fours Roy Rattan and set sail with a blue ghost starting Tuesday on news four
at 10 it began in 1959 and by the time it was over in April of 75 millions of
Americans had served in Vietnam more than 55,000 never returned for those who
did there were no parades no cheering crowds no hands extended to say thank

salute those who fought this bitter war join mayor Henry says General William
Westmoreland and organizer John Baines for Hill 881 the unveiling of San
Antonio's Vietnam Memorial Sunday 2 p.m. live on Channel 4
this is news for San Antonio the weekend report good evening nobody said it would
be easy officer Chris Blowers knew that when he decided to go into law
enforcement he knew that there would come a time when he would have to depend
on his training and his cool to stay alive for him that time was last night
Dan Locke has his story they are trained to always be cautious and on this Friday
night last April officer Butch Majecha was approaching the van just as he was
trained to do as it turns out there was nothing to worry about but the cop never
knows what he's getting into when he walks up beside a car this officer Chris
Blowers found out last night Blowers had been called to investigate a suspicious
person in this blue truck on the east side he told police officials that as he
neared the driver's door a man opened the door and raised a semi-automatic rifle
Blowers backed up and opened fire five shots people in the neighborhood came
running out their doors one more policeman had arrived and he told him I
had to shoot him he said he had to shoot the man he pulled a rifle that's exactly
what he said the man in the truck was identified as William Chelmers of
Lewisburg Pennsylvania as it turned out he was wanted in Pennsylvania and
connection with an attempted murder and Pennsylvania wanted him extradited but
he died before he even reached the hospital he handled himself especially
to me after years of controversy following the shooting deaths of Michael
Haskins and officer Stephen Smith this one seemed remarkably clean at least at
this point it appears that this is one shooting that isn't going to end up
leaving a stain on the San Antonio Police Department Dan Locke news for San
Antonio a 32 year old San Antonio man traveling with a Baptist Church group
was arrested early today the man was on a flight from San Antonio to Houston and
that's where he was arrested authorities said the man apparently drunk was
detained for threatening to blow up the plane witnesses said he made the threats
when a flight attendant refused to serve him a drink and the White House still
refusing comment tonight on reports that it began secret contacts with Iran 18
months ago all in an effort to free American hostages in Lebanon the reports
say Iran got shipments of US military equipment through Israeli intermediaries
we get more from Robin Lloyd the administration blackout on the secret
effort to win the release of the hostages continue today CIA director
William Casey refused to answer questions about what role he may have
played in the covert program I have no comments to make I'm here to make a talk
sources say White House officials decided to run this operation on their
own bypassing the CIA the State Department in the Pentagon in an effort
to avoid leaks in congressional scrutiny and top officials in all three
departments say they're furious that they weren't consulted some outside the
government questioned whether it was even legal former CIA director
Stansfield Turner way the National Security Council should not be out doing
operational things they're doing it because the president is skirting the
law there is a law that says if the CIA were doing this it would have to inform
the Congress but sources say the president decided to go ahead with a
plan at the urging of National Security Advisor John Poindexter and CIA
director William Casey who argued it was the only way to free the hostages the
plan had already proved successful in gaining the release of Reverend Benjamin
Weir it worked again with Reverend Lawrence Janko and most recently with
David Jacobson the president seemed to say yesterday that the operation should
continue until quote we get all the hostages back but sources involved in
the covert plan told NBC News today that the publicity and controversy already
have come very close to quote killing the initiative White House officials
insist they've done nothing illegal but even within the administration top
officials are pointing out the contradictions in US policy said one
official we're now telling terrorists that they can get things from the United
States and that we will deal Robin Lloyd NBC News at the White House
meanwhile here at home bands floats and veterans all were assembled today for
the marking of the annual Veterans Day parade veterans from World War one
through the Vietnam War joined in the 40 unit procession a piece of history past
and present captured by photographer Pete Coyote
very important remember where we came from then we'll know where we're going
we have to remember and appreciate what those brothers did for us and for our
country if we don't take care of the people who have made this country what
it is today we're not much of a country recall a lot of incidents that I went
through and there were some good ones and some bad ones and left a lot of my
friends behind recalling a lot of memories and again in battlefields you
know it's a sad thing to see some people not coming back but again you're happy
that you were the one that came back
and in Universal City today the parades continued it was the 16th year for the
greater Randolph area Veterans Council to bring this patriotic event to the
community the council invited area schools businesses and various
organizations to dress up and join in the festivities

reports vets have been gathering at McAllister Park camping out until
tomorrow catching up on old friendships and making new ones the vet is asleep
but he's part of an issue that's now fully awakened the Vietnam experience
that's from all over Texas Colorado and other states set up camp at what they're
calling a firebase that's the same term used during the war they fought for the
bases they set up to fight it it was like being with your family you know the
men you served with slept with them ate with them you know fought next to them
the war wounds go further than the obvious the firebase providing a forum
to laugh relax and try to mend the psychological scars that have affected
many if there's a message to all this it's welcome home bet and that it's okay
to share the experiences of a very unpopular war and apparently that
message is being heard more and more as more and more vets join the ranks of
these vets this is the first time San Antonio Vietnam veteran Colin Wynn has
ever joined a group of vets like himself through such acts as this Vietnam
veterans getting together and reaching out people are taking notice you know
that hey we're for real you know the Alamo area Vietnam veterans coordinated
firebase and vets will be in full force tomorrow for the memorial dedication a
company in them will be Ophelia Garcia mother of a soldier missing in action

record-breaking number of voters 1012 of them showed up to cast their ballots
848 votes passed the bond issue there were 164 no votes Jeff Duffield the
information officer for the district says 45 million dollars might seem like
a lot but that will buy two new elementary schools a new junior high a
new ninth and tenth grade high school an indoor swimming complex an alternative
school complex plus some additions to the existing Judson high school building
officials say Judson is the fastest growing school district in our area well
some wise shoppers turned out today for some early Christmas shopping at a
special bazaar over at the Salvation Army Peacock Center this annual
Christmas bazaar features items handmade by the ladies of the Salvation Army
Home League it is the world's largest women's organization locally the group
sells handmade items for nursing homes in town this particular group is assigned
to the four nursing homes that are what we consider to be the most needy and
monthly we take them birthday gifts and we make lap robes bibs and other
items that are normally needed in a nursing home Mrs. Montgomery says funds
raised today will be used to buy supplies for more nursing home gifts and
although the bazaar was for today only the league is taking Christmas orders
for their custom-made quilts some good deals to me indeed and those beautiful
quilts are very handy right now since it's getting colder with a very weak
cool front move through about six o'clock today it's kind of weak but
there's a couple of more coming and we're gonna see temperatures going down
into the 40s

reason it's one of the highest quality batteries made today it's at a low
Walmart price of just 3784 and that's not on sale that's whenever you need it
the Omega 5 produces a powerful 525 cold cranking amps of raw power it keeps your
vehicle going 60 months or more in any weather Walmart guarantees it so get the

from Lufkin up through Shreveport and then swings up into Mississippi heavy
thunderstorms occurring along this frontal system as we get into Tennessee
and Kentucky ahead of the front a lot of record high temperatures today
throughout Georgia and Alabama and South Carolina but behind that frontal system
very cold temperatures up in the northern plains they have blizzard
conditions up in portions of North Dakota with the wind chill factor causing a
minus 30 minus 20 degree wind chill right now not the place to be a
winter storm warning in effect for South Carolina or rather South Dakota over into
Wisconsin also Minnesota a tornado watch remains in effect for this portion which
is the southeastern corner of Arkansas into the northern portion of Louisiana
and over in the Mississippi as the front slowly pushes across the northern tier
of the southern states at the same time this frontal system is going to swing
on to through San Antonio late tonight and by early morning it'll push on
through San Antonio bring in some cooler air you can see where all the snow is
presently falling right now of course up in the northern portion of North Dakota
some snow reported in the ski areas of northern Utah so that's good news for
you skiers and some snow all the way up into Montana clear skies for New Mexico
right now and we're expecting some heavy fog for central South Texas tomorrow
morning including the San Antonio area especially the Hill Country as this front
pushes on through goes down to the Gulf area and then this other front pushes
down now let's take a look at the forecast because here's where the cold
weather comes in tonight cloudy skies a low of 62 degrees and as I mentioned
some heavy fog expected in the morning when you wake up tomorrow afternoon
partly sunny to sunny skies with a high about 74 and then Monday morning the
temperature as far as a low 50 and 74 a high on Tuesday we're expecting the
temperatures be a lot colder 45 for San Antonio and then by Wednesday we could
even see 42 degrees and a lot colder for the Hill Country but still no freeze in
the forecast so cold weather is definitely on its way that's great we've
been ready for it thank you Bill and the Spurs limping home yeah that's the good

ends Sarah once in Chevrolet two blocks north of Loop 410 on Bandera Road but
you really can't blame the Spurs for getting blown out tonight they've played
four games in five nights in four different cities all that traveling makes
for a tired basketball team thus you gotta expect some big losses in
situations like this Spurs coach Bob Weiss pleading with the refs to give his
team a break against Indiana the Spurs though really didn't need any breaks in
the early going Johnny Moore up court to a streaking Alvin Robertson who goes in
for the jam but after that it was all Indiana David Greenwood misses the
jumper here Vern Fleming grabs the rebound and brings the ball up the floor
nice pass coming up here to Herb Williams he'll stop it and Indiana is in high
gear here's another fast break Walker Russell up court the ball goes to Wayman
Tisdale who puts down the monster jam Indiana led by 11 points at halftime

LA 27 25 the Clippers in the first quarter and Seattle with a six-point
lead over the Knicks in the second quarter the Bowl scouts were out in
full force this afternoon in Waco Baylor hosted Arkansas both teams with good
records but not good enough at this point to warrant a trip to the Cotton
Bowl so chances are they'll go to another bowl the Baylor Bear was moping
around in the early going that's because Arkansas took a 14 to 6 lead in the
second quarter Greg Thomas gets the ball to Joe Johnson who goes 38 yards for the
touchdown the hogs one up with a 14 to 12 lead at halftime we moved to the
fourth quarter now Bears on top 15 14 freshman Jeffrey Murray takes it in that
put Baylor up 22 14 and the Razorbacks could feel the game getting out of hand
a little later it's Cody Carlson pitching the ball back to Derek McAdoo
he'll go 33 yards for the touchdown Baylor scored 17 unanswered points in
the fourth quarter and that made for a very happy bear file 29 14 Baylor over
Arkansas the two teams are now tied with Texas Tech for second place in the
Southwest Conference the Longhorns pound Houston final there was 30 to 10 Texas
Tech knocks off TCU 36 14 the Red Raiders are assured of their first winning season

yards through the air the Canes also got some points out of their special teams
David Kinty fields the punt follows his blockers heads down the sideline here and
goes 67 yards for the touchdown that score right before halftime Miami led 14
to 3 then third quarter Testaverde pads his stats he connects with Michael Urban
on a 23 yarder Miami extends its regular season winning streak to 19 games final
this afternoon 37 to 10 Miami over Pittsburgh the Hurricanes are now a
perfect 9-0 on this season so was Penn State today the Nittany Lions got by
Maryland 1715 Michigan is also 9-0 today the Wolverines whip Purdue 31 7 the
final there and look at that score that's sad 77 nothing Oklahoma over

Herschel Walker Dorsett re-injured his left knee yesterday during practice he's
listed as probable for the Raider game however Walker is questionable he hasn't
practiced all week after spraining his ankle against the Giants last Sunday it
won't be known until game time whether the two will see any action well you can
stop calling me Randy Dandy instead how about even Steven the last three weeks
the Dandies have split two wins two losses it gets frustrating after a while
when you keep coming up with average weeks so we're gonna switch gears and
have a week to remember game one Buffalo against Pittsburgh the Bills have a new
head coach they fired Hank Bullough and hired Marv Levy that should spark the
team to life take the Bills and give up the one point game two Minnesota at
Detroit the Vikings have lost their last two games but they're still a good team
they've beaten the Bears the 49ers and last week they almost knocked off the
Redskins at RFK Stadium they're one of the most improved teams in the NFL they
should handle the Lions game three Houston and Cincinnati the Oilers
continue to lose game after game they've dropped eight straight however this will
be the week they snap the streak go with Houston in the dome and of course be
sure to take the four points it's a bonus that surely can't hurt game for
the Raiders against the Cowboys Dallas favored by a field goal of course the
pokes are without Danny White Herschel Walker may not play same goes for Tony
Dorsett that should make for a close tight contest so take the Raiders and
the three points quickly last week's results told you two and two season
