[0:03] A conviction today that could send
[0:05] Winnie Mandela to jail. A serial rapist
[0:08] that Buffalo police kept secret. And a
[0:12] new idea. What if all Americans had
[0:14] health [music] insurance?
[0:18] This is the CBS Evening News. Dan Rather
[0:21] reporting. Good evening. South Africa's
[0:23] anti-apartite movement took a heavy blow
[0:25] today. Winnie Mandela was found guilty

[1:12] Mrs. Mandela said she was nowhere near
[1:14] her home in Suetto, where the kidnapped
[1:16] victims were taken. The judge called her
[1:18] testimony evasive, contradictory, and
[1:21] said she was a calm, composed, and
[1:23] unblushing liar. Mrs. Mandela has long
[1:26] been engulfed in disputes spawned by her
[1:28] outspokenenness and militant positions
[1:31] against aparite. She was arrested, held
