want more account ability. they say they want to give their dollars and maximize those dollars and sth structure will do it. >> glor: jill, thanks very much. >> thank you. >> glor: a pioneer of the american kitchen has passed away. chuck williams, founder of williams sonoma, started the company in 1-9d 56 to sell quality cookware to quawlity chefs as well as those that aspire to quality. a demographic whose ranks soon swelled with the influence of julia child. he told the company in 1978. chuck williams was 100 years old. coming up on tonight's cbs evening news, the music of video games with strings attached.
