TONIGHT, FEAR OF FLOODING AS A MASSIVE RAIN STORM MOVES UP THE EAST COAST, IT'S ALREADY A KILLER. I'M KATIE COURIC.
ALSO TONIGHT, THEY WERE TARGETED BECAUSE THEY WERE DIFFERENT.
GAY TEENAGERS DRIVEN TO TAKE THEIR OWN LIVES.
SUPERBUGS ON THE RISE, POTENTIALLY DEADLY BACTERIA THAT NO ANTIBIOTIC CAN STOP.
AND IT'S A SPECIAL NIGHT FOR
FRED AND WILMA.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.
FROM CBS NEWS WORLD HEADQUARTERS IN NEW YORK, THIS IS THE "CBS EVENING NEWS" WITH KATIE COURIC.
GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.
AS RAINS STORM IS GO AND THIS ONE IS HUGE AND HANGGING UP THE EAST COAST.
FLOOD WARNINGS AND WATCHES A STED FROM THE CAROLINAS TO THE CANADIAN BORDER, AND THE RAINFALL IS SETTING RECORDS.
WHILE MOST PLACES WILL SEE BETWEEN TWO AND SIX INCHES, SOME WILL GET CLOSE TO A FOOT.
DEAN REYNOLDS IS IN CAROLINA BEACH, NORTH CAROLINA, TONIGHT.
DEAN, THIS STORM IS MAKING IT DANGEROUS ON THE ROADS, AND I KNOW THERE'S BEEN ONE DEADLY CRASH ALREADY.
SADLY THAT'S TRUE, KATIE.
THE FIRST FATALITIES FROM THIS STORM THAT EAST COAST FROM HERE. THE VICTIM'S CAR RAN SLICKED HIGHWAY 64 OVER TWO HOURS EAST OF RALEIGH WHERE IT PLOWED INTO A WATERY DITCH, KILLING FOUR MEMBERS OF A GEORGIA FAMILY.
THE FIRST FATALITIES FROM THIS ENORMOUS STORM THAT ROARED UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD, TURNING ROADS INTO CANALS, PONDS INTO LAKES, AND FRONT PORCHES INTO
DOCKS.
JUST KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT IT DOESN'T COME IN BECAUSE WHEN IT DECIDES TO COME IN, THERE'S NOTHING CAN DO.
THE STORM HAS DROPPED A THIRD OF THE TOTAL ANNUAL RAINFALL IN CAROLINA BEACH IN JUST FIVE DAYS, EXCEEDING EVEN THE INFAMOUS HURRICANE FLOYD IN 1999.
ROBERT STUART LIVES HERE ALONG THE APTLY NAMED CANAL DRIVE WHERE THE WATER SITS RIGHT OUTSIDE HIS DOOR.
HE'S BEEN EMPTYING HIS PUMP ALL
WEEK.
PROBABLY A FIFTH OR SIXTH TIME.
TODAY?
UH-HUH.
TOWN MANAGER TIM OWENS SAID IT'S TOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE RAIN.
I THINK RAIN-WISE IT IS EXTRAORDINARY-- THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT OFTEN.
LOCAL RESIDENTS AGREE.
IT'S CRAZY, I'VE NEVER SEEN THE WATER COME UP LIKE THIS BEFORE, IT'S JUST NUTS.
TO THE NORTH, TWO COMMUTER BUSES COLLIDED AS SHEETS OF RAIN FELL IN MARYLAND, INJURING 26 PEOPLE AND TORNADO WATCHES EXTENDED FROM THE OUTER BANKS TO NEW JERSEY.
THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS IS THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST LONG..
WE SHOULD START TO SEE IMPROVING CONDITIONS BY LATE TOMORROW AND MUCH BETTER FOR THE WEEKEND.
BACK IN CAROLINA BEACH, THEY ARE USING ALL OF THE PUMPS THEY HAVE TO DUMP THE FLOODWATERS INTO THE BEST RECEPTACLE THEY CAN FIND—THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.
KATIE?
DEAN REYNOLDS.
DEAN, THANKS VERY MUCH.
MEANWHILE, THIS WAS A SAD DAY AT RUTGERS UNIVERSITY IN NEW JERSEY.
STUDENTS WARNED A FRESHMAN WHO KILLED HIMSELF AFTER A SECRET VIDEO OF HIS SEXUAL ENCOUNTER WITH ANOTHER YOUNG MAN OF THE POST ONLINE.
TWO CLASSMATES ARE FACING CHARGES.
IN THE LAST MONTHS, AT LEAST FOUR GAY TEENS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN DRIVEN TO TAKE THEIR OWN LIVES.
MORE NOW FROM CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT.
TODAY ON THIS RAIN-SOAKED THURSDAY, THE MOOD AT RUTGERS, GRIM AS THE CAMPUS SKYLINE.
IT'S A SAD SITUATION, I'M SAD THAT IT HAPPENED.
BY ALL ACCOUNTS,
TYLER CLEMENTI, AN 18-YEAR-OLD
FRESH FRESHMAN WAS A GIFTED VIOLINIST, AGOOD-NATURED SOUL WHO DIDN'T HAVE MANY COLLEGE FRIENDS AND KEPT MOSTLY TO HIMSELF.
LAST THURSDAY, AUTHORITIES SAY CLEMENTI COMMITTED SUICIDE, JUMPED FROM THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE, AFTER HIS ROOMMATE SECRETLY STREAMED VIDEO OF HIM KISSING ANOTHER MAN ON THE INTERNET, ALL FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.
UNIVERSITY VISE PRESDENT
I'VE BEEN AN EDUCATOR FOR 36 YEARS WORKING WITH STUDENTS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION.
CLEMENTI'S ROOMMATE, FRESHMAN DHARUN RAVI, AND ANOTHER STUDENT, MOLLY WEI, HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH INVASION OF PRIVACY. BOTH ARE NOW OUT ON BAIL.
IT ALL STARTED WHEN RAVI TWEETED: ROOMMATE ASKED FOR THE ROOM TILL MIDNIGHT. I WENT INTO MOLLY’S ROOM AND TURNED ON MY WEBCAM. I SAW HIM MAKING OUT WITH A DUDE. YAY.
A MESSAGE THAT APPEARS TO BE FROM CLEMENTI WAS SENT OUT ON A GAY COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOARD TWO DAYS LATER. HE SAW ME MAKING OUT WITH A GUY. THE SCHOOL WON’T DO MUCH OF ANYTHING.
CLEMENTI REPORTEDLY TOLD HIS R.A., OR RESIDENTIAL ADVISER, ABOUT THE INCIDENT.
THE UNIVERSITY REFUSES TO SAY WHAT IF ANYTHING WAS DONE WITH THAT INFORMATION.
IN HIS FINAL POSTING, CLEMENTI WROTE ON FACEBOOK: JUMPING OFF THE GW BRIDGE SORRY.
WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU HEARD WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STUDET?
>> SAD, I WAS VERY SAD BY THE STORY.
BECAUSE?
IT'S ANOTHER LOSS OF A YOUNG LIFE.
GIGHTS VOCATE JOE COSCUE SAID CLIMENTI DEATH HIGHLIGHTS THIS A TROUBLING TREND, CYBER-BULLYING AND GAY BASHING LEADING TO TRAGIC OUTCOMES.
JUST IN LAST MONTH, 13-YEAR-OLD ASHER BROWN SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD AFTER HE WAS REPORTEDLY BULLIED.
IN CALIFORNIA, 13-YEAR-OLD SETH WALSH HANGED HIMSELF FROM A TREE IN HIS BACKYARD, AND 15-YEAR-OLD BILLY LUCAS KILLED HIMSELF IN INDIANA, ALL REPORTEDLY OVER RELENTLESS TEASING ABOUT THEIR SEXUALITY.
ACCORDING TO A RECENT SURVEY ON GAY BULLYING, NINE OUT OF 10 GAY AND LESBIAN STUDENT ARE BULLIED AT SCHOOL. 4 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE.
THOSE STATISTICS, STUDENT AT HARVEY MILK HIGH SCHOOL IN MANHATTAN KNOW ALL TOO WELL.
THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY, OPEN PRIMARILY FOR GAY, LESBIAN, AND TRANSGENDER STUDENTS.
>> I THINK PEOPLE GET SCARED AND FEARFUL, AND NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE BORN INTO THAT FEAR BUT BECAUSE IT WAS TAUGHT BY SOCIETY.
TONIGHT, PROSECUTORS SAY THEY WILL INVESTIGATE WHETHER THIS WAS A BIAS CRIME.
KATIE?
BYRON PITTS.
BYRON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE ASK FOR YOUR COMMENT AND QUESTIONS ON TWITTER AND FACEBOOK TODAY. NOBODY DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS KID WAS TREATED. I HOPE THEY GET MAXIMUM PENALTY POSSIBLE. THIS BREAKS MY HEART. WE NEED STRONGER LAWS.
JAN CRAWFORD IN WASHINGTON IS OUR CHIEF LEGAL CORRESPONDENT.
JAN, WHAT KIND OF LAWS AGAINST BULLYING ARE CURRENTLY ON THE BOOKS?
WELL, KATIE, THERE'S NO FEDERAL LAW, BUT 45 STATES DO HAVE LAWS, THE STRONGEST REQUIRE THINGS LIKE ANTI-BULLYING CLASSES IN SCHOOLS, COUNSELING FOR THE VICTIMS, AND REPORTING POTENTIALLY CRIMINAL BULLYING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.
IN THE TRAGIC CASE WHERE A STUDENT IS HURT OR COMMITS SUICIDE, PROSECUTORS CAN FILE CRIMINAL CHARGES.
SO I GUESS THE QUESTION IS ARE THESE LAWS ACTUALLY ENFORCED, JAN?
WELL, WE'VE SEEN RECENT CASES, LIKE ONE IN MASSACHUSETTS, WHERE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH FELONIES.
THERE, A 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL, PHOEBE PRINCE, COMMITTED SUICIDE AFTER SHE WAS BULLIED AND PROSECUTORS HAVE CHARGED ALLEGED PERPETRATORS WITH A RANGE OF CRIMES, INCLUDING STATUTORY RAPE, CRIMINAL HARASSMENT, AND CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.
KATIE.
JAN CRAWFORD, JAN, THANK YOU.
IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAS BEEN BULLIED, cbsnews.com HAS A LIST OF RESOURCES WHERE YOU CAN GET HELP.
NOW TURNING TO THE ECONOMY.
IT'S IRONIC THAT JUST AS MORTGAGE RATE HAVE FALLEN TO THE LOWEST LEVEL ON RECORD, MORE AND MORE AMERICANS ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES.
FORECLOSURES JUMPED NEARLY 5% FROM APRIL TO JUNE THIS YEAR.
CHASE HAS BECOME THE SECOND BANK TO ANNOUNCE A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON REPOSSESSING HOMES.
AND TODAY BILL WHITAKER TELLS US PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY WERE TRYING TO REFINANCE AT THOSE LOWER RATES.
BILL, THEY'RE HOPING TO SAVE THEIR HOMES.
THAT'S RIGHT, KATIE.
TONIGHT, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HERE, SOME FROM AS FAR AWAY AS NEW YORK AND FLORIDA, SEEKING FREE HELP TO MODIFY THEIR LOANS AT LOWER RATES, HOPING TO AVOID FORECLOSURE.
GOOD MORNING.
SOME STOOD IN LINE FOR UP TO SIX HOURS FOR THE CHANCE TO GET HELP TO HOLD ON TO THEIR HOMES.
I HAVE NEVER MISSED A PAYMENT IN SIX YEARS, AND I THINK THEY KNOW THAT, BUT EVERY YEAR MY HOUSE PAYMENT HAS WENT UP.
TWO WEEKS AGO I PUT MY HOUSE IN SHORT SALE AND MAYBE, YOU KNOW, I COULD STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO SAVE MY HOME.
WITH 2.5 MILLION AMERICANS ALREADY PUT OUT OF THEIR HOMES IN THIS RECESSION, AND THREE MILLION MORE ON THE BRINK, THE FORECLOSURE FREEZE BY TWO OF THE COUNTRY'S BIGGEST LENDERS RAISES SERIOUS QUESTIONS WHETHER AMERICANS ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES LEGITIMATELY.
COURTS REQUIRE LENDERS TO VERIFY AND CERTIFY THAT THE HOMEOWNER IS IN DEFAULT.
THESE BANKS SHUFFLED THROUGH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FORECLOSURES IN 23 STATES WITH LITTLE OR NO OVERSIGHT.
56,000 BY J.P. MORGAN CHASE ALONE.
FLORIDA FORECLOSURE ATTORNEY CHRISTOPHER IMMEL SAYS ONE ALLIED BANKER PERSONALLY SIGNED 10,000 FORECLOSURES A MONTH.
ROBO-SIGNERS, HE CALLS THEM, BECAUSE ONE PERSON REVIEWING SO
MUCH PAPER WORK SEEMS HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE.
THEIR GOAL IS JUST TO MOVE THROUGH A FORECLOSURE CASE AS QUICKLY AS THEY CAN.
IT CUTS SHORT DIFFERENT PEOPLE'S OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO GET BACK ON THEIR FEET.
ECONOMISTS SAY BANKS OVERWHELMED BY THE NUMBER OF FORECLOSURES TOOK SHORTCUTS, SHORTCUTS THAT NOW COULD FURTHER DELAY ANY HOUSING
MARKET RECOVERY.
THE WHOLE PROCESS NOW IS GOING TO SLOW DOWN, MAY EVEN COME TO A STANDSTILL FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE COURTS WORK THROUGH IT.
ALREADY IT'S GETTING UGLY OUTTHERE IN SUBURBAN L.A. SWAT TEAM MOVED IN OVERNIGHT TO SUBDUE A MAN BARRICADED IN HIS HOUSE, MAKING THREATS BECAUSE HIS HOUSE HAS GONE INTO FORECLOSURE.
FEAR OF FORECLOSURE HAS ROUGHT
8,000 PEOPLE HERE SO FAR.
THIS WILL BE GOING ON AROUND THE CLOCK, 24 HOURS, THROUGH MONDAY.
KATIE?
BILL WHITAKER REPORTING FROM LOS ANGELES TONIGHT.
BILL, THANK YOU.
IN OTHER NEWS, TOY MAKER FISHER-PRICE IS RECALLING MORE THAN 11 MILLION PRODUCTS IN THE U.S. AND CANADA, INCLUDING TOYS WITH SMALL PIECES THAT ARE A CHOKING HAZARD.
AND TRICYCLES AND HIGH CHAIRS WITH PROTRUDING PIECES THAT CAN CUT A CHILD.
SO FAR, 17 INJURIES HAVE BEEN
REPORTED.
OVERSEAS THERE'S A POTENTIAL STANDOFF BETWEEN THE U.S. AND A
KEY ALLY IN THE WAR ON TERROR. PAKISTAN TODAY CLOSED AN IMPORTANT BORDER CROSSING FOR TRUCKS THAT SUPPLY COALITION
FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN.
IT WAS A RETALIATION FOR A NATO HELICOPTER ATTACK INSIDE PAKISTAN IN WHICH THREE PAKISTANI SOLDIERS WERE KILLED BY MISTAKE.
IN WASHINGTON, A CHANGE OF TONE IS COMING TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE WORST-KEPT SECRET IN TOWN, PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL ANNOUNCE TOMORROW THAT CHIEF OF STAFF RA ES KING HIS BRASH, COMBATIVE STYLE HOME TO CHICAGO TO RUN FOR MAYOR.
HE'LL BE REPLACED, AT LEAST TEMPORARILY, BY THE MORE MILD-MANNERED PETE ROUSE, WHO WAS MR.OBAMA'S CHIEF OF STAFF IN THE SENATE.
AND STILL AHEAD HERE ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS: REMEMBERING A KID FROM THE BRONX WHO BECAME A STAR.
BUT UP NEXT, THE UNSEEN RISK AT THE HOSPITAL: A DEADLY NEW CLASS OF SUPERBUGS.
AMERICA'S HOSPITALS ARE PLACES OF HEALING AND HOPE, BUT THEY'RE ALSO HOME TO A GROWING THREAT.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF M.R.S.A., A DANGEROUS INFECTION THAT CAN USUALLY BE TREATED WITH ANTIBIOTICS.
BUT NOW AN INCREASING NUMBER OF PATIENTS ARE BEING INFECTED WITH A NEW CLASS OF SUPERBUGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO TREAT.
TONIGHT, THE HUMAN TOLL THESE DEADLY INFECTIONS ARE TAKING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG.
IT'S SO NOT FAIR.
IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT THING TO SWALLOW.
JACKIE CASH AND HER SISTERS, KATIE AND MORA WEREN'T WORRIED WHEN THEIR 78-YEAR-OLD FATHER BILL CHECKED INTO THIS NEW YORK HOSPITAL EARLIER THIS MONTH WITH A HIGHLY TREATABLE FORM OF PNEUMONIA.
BUT NOW THIS ONCE-HEALTHY, ACTIVE MAN IS CLINGING TO LIFE AFTER HE GOT AN INFECTION THAT'S RESISTED EVERYTHING THE DOCTORS HAVE THROWN AT IT.
YOU REALIZE, OH, MY GOD!
THERE MAY NOT BE SOMETHING OUT THERE THAT CAN ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, FIX THIS, AND THAT IS A HORRENDOUS REALIZATION.
THE ORGANISM RAGING THROUGH BILL SHIELDS IS CALLED K.P.C. KLEBSIELLA, ONE OF THE FIVE DEAD SUPERBUGS TURNING UP IN AMERICA'S HOSPITALS WITH ALARMING FREQUENCY. NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR 60% OF I.C.U. INFECTIONS.
WHAT THESE ORGANISMS HAVE DONE BY CREATING ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE HAS SENT MEDICINE BACK 70 YEARS IN TIME.
BRAD SPELLBERG IS AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE DOCTOR AND AUTHOR OF "RISING PLAGUE."
THERE ARE INCREASING CASES INFECTIONS CAUSED BY BACTERIA
THAT ARE RESISTANT TO EVERY F.D.A.-APPROVED ANTIBIOTIC AND WE HAVE NO TREATMENT.
THE PARTICULARLY VICIOUS KLEBSIELLA FIRST REPORTED TEN YEARS AGO IN ONE HOSPITAL IN ONE STATE HAS NOW BEEN FOUND IN HOSPITALS IN 35 STATES.
A LOT OF WHAT WE DO IS BASIC DETECTIVE WORK.
AT THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL ARJUN SRINIVASAN TRACKS THESE LETHAL SUPERBUGS.
I THINK THE MOST COMMON URAT WE SEE FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF THESE TYPES OF ORGANISMS ARE THE HANDS OF HEALTH CARE PERSONNEL.
THESE BACTERIA CAN LIVE FOR YEARS ON HOSPITAL SURFACES, ENTERING THE BODY THROUGH OPEN WOUNDS, CATHETERS.
OUAPATIENT SURGICAL CENTERS ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE.
A RECENT STUDY FOUND MORE THAN HALF DIDN'T PRACTICE NECESSARY
INFECTION CONTROL THROUGH HAND WASHING AND STERILIZATION.
IT WAS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE.
KACIA WARREN'S 67-YEAR-OLD MOTHER RUTH GOT A SUPERBUG AT THIS OUTPATIENT CLINIC IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, WHERE SHE WENT FOR A PINCHED NERVE IN HER BACK.
BUT JUST DAYS AFTER SURGERY, SHE BECAME INFECTED BY AN INFECTION USUALLY ONLY FOUND IN BATTLEFIELD HOSPITALS.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM GOING THROUGH ELECTIVE SURGERY GOT THIS SUPERBUG?
SOMEBODY HAD TO HAVE TOUCHED
SOMETHING IN THAT ROOM THAT CONTAINED THAT LIVE BACTERIA.
AND SHE GOT THOBY, WITHIN HER BODY.
SHE DIDN'T GO IN THERE WITH IT.
17 DAYS AFTER HER SURGERY, RUTH BURNS WAS DEAD.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN SO IMPOSSIBLE FOY YOU TO BELIEVE THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO YOUR HEALTHY MOM.
ABSOLUTELY.
DEVASTATING.
DEVASTATING.
SHE WAS TEN DAYS AWAY FROM RETIREMENT.
HAPPIEST CHAPTER OF HER LIFE.
AND WOULD NEVER HAVE ONE DAY TO ENJOY.
HOW DO WE GET TO THIS POINT?
FOR MANY YEARS, WE ALWAYS HAD RESISTANCE WITH THIS.
BUT FOR YEARS, WHENEVER IT CAUGHT UP, THE DRUG COMPANIES WOULD JUST COME OUT WITH THE NEXT GENERATION OF ANTIBIOTIC AND THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED.
WE'RE NO LONGER GETTING BAILED OUT WITH NEW ANTIBIOTIC DEVELOPMENT.
AND FAMILIES, LIKE BILL SHIELDS', ARE PAYING THE PRICE.
SEEING MY DAD ON A VENTILATOR IS JUST-- IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT THING.
OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW ARE VERY, VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHERE THEY ASK US GO.
IT'S ESTIMATED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM THESE SUPERBUGS EVERY YEAR, BUT ONLY HALF THE STATES REQUIRE HOSPITALS TO RERORT INFECTION RATES.
SO PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS FEAR THE NUMBER MAY BE EVEN HIGHER.
JIMMY CARTER, MEANWHILE, GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL TODAY AFTER BEING THERE TWO DAYS FOR A VIRAL
INFECTION.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT TURNS 86
TOMORROW, SO WE WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
LIGHTNING MAY NEVER STIKE THE SAME PLACE.
YOU CAN STRIKE IT RICH TWICE.
JUST ASK ERNEST PULLEN OF BONNE TERRE, MISSOURI. IN JUNE HE WON A MILLION DOLLARS
IN A SCRATCH-OFF LOTTERY GAME.
THIS MONTH HE WON ANOTHER WITH A $2 MILLION PRIZE.
PULLEN, WHO IS 57, SAID HE ONCE
DREAMED OF WINNING A JACKPOT, SO SOMETIMES DREAMS DO COME TRUE, SOMETIMES TWICE.
BERNIE SCHWARTZ DIDN'T SEEM DESTINED FOR GOOD FORTUNE.
A CHILD OF THE DEPRESSION HE GOT CAUGHT UP IN GANG VIOLENCE AND WAS THE TARGET OF ANTI-SEMITISM.
THEN HE FOUND HIS CALLING AND A NEW NAME. TONY CURTIS.
LONG ONE OF HOLLOOW STARS, CURTIS DIED LAST NIGHT OF CARDIC ARREST. JIM AXELROD HAS HIS STORY.
PERHAPS NO ONE ENJOYED BEING A HOLLYWOOD HEARTTHROB MORE THAN TONY CURTIS, RIGHT UP TO THE END.
>> I HAD ALL THAT DARK HAIR AND BLUE EYES, A NICE FIGURE, JUMPING AROUND.
I MEAN, HOW COULD YOU NOT GO FOR ME?
I EVEN WENT FOR ME.
HE SHOOK OFF PRETTY BOY ROLES TO BECOME A RESPECTED ACTOR STARTING WITH "SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS." IN 1957.
AND HE WAS A NOBLE SLAVE IN "SPARTACUS," AND WON AN OSCAR NOMINATION AS A WHITE RACIST HANDCUFFED TO SIDNEY PORTIER IN "THE DEFIANT ONES."
BORN BERNIE SCHWARTZ IN THE BRONX, TONY CURT WAS MARRIED SIX TIMES.
JANET LEIGH WAS HIS FIRST WIFE, ACTRESS JAMIE LEE CURTIS, HIS DAUGHTER.THIS NOTORIOUS LADIES' MAN MAY HAVE HAD HIS BIGGEST HIT DISGUISED AS A WOMAN IN "SOME LIKE IT HOT" OPPOSITE JACK LEMON AND MARILYN MONROE.
AS CURAG A THE FILM ROLES DRIED UP, HE BATHED DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.
BUT HE FOUND NEW SUCCESS AS A PAINTER.
IT'S SO MOVING FOR ME.
AND, YOU KNOW, I'VE BECOME, PERHAPS, A HOUSEHOLD WORD IN A
WAY.
I'VE BECOME PART OF EVERYBODY'S MEMORY.
TONY CURTIS WAS 85.
JIM AXELROD, CBS NEWS, NEW YORK.
ALSO TONIGHT, THEY WERE TARGETED BECAUSE THEY WERE DIFFERENT.
GAY TEENAGERS DRIVEN TO TAKE THEIR OWN LIVES.

AT THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL ARJUN SRINIVASAN TRACKS THESE LETHAL SUPERBUGS.
I THINK THE MOST COMMON URAT WE SEE FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF THESE TYPES OF ORGANISMS ARE THE HANDS OF HEALTH CARE PERSONNEL.
THESE BACTERIA CAN LIVE FOR YEARS ON HOSPITAL SURFACES, ENTERING THE BODY THROUGH OPEN WOUNDS, CATHETERS.
OUAPATIENT SURGICAL CENTERS ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE.
A RECENT STUDY FOUND MORE THAN HALF DIDN'T PRACTICE NECESSARY
INFECTION CONTROL THROUGH HAND WASHING AND STERILIZATION.
IT WAS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE.
KACIA WARREN'S 67-YEAR-OLD MOTHER RUTH GOT A SUPERBUG AT THIS OUTPATIENT CLINIC IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, WHERE SHE WENT FOR A PINCHED NERVE IN HER BACK.
BUT JUST DAYS AFTER SURGERY, SHE BECAME INFECTED BY AN INFECTION USUALLY ONLY FOUND IN BATTLEFIELD HOSPITALS.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM GOING THROUGH ELECTIVE SURGERY GOT THIS SUPERBUG?
SOMEBODY HAD TO HAVE TOUCHED
SOMETHING IN THAT ROOM THAT CONTAINED THAT LIVE BACTERIA.
AND SHE GOT THOBY, WITHIN HER BODY.
SHE DIDN'T GO IN THERE WITH IT.
17 DAYS AFTER HER SURGERY, RUTH BURNS WAS DEAD.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN SO IMPOSSIBLE FOY YOU TO BELIEVE THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO YOUR HEALTHY MOM.
ABSOLUTELY.
DEVASTATING.
DEVASTATING.
SHE WAS TEN DAYS AWAY FROM RETIREMENT.
HAPPIEST CHAPTER OF HER LIFE.
AND WOULD NEVER HAVE ONE DAY TO ENJOY.
HOW DO WE GET TO THIS POINT?
FOR MANY YEARS, WE ALWAYS HAD RESISTANCE WITH THIS.
BUT FOR YEARS, WHENEVER IT CAUGHT UP, THE DRUG COMPANIES WOULD JUST COME OUT WITH THE NEXT GENERATION OF ANTIBIOTIC AND THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED.
WE'RE NO LONGER GETTING BAILED OUT WITH NEW ANTIBIOTIC DEVELOPMENT.
AND FAMILIES, LIKE BILL SHIELDS', ARE PAYING THE PRICE.
SEEING MY DAD ON A VENTILATOR IS JUST-- IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT THING.
OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW ARE VERY, VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHERE THEY ASK US GO.
IT'S ESTIMATED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM THESE SUPERBUGS EVERY YEAR, BUT ONLY HALF THE STATES REQUIRE HOSPITALS TO RERORT INFECTION RATES.
SO PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS FEAR THE NUMBER MAY BE EVEN HIGHER.
JIMMY CARTER, MEANWHILE, GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL TODAY AFTER BEING THERE TWO DAYS FOR A VIRAL
INFECTION.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT TURNS 86
TOMORROW, SO WE WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
LIGHTNING MAY NEVER STIKE THE SAME PLACE.
YOU CAN STRIKE IT RICH TWICE.
JUST ASK ERNEST PULLEN OF BONNE TERRE, MISSOURI. IN JUNE HE WON A MILLION DOLLARS
IN A SCRATCH-OFF LOTTERY GAME.
THIS MONTH HE WON ANOTHER WITH A $2 MILLION PRIZE.
PULLEN, WHO IS 57, SAID HE ONCE
DREAMED OF WINNING A JACKPOT, SO SOMETIMES DREAMS DO COME TRUE, SOMETIMES TWICE.
BERNIE SCHWARTZ DIDN'T SEEM DESTINED FOR GOOD FORTUNE.
A CHILD OF THE DEPRESSION HE GOT CAUGHT UP IN GANG VIOLENCE AND WAS THE TARGET OF ANTI-SEMITISM.
THEN HE FOUND HIS CALLING AND A NEW NAME. TONY CURTIS.
LONG ONE OF HOLLOOW STARS, CURTIS DIED LAST NIGHT OF CARDIC ARREST. JIM AXELROD HAS HIS STORY.
PERHAPS NO ONE ENJOYED BEING A HOLLYWOOD HEARTTHROB MORE THAN TONY CURTIS, RIGHT UP TO THE END.
>> I HAD ALL THAT DARK HAIR AND BLUE EYES, A NICE FIGURE, JUMPING AROUND.
I MEAN, HOW COULD YOU NOT GO FOR ME?
I EVEN WENT FOR ME.
HE SHOOK OFF PRETTY BOY ROLES TO BECOME A RESPECTED ACTOR STARTING WITH "SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS." IN 1957.
AND HE WAS A NOBLE SLAVE IN "SPARTACUS," AND WON AN OSCAR NOMINATION AS A WHITE RACIST HANDCUFFED TO SIDNEY PORTIER IN "THE DEFIANT ONES."
BORN BERNIE SCHWARTZ IN THE BRONX, TONY CURT WAS MARRIED SIX TIMES.
JANET LEIGH WAS HIS FIRST WIFE, ACTRESS JAMIE LEE CURTIS, HIS DAUGHTER.THIS NOTORIOUS LADIES' MAN MAY HAVE HAD HIS BIGGEST HIT DISGUISED AS A WOMAN IN "SOME LIKE IT HOT" OPPOSITE JACK LEMON AND MARILYN MONROE.
AS CURAG A THE FILM ROLES DRIED UP, HE BATHED DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.
BUT HE FOUND NEW SUCCESS AS A PAINTER.
IT'S SO MOVING FOR ME.
AND, YOU KNOW, I'VE BECOME, PERHAPS, A HOUSEHOLD WORD IN A
WAY.
I'VE BECOME PART OF EVERYBODY'S MEMORY.
TONY CURTIS WAS 85.
