TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH".
BUDGET BATTLES. THE PRESIDENT
CALLS ON CONGRESS TO FIND A WAY
TO BALANCE THE BUDGET AND AVOID
DEVASTATING CUTS.
PLUS NEW EVIDENCE IN THE
NEWTOWN MASSACRE. AUTHORITIES
FIND A PILE OF VIDEO GAMES IN
THE SHOOTER'S HOME.
AND ESCAPE AND HOW THESE
REFUGEES ARE FLEEING SYRIA AND
THE CHRISTIANS THAT ARE HELPING
THEM TO STAY ALIVE. ALL THIS
TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH".
GOOD EVENING. I AM MARK
MARTIN.
AND I AM WENDY GRIFFITH.
AND
BUDGET IS SLASHED ACROSS THE
BOARD AND THAT IS UNLESS THE
PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS WORK ON
THE DEFICIT.
BUT AS JENNIFER EXPLAINS LAW
MAKERS HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS HOW
TO ACHIEVE SAVINGS.
AMERICA'S BELOVED FIRST
RESPONDERS ARE THE TYPE OF
WORKERS MAY LOSE THEIR JOBS AND
ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE EFFECT.
BORDER CONTROL AGENTS WILL
FIND THEIR HOURS REFUSED. FBI
AGENTS FURLOUGHED.
THOUSANDS OF PARENTS WILL
HAVE TO SCRAMBLE TO FIND CHILD
CARE FOR THEIR KIDS. PRESIDENT
OBAMA SUGGESTED THAT MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS ARE BEHAVING LIKE
BUTCHERS.
IF CONGRESS ALLOWS THIS MEAT
CLEAVER APPROACH TO TAKE PLACE
IT WILL JEOPARDIZE OUR MILITARY
READINESS AND MEDICAL RESEARCH.
MANY LEADERS WARN THE
AUTOMATIC CUTS ARE TOO SEVERE
FOR THE FRAGILE ECONOMY TO WITH
STAND. HOW TO AVOID IT IS
PURELY POLITICAL.
CONTROVERSIAL
OVER THE CUTS COMES DOWN TO ONE
THING: TAXES. PRESIDENT OBAMA
WANTS THE GOP LEADERS TO RAISE
IT BUT THEY SAID HE GOT THE
NEGOTIATIONS HE WANTED OVER THE
FISCAL
CLIFF. JOHN BOEHNER SAYS THAT
TIME IS OVER. CONGRESS WON'T
BE
IN SESSION UNTIL NEXT WEEKDAYS
BEFORE THE SPENDING CUT ARE
SCHEDULED TO TAKE EFFECT.
BRIEF
NEWS, THE WHITE HOUSE.
WE ARE JOINED BY SETON AND
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I
APPRECIATE IT.
WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THE
SEQUFTURE AT THIS POINT? IS
THERE ANY SIGN OF A COMPROMISE
BETWEEN THE WHITE HOUSE AND
CONGRESS?
PRESIDENT OBAMA CAMPAIGNED
ON
THE TAX INCREASES. HE HAS
GOTTEN THOSE. NOW HE'S CREATED
ANOTHER ARTIFICIAL IMPEDIMENT
TO
PROGRESS AND MANUFACTURED
COORDINATE CRISIS AND WE NEED
ANOTHER ONE TO CLOSE THE GAP
BUT
NOW HE HAS CREATED THIS
IMPEDIMENT. HE DOESN'T WANT IT
TO STOP THERE ARE TWO PORTIONS
OF IT. ONE IS DEFENSE CUTS
WHICH IS WHAT HE WANTS AND WHY
HE IS APPOINTED CHUCK HAGEL AS
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND IT'S
OUT OF TRILLION DOLLAR BUDGET.
IT'S NOTHING. IT'S BARELY
NOTICEABLE. IT'S WHAT THEY
SPEND ON POST IT NOTES AT
COMMERCE SO TO SAY THIS IS
DEVASTATING IS WRONG. HE'S
TRYING TO BLAME REPUBLICANS FOR
IT BUT IN REALITY IT CAME FROM
HIS
OFFICE AND IT DOES NOTHING AND
THEY WILL CUT THE SPENDING AND
NOBODY WILL NOTICE EXCEPT WHEN
IT COMES TO THE DEFICIT WHICH
WILL GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT AFTER
THE CUTS.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK THE END
GAME IS? IS THIS A SET UP TO
MAKE THE REPUBLICANS LOOK BAD?
YES. HE IS NOT GOVERNING TO
GOVERN. HE IS GOVERNING TO
SPLIT THE REPUBLICANS ON THE
ROCKS. TOO OFTEN THE
REPUBLICANS ASSIST HIM IN
STEERING IN THAT DIRECTION BUT
RIGHT NOW WHETHER THE OBJECTIVE
IS IMMIGRATION OR THE TAX
INCREASES IS FOR THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY TO FIGHT AMONGST
THEMSELVES AND HAVE DIVISION IN
CREATING ENOUGH MOIL IN THE
PARTY AND LOSE CONTROL OF THE
HOUSE.
INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT.
GAS PRICES ARE AT A FOUR
MONTH HIGH AFTER 32 STRAIGHT
DAYS. THE AVERAGE FOR A GALLON
OF GAS IS NOW $3.72.
IF YOU HAVE FILLED UP YOUR
CAR LATELY YOU NOTICED THAT THE
PRICE KEEPS GOING UP.
IT JUMPS ALMOST EVERY TWO
DAYS IT SEEMS LIKE.
I'M AT 64. IT USUALLY TAKES
ME 50 BUCKS TO BILL UP.
EXPERTS SAY THE END IS NOT
IN
SIGHT YET.
IT WILL BE AT LEAST A COUPLE
MORE MONTHS BEFORE IT'S
NORMAL.
THEY BLAME IT ON A COUPLE OF
THINGS AND REFINERIES CLOSING
AND THE INCREASE FOR DEMANDS OF
GAS. ANOTHER REASON CRUDE OIL
PRICES ARE UP. CANADA'S
AMBASSADOR TO THE U.S. POINTED
OUT THEY HAVE A SURPLUS OF OIL
AND IF WE APPROVE THE KEYSTONE
PIPELINE IT WILL HAVE THE
DEMAND
.
HE'S A LOGICAL RATIONAL
PERSON. I BELIEVE HAVING ALL
OF
THESE OIL SOURCES ON A PIPELINE
INSTEAD OF TRUCKS AND TRAINS TO
THE GULF COURSE IS LOGICAL.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS
SUPPOSED TO REACH A DECISION ON
THE PIPELINE BY SPRING. IN THE
MEANTIME EXPERTS SAY FUEL
PRICES
WILL RISE ANOTHER 40 TO 60
CENTS
BUT THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO
TO INCREASE YOUR CAR'S MILEAGE.
OBEY THE SPEED LIMIT, MAKE SURE
YOUR GAS CAP IS ON TIGHT AND
CLEAR OUT YOUR TRUNK.
PRICE TRACKER PREDICTS THE
AVERAGE PRICE WILL BE NEAR $4 A
GALLON NEAR APRIL.
A NEW INVESTIGATION SAYS
CHINA'S MILITARY IS BEHIND A
MASSIVE HACKING CAMPAIGN
AGAINST
U.S. TARGET S. THE REPORT WAS
DONE BY A SECURITY COMPANY
CALLED MANDIAN. THEY HAVE
TRACED CYBER ATTACKS TO A UNIT
OF CHINA'S' MILITARY IN CHANG
HIGH AND FOCUSED ON CONTRACTORS
WITH ENERGY GRIDS. THEY SAID
THE HACKERS HAVE SYSTEMATICALLY
STOLEN TERRA BITES OF DATA.
THE NEWTOWN SHOOTING IS A
BEFORE THE SOURCE OF RALLYING
CRIES AND THE STATE HOUSE
NARROWLY PASSED FOUR BILLS.
ONE
LIMITS AMMUNITION TO 15 FOR
RIFLES AND EIGHT TO GUNS AND
ANOTHER MEASURE ONLINE AND
ANOTHER BANS FIREARMS AT
STADIUMS AND OTHER PLACES. ONE
LAWMAKER SAID SHE DID NOT
APPRECIATE EAST COAST
POLITICIANS INFLUENCING
COLORADO
LEGISLATORS.
DESPITE STRICTER GUN
LEGISLATION NOW LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICIALS SAY VIOLENT MURDER
GAMES AND TOP THE COUNT OF A
ASSORT SERIAL MURDER PLAYED
INTO
THIS MURDERS. ADAM LANZA
WANTED
SURPASS THE BODY COUNT OF
NORWEGIAN KILLER IN 2001.
LANZA
CHOOSE SANDY HOOK BECAUSE IT
WAS
THE EASIEST TARGET WITH THE
LARGEST CLUSTER OF PEOPLE AND
SHOWS SHE WAS PROBABLY LIVING
OUT A AND IFACY BASED ON THE
VIDEO GAMES IN HIS HOME. THEY
FOUND GAMES IN A BLACKED OUT
ROOM IN HIS BASEMENT WHERE HE
SPENT HOURS PLAYING THEM ALONE.
MELISSA HENCA IS DIRECTOR
FOR
THE PARENTS TELEVISION COUNCIL
AND JOINS US NOW BY SCAPE.
MELISSA LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICIALS SAY VIDEO GAMES WERE
A
REASON FOR THIS AND IS IT YOUR
OPINION THAT VIRTUAL VIOLENCE
CAN LEAD TO THE REAL THING?
THERE IS
CERTAINLY IS A LINK AND VIOLENT
MEDIA CONTENT TO AGREES IN
CHILDREN. MORE RECENTLY WE
HAVE
NOT ONLY PSYCHOLOGICAL BUT
MEDICAL STUDIES THAT EXAMINES
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CHILD'S
BRAIN WHEN PLAYING VIOLENT
VIDEO
GAMES AND IT REPRESSES THE
AREAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR JUDGMENT,
RESPONSIBILITY AND EXCITES THE
AREAS OF THE BRAIN THAT ARE
INVOLVED IN THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT
IMPULSE SO IT'S REALLY NOT
SURPRISING THAT A CHILD WHO IS
CONSTANTLY EXPOSED TO MEDIA
VIOLENCE AND PLAYING VIOLENT
VIDEO GAMES HAVE AGGRESSIVE
TENDENCYS.
LAW OFFICIALS SAID THEY
FOUND
GAMES IN A BLACKED OUT ROOM IN
HIS BASEMENT WHERE HE SPENT
HOURS PLAYING THEM ALONE. I
THINK A KEY WORD HERE IS
"ALONE"
. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF PARENTS
FOR MONITORING WHAT GAMES THEIR
KIDS PLAY.
CERTAINLY MONITORING THE
VIDEO GAMES -- THE WAY THEY'RE
MADE THESE DAYS IT'S NOT LIKE
WATCHING YOUR CHILD PLAY PACK
MAN FOR MINUTES. SOMETIMES IT
TAKES DAYS AND DAYS TO GET
THROUGH SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO
THE RESEARCH. FIND OUT WHAT
THE
GAME IS ABOUT. FIND OUT WHAT
CONTENT TO EXEXPECT. THERE ARE
A LOT OF RESOURCES OUT THERE TO
GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIDEO
GAMES AND FIND OUT WHAT IT'S
LIKE. WATCH WITH YOUR CHILD,
PLAY WITH YOUR CHILD IF YOU
CAN.
YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE DAYS TO
DEVOTE TO IT BUT TO GET A SENSE
OF WHAT IS GOING ON, AND SET
APPROPRIATE ROLES IN YOUR HOME
AND IF THEY GO TO ANOTHER
CHILD'S HOUSE FIND OUT THEIR
RULES ARE WITH RESPECT TO MEDIA
CONTENT.
WHAT ARE OTHER STEPS PARENTS
CAN TAKE TO PROJECT THEIR KIDS
AND TEENS?
I THINK PARENTS NEED TO LIMIT
KID'S EXPOSE TOWER THIS KIND OF
MEDIA. WE RECOMMEND GETTING
THE
GAME COUNSELLULES AND THE
TELEVISION SETS AND THE
ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS OUT OF
THE
KID'S ROOM.
OKAY. THANKS FOR JOINING US
TODAY AND SHARING THIS
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION.
ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.
COMING UP SYRIAN REFUGEES
TAKE SHELTER IN JORDAN AND FIND
COMPASSION FROM A CHRISTIAN
MINISTRY.
ISRAEL'S PRIME
MINISTER SAYS NORTH COREE'S
LATEST NUCLEAR TEST SAYS
SANCTIONS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO
STOP THE PROGRAM. THE PRIME
MINISTER MADE THE STATEMENT TO
A
GATHERING OF JEWISH LEADERS AND
SAID IRAN WILL BE AT THE TOP OF
HIS AGENDA WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA
VISITS ISRAEL.
HAVE TOUGH SANCTIONS STOPPED
NORTH KOREA? NO. AND THE FACT
THEY PRODUCE A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION
REVERBERATES EVERYWHERE IN THE
MIDDLE EAST AND ESPECIALLY
IRAN. SANCTIONS
WILL NOT STOP THE PROGRAM.
THEY
HAVE TO BE COUPLED WITH A
CREDIBLE MILITARY THREAT.
THE PRESIDENT IS SAID TO
VISIT ISRAEL NEXT MONTH.
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO LEAVE HOME
AND WALKS FOR MANY MILES AND
END
UP IN A FOREIGN LAND? FOR
YEARS
THOUSANDS OF SYRIANS HAVE FACED
THAT CHALLENGE. MANY ARE
MAKING
IT WORK WITH THE HELP OF
CHRISTIANS.
O SAMA IS ONE OF THOUSANDS
OF
REF -- REFUGEES.
THIS SITUATION IS VERY
SERIOUS. THE PRESIDENT
DESTROYED THE CITY AND MOST
HAVE
NO WORK, NO FOOD, NO
ELECTRICITY. THEY ARE IN A BAD
SITUATION NOW.
ACCORDING TO THE UN THESE
REFUGEES ARE SPREAD ACROSS
TURKEY, LEBANON AND JORDAN.
NOW
SOME OF THE REFUGEES AND THEIR
CHILDREN ARE FINDING RELIEF.
SOME CHURCHES IN JORDAN ARE
TRYING TO HELP WITH THE TRAGEDY
AND MANY ARE EXPERIENCING THE
LOVE OF CHRISTIANS OF THE FIRST
TIME.
THEY'RE DEALING WITH US LIKE
HUMANS.
IT'S DANGEROUS WORK SO WE
HID
HIS IDENTITY FOR SECURITY
REASONS.
TAKE THIS TOWNT TO SHOW THE
LIGHT INSIDE THE DARKNESS.
PEOPLE GO OUTSIDE OF SYRIA
THEY'RE HOPELESS AND BEFORE
THEY
DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO LISTEN
TO THE GOSPEL ABOUT JESUS, BUT
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A CHANCE TO
SHOW THEM THE LOVE AND OUR
FAITH
THROUGH WHAT WE DO FOR THEM.
THEIR HELPED WHICHS HOT
MEALS, CHURCH SERVICES FOR THE
CHILDREN, AND CLOTHES FOR
FAMILIES WHO OFTEN HAVE NOTHING
THAN WHAT IS ON THEIR BACKS.
SOME OF THESE CHILDREN WENT
FROM
CONDITIONS LIKE THIS TO THIS,
AND THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO
TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THEIR
SITUATION. MANY OF THESE
MUSLIM
WOMEN, SOME NOW WIDOWED, WOULD
NOT HAVE STEPPED INSIDE A
CHURCH
IN SYRIA.
THEY HAVE NOT TALKED TO
SOMEONE ABOUT JESUS BUT HERE
THEY ARE IN NEED AND WE DON'T
WANT TO SAY WE ARE USING THEIR
NEED BUT WHILE WE ARE FEEDING
THEM AND TAKING CARE OF THEM
THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SHARE THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH IS
MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FOOD
AND
THINGS SO WE ARE CARING ABOUT
THEIR SOULS AS WE CARE ABOUT
THEIR BODY.
IT'S THE MINISTRY WHAT HE
APPRECIATES.
WE NEED IT. IT'S GOOD FOR
US
RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE DIDN'T
HAVE
ANY WORK. WE NEED ALL THE HELP
WE CAN GET. IT MAKES A
DIFFERENCE RIGHT NOW.
CHRIS MITCHELL CBN NEWS
JORDAN.
UP NEXT HEROES OF THE CIVIL
WAR THAT YOU NEVER HEARD ABOUT.
LEARN ABOUT THE MEN AND DOCTORS
FINALLY GETTING THEIR DUE.
THIS YEAR MARKS THE 150TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION.
SLAVERY FREED THE BLACK MEN
BUT MANY JOINED THE ARMY
INCLUDING DOCTORS. WE WENT IN
SEARCH OF THEIR STORIES.
TWO STORIES ARE WITH THIS
DOCTOR, MEDICAL AND HISTORY.
MEDICAL HISTORY IS OF A
PARTICULAR INTEREST, ESPECIALLY
CONTRIBUTIONS OF
AFRICAN-AMERICANS. IN HIS
RESEARCH HE FOUND THAT A
HANDFUL
OF BLACK MEN SERVED AS DOCTORS
IN THE CIVIL WAR SOMETHING HE
WRITES ABOUT IN PROLOGUE TO
CHANGE. WHEN PRESIDENT LINCOLN
FREED THE SLAVES NEARLY 200,000
BLACKS JOINED THE ARMY.
OF THE PHYSICIANS WE
JUSTIFIED THREE WERE OFFICERS
AND NINE WERE CONTRACT
SURGEONS.
MOSTLY IT WAS TAKING CARE OF
DISEASE ANYWAY. THEY WOULD DO
EXAMINATIONS, TAKE CARE OF THE
PEOPLE.
DR. AUGUSTA WAS A VETERAN OF
THE CIVIL WAR AND A
COMMISSIONED
OFFICER IN THE ARMY. HE'S ALSO
THE FIRST BLACK OFFICER TO ARE
BURIED HERE INARLING TON.
HE LEARNED TO READ EVEN
THOUGH IT WAS ILLEGAL AND
DANGEROUS. HIS DREAM OF
BECOMING A DOCTOR SEEMED ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE. THE UNIVERSITY OF
PENNSYLVANIA DENIED HIS
APPLICATION TO MEDICAL SCHOOL.
AUGUSTA WOULD NOT GIVE UP AND
WENT TO CANADA AND ENROLLED IN
COLLEGE AND IN SIX YEARS HE
RECEIVED A DEGREE IN MEDICINE.
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE
THE CHALLENGES THEY FACED AND
IT
HAD BE MAGNITUDE HARDER FROM
WHAT WE HAVE GONE THROUGH.
MICHELLE RADEAN IS A
PHYSICIAN. SHE SAYS THE HARD
SHIPS OF THOSE BEFORE HER ARE
AN
EXAMPLE TO HER AND OTHER BLACKS.
ON TOP OF IT BEING A VERY
DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING
SUBJECT MATTER TO HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND, BUT TO DO THAT IN
AN
ATMOSPHERE WHERE YOU WERE
CONSIDERED LESS THAN, WHERE YOU
WERE CONSIDERED TO BE SECOND
RATE, OR SECOND TIER, WHERE YOU
DIDN'T HAVE ALL OF THE
RESOURCES
THAT YOU NEED IN ORDER TO
SUCCEED, AND THEN TO BE ABLE TO
ACHIEVE ANYWAY.
IN 1862 AFTER RETURNING TO
THE U.S. AUGUSTA WROTE A DIRECT
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT LINCOLN
OFFERING HIS SERVICES AS A
SURGEON IN THE ARMY. AFTER
MANY
ROADBLOCKS HE GAINED A
COMMISSION IN THE ARMY. TIME
IN
THE ARMY WAS DIFFICULT BOTH ON
AND OFF THE BATTLEFIELD. MOST
SURGEONS IN THE WAR WORKED IN
MEDICAL HOSPITALS OR RECRUITING
STATIONS BECAUSE WHITE
PHYSICIANS REFUSED TO SERVE
NEAR
THEM OR UNDER THEIR COMMAND IN
THE BATTLEFIELD.
HE HAD TWO REGISTERED
ASSISTANTS WITH HIM AND THEY
WERE WHITE AND THEY REBELLED
OBVIOUSLY. THE SENIOR
ASSISTANT
SURGEON SAID IT'S NOT RIGHT
THERE ARE NO OTHER WHITE MAN
WORKING FOR A BLACK MAN AND I
SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO IT EITHER.
DR. JOHN DEGROSS OF
MASSACHUSETTS WAS ONE
EXCEPTION.
HE AND OTHER BLACK DOCTORS IN
THE CIVIL WAR WERE OF MIXED
RACE
AND COULD EASILY PASS AS
WHIETD.
AFTER VOLUNTEERING HE RECEIVED
A
COMMISSION AS ASSISTANT SURGEON
WITH THE 35TH UNITED COLORED
INFANTRY, ONE OF THREE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN PHYSICIANS TO
DO SO. HE WAS THE ONLY BLACK
SURGEON TO SERVE IN THE FIELD
WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA REGIMEN
AND ONE OF EIGHT TO BE IN THE
MEDICAL CORP. UNFORTUNATELY
LITTLE IS WRITTEN IN THE
HISTORY
BOOKS ABOUT THESE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN PHYSICIANS AND
THEIR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.
THE POWERS AT BE DECIDED
THAT
THE ACCEPTABLE PHYSICIANS WERE
WHITE MEN SO A LOT OF THE
INFORMATION ON A LOT OF THESE
PEOPLE, THE AFRICAN-AMERICANS
AS
WELL AS THE EARLY WOMEN
PHYSICIANS IS JUST -- PEOPLE
CHOSE NOT TO RECORD IT.
AFTER THE WAR DR. AUGUSTA
WENT ON TO SERVE ON THE STAFF
AT
HOWARD UNIVERSITY. AND FOR AS
FAR AS DR. DEGROSS HE WAS GIVEN
A SERVICE AWARD. SLAW SON IS
DOING WHAT HE CAN TO TELL THE
STORIES OF THE PHYSICIANS EACH
WHO DESERVE A PLACE IN HISTORY
AS FORERUNNERS OF THE MODERN
WORLD.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE HEROS.
THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED AND
WENT AFTER IT AND WANTED TO
SERVE IN THE BEST WAY THEY
COULD
AND THEY WERE TRAINED AS
PHYSICIANS AND THAT WAS THE
BEST
SERVICE THEY COULD GIVE. I
DON'T SEE A DIFFERENCE.

UP NEXT LIKE FATHER LIKE
SON,
THE PARENT CHILD DIEWRO THAT IS
STUNNING PLANNERS ON ONE VERY
SPECIAL COLLEGE TEAM.
ONE IOWA FATHER IS PROVING
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO NOT ONLY
RETURN BACK TO SCHOOL.
BUT ALSO RETURN BACK TO THE
COURT.
I WENT BACK TO THE FARM.
HAD
SIX KIDS ALWAYS WANTING TO GO
BACK AND FINISH MY ONE YEAR
DEGREE.
BACK IN THE 80'S PAUL RUDEIR
WAS HIS COLLEGE'S VALUABLE
PLAYER. HE DROPPED OUT TO TAKE
CARE OF PRESSING
RESPONSIBILITIES BUT ALWAYS
WANTED TO GO BACK TO FINISH
THAT
ONE YEAR DEGREE AND HE GOT HIS
CHANCE AND A CHANCE TO RELIVE
HIS GLORY DAYS ON THE COURT.
I LOOK TO HIM FOR HIM TO
TELL
ME WHAT TO DO.
HE THROWS UP A GREAT SHOT
FROM HALF COURT AND DRAINS IT
AND THE WHOLE CROWD GOES NUTS.
IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE.
THEY'RE TEAMMATES AND IN THE
SAME CLASS AT COLLEGE AND HE'S
WORKING TOWARD HIS EDUCATION
FOR
A TEACHER.
ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL.
YEAH, FAT
