[0:00] After sections of the Gulf Coast are
[0:02] ripped apart, going back to see what's
[0:04] been spared. And it's what they're after
[0:06] that drives them to crime. The small
[0:08] heist that pays big.
[0:10] From NBC News, this is NBC Nightly News
[0:14] reported from Washington by Brian
[0:17] Williams.
[0:19] Good evening. He is a 75year-old man who
[0:22] has traveled well over a half million
[0:24] miles. He is visiting his fifth
[0:26] continent this year alone. And if there
[0:28] was any doubt, today, Pope John Paul II
[0:30] proved he can fill New York's Central
[0:32] Park. The kind of turnout usually
[0:34] reserved for rock stars. And late today,
[0:37] when he chose to take a short walk in
[0:38] Midtown Manhattan, again, he drew
[0:40] throngs of people, just some of those he
[0:42] will touch on this trip, many of whom
[0:44] believe this is the right time for his
[0:47] message. We begin tonight in New York
[0:49] and NBC's Bob Abernett.

[0:56] With the skyline of Manhattan in the
[0:58] misty distance, 130,000 people packed
[1:01] the great lawn of Central Park to see
[1:04] and worship with John
[1:09] Paul. They'd begun arriving at 500 a.m.
[1:12] and their spirit was joyful. The Pope's
[1:15] messages were familiar, but his special
[1:17] target today was the young whom he urged
[1:20] to protect the unborn and meet the needs
[1:22] of the poor and homeless. Those who are
[1:26] alone or
[1:27] ill, for example, those suffering from
[1:33] AIDS, you are called to stand up for
[1:36] life. I just love the way that he always
[1:38] preaches about peace and love and hope.
[1:42] And by believing in those three things,
[1:44] it's possible to make everybody change
[1:46] their minds about the way they live
[1:48] their life. John Pa
