. >> a cliff-hanger of a case. "in an instant." thanks for joining us. i'm lester holt. the papers called it the spray tan murder trial. but could a spray tan really be to blame for a young mother's puzzling death? the questions in this case started early one morning with a dramatic call for help and ended five years later with an equally dramatic verdict in court. here's keith morrison. >> the story when it hit the news sounded almost crazy. >> killed by a spray tan. >> claiming his wife died after an allergic reaction to a spray tan. >> a husband tried to blame her death on a spray tan and thus a myth was born. the case of the spray tan defense, what a headline. it was a strange tale. it was true that a spray tan did briefly play a role at the heart of what sounded like murder. but the real story, headlines don't always tell it, do they? the true story of what happened here in miami was far more troubling, tragic, and bizarre than any headline. and it all happened so fast. >> business was good. beautiful house, great friends, and then it changed in an instant. like tha

i suspect it's going to be a cliff hanger with obama winning. closer to the election it gets, it seems to be the more animosity will be created between the parties and the steep fiscal cliff. if we look at 2007, we're starting to see like them, especially in china, this broad deceleration in global manufacturing activity. >> so doug, give us how you've changed, if at all, your portfolio since you made that call here on "fast." the markets are up 2%. what have you done to your portfolio to reflect that? >> i have slightly increased my short positions. i'm respectful of the price action. i have added some one off longs like avon products, which i'm hopeful is still the apple of cody's eye in terms of a takeover. i'm a couple percent shorter than when we last discussed. >> okay. so really sticking to it. doug, good to talk to you as always. karen, i'm wondering if you would be on that trade as well. >> i don't own avon. i think cody's gone. >> oh, so it's gone. >> if goes up, it's based on its own fundamentals. >> i think so. >> and there's a lot of

it's like a cliff hanger. >> how do you create a sense of mystique?u don't tell people much about it, and even when they were announcing it last week, they didn't say, initially, what the announcement was going be to be. there was no press release, iphone 5. so, it's really bottomed out and top up. a lot of what fuels it are all the bloggers. for months, thousands of bloggers, all across the country, have been speculating, what's the iphone 5 going to be like, what are the characteristics, et cetera. they've not not only the buzz they've created by the he creasy, but bloggers are writing about it. >> i think we in the conventional media are being used. get that buzz going. >> right. >> and go out there and say we'll sound the trumpets when we hit 700. >> a way to drive the stock price more, sure. they spoke on day one, the first hour they were sold out. you know, so, you have the-- you can't even-- you didn't walk out of the the store with the phone. stuart: they don't need conventional advertising. >> no, they spend very little money. the ipod, there

the season ended and we found out that my mother was still alive, which was a huge cliff-hanger. happened when i was a child that i can't quite remember what. so, i'm on that sort of path. and we see her in a different light in this almost obsessive, kind of desperately trying to find this person. >> not as much in control. >> not as much in control. there's a new character coming in, who was her first sort of adult love. and who is sort of on his own quest for revenge. and betrayed her at a certain point. >> i want to show everybody a clip. amanda back in town, stirring things up in a big, bad way. >> i know that you've always been there for me. but i'm on a different path now. >> oh. that's why you're pushing me away. >> jack and i are not going anywhere. we're in this together for real. >> how real can it be? >> plenty, once the baby comes. and don't forget, if he learns the truth about me, everyone learns the truth about you. >> it's so good. i want you and jack together so badly. >> i know. i know. if we get together, the story's almost over. you have to hang in there. he's

so, this is not entirely a cliff-hanger in that we do know, there was a compromise. in short, did it boil down to? california would be at played mitted as a free state. congress was one territorial government, and the rest of the mexican, no mention of slavery. congress would fix texas' western boundary where it is today, just east of new mexico, and if texas reel helping quiched its claims can the.s. would pay off its states debt. texas was begging for a bailout. think of general motors. they took the money. another part of the compromise, the slaves freed in washington d.c. would be ended but slavery itself would be affirmed, and a new fugitive slave law would sharply increase punishment for anyone who aided run away slaves. the net effect of the compromise, in short, would be that it staved off wore for ten years. this is not a small accomplishment, given what was perceived as the impossible of changing it at the time. it was a decade that ultimately transformed the north so that when war finally came, it was a war that the north could actually -- was willing to f
