wildfire in new mexico's history. more than 1,200 firefighters on the front lines. and nbc's miguel almaguer is there. >> reporter: today by helicopter, firefighters launch an aerial assault on a stubborn blaze difficult to reach. the nation's largest wildfire is steamrolling through the gila national forest. more than 240,000 acres charred so far. a massive swath of land. a fire that won't be out for weeks, or even months. >> the steepness of the terrain. we have steep terrain, where some of the canyons are 500 to 600 feet deep with vertical dropoffs. so just trying to deal with terrain like that makes it extremely difficult to suppress. >> reporter: as 1,200 firefighters dig in, the whitewater baldy fire has cost $13 million to fight. this weekend, crews in the historic mining town more than 150 years old was surrounded by three walls of fire.

it wasn't the record of a job creator. he had the wrong economic philosophy and he failed. >> reporter: both sides are bracing for a tight race. an early test could come tuesday in wisconsin, where the bitter fight to recall gop governor scott walker is being billed by both sides as a dry run in the presidential race. >> the whole country is watching us. this is an election that will send shock waves throughout america. >> reporter: in office just 18 months, walker ignited a firestorm after stripping public workers of collective bargaining rights and making them pay more into pension and health plans. a record $64 million had been spent on the recall, much of it from out-of-state unions and their opponents nationwide. national figures on both sides have weighed in, including bill clinton, who campaigned with the challenger, milwaukee mayor tom barrett. >> you tell him no.

we're back now with big news in the fight against breast cancer, coming out of a major cancer conference this weekend in chicago. more than 40,000 doctors meeting to discuss new break-throughs. tonight we're learning about a new drug that doctors and scientists hope could help about a quarter of the 230,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer in the u.s. each year. our report tonight from our chief science correspondent, robert bazell. >> reporter: it is a new kind of drug. the so-called magic bullet that attacks a type of breast cancer while preserving quality of life. >> any time that we see a drug that can improve patient survival, improve their quality of life, and have few toxicities, we get so excited about that.

>> reporter: fern saitowitz was one of almost 1,000 women in the study, out today. all had advanced breast cancer of a type called her-2 positive that is especially aggressive. the standard treatment is a custom-made antibiotic called herceptin that attaches to the cancer cell but must be find with regular chemotherapy. the new drug called t-dm1 links the herceptin antibody with a powerful toxin. the antibody travels through the bloodstream and attaches to the poison cells directly, sparing the healthy cells and eliminating the need for additional chemotherapy. after two years, 65.4% of the women on t-dm1 were alive compared to 47.5% of those on the standard treatment. the doctors at the convention here in chicago are impressed enough with those results, they expect they're likely to get much better when the drug is given to women with much less advanced breast cancer. and because the toxin only goes

into the cancer, the side effects are relatively mild compared to the standard chemotherapy. >> i don't feel sick. my insides don't feel raw. my fingernails are not turning black, and i'm not losing my fingernails. and i'm able to live a very normal life. >> reporter: dr. kimberly blackwell was the head researcher. >> for 20 years, we thought about this idea, if we could just kill cancer cells without hurting the patient faced with cancer. >> reporter: experiments are under way to find other so-called magic bullets, for breast and many kinds of cancer. robert bazell, nbc news, chicago. we're back in a moment with a stunning announcement tonight from an olympic champion.

investors reacting to a disappointing jobs report and new fears the economy is sputtering. cnbc's mandy drury joins us in new york tonight. mandy, what might we expect tomorrow? >> you really said it, lester, because the much lower than expected number of jobs created in may has reignited fears that the u.s. economy could double dip. remember, we have been here before. concerns about us falling back into recession is what pushed the stock market sharply lower the last two summers as well. and it really feels like a triple whammy now, because on top of the u.s. economy seemingly slowing down, european markets are dealing with a debt crisis, and asian markets are slowing down, too. what that does this week is it sharpens the debate at the central bank as to whether they should do more, lester, to stimulate the economy. you're also going to hear a whole lot more on the economy from both president obama and mitt romney, as we get closer to the november election. and voters like you are focusing on their job creating credentials. in terms of what this market

means for you and me, yes, it may be scary to look at your 401(k) right now, but the turmoil is also pushing down mortgage rates. currently they're sitting at record lows. it's also pushing down energy costs. for example, when you go to fill up at the pump. so there are pros and cons. but these are certainly things we're keeping a sharp eye on when we go back to open up the markets tomorrow, lester. >> mandy drury, thank you so much. cnbc will have live coverage tonight as the markets begin to open overseas. you can catch "markets in turmoil" at 9:00, 8:00 central, on cnbc. when we come back, he's an expert salesman at turning trash into cash, and he's been making a big difference since kindergarten.

but my dad sometimes has a seizure. >> reporter: and for his efforts, the cartridge manufacturers pay. how much money do you think you get for that box? >> anywhere from $100 to $200. >> reporter: dollars? but sam klein's work doesn't end there, because he takes his profits and reinvests them in people. donating some $1,000 so far to those who are less fortunate. >> i think it hurts him beyond to see somebody who's been tossed aside, whether it's a person or whether it's garbage. >> i feel i'm making a small difference. but i hope to make a larger and larger difference. >> reporter: mining other people's garbage, discovering life's real value. kevin tibbles, nbc news, st. louis. that's "nbc nightly news" for this sunday. brian williams will be here tomorrow. in the meantime, i'll see you shortly on "dateline." i'm lester holt reporting from new york. for all of us here at nbc news, good night.
