[0:00] Best news operation in Tennessee.

[0:05] The drug rings stink. Federal agents

[0:07] arrest dozens of American Airlines

[0:10] employees and accuse them of smuggling

[0:12] cocaine and weapons onto passenger

[0:15] planes. A CBS investigation has police

[0:18] departments reconsidering their policy

[0:20] of selling their surplus weapons to gun

[0:23] dealers. and chaos on the eve of a new

[0:26] school year after a judge blocks a

[0:29] voucher program.

[0:34] This is the CBS Evening News

[0:38] with Dan Rather.

[0:41] Good evening. Dan is off tonight. I'm

[0:42] Bob Schaefer. Federal agents descended

[0:44] on a gateway to America today to strike

[0:47] against what they say is a major drug

[0:50] smuggling ring. Dozens of workers were

[0:52] arrested in Miami charged with using

[0:55] American Airlines as a conduit for

[0:57] illegal drugs and weapons. Byron Pittz

[1:00] begins our coverage from Miami.

[1:03] When federal agents raided Miami

[1:05] International Airport this morning, it

[1:07] wasn't the size of the operation, but

[1:09] the location and bravado, they say, that

[1:12] was so shocking. Employees from a major

[1:14] US airline busted for allegedly

[1:17] smuggling cocaine, heroin, even weapons

[1:19] into the US from South America, an

[1:22] operation that moved millions in illegal

[1:24] drugs. for 2 years using phone naronics.

[1:28] Investigators say they watched as

[1:30] baggage handlers and brand workers from

[1:32] American Airlines along with employees

[1:34] from Lufanza Skyf loaded and unloaded

[1:37] what they thought were drug shipments

[1:39] stuffed in food tray carts, trash bags,

[1:42] coffee filters, any place they could

[1:44] make room. More frightening than the

[1:46] smuggling room, say investigators, was

[1:48] the breach of security at Miami

[1:50] International. These are individuals

[1:52] that were not scheduled to work that

[1:54] day. They went to airplanes. They were

[1:56] never challenged. They were never asked.

[1:58] They were never done anything. Why are

[2:00] you here? Are you scheduled to work? No

[2:02] checks, no balances. As CBS News first

[2:06] reported 2 years ago, this undercover

[2:08] operation was started when employees at

[2:10] another airline were arrested for

[2:12] allegedly smuggling 10 tons of cocaine

[2:15] into the US through Puerto Rico. Phase

[2:17] two of this investigation uh I think is

[2:19] going to be more significant. Today's

[2:21] arrest of some 50 airline and food

[2:24] service employees, two federal agents,

[2:26] and one Ber County Sheriff's deputy was

[2:29] phase two. American Airlines admits it's

[2:32] a long-term problem.

[2:34] >> Smuggling has been a problem in our

[2:36] society for decades.

[2:39] >> The slogan at American Airlines is

[2:41] something special in the air. Federal

[2:44] investigators say for several employees

[2:46] that something was cocaine.

[2:49] Byron Pittz, CBS News, Miami.

[2:52] >> The uh people arrested were mainly

[2:55] baggage handlers and ramp workers. No

[2:57] American Airlines managers, pilots, or

[2:59] flight attendants were charged. Still,

[3:01] as Eric Inberg reports, the story raises

[3:03] questions about airline policy.

[3:07] Federal officials said the Miami arrests

[3:09] point to serious security weaknesses in

[3:12] the airline industry's oversight of its

[3:14] own employees. Those weaknesses are even

[3:16] more frightening when the prospect is

[3:18] added of guns and grenades being

[3:21] smuggled onto crowded passenger flights.

[3:23] >> And when you're going down that aisle

[3:25] trying to find your seat and you're

[3:26] putting your bag up with your tennis

[3:28] racket and your kids toys,

[3:32] you're competing with this.

[3:35] >> The Miami airport, which handles the

[3:37] lion share of flights from drug

[3:39] producing countries, has been a

[3:40] recurring law enforcement problem. This

[3:42] investigation is is just a band-aid. Uh

[3:46] what's really important is that we take

[3:48] some action uh as a society uh to

[3:51] correct this problem because airline

[3:54] employees with proper identification can

[3:56] gain access to high security areas of an

[3:58] airport where it's easy to sneak drugs

[4:01] on or off a plane. Company background

[4:04] checks of its own employees are critical

[4:06] in preventing smuggling. But customs

[4:08] chief Ray Kelly said the Miami case

[4:11] should be what he called a wakeup call

[4:13] to the airlines which is simply more

[4:16] airlines to be more vigilant and

[4:18] monitored their employees. Don't forget

[4:20] that the employees have virtually

[4:22] launched as far as being on on the

[4:25] tarmac and being in their pres areas.

[4:27] The government has the power to find

[4:29] airlines whose anti-muggling efforts are

[4:32] found to be inadequate but officials

[4:34] aren't threatening that now hoping that

[4:36] security will be stepped up.

[4:37] voluntarily. They stressed that American

[4:40] Airlines cooperated fully in the Miami

[4:42] investigation and that no one in

[4:44] management was involved in the

[4:46] smuggling. Eric Inber, CBS News,

[4:49] Washington.

[4:51] Government officials are doing an about

[4:52] face on another front. They now say that

[4:54] federal agents did fire incendiary tear

[4:57] gas canisters during the siege at the

[5:00] Branch Devidian Complex near Waco,

[5:02] Texas. They also say the canisters were

[5:05] fired long before this deadly inferno

[5:07] started and they were not fired at the

[5:09] main complex but at a bunker nearby. A

[5:12] justice department official told CBS

[5:14] News today and we quote, "This does not

[5:16] change the bottom line. We did not start

[5:18] the fire. David Caresh did." Well,

[5:21] there's been a quick reaction to this

[5:23] week's Eye on America investigation,

[5:25] which showed how big city police

[5:27] departments are selling their weapons to

[5:30] gun dealers. Correspondent Vince

[5:31] Gonzalez reports tonight that some

[5:34] departments have begun to reassess their

[5:36] policy.

[5:37] >> 1999.

[5:38] >> Responding to a report by CBS News about

[5:40] Detroit's policy of selling its used

[5:42] police weapons, the chief of police

[5:44] today held a news conference to defend

[5:46] those sales. Do you burn them and throw

[5:49] a million dollars almost of city

[5:51] property that could be sold for

[5:54] something or do you just burn it and get

[5:56] nothing for it?

[5:58] And at the time, the city, it's no

[6:00] secret, the city was suffering some

[6:01] financial difficulties. A CBS News

[6:04] investigation looked at the 12 major

[6:06] cities suing gun makers and found most

[6:08] were selling or trading their used

[6:10] weapons to gun dealers. Of the cities we

[6:13] looked at, Detroit was the nation's top

[6:15] law enforcement weapons dealer. Over a

[6:17] 7-year period, the city sold 14 tons of

[6:20] guns. The last sale was in January. Now,

[6:24] the policy will be revisited to

[6:26] determine whether or not uh we will

[6:28] continue to

[6:30] uh sell department firearms.

[6:34] In Irving, Texas, where CBS News found

[6:36] the police department sold military

[6:38] grenade launchers and assault weapons,

[6:40] the city council had some questions

[6:42] about those sales and has put it on the

[6:44] agenda for a meeting tomorrow. Irving's

[6:46] police chief defended the policy. Uh our

[6:49] policy is and has been that we will sell

[6:51] to authorized gun dealers as long as the

[6:54] uh ATF authorizes and authorizes the

[6:57] transfer.

[6:58] >> Texas state officials also justified

[7:00] their policy of selling and trading

[7:02] weapons, telling CBS if the department

[7:04] had destroyed those weapons and

[7:06] purchased new weapons, that transaction

[7:08] would have cost the taxpayers of Texas

[7:10] nearly $2 million. And in Colorado,

[7:13] where four of the five departments who

[7:15] responded to the Littleton massacre,

[7:16] including the Denver police, sold

[7:18] weapons to gun shops, Denver's chief

[7:21] announced last night that his department

[7:23] would now only sell firearms to other

[7:25] law enforcement agencies. And late

[7:27] today, police officials in St. Louis

[7:29] tell CBS News that as a result of our

[7:31] reports, a six-f figureure weapons deal

[7:33] approved just last week is now on hold.

[7:36] Vince Gonzalez, CBS News, Los Angeles.

[7:40] On the CBS weather watch, we want to

[7:42] check up now on those three tropical

[7:44] storms lined up in the Atlantic. Cindy,

[7:46] Dennis, and Emily. Of most concern to

[7:49] the US mainland is Dennis. And CBS News

[7:51] weather consultant Brian Norcross says

[7:54] no one sure what Dennis might do next.

[7:58] Certainty is in very short supply with

[8:00] this storm. We have two things

[8:01] happening. First of all, the storm is

[8:03] intensifying. We think it will be a

[8:04] hurricane later today. The second thing

[8:06] is it's not moving like it was supposed

[8:08] to. And this is why that's important.

[8:11] Here's Dennis down here, still near the

[8:13] bottom end of the Bahamas. Now, you see

[8:14] very clearly this wind flow up to the

[8:17] north. But what we thought was going to

[8:19] happen is we thought Dennis was going to

[8:20] kind of move maybe through the Bahamas

[8:22] or just offshore up toward the

[8:24] southeast, get caught in that wind flow,

[8:26] perhaps go up the east coast, perhaps

[8:28] just uh onshore, just offshore. We're

[8:30] not at all certain about that now

[8:32] because if that flow goes away, the next

[8:35] thing behind that puts big question

[8:38] marks everywhere from the tip of

[8:39] Florida. Conceivably, it's even a flow

[8:42] back the other way. So, until the storm

[8:44] starts to move, we really are not sure.

[8:46] So, what are the concerns now? What

[8:48] should we be watching for now, Brian?

[8:50] Well, the first thing is how strong is

[8:52] this storm going to be? Because we

[8:53] really think this is going to be a major

[8:55] hurricane, category 3 at least. The

[8:57] second thing is we don't want anybody in

[8:59] the southeast southeast to take their

[9:01] all the storm from now into the weekend.

[9:03] Thank you, Brian.

[9:05] Rain has been a rarity in much of the

[9:07] east this summer and the government said

[9:09] today the drought could cost farmers

[9:11] more than $1 billion. That includes lost

[9:14] crop production and higher expenses for

[9:16] livestock, feed, and utilities. Hundreds

[9:18] of wildfires are burning tonight in

[9:20] Nevada and California. A new one is out

[9:23] of control in Southern California's

[9:25] Mount Waly area. is sparked by a vehicle

[9:28] that crashed off the side of a road

[9:30] north of Reno. Firefighters have mostly

[9:32] contained a fire that has charred more

[9:35] than 4,500 acres. The flames threatened

[9:38] a sanctuary for exotic animals. They are

[9:40] safe but singed. And still ahead on

[9:43] tonight's CBS Evening News, a school

[9:45] tuition crunch after a judge blocks a

[9:48] voucher program. Can Mozart make your

[9:51] kids smarter? We'll have the results of

[9:53] a new study. and the story of a man who

[9:55] is 5,000 years late for death.

[10:02] This is Unison Sleep Gels. It helps you

[10:04] sleep. This is Tylenol PM. It helps you

[10:08] sleep, too. They both have the exact

[10:10] same amount of the exact same sleep

[10:12] ingredient. But Tylenol PM has added

[10:15] medicine for headaches, backachches,

[10:17] even fever. Do you have a headache?

[10:20] Uh-uh. Back. Fever. Uh-uh. Then why take

[10:23] medicine for it? Take USA. It's a safe,

[10:27] non-habit forming way to fall fast

[10:30] asleep.

[10:32] My pens used to be big on mess, but now

[10:34] they sparkle. What's my secret? Boston

[10:37] Market. For a limited time, you can get

[10:39] a quarter dark rotisserie chicken, two

[10:41] mouthwatering sides, cornbread, and a

[10:42] Coke for just $4.99. Boston Market

[10:45] dinner. It's done.

[10:48] You already know how important calcium

[10:50] is for your bones. So, did you know that

[10:52] 85% of women still don't get enough? So,

[10:55] start your day with total. It's the only

[10:57] eating cereal that's an excellent source

[10:59] of calcium even before adding milk. In

[11:02] fact, total has more calcium than the

[11:04] milk itself. No other eating cereal

[11:06] comes close. Simple, low fat, delicious,

[11:09] so good you can feel it in your bones.

[11:12] Total total raisin to cornflakes. One

[11:15] more great source of calcium.

[11:18] Wedding season is here. And isn't it

[11:20] nice to know there's one thing that will

[11:21] never let you down? Thompson's wood

[11:23] protector. For rain, sun, mildew, it's

[11:26] the most powerful Thompson's yet. You

[11:27] may now protect the deck. Thompson's

[11:30] wood protector. It never takes a day

[11:32] off.

[11:34] With tuition voucher programs under fire

[11:37] in several states, there was much

[11:38] confusion in Cleveland today when

[11:40] schools opened there. One day after a

[11:42] federal judge suspended Ohio's voucher

[11:45] program, Cleveland public schools are

[11:47] wondering how to absorb more students

[11:50] and parents are wondering how to come up

[11:52] with more money. Cynthia Bowers has our

[11:54] report.

[11:58] >> For second grader Dincia Austin, back to

[12:01] school jitters are to be expected, but

[12:03] today it is her dad who finds himself

[12:05] the more anxious of the two.

[12:07] >> The school means a lot to me. Uh, I have

[12:12] seen Dincia make remarkable progress.

[12:15] >> Vincent Austin fears his daughter's

[12:17] future is in jeopardy. She and in fact

[12:20] nearly half of the students here at Our

[12:21] Lady of Peace Catholic School could lose

[12:24] the vouchers that pay most of their

[12:26] tuition.

[12:27] >> I was really devastated. I didn't find

[12:29] out about it until late last night.

[12:32] That's when a federal judge filed an

[12:34] injunction calling for an immediate halt

[12:36] to Cleveland's school voucher program,

[12:38] pending a trial to determine whether it

[12:40] violates the constitutional separation

[12:42] of church and state.

[12:44] >> This is an important decision because it

[12:46] guarantees that Ohio taxpayers do not

[12:49] have to fund private religious schools.

[12:52] >> In its fourth year, the city of

[12:54] Cleveland has the nation's longest

[12:55] running school voucher program, but it

[12:58] is also perhaps the most vulnerable to

[13:00] court challenge. That's because of the

[13:02] 56 participating private schools here,

[13:04] most of them happen to be religious

[13:06] institutions. I have my first phone call

[13:09] at a quarter to 7 this morning. All

[13:11] morning long, Principal Sheila Bolick

[13:13] found herself trying to reassure worried

[13:16] parents. She argues religion is a

[13:18] secondary issue. We are offering them

[13:20] the morals, the training that is not

[13:23] available in the public system. And on

[13:26] top of that, and more importantly, we're

[13:27] offering them a good education. For now,

[13:30] most of the private schools in Cleveland

[13:32] are urging parents to leave their kids

[13:33] where they are pending an appeal.

[13:37] >> The only thing that's certain is that

[13:39] regardless of what happens in the

[13:40] courts, Dincia Austin will remain here,

[13:43] her dad says, even if he has to work

[13:45] three jobs to come up with her $2,000

[13:48] tuition. Cynthia, CBS News, Cleveland.

[13:52] Late today, a group called the

[13:54] Children's Scholarship Fund based here

[13:56] in New York said it would offer

[13:58] financial assistance to the parents in

[13:59] Cleveland. The group said it wants to

[14:01] make sure that every one of these

[14:03] children is able to go to the school of

[14:05] their choice. On the CBS Market Watch,

[14:08] the ATM industry assured the public

[14:10] today the machines will work when the

[14:12] year 2000 arrives and that there is no

[14:14] need to pull your money out of the bank.

[14:16] After hours stock trading moved into a

[14:18] new phase today when an electronic

[14:21] exchange called Market XT began the

[14:24] first real evening session from 6 to 8

[14:27] Eastern time. And on the New York

[14:29] exchange, the Dow gained 42 points today

[14:31] to close at a record high. The Nasdaq

[14:34] was up 53 points. Just ahead on the CBS

[16:48] >> Morris Yelson says he is back in

[16:49] fighting form and ready for battle,

[16:51] especially with Westerners. The Russian

[16:53] president was a little shaky on his feet

[16:56] but loud with his boasts at a summit

[16:58] meeting with the leaders of China and

[17:00] three former Soviet republics. Yelson

[17:03] and Chinese President Jang Ja said they

[17:05] want to build a strategic alliance to

[17:08] counter US domination of the world. The

[17:11] prime minister of Turkey blamed the

[17:13] press today for what he called

[17:14] demoralizing coverage of the nation's

[17:16] worst earthquake. Anger has been rising

[17:19] over the government's slow response to

[17:20] the disaster and Randall Kingston

[17:23] reports tonight from Istanbul.

[17:27] >> Clowns dressed as doctors today at

[17:29] Istanbul's University Hospital.

[17:33] >> We'll try anything here to unlock the

[17:35] nightmare of children who were buried

[17:37] alive.

[17:39] Ismo and Morat were rescued after 5

[17:42] days. Suna was buried for four. The

[17:45] doctors didn't want them to talk, but

[17:48] little Ismmail said, "It was dark. I

[17:50] cried and called my mother and no one

[17:52] answered." Murat's mother, like so many

[17:55] here in Turkey, is talking. "The doctors

[17:58] have helped us," she said. "The

[18:00] government has done nothing. It's a

[18:02] feeling shared by most people here.

[18:06] The government is finally taking action.

[18:08] Tense cities for the homeless are

[18:10] springing up across the earthquake zone,

[18:13] but not fast enough to save people close

[18:15] to collapse from exposure and neglect.

[18:18] Dr. Ceseri Consolu of ISM says the

[18:21] earthquake changed everything.

[18:23] >> It affect more than the medical care

[18:25] affect the education to leave. It's

[18:27] affect the life. You see nobody is

[18:29] around to help each other. All the

[18:32] neighbors is gone.

[18:33] >> And without neighbors, the normal

[18:35] support system is missing. Which means

[18:37] people will need more help from the

[18:39] government. But for that to happen, the

[18:41] whole attitude of government and

[18:43] politics must change. It's also a

[18:46] mentality.

[18:48] People have to change first their

[18:50] mentality. Civil engineer Dr. Hussein

[18:53] Axu has been trying to change the

[18:55] building code for years. After the

[18:57] earthquake, the government is suddenly

[18:59] listening.

[19:01] Newspaper publisher Errol Guben believes

[19:03] the earthquake had a broader impact.

[19:06] It's not only struck the buildings, the

[19:09] region, the cities, the people, it also

[19:12] struck

[19:14] the trust of the people on the

[19:17] government.

[19:18] But in spite of the loss of trust in

[19:20] Turkeykey's government, no one expects

[19:22] it to fall. And people are still too

[19:25] stunned by the earthquake to try to do

[19:27] anything to change it. Randle Kingston,

[19:30] CBS News, Istanbul, Turkey.

[19:33] >> Took more than a year for the United

[19:34] States Senate to confirm his nomination,

[19:36] but today, Richard Hullbrook finally

[19:38] began his job as US ambassador to the

[19:41] United Nations. Hullbrook was sworn in

[19:43] at a private ceremony. He leaves Friday

[19:45] for a diplomatic tour of the Balkans.

[19:52] really brain food?

[19:59] A lot of people have allergies. I have

[20:02] multi symptom nasal allergies. It's the

[20:04] sneezing, itchy, runny nose, the nasal

[20:08] congestion. It's all of it. I told my

[20:10] doctor, I had it. I've had it. I want an

[20:12] allergy medicine made for my kind of

[20:14] allergies. He prescribed multi symptom

[20:16] fluise. Flise nasal spray once a day

[20:20] relieves all nasal allergy symptoms all

[20:22] day and night. All it takes is Flise,

[20:25] >> the number one prescribed nasal allergy

[20:27] spray. Even kids as young as four can

[20:29] use Fllonise. For best results, use

[22:19] Exposing young children to the strains

[22:21] of classical music may help them

[22:23] appreciate the finer things in life when

[22:25] they grow up. But does it also make them

[22:27] smarter than children who tuned out the

[22:30] music? Elizabeth Kaledan tonight answers

[22:33] that musical question.

[22:39] Watching one of Kent Gil Martin's Music

[22:41] Together classes, there seems little

[22:43] doubt about the positive impact of music

[22:45] on children. I can tell from the the

[22:48] eyes of the children in my classroom or

[22:50] babies, 18-month-olds, three-year-olds

[22:52] and foury olds that music matters to

[22:54] them.

[22:55] >> But the big question being debated among

[22:57] psychologists is, can listening to

[22:59] music, especially classical music, make

[23:02] children smarter? The debate was

[23:04] triggered by a study back in 1993 that

[23:07] found that college students who listen

[23:09] to a particular Mozart piano sonata

[23:11] performed better on certain tests. It

[23:14] was dubbed the Mozart effect. The

[23:17] finding led to brisk sales of Mozart CDs

[23:20] for babies and had mothers like Amy Vina

[23:22] hoping for the best. I listened to a

[23:24] Mozart CD all through my pregnancy. But

[23:28] today, Harvard researcher Christopher

[23:30] Shabri has published new research, a

[23:32] reququum for the Mozart effect, saying

[23:34] the magic flute is no magic pill for

[23:37] intelligence.

[23:38] >> There's no Mozart effect for abstract

[23:40] reasoning or general intelligence. There

[23:42] might be a small um benefit on these

[23:45] spatial temporal tasks, but it's still

[23:48] um not a large enough benefit that we

[23:49] can say that it's not due to chance.

[23:52] >> The author of the original study said in

[23:54] a phone interview her results have been

[23:56] misrepresented.

[23:58] >> Well, I think there have been a lot of

[23:59] misunderstandings out there. Um first

[24:01] and foremost is probably, you know, that

[24:03] listening to Mozart is going to make you

[24:05] smarter and that's certainly, you know,

[24:07] obviously not the case.

[24:10] Child development experts say it's

[24:12] important not to let the scientific

[24:13] debate drown out the inherent value of

[24:16] music. It

[24:17] >> would be a shame if we um concluded from

[24:20] this study that we have to tune off our

[24:22] CDs and get back to the uh reading and

[24:24] writing arithmetic.

[24:26] >> Parents here have no plans to do that,

[24:28] saying scientific claims that Mozart

[24:30] will make their children smarter are not

[24:32] as important as the knowledge that

[24:33] having music in their lives will make

[24:35] them richer. Elizabeth Kaledan, CBS

[24:38] News, Princeton, New Jersey.

[24:40] >> The question in Scotland is why are some

[24:51] right on it. Coming up next on the CBS

[27:04] There are two summer traditions in

[27:06] Spain. The running of the bulls in

[27:08] Pmplona and the lesserk known tomato

[27:10] throwing festival, which was today in

[27:13] the little town of Bunyong. 30,000

[27:16] people showed up from as far away as

[27:18] Japan. The town supplied free wine and

[27:21] 140 tons of ripe tomatoes.

[27:25] And finally, yesterday we reported the

[27:28] discovery of 10,000 ancient mummies in

[27:31] Egypt. Well, word today of another find.

[27:34] This one in the frozen northwest corner

[27:36] of the Yukon territory of Canada. The

[27:39] remains of a man, apparently a hunter

[27:41] that may be 5,000 years old, were found

[27:44] in a melting glacier. His nicely woven

[27:47] hat, spear, and the body of a moose were

[27:49] found beside him. All of it was quickly

[27:52] moved to cold storage. Once these kinds

[27:54] of remains are exposed to the sun, they

[27:57] deteriorate extraordinarily rapidly.

[27:59] Scientists say the find may rank with

[28:01] the discovery of this wellpreserved body

[28:03] of a 5,000-year-old hunter found in an

[28:06] alpine glacier eight years ago, which

[28:08] gave scientists new understanding of

[28:10] life in prehistoric times. Once

[28:13] scientists finished their study of the

[28:14] body found in Canada, they promised to

[28:17] bury it in the ice where they found it.
