[0:22] >> Remind you of anyone?

[0:24] >> Not really.

[0:44] >> A few days ago, meteorologists were

[0:46] looking at the warmest US temperatures

[0:48] on record for December, January, and

[0:50] February, and talking about the winter

[0:53] that never arrived. Well, it's arrived.

[0:56] Has it ever? James Atoutorii reports on

[0:59] the late winter blizzard that buried 10

[1:01] states from the Rockies to the upper

[1:03] Midwest.

[1:05] North Central Colorado came to a snowy

[1:08] white slowdown today. A severe overnight

[1:10] blizzard dumped as much as 20 in in

[1:13] Boulder. High winds blew drifts several

[1:15] feet deep, closing major highways and

[1:18] stranding hundreds of motorists.

[1:20] >> It was terrible last night. We uh we was

[1:22] lucky to make it this far. A roadside

[1:25] fast food restaurant became a makeshift

[1:27] motel for 200 people who had no way to

[1:30] get anywhere.

[1:31] >> And as soon as they opened the roads, I

[1:34] will be at work, but that I'm not going

[1:36] to be there in 15 minutes.

[1:39] >> In Denver, the storm hit hard and fast,

[1:42] closing schools and businesses and

[1:44] knocking out power lines. 82year-old

[1:46] Faith Logesson had no heat last night. I

[1:49] stayed in bed as long as I could and

[1:53] then I got didn't even have enough

[1:55] blankets to keep warm, so I had to uh

[2:00] go somewhere else.

[2:01] >> Officially, Denver's Stableton Airport

[2:03] had one runway open and kept snow

[2:05] equipment working all night, but

[2:07] airlines weren't taking any risks. The

[2:10] only passenger connections were with

[2:12] empty lounge space. Flights were all

[2:14] cancelled, snowed like crazy, and um we

[2:17] finally dug up some um blankets and

[2:20] pillows and slept on the floor last

[2:22] night. By midday, the storm began to

[2:24] loosen its icy grip on Colorado, moving

[2:26] east into parts of Kansas and Nebraska.

[2:29] A Midwest deep breeze during one of the

[2:31] nation's mildest winters in years. James

[2:34] Htori, CBS News, Dallas.

[2:36] >> Stay with us now for more CBS News. The

[2:39] cause of a deadly crash is discovered.

[2:42] So why are victims families kept in the

[2:44] dark?

[2:52] >> As beneficial as self-examination is,

[2:55] Mary Brody won't feel the tiny lump in

[2:57] her breast for another 2 years. But

[3:00] she'll discover it tomorrow after her

[3:02] first mamog, thanks in part to a new

[3:05] X-ray film created by Dupant that makes

[3:08] it safer to start mimography early. And

[3:10] for Mary, early detection means a 2-year

[3:13] head start on the rest of her life. At

[3:16] DuPont, we make the things that make a

[3:18] difference.

[3:23] >> Hey, I hope you're home.

[3:25] >> Thank you for a lovely dinner.

[3:28] >> Aren't you going to ask me in

[3:31] >> for coffee?

[3:32] >> Well,

[3:34] I do have tasters choice.

[3:37] >> Then how can I refuse?

[3:39] Savor the sophisticated taste of

[3:41] Taster's Choice.

[3:44] >> Well,

[3:45] >> just one more cup.

[3:48] >> You uh said that two cups ago.

[3:50] >> You know how much I love your coffee.

[3:54] >> Then

[3:56] by all means,

[3:58] take it with you.

[4:07] Tylenol users discover a powerful name

[4:09] in aspirin-free pain relief.

[4:10] >> It took away my headache. Aspirinfree

[4:12] Anisonin worked as well as Tylenol.

[4:14] >> Like Tylenol, aspirin free Andisonin is

[4:16] 100% aspirin free acetaminophen. So it's

[4:19] gentle on your stomach.

[4:20] >> Now I have a choice.

[4:22] >> To save them or to slaughter them. The

[4:25] battle is on.

[4:27] >> Survival of the wildest. 48 hours

[4:30] Wednesday.

[4:34] Officials of the US Defense Department

[4:35] now say North Korea has apparently

[4:37] decided to avoid a showdown with the

[4:40] United States over a shipment of Scud

[4:41] missiles to Iran. Last week, US Navy

[4:44] ships and planes were tracking a North

[4:46] Korean cargo ship in the Indian Ocean

[4:48] believed to be heading for the Persian

[4:50] Gulf. But today, CBS News correspondent

[4:52] David Martin reports they couldn't find

[4:54] it, and the Navy concluded the Korean

[4:56] ship may have changed course.

[4:59] Manakim Bean, the former prime minister

[5:01] of Israel, was buried today on

[5:03] Jerusalem's Mount of Olives. Bean was a

[5:05] Zionist freedom fighter who later won a

[5:07] Nobel Peace Prize, then fled another

[5:10] round of war into sudden and complete

[5:13] retirement. Began died overnight at 78.

[5:17] Bob Simon tells his story.

[5:20] The man who secluded himself from the

[5:22] Israeli people almost a decade ago was

[5:25] mobbed by thousands of admirers of

[5:27] worshippers on the day of his death.

[5:30] Manakim Bean could have had a state

[5:32] funeral with pomp and ceremony oratory

[5:34] and eulogy. But he wanted a people's

[5:37] burial. The dimminionative corpse was

[5:39] carried to the grave on a stretcher in a

[5:42] simple prayer shaw. He was laid to rest

[5:45] by aging comrades in arms singing the

[5:48] anthem of the ideological movement where

[5:50] Manakim began began. As a young man in

[5:53] Poland, he committed himself to the most

[5:55] militant brand of Zionism. He lost both

[5:58] his parents and his brother in the

[6:00] Holocaust. Once in Palestine, he led the

[6:03] underground Urgun organization in a

[6:06] campaign of violence against the

[6:07] British. In 1946, his men bombed

[6:11] Jerusalem's King David Hotel, then

[6:13] British military headquarters. Nearly

[6:16] 100 people died. After Israel's

[6:19] independence in 1948, Bean found himself

[6:22] on the right-wing fringes of Israeli

[6:24] politics, where he stayed for almost 30

[6:26] years. His electoral victory in 1977

[6:30] sent chills through the Western world,

[6:32] through the Arab world. But within

[6:34] months, he was negotiating with Anoir

[6:36] Sadat. Within two years he was signing a

[6:39] peace treaty with Egypt.

[6:41] >> No more war, no more bloodshed,

[6:45] no more bereavement.

[6:48] Peace unto you.

[6:49] >> But peace was not to be his future. In

[6:52] 1981, he unleashed war plananes to bomb

[6:55] a nuclear reactor near Baghdad. A year

[6:58] later, he invaded Lebanon and as so many

[7:01] before him, got bogged down. In

[7:03] September 1983, he resigned saying, "I

[7:07] cannot go on." The rest was silence.

[7:10] >> Could be that he got tired. Could be he

[7:12] got disappointed. Could be that he w

[7:15] going into Lebanon with losing so many

[7:18] so many casualties. He did resign in the

[7:20] end.

[7:21] >> The prayer for the dead was uttered by

[7:23] Manakim Bean's son and political heir

[7:25] Benjamin who has declared his ambition

[7:28] to become prime minister of Israel. Bob

[7:32] Simon, CBS News, Jerusalem.

[7:44] >> I use a shampoo for dandruff, but my

[7:46] scalp still itches like crazy. You need

[7:48] new Scalpison, the revolutionary scalp

[7:51] medicine for deep scalp itch, not

[7:52] ordinary dandruff. Scalpison is not a

[7:55] shampoo. It's a clear liquid you don't

[7:56] wash away like shampoo. Apply Scalpison

[7:59] anytime for deep scalp itch relief with

[8:01] medicine chosen by dermatologists over

[8:03] all these dandruff shampoo formulas.

[8:05] Scalpison penetrates to relieve the itch

[8:07] and help prevent flaking.

[8:09] >> The itch is gone.

[8:10] >> New Scalpison, the scalp medicine for

[8:12] deep scalp itch.

[8:14] >> Where do you want to be in 20 years?

[8:17] >> Well, my father worked for the same

[8:18] company for 39 years. He got 2 weeks

[8:22] vacation, but we never traveled far. He

[8:24] was saving to put three kids through

[8:26] college. At 65, he retired. At 67, he

[8:31] died.

[8:33] How can I invest so that after my kids

[8:35] graduate, I can enjoy the second half of

[8:37] my life?

[8:38] >> You can get there from here with She

[8:41] Leman Brothers.

[8:44] >> DALE. DALE NHARD, WHY ARE YOU GETTING

[8:46] YOUR oil change at the GM dealership?

[8:58] dealer. Come in for a Mr. Good Wrench

[9:06] millions of prizes. Just come in,

[9:08] scratch, and win during the Flag of

[9:09] Winter sweep stakes at your

[9:10] participating GM dealer. Now,

[9:14] >> I'm Mark McKill

[9:15] >> and I'm Paul. Think you found the

[9:17] perfect house?

[9:17] >> Better check with the town. This could

[9:19] become your neighbor. Tomorrow on CBS

[9:21] This Morning, it's breakfast for your

[9:22] head.

[9:26] The US Air Force has completed a

[9:27] preliminary investigation into the crash

[9:29] of a National Guard Transport Plane last

[9:32] month in southern Indiana, but officials

[9:34] refused to say why the plane went down,

[9:37] killing 16 people. Correspondent

[9:39] Jacqueline Adams reports.

[9:42] >> Time has not lessened the horror. At the

[9:45] Evansville, Indiana Civilian Airport

[9:47] last month, a C130 transport plane

[9:49] practicing simple takeoffs and landings

[9:51] crashed into a hotel and restaurant. 11

[9:54] people on the ground were killed along

[9:56] with five Air National Guard crew

[9:58] members. Why did it happen? Could it

[10:00] happen again? There were no obvious

[10:02] clues in the airport control tower tape

[10:04] released today. Just a signal that broke

[10:07] off mid word.

[10:09] >> I'll let you go. We're low approach for

[10:10] choice. Okay, we'll be alone first

[10:12] probably

[10:15] one there's going

[10:18] >> four weeks later the local Air National

[10:20] Guard unit says enough has been learned

[10:22] from the crash to alert other C130

[10:24] pilots so they can avoid similar

[10:26] accidents. However, in Evansville,

[10:28] grieving relatives are being kept in the

[10:30] dark.

[10:31] >> I feel like we have every right to know.

[10:34] And because we're not getting the answer

[10:36] to a lot of questions, I feel like it's

[10:38] prolonging our grief and making it even

[10:40] more difficult for us.

[10:42] >> The Air Force thinks they're operating

[10:44] in 1942 rather than 1992 if uh if they

[10:50] can uh stonewall me on information as

[10:53] basic as this. In essence, they can

[10:54] stonewall any anyone.

[10:56] >> Because of strict military regulations,

[10:58] the flight's crucial black box recording

[11:00] and the Air Force's conclusions will

[11:02] never be released. But officials claim

[11:04] the public will eventually receive

[11:06] enough information to answer most

[11:08] outstanding questions.

[11:10] >> Hopefully that great amount of

[11:12] information uh will will satisfy the

[11:15] needs of the people in Evansville.

[11:17] >> The Air Force says a report will be made

[11:19] public within the next 6 weeks, not soon

[11:21] enough for those who lost their loved

[11:24] ones. Jacqueline Adams, CBS News, New

[11:27] York.

[11:28] >> Coming up next, what we think is an

[11:30] especially interesting eye on America.

[11:32] you and your possessions until debt do

[11:35] you part.

[11:44] Here's one way to improve your marriage.

[11:47] Take your husband to a quality comfort

[11:50] clarion sleep hotel where the weekend

[11:52] rates start as low as $29 a night. Then

[11:55] put on your best nighting and dim the

[11:58] lights. That should get your husband

[12:00] very excited. Men just love to save

[12:04] money.

[12:05] >> To qualify for special weekend rates,

[12:08] call 18004 choice and reserve a room.

[12:12] >> How could this happen? They've taken the

[12:14] secret.

[12:15] >> Europeans are upset the Kellogg's Musl

[12:18] cereal uses their secret recipe.

[12:20] >> This we kept in the family.

[12:21] >> After all, they've been guarding this

[12:23] delicious secret forever. Ah, but this

[12:26] luscious blend of sweet fruit, crunchy

[12:28] nuts, and crisp whole grains was

[12:30] destined to become Kellogg's Muslim.

[12:34] You told

[12:36] >> it wasn't me. I swear.

[12:38] >> Kellogg's Musl the European secret for

[12:40] great taste.

[12:42] >> How bad is your sinus pain?

[12:43] >> Just feels like somebody's blowing up

[12:44] your face.

[12:45] >> Look, all these sinus pain formulas have

[12:47] the same medicine.

[12:48] >> You're kidding.

[12:48] >> But Drian sinus contains ibuprofen.

[12:51] >> I would try that. Sure. No pain at all.

[12:53] It's good. I like Drian sinus. Tristan,

[12:55] the face of relief today.

[13:01] >> For cleaning, shining, and disinfecting,

[13:04] nothing outperforms us in the bathroom.

[13:06] Dao Bathroom Cleaner starring scrubbing

[13:08] bubbles. We work hard so you don't have

[13:11] to.

[13:15] >> My husband's on the phone. He's going to

[13:17] faint.

[13:18] >> Ma to California.

[13:19] >> Oh, God.

[13:20] >> People just like you.

[13:23] When thousands win millions

[13:26] out of the blue,

[13:29] >> miracles can happen

[13:32] for you.

[13:33] >> Holy cow.

[13:35] >> Publishers Clearing House, the house

[13:37] where dreams come true.

[13:45] As you know, how could you not? There's

[13:47] a recession going on and a lot of

[13:49] businesses are struggling. But there is

[13:51] at least one exception. In tonight's Eye

[13:54] on America, Frank Courier takes you

[13:56] along with the repo man. His business is

[13:59] picking up.

[14:01] >> 77 Mercedes, 450 SL, red in color. Being

[14:05] an illegal thief.

[14:08] Everything goes right, gone in about 30

[14:10] seconds. In

[14:11] >> 16 years, three times I've had a gun

[14:12] held to my head.

[14:13] >> You're the bad guy with everybody.

[14:15] >> For millions of people deep in debt,

[14:17] he's the last man you want to see at

[14:19] your door.

[14:21] You know what the contract says, you

[14:23] don't pay, you got to give it up.

[14:25] >> He's the repo man, a modern-day bounty

[14:27] hunter hired by the bank as a last

[14:29] resort to stalk delinquent borrowers and

[14:31] repossess a part of their world.

[14:33] >> We're not here to to discuss options.

[14:35] We're here to pick the vehicle up and

[14:36] that's it.

[14:37] >> It happens every day in a yach filled

[14:39] marina on the Sacramento River. They

[14:41] snatch an inboard cruiser with an unpaid

[14:43] debt.

[14:44] >> Mobile tube to base. I have possession

[14:46] of the boat

[14:47] >> nearby. The towing gets tough as a repo

[14:49] team works furiously to hook up and

[14:51] sneak off with a 20ft motor home.

[14:53] >> This one, they were hiding it and we

[14:55] knew it.

[14:56] >> Recession means repossession and even

[14:58] $100,000 helicopters are falling victim

[15:00] to the bill collector.

[15:01] >> You don't have a conscience that follows

[15:03] you, huh?

[15:04] >> No, never.

[15:05] >> Why not?

[15:06] >> Can't hit in the collection business.

[15:07] You don't have a conscience.

[15:08] >> With the instincts and pocket tools of a

[15:10] car thief, many repo men hit the streets

[15:12] after midnight. In Cincinnati, Huck Finn

[15:15] and his helpers have but two minutes to

[15:16] take back a pickup from outside a motel

[15:18] room where the DTOR is sleeping.

[15:20] >> We got to get moving. Somebody just came

[15:22] out.

[15:22] >> The bank pays these foot soldiers about

[15:24] $200 per car.

[15:26] >> The good repos when I get in the car,

[15:28] drive off, and they don't find out about

[15:30] it until morning.

[15:31] >> In bulletproof vests, it's a dirty job.

[15:33] Hours of boredom, then minutes of sheer

[15:35] terror.

[15:36] >> 13:30.

[15:39] Most normal people spend most of their

[15:41] life staying out of confrontations, and

[15:43] the Repo man spends most of his life

[15:45] getting into confrontations.

[15:50] That's the Hollywood spin on it. This

[15:52] 1984 cult comedy portrays a low-life

[15:54] renegade world of repo madness.

[15:57] >> I'm going to be no repo, man. No way.

[15:59] It's too late. You already are.

[16:04] >> By law, in real life, repossessors may

[16:06] not carry firearms. The majority of

[16:09] repossessors out there are businessmen.

[16:11] There are a bunch of very intelligent

[16:12] businessmen with master's degrees. Some

[16:14] of them,

[16:14] >> the only person that likes a repossessor

[16:16] is the finance company.

[16:17] >> The million or so cars and trucks

[16:18] that'll be repoed in America this year

[16:20] involve more than just dead beats and

[16:22] bad debts. Hard times are forcing many

[16:24] people to choose between food for the

[16:26] family and the family car.

[16:29] >> Looking for Herbert Brown.

[16:30] >> In Sacramento, this man made the choice.

[16:33] And I'm here about your 86 Omobile

[16:35] Regency.

[16:36] >> The payment on that thing, take it. It's

[16:39] like I said, it's it's a big load off my

[16:41] back because I was worried how I was

[16:42] going to make the payment this month.

[16:43] Again,

[16:43] >> the job market is poor. Uh their options

[16:46] are not real great and and sometimes I

[16:48] think they think we're doing them a

[16:49] favor.

[16:50] >> I can take care of that late charge for

[16:51] you.

[16:51] >> I can. We have no problem working with

[16:53] you. This year, $66 billion in consumer

[16:56] debt will be turned over for collection,

[16:58] but a boom in repossessions has been

[17:00] stalled by falling car sales and more

[17:02] lenient lenders.

[17:03] >> It isn't our benefit to have the largest

[17:05] car lot in Chicago. It's more in our

[17:07] benefit to have you make the payments

[17:09] and collect on our loan.

[17:12] >> Still, when borrowers go bust, banks

[17:14] recapture some of their loss at huge

[17:15] repo auctions, where bargain hunters bid

[17:17] on the misfortunes of others.

[17:20] >> Honestly, I'm not crazy about what I do.

[17:21] It's not it's not my first choice as to

[17:24] what I didn't as a little boy. I didn't

[17:26] think to myself, "Oh boy, I want to grow

[17:27] up and become a repossessor."

[17:28] Repossession is the very very last

[17:30] resort.

[17:31] >> It's what he calls a legal license to

[17:33] steal. And whether it's Sherlock in a

[17:35] Jaguar

[17:36] >> on that side, it's right here

[17:38] >> or Huck Finn in a tow truck if the

[17:40] unpaid balance is big enough on even

[17:43] this, the repo man will follow some poor

[17:45] souls all the way to the grave.

[17:48] >> Everybody owes money one way or another.

[17:51] in Chicago. I'm Frank Courier for Eye on

[17:53] In America.
