but elizabeth was willing because, as i say, elizabeth is a student of history, and elizabeth realized that for better or for worse, these two people in perpetuity are going to be joined together, and they had a certain obligation for the sake of history to let history see them as they turned 70. i hope i'm not giving away some secret there, elizabeth. [laughter] and so elizabeth was game to do it. she said i'm not sure what i would say to her, but i would do it. and hazel said, hazel didn't say no, hazel said i'm not ready yet. and the operative word there is "yet." and i'm hopeful that, you know, sometime when we're all out of the way and nobody is looking and nobody's paying any attention to them that, um, the two of them do come back together again in some way. and that would, indeed, be a very happy ending. so i just want to thank all of a you for coming and for caring about the story and for caring about my book, and i'm happy to take any questions you might have.

back to you. >> elizabeth, 6:38 now.n presidential hopeful herman cain is in washington, d.c. this morning. and while dealing with some old allegations. he is at the american enterprise institute. a conservative think tank to discuss his 9-9-9 tax plan. here is a live look. that is what he is talking about right now is that tax plan. and after this, he is supposed to make an appearance at the national press club. in the meantime though, the cain campaign is denying allegations that he has engaged in sexual suggestive behavior. the web site politico says cain faced allegations of sexual harassment back in the 1990s. from two women, who worked at the national restaurant association. and cain led the trade group at the time. and politico also says that the allegations led to financial settlements, and so far, though, cain himself is not answering questions about that report, and yesterday, or this morning. >> i'm not going to comment about two people that you won't tell me who they are. okay? that's like negotiating -- >> p

reporting live, elizabeth sanchez, cbs news, seal beach, california. >> thank you, elizabeth. >>> now to northern california where two amtrak trains collided earlier today in oakland. one of the trains was parked in the oakland station. it was actually hit from behind by an arriving train. at least 16 people were hurt. most with minor injuries. >> we heard like a big bang, like a bomb. >> sounded exactly like that. >> and we thought the forklift had hit the train, you know? we didn't even think another train had hit the train. but it sure did. >> it could have been worse. the moving train was not traveling at high speeds. >>> now to politics and a shake-up in the race for the republican presidential nomination. herman cain has surged to the top in a just released poll. according to the nbc news/"wall street journal" survey, cain is the first choice of 27% of republican voters and 23% chose mitt romney and rick perry was third with 16%. cain is being driven to the top of the gop field in part due to his simplified 999 tax plan. susan mcginnis is in washington with more on that. susan,

josh elliott and elizabeth vargas are on the scene in perugia. let's get to elizabeth. who has covered this case from the start. good morning, elizabeth. reporter: good morning, george. four years after the murder of british roommate, meredith kercher, two years after amanda knox was convicted of that brutal crime, it has all come down to this. the judge and jurors are deliberating in that 15th century courtroom. they started about two hours ago. they did so after hearing one dramatic and emotional final plea from amanda knox herself. early this morning, a police van carried amanda knox from the prison on the outskirts of perugia that has been her home for the last 47 months to the mobbed medieval courthouse. her family made its way inside. her father and sisters first, then her mother and stepfather. the whole world watching, amanda was led in looking tense and nervous. she sat with the two italian lawyers who defended her from the start, who insisted this morning in a final closing argument, that because the crucial dna evidence whas been discredited, she must be free

right now let's check the roads with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence. no major roadwork to slow you down this morning. no major accidents, i should say, to start off your morning commute. we have roadwork in east palo alto along the peninsula. so we'll tell you more with that plus more roadwork going on in the east bay including a full freeway closure. >> okay, very good. thanks, guys. >>> it is 4:31. >>> oakland city officials say they committed to letting protestors continue to occupy frank ogawa plaza. anne makovec is in oakland where there two different protest camps this morning. >>> reporter: this is the largest at frank ogawa plaza here in front of oakland city hall. you can see here behind me it was stunning when we drove up this morning. this is the first time that i have covered the "occupy" movement here in oakland. they have a tent city basically that's built here on the front lawn of city hall. there have been some problems according to city officials recently. and they say they are trying to work with the protestors right now to make sure

it's traffic time with elizabeth. >> thank you. we sent chopper to hayward because of an accident at tennyson. up to five vehicles were involved and one lane was blocked. tow crews are out there now. this is southbound 880 in hayward right there by tennyson. not really doing much to traffic though. looks like everything is getting by okay. let's go to morgan hill. different story here. in fact they just issued a traffic alert. northbound one by cochran. we are hearing about an overturned big rig. all three northbound lanes are blocked. scrap metal debris in the road so traffic only getting by on the center divide and shoulder. that could be out there for a while. south bay looks okay getting crowded now in the northbound lanes of 280. heading out of downtown san jose, we have this accident highway 85. just past bascomb avenue northbound 85. one lane is blocked there. at the bay bridge, yes, back to work, i know, we had an earlier stall past the metering lights. they quickly cleared it but it is jammed solid to at least the 880 over

>> too many to count. >> yet you stayed. >> i couldn't leave. >> but elizabeth does eventually leave. is out of town and she decides enough is enough and makes her daring escape. >> elizabeth tells her story. to the police. mario's arrested. he makes bail. and then when he's out on bail is when he apparently beats up jessica. >> he beat me up because he thought i was lying to him. >> because he thought you were lying. >> mm-hmm. he thought i was cheating on him. >> remarkably jessica's story is almost identical to elizabeth's. >> i woke up and he started yelling at me asking me who it was, and before i could answer him, yeah, he picked me up and threw me off the coach. >> what did he do then? >> slid on the floor. and then he sat on my arms. >> pinned you down. >> mm-hmm. that's when he hit me in my face. >> similarly, when he is accused of beating up jessica, he also cuts off some of her hair. jessica agrees to be interviewed. the detective gets a warrant and basically there is a manhunt. there is an interesting parallel because that detective actually went to high school with mario.

it started with elizabeth cooper ross. she was a doctor and worked with the dying and she began to bring grief work into a professional realm. in the beginning, grief was thought to be a very individual experience, so people worked with those that worked with it with work with individual therapists. and then it's more of a peer peer group counseling. and then led to professionally led groups. and we have done this, within a community of strangers, a grief camp weekend experience, a retreat experience and i think now all of those things come to bare and are very well used and well respected. it's take a community. >> so we've seen a development of scaffolding of support for every individual as they go through grief. everybody feels as if their grief is individual to themselveses only but yet we all go through. >> exactly. >> and it's realistic in many people's minds because they set a model as the right way to agreement and the truth is -- to grieve. and the truth is we all grieve uniquely according to our own sense of self

elizabeth warren takes a jab at senator scott brown's claim that he had to pose nude to pay for college in 1982, but it's what scott brown said back that's raising eyebrows. it's friday, october 7th, 2011. this is "the daily rundown." i'm chuck todd. let me get right to my "first read" of the morning. and let's start with the jobs numbers. employers added 103,000 jobs in september. it left the unemployment rate unchanged at 9.1%. now, the president has been pulling out all the stops to sell his jobs bill. he's been traveling to schools, bridges, rural america, plans to take another bus tour in swing states like north carolina and virginia. then, of course, the white house news conference where the president argued that his jobs bill is an insurance policy against a double-dip recession. >> what i've tried to do is say here are the best ideas i've heard, not just from partisans, but from independent economists. these are the ideas most likely to create jobs now and strengthen the economy right now. >> the president has tried a number of ways to rally public support for the bill, but poll
