Summary
Continued from T:26646. The 25th hour of CNN's coverage of the attempted coup against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. "CNN Sports Tonight" includes the baseball scores from games played during the evening, reports on the American and National League pennant race, and other sports news. "Moneyline With Lou Dobbs" begins with Dobbs reviewing events in the coup and talking about the coup leaders. In reports and brief interviews, topics covered include the global implications of the coup; the uncertainity surrounding Soviet oil production; the future of the Soviet grain trade; and the reasons why the new coup leaders would be bad for American business. In an interview with Dobbs, U.S. Commerce Sec. Robert Mosbacher says that geopolitical issues must take precedence over the economic considerations. Irv Chapman reports on the future of military cutbacks, with comments by Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy, and Howard Rubel of C.J. Lawrence. "Moneyline" analyst Myron Kandel concludes the program by commenting on the tumble of the Dow Jones industrial average as compared with other stock markets around the world.
