83. we'll look back with a fellow cast mate. early this wednesday morning, october 20th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs hello to all on this wednesday morning. welcome to "the early show." i'm maggie rodriguez. >> i'm harry smith. good morning. >> we were so sad to hear of the passing of tom bosley, mr. c from "happy days." everyone's dad. donny most will share memories of tom bosley. we do this story f to time. studies done about it. hormone replacement therapy. symptoms of menopause. some doctors and patients said maybe a little bit is okay. a brand-new study says probably not. so we'll get to the latest on that, as well. e'll take you back. i'm sure you remember the confirmation hearing that divided the nation. clarence thomas accused of sexual harassment by anita hill in 1991. now thomas's wife appears to have reopened the wounds with a phone call. jan craw details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. 19 years may seem like a long time ago and some remember it but to the people involved in the hearings ginni thomas, it was only yesterday. >> professor, do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god? >> i do. >> reporter: the testimony riveted a testimony. >> he would turn the conversation to a discussion of sexual matters. >> reporter: anita hill's sensational charges against clarence thomas her boss nearly derailed the nomination to the supreme court. thomas angrily denied the allegations. >> this is high-tech lynching. >> reporter: the senate went on to confirm him 19 years ago this month. but the wounds went deep especially for his wife ginni, who said she never doubted her husband and proving that time doesn't heal all wounds last week mrs. thomas called anita hill now a professor, to ask for an apology for damaging her husband's reputation. according to a source with knowledge of the events thomas said in a voice mail i would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did to my husband. so give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did. in an interview three years ago, ginni thomas told me of similar wishes. >> i think she shows us an apology and i look forward to receiving that phone call or that visit one day. >> reporter: hill didn't apologize then or now. she alerted the police and turned over the recording to the fbi. in a statement she said the call was inappropriate. and she said she isn't sorry. i have no intention of apologizing because i testified truthfully about my experience and i stand by that testimony. now, i reached ginni thomas last night. she said she didn't want to talk about the phone call but said the views on the apology as expressed three years ago didn't change. >> clearly she wanted an apology for a long time. is there any speculation as to why she made the phone call now? >> reporter: that is the question that everyone is trying to get answered. her friends, people who are close to her, why now? of course, it was 19 years ago this month. around the anniversary, maybe she was feeling reflective. it also is about the same time "the new york times" at the time publishing a big profile of ginni thomas. maybe she was thinking feeling empowered. >> do you think we'll hear from clarence thomas on this? >> reporter: no. he doesn't speak publicly about these things but his wife has been his passionate lifetime defender since their marriage. i would not expect to hear from justice thomas, only ginni. maggie? >> jan crawford thank you. it is 7:05. here's harry. >> thanks. now to politics. the crucial midterm elections, less than two weeks. >> away and president obama heads to portland oregon today. beginning another campaign blitz in hopes of avoiding a dlatic washout. but he may be getting some help from republicans. cbs news congressional correspondent nan sis cordes is in washington the story. i guess that's unintentional help. >> reporter: that's right, harry. you could call it an experience or quirkiness and seeing a spade of strange claims of tea party candidates and latest from candidate christine o'donnell who actually drew gasps from her audience yesterday. >> where in the constitution is the separation of church and state? >> it's in -- no. an excellent point. >> hold on. hold on please. >> reporter: christine o'donnell and chris coons were debating the teaching of creationism when o'donnell that calls herself a strict constitutionalist appeared unaware of one of the constitution's basic tenants. >> the separation of church and state is found in the first amendment? >> government shall make no establishment of religion. >> that's in the 5st amendment? >> reporter: some candidates that rode to nominations of tea party energy are sounding more moderate. in florida's senate debate tuesday night marco rubio pledged to prosect social security benefits including his own mother's. >> social security is the sole source of income she has. i would never support any changes to social security that would adversely impact her or people in her demographic. >> reporter: last night in the illinois senate debate where the race for president obama's former senate seat is essentially tied both candidates in attack mode. mark kirk attacking the opponent's business background. >> a risky real estate loans. brokered hot money deposits and loans to well-known convicted felons and mobsters. >> reporter: alexi gentlemaniannoulias attacked the military claims. >> reporter: back in delaware the campaign of o'donnell said she does understand the constitution but was simply making the point that the actual words "separation of church and state" don't appear in the 1st amendment, harry. >> thanks very much nanty cordes. that came from thomas jefferson some years later. let's talk about this this morning with two analysts. in washington jamal simmons, democratic strategist. in austin texas, dan bartlett a republican strategist. good morning guys. >> hey, harry. >> this is where it gets interesting. two weeks to go. people start to say interesting things. lots of money pouring in. negative ads all over the place. dan, let me start with you. from the mainstream republican standpoint, are the tea party candidates an asset or a liability? >> i think regardless of the comments of christine o'donnell, other slip-ups by the young candidates particularly in the senate race where is the pressure is on the profiles of the candidates really come under intense scrutiny i still think that net-net the tea party movement, the activism the intensity will help particularly in the house of representatives. it would be the difference in why i believe the republicans will take over the house. you are right, though. these gaffes these candidate that is don't have as much experience will probably be a good part of the reason why republicans will probably come up a little bit short in the senate with republicans not getting over the finish line in delaware as you stated. >> sure. jamal, if you're a mainstream democrat, sort to speak, would you rather run against the mainstream republican candidate or a tea party candidate? >> i think i am a mainstream democrat. >> fire away. >> i think you would rather run against a tea party candidate. we can see the places where the tea party hurt the republicans. it is yet to be seen whether or not having the tea party candidates will help the republicans yet because we don't know what will happen if they had a regular, normal establishment conservative on the ballot. so, i think we'll all see whether the tea party folks show up on election day. the democrats are doing a pretty good effort of getting the voters out. >> okay. because that's my question. less than two weeks left. time is on whose side? time on the democrats' side? >> oh i think time is. because here's the thing. in a lot of states now, you have early voting and people have already started to cast the ballots, whether nevada or iowa some of the states and what you are starting to see, iowa a case this morning. iowa, 150,000 democratic ballots are already out and 105,000 republican ballots so you are starting to see a little uptick of democratic turnout kind of taking over -- >> harry, harry? >> go ahead, dan. >> i mean bottom line is actions speak louder than words. the president obama is in oregon, campaigning in california. these are hard-core democratic states. they're on big-time defense. they wish they had more time to cover more of the not only defensive states but trying to pick up a seat. and that's where the challenge is. democrats are playing defense. you may notice the fact of the debate last night in illinois. it is getting nasty but the fact that the president's own seat his own seat when he was in the senate is that closely contested demonstrates that republicans are on offense this cycle. democrats on defense. >> all right.. we have 13 days to go. thank you, gentlemen. appreciate it. all right. >> it's time to check the rest of the day's headlines with erica hill. good morning. >> maggie, good morning. harry, good morning. good morning to everyone at home. for the first time the american military is accepting openly gay recruits. including vets to serve again like former lieutenant dan choi. an iraq war veteran discharged for being gay and reenlisted here in new york yesterday. after a federal judge refused to government request to delay a previous ruling banning don't ask, don't tell. choi called the military's ban unconstitutional. >> it's not always easy to go to combat and serve your country. particularly when the country openly discriminates against you for telling the truth. >> he was one of at least three gay former service members beginning the process to reenlist. the 1993 law banning gays from serving openly in the military was overturned last month. two port stroller recalls this morning. the graco quattro tours before 2006 and metrolite strollers made before july 2007 can allow a child to be trapped between the tray and the seat. and be strangled. they were involved in the deaths of four children between 2003 and 2005. before a larger opening was required in 2008. now, if you have one of the strollers, you can get a free repair kit which is offered by graco. it is a sad farewell this morning to actor tom bosley. the man that played the father on the long-running tv hit "happy days" has died. >> so thank you all for being part of our family. to happy days. >> bosley was best known as howard cunningham the typical american dad in the popular tv series. he died yesterday at his home near palm springs. he was 83 years old and we'll be more on tom bosley in the next half hour. in peru a police officer survived a very close call. look at that. highway cameras showing the officer on a motorcycle. show you again. running into a 18-wheel truck last week. she just missed getting caught under the tires. amazingly she escaped with only a broker shoulder and bruises and quite a story to tell. in sports the yankees are on the verge of being eliminated. in the sixth inning a three-run homer off burnett to take the lead. the rangers losing to a 10-3 win. they could wrap up the series this afternoon. rough on folks here in new york city. while there were not many breaks, check this out. foufrt inning gardner broke his bat hitting a ground ball. as his -- and barrel of the bat flew through the air and see the aftermath. broke the protective glass on a tv camera and there you see the shot. which is when i walked into a liveing room and said what was that? it was a bat. dave price here with a first check of the weather. you have the perfect aim when you're -- >> out a doubt. >> oh! >> thank you very much. only fourth grader being traded in little league for a player to be named the following year. >> still in recovery for that. >> that's exactly right. hurts to this day. wearing my pinstripes for perhaps the last time this season, as well: a check of the maps. good morning to you, erica. here we go. much of the center of the country welcoming good. keep in mind, southeast, we are going to see that cooler drier air and that warmer more moist air combined. we could see shower activity and that's going to push eastward over the next 24 hours. light rains, early thundershowers. out west, one more time. we are looking at this slow-moving low pressure system to bring half an inch to an inch of rain and that's a quick look at the n >> that's 7:15 and the first check of the weather. >> thank you dave. we have new developments to report in the search for the body of american david hartley. his wife has made a very emotional decision. to move back to colorado. she told us exclusively that she may be going back but she is not giving up. here's cbs news correspondent don teague. >> reporter: a heart-breaking good-bye for tiffany hartley who packed up the home she used to share with her husband david. >> i'm supposed to be moving with my husband. we're supposed to be going to colorado. we're supposed to be starting a family. >> reporter: but today, tiffany is moving back the colorado alone. her husband, murdered september 30th allegedly shot to death by members of the zetata drug cartel while they jet skied on the mexican side of the falcon lake. >> i haven't packed his stuff yet. i think that's the hardest part. >> reporter: tiffany had hoped to stay in texas until her husband's body was found but mexican authorities suspended the search for the remains last week after the lead investigator was murdered. >> i'm the one that's holding everybody back. >> reporter: but it's unlikely david's body will ever be returned and for tiffany, the time has finally come to go home. >> he would want me to move on. you know? start, you know, figuring out how i'm going to do this without him. >> reporter: the drug violence along the mexican border cost david hartley his life and tiffany hartley her dreams. now, she's starting a new chapter with only her memories. >> sometimes i'm just searching for him. wanting him to hug me. wanting, you know, him to embrace me and kiss me and -- do the things that we always did. >> reporter: don teague cbs news, dallas. >> and we'll stay in touch with her because this investigation is far from over. still ahead here remembering tom bosley who played mr. c. on "happy days" and speaking with ralph malph this morning. a new warning of breast cancer and hormone replacement therapy. what do americans waste much of their money?

i. have. they've been very communicative. my issue is not really with google. you know, my issue is with this person who is doing this. google now has 15 days to get the information to me, and i'm hopeful that we will get the information, which will include itm information and lawsuit information with 15 days. >> to help you trace it back. earlier we spoke, of course, we spoke on the phone, you were reluctant to speak to the media, not sure you wanted to come on television. but even then i think i know who this person is. you are this close. are you confident this person will be, in fact, the person from the information you receive? >> i'm pretty confident. who knows. it could be someone else. i will say, this is harassment, and over the past couple of weeks, i guess all of this attention has settled in, and you know over the past year i've kind of become a cyber harassment expert and have been able to help people over the past few weeks who have also suffered from targeted bullying. so, yeah. you know, google has been you know, great. they've been communicative. they're helping me in my case and my case is an example and inspiration to others who are facing this issue also. this has actually led to something you are working on personally. cyber bullying legislation? >> working with new york senator eric adams, an april mazing man a former police officer who reached tout me had he heard about be my case. as i said before had this happened through the mail or the phone, or in person this would absolutely be illegal. i could have gone to the police. you can't go to the police when it's online. senator adams has me doing research. he's recently had a cyber business roundtable where many companies including google and yahoo! attended and it was an amazing very productive roundtable. >> what's your advice to someone who may be the victim of a cyber bullier? should they go to it court like you did? >> that is one route. for parents, people out there who are concerned, there are limited tools out there. set up google alerts on yourself. periodically search yourself. if you're parents, figure wlut your kid is doing online. unfortunately we as the adults are setting the examples for kids. that is why there's an increase in cyber bull ig. i do want to say that. we are part ever the problem, but i would recommend taking that route to monitor yourself and if it gets worse, absolutely. call your senator. go to the court. stand up for yourself. do not be afraid. i was afraid initially. i'm not anymore. >> you can just tell you have great energy about you this morning. great to you have back with us carla. please, keep us posted as you hear more and give us more information with the next couple weeks i. will let you know. much more to come on "the early show." if you hear the phrase i can see you now chances are you've been waiting for those words a long time. tricks from our own doctor to help you slash the wait time. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. on cbs.
