Good afternoon. From CBS News, this is Newsbreak. President Clinton says business merger mania
needs to be looked at and may or may not be good for consumers. Russia's parliament finally

wetness, and it can be rough on delicate skin. Pamper's baby dry can help. It turns the blue
liquid clear as it lowers the pH and helps keep skin dry and healthy by pulling wetness
away. Pediatricians know it's important to control pH, and more of them recommend Pampers.
Help protect their skin from wetness with Pampers baby dry. Pamper the skin they're in.

your home to theft on Extra? Tribeca, which is located in lower Manhattan, is one of New
York's oldest and most mysterious neighborhoods. Did you know that Tribeca stands for triangle
below canal? I love coming to this neighborhood, and I love to spend a day here exploring the
trendy restaurants, the eclectic mix of antique stores, and unusual places like Bendheim Glass.
Today we're going to visit my favorite places. On North Moore Street at Hudson in Tribeca
is a store called S.A. Bendheim. It looks small from the outside, but inside is the most amazing
collection of all kinds of glass. And in this room where I am with Steven Jason, one of
the three brothers, three owners of S.A. Bendheim, is the architectural glass department. I want
you to describe all these glasses to us, because I don't think anybody's ever seen so many
different kinds of glass in one place. Well, I think you're probably right. At Bendheim,
we stock well over 2,000 different types of specialty glasses. These glasses are assembled
from factories all over the world. S.A. Bendheim was our grandfather. Our grandfather and grandmother
started the business, and actually our great grandfather was in the glass business back
in Europe. And so my granddad came over here to this country and really wanted to open
up a glass business, and so he did in the 1920s. Our father joined the firm in the 1950s,
and since that time... That's Fred. That's Fred Jason. He's since retired, and my brothers
and I now run the operation. Well, what are these? This rack over here, this is Lambert's
German antique glass. This is a mouth-blown glass. It's made the same way that old window
glass has been made at the end of a blowpipe. Each sheet is actually crafted by three people.
I'm sure many of us don't realize that the round object that comes from the end of a
blowpipe then can be flattened out and made into glass. Most people have no concept as
to how that can really happen, and we invite you to come to the factory perhaps in the
future to show you how that really happens. But what we're showing over here, these are
just some clear Lambert's antique glass, and the clear glasses come in different patterns
or different seediness. We refer to the bubbles in antique glass as a seed. Originally, the
seeds were produced by taking a potato and driving it down to the bottom of the vat of
glass, and the potato would erupt and create these bubbles. Oh, and what about the potato
itself? Would it get into the glass or not? The potato itself would just...
