republic of China on October

[17:06] 1st were to have ended by the end of

[17:08] April, but those works have been

[17:10] extended, effectively walling off the

[17:12] heart of the square to passers by and

[17:16] any potential trouble. Like activist Gao

[17:18] Hong, a leader of a fledgling and

[17:21] illegal opposition party tailed day and

[17:24] night by undercover police, like dozens

[17:26] of other dissident detained this week to

[17:28] diffuse potential outbursts.

[17:32] >> The people still want democracy, but

[17:33] they can't ask for it openly because the

[17:36] government still controls their lives.

[17:38] >> But on university campuses, once the

[17:40] soul of the pro-democracy movement,

[17:42] students have other concerns. Belinda is

[17:44] a business major. What I think most is

[17:49] how to find a job in the future.

[17:52] >> China is booming and today's youth want

[17:54] to taste prosperity. Students in 1989

[17:57] never dreamed of. But as state

[17:59] industries close, unemployment is on the

[18:01] rise. Up to 25 million Chinese out of

[18:04] work. And the Chinese government worries

[18:06] more today about disgruntled workers

[18:08] than idealistic students.

[18:11] Even former radicals like Pong Rang, a

[18:14] prominent leader at Tiennaman Square,

[18:15] today are business leaders. For his role

[18:18] in the protests, he served two years in

[18:20] prison, but now runs a real estate

[18:22] company. His views on all of it today.

[18:26] >> I think we were very naive. What I've

[18:28] learned is that you can't build

[18:30] democracy from one or two movements.

[18:32] It's like building a house. We need to

[18:34] take it step by step. Pong says he's got

[18:36] a family and a career to think about

[18:38] rather than the mistakes of the past. So

[18:41] while the symbols of freedom and

[18:42] defiance, those acts of courage the

[18:44] world still remembers remain a threat to

[18:46] the Chinese government. For most

[18:48] Chinese, it's time to move on. The drama

[18:51] of Teneaman Square, a fading memory. Jim

[18:54] Medum, NBC News, Beijing.

[18:58] Out of personal matters, time now for

[19:00] lifeline. Alarming new information

[19:02] tonight about something that seems to be

[19:04] obvious. Men and women react to the same

[19:07] medicines differently. Here's NBC's

[19:10] chief science correspondent, Robert

[19:11] Miselle.

[19:13] With all the other differences between

[19:15] men and women, now one more potentially

[19:18] deadly. Our bodies respond differently

[19:20] to the very same medications. A problem

[19:22] few doctors considered until recently.

[19:25] >> When physicians go to medical school,

[19:27] we're we're told that everybody has a

[19:28] heart and it's a muscle and it's

[19:30] unrelated to the hormone system of the

[19:33] body. But in fact, hormones play a big

[19:35] role in our reactions to drugs. How do

[19:37] we know? Dr. Raymond Wooley's

[19:39] experiments with rabbit hearts revealed

[19:42] striking results.

[19:43] >> It became pretty clear that the female

[19:46] rabbit heart and male rabbit heart would

[19:49] respond very differently to medications

[19:51] at the exact same concentration.

[19:53] >> The difference often leads to serious

[19:55] electrical abnormalities in the heart.

[19:57] And not just in laboratory animals. When

[19:59] Judy Harrisonish had a kidney

[20:01] transplant, her heart stopped beating, a

[20:04] reaction to a drug she took.

[20:05] >> For all purposes, I really was dead.

[20:08] >> Researchers now understand that with at

[20:10] least 10 different drugs for widely

[20:12] varied uses, this reaction strikes women

[20:15] twice as often as men. Doctors now want

[20:17] to re-examine all 4,000 drugs on the

[20:20] market. Until now, researchers tested

[20:22] most drugs in men only. So, no one knows

[20:24] what the male female differences may be.

[20:26] Dr. Vivian Pin, head of the National

[20:28] Office for Women's Health, says women

[20:30] should start asking whether their drugs

[20:32] pose a threat.

[20:33] >> I can tell you as a physician myself,

[20:36] many times there won't be an answer. We

[20:38] won't know the answer, but that doesn't

[20:41] mean we shouldn't find out the answer.

[20:43] >> And many believe that finding the answer

[20:45] should be a top priority, a difference

[20:48] between men and women that can make the

[20:50] difference between life and death.

[20:51] Robert Bazelle, NBC News, New York.

[20:55] And we have some news on the American

[20:56] economy tonight. A bit of a mixed

[20:58] message on the jobs front. The

[21:00] unemployment rate dropped onetenth of 1%

[21:02] last month. It went back down to 4.2%.

[21:05] That is a 29-year low. The unemployment

[21:08] rate for African-Americans fell to 7

[21:11] 12%. That's the lowest it's been for

[21:14] that group since they started keeping

[21:15] track in 1972. But at the same time,

[21:18] only 11,000 new jobs were created.

[21:21] That's the slowest job growth in more

[21:23] than 3 years now. And wouldn't you know

[21:26] it, Wall Street liked to slow job

[21:28] growth, easing inflation worries just a

[21:30] bit today. So, the Dow was up a little

[21:32] more than 136 points. NASDAQ also a

[21:35] solid gain today. It was up 75 points.

[21:38] For the week, the Dow was up a little

[21:41] more than 240 points. NASDAQ also up

[21:44] almost eight points. And straight ahead

[21:47] tonight, sending the class of 99 out

[21:51] into the world, into a new century.

[21:53] Advice from some familiar faces.

[21:56] >> Thank you all.

[22:26] Chevy Tahoe like a rock.

[22:30] >> Fortunately for Millie, Dr. Espinosa was

[22:32] in the office early while someone else

[22:34] was drafting the marketing plan to sell

[22:36] his home. At 11, he was making his

[22:38] rounds instead of visiting his title

[22:41] company. At 1 p.m., he was giving Pam

[22:44] good news instead of checking for

[22:46] disclosure documents. And by the time

[22:48] Dr. Espinosa wrote the day's last

[22:50] prescription, someone else was at his

[22:52] home meeting a prospective buyer. You've

[22:54] got a life, we let you live it. We're

[22:57] realtors. Real estate is our life.

[23:00] Natural, real. I want to look the way I

[23:04] feel. I'm a Grecian man.

[23:07] >> Grecian fine.

[23:11] >> Want it quick, hasslefree. A look that

[23:14] really looks like me. Grecian man.

[23:18] >> Grecian.

[23:20] >> A Grecian man. No time for gray. A new

[23:23] generation. A whole new day.

[23:26] >> Grecian fire.

[23:30] >> Those daily shower cleaners forget one

[23:32] pesky little detail. Disinfection.

[23:35] Get the only one that does it all.

[23:37] Presenting Lysol Daily Shower Cleaner.

[23:40] Sure, it saves cleanup time, but hello,

[23:42] it also disinfects. If that matters.

[23:45] Till you have our word on it, you can't

[23:47] call it clean. Not all automatic toilet

[23:51] cleaners automatically kill germs.

[23:53] That's why there's Lysol continuous

[23:55] action toilet cleaner. It cleans and

[23:57] kills germs. You have our word on it.

[24:00] >> You won't believe your mouth with this

[24:02] ant acid.

[24:03] >> That's amazing. dissolved almost

[24:05] immediately.

[24:05] >> Like it's gone.

[24:07] >> Introducing Mock's Quick Dissolve

[24:09] Chewables. A whole new kind of calcium

[24:10] ant acid for heartburn.

[24:12] >> It dissolves quickly when you put it in

[24:13] your mouth. Very quick.

[24:15] >> New Mock's Quick Dissolve Chewables

[24:16] dissolve faster and more completely than

[24:18] tums.

[24:19] >> Didn't have to dig it out of my teeth.

[24:20] No grit. It's gone.

[24:22] >> New Mocks Quick Dissolve chewable

[24:24] tablets. Quick dissolve your heartburn

[24:26] away.

[24:26] >> Quick dissolve mailocks

[24:28] >> from 1 minute.

[24:31] Just ahead on the scene at 6, a

[24:33] terrifying experience for a 7-year-old

[24:35] girl in Middle Tennessee. She is

[24:36] kidnapped. We'll tell you who

[24:38] investigators think the kidnapper is and

[24:40] let you know how the ordeal ended. Stay

[24:43] with us. The scene at 6 is just minutes

[24:45] away.

[24:52] Caps and gowns, cheers and tears, bank

[24:54] accounts depleted, loans to be repaid,

[24:56] parents proud, and parents terrified.

[25:00] What if they want to move back into

[25:01] their old bedroom? Yes, it's graduation

[25:03] time across America. The great ritual of

[25:06] commencement and the words that go with

[25:07] it. Lots of words. Many of them

[25:10] memorable and worthwhile.

[25:20] >> Shannon Rice, come here. Shannon

[25:28] lookout world. Here we come.

[25:39] >> Commencement speakers like to say, "Go

[25:41] forth.

[25:43] You're going anyway. You're not going to

[25:45] sit in this side for the rest of your

[25:46] life."

[25:47] >> Begin with that most terrifying thing of

[25:50] all, a clean slate. And then look every

[25:54] day at the choices you are making. And

[25:57] when you ask yourself why you're making

[25:59] them,

[26:01] don't answer to be perfect. Find this

[26:04] answer within you. For me, for me,

[26:08] because these things are who and what I

[26:10] am and mean to be.

[26:12] >> Real fulfillment will come not from

[26:14] leisure, not from idleness, not from

[26:17] self-indulgence. Rather, it will come

[26:20] from striving for a worthwhile objective

[26:23] that helps others and is larger than

[26:27] your self-interest.

[26:28] >> You should at some point in your life

[26:31] seize an opportunity to put the

[26:33] country's interests before your own.

[26:36] Real success comes

[26:39] when you learn to act as if everything

[26:43] depended upon you,

[26:45] everything.

[26:47] and pray as if everything depended upon

[26:51] God. Abandon virtual reality for the

[26:54] real thing. Never pierce anything you

[26:56] can't hide in a job interview.

[26:59] I have the high honor to present the

[27:01] candidates for the Bachelor of Arts

[27:03] degree as recommended by the faculty.

[27:16] I just want

[27:18] to say

[27:21] I love you

[27:24] and I mean it from the bottom of my

[27:29] heart.

[27:30] >> Life is full of unexpected turns and

[27:33] seemingly unbearable setbacks.

[27:36] Granted, it's hard to do, but try to

[27:37] live each day in a way that will make

[27:39] you have no regrets. So when it seems

[27:42] like it's all too much for you to

[27:44] handle,

[27:46] lay back and kick back and let the soul

[27:48] catch up with the body. Go out and find

[27:51] a song that you love or someone you love

[27:53] and take the time to let the whisper of

[27:56] God's voice come into your mind.

[27:58] >> We need as never before the capacity to

[28:03] think and to think with the heart as

[28:07] well as the mind. The best is yet to

[28:10] come.

[28:12] Good luck and God bless you.

[28:40] There, mom. Aren't you proud? The work

[28:42] of producer John Oor and editor Billy

[28:44] Catalano. That's Nightly News for

[28:46] Friday. I'm Tom Brokoff. We'll see you

[28:47] back here Monday night.

[28:52] Nightly News is a presentation of NBC

[28:54] News. More Americans watch NBC News than

[28:57] any other news organization in the

[28:59] world.

[29:02] Now on the scene at
