TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9 GARY BUSEY
First, Gary Busey successfully battled his addiction to alcohol and drugs. Now, Busey is locked in a life and death struggle with cancer. AMERICAN JOURNAL shows you how this deadly disease has turned the once belligerent actor into a family man and outspoken anti-drug advocate.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10 DIVINE MADNESS
There is no doubt that track coach Marc Tizer’s methods are successful but while some say the coach is very strict, others claim he is really running a cult. Tizer has run the Divine Madness Ultra Club in Boulder, Co for over twenty years and denies any of his methods are illegal. But, some former club members have claimed that Tizer, who insists that members call him "Yo," is a manipulative, alcoholic, sex-addicted despot who controls every aspect of his followers’ lives.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11 PRAYER DIET
Men and women for years have been looking for a safe and effective diet that will help them lose those extra pounds. Unfortunately, most diet pills have been proven unsafe and most diet regiments a temporary fix at best. Well, dieters in Tennessee believe they have found the most effective, safest, and no doubt the most powerful of all diets...God. The Weigh Down Workshop enables its members to eat anything they want and in return calls for common prayer and common sense.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12 MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Gary Riggio stopped by the Bank of America in San Jose on March 5, 1996 to cash his check, nothing new for him. After all, he visited this bank up to four times a week for his employer. Then, on March 4, 1997, police pulled him from his house dressed only in his underwear, tore apart his house and arrested him for robbing the bank on the visit he made a day short of a year earlier. Riggio was identified from a bank surveillance photo shown on a local crime-stopper tv program that police later admitted was the wrong photograph. Now, Riggio is suing the San Jose police dept. for ruining his good name.
