ANNOUNCER: Live from the CNN Broadcast Center in New York, this is ANDERSON COOPER 360.

COOPER: And a good evening to you. Thanks for joining us on 360.

We begin with a courtroom shocker. A man who admitted that he killed his neighbor and chopped his body is found not guilty of murder by a Texas jury. The trial of millionaire Robert Durst -- you see him there -- has been filled with bizarre twists and turns, but today's conclusion may have been the biggest stunner of them.

Ed Lavandera has reaction from Galveston.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We the jury find the defendant Robert Durst not guilty.

ED LAVANDERA, CNN DALLAS BUREAU CHIEF (voice-over): How does a jury find a man not guilty who admits he shot his neighbor, cut up the corpse, dumped the body parts in Galveston Bay and then tried to hide from authorities? Some members of that jury tried to explain.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We all kept coming back to that original charge: was it an act of self-defense or an accident how Morris Black met his death? And that's the question that we answered in our verdict.

ROBBIE CLARAC, JUROR: We can't convict someone on our thoughts or what we think or what we perceive or what we speculate. We can't do that. We went on the facts that was presented to us from the prosecution. We cannot convict him. He is not guilty.

CHRIS LOVELL, JUROR: There were people that cried. There were people that fussed and argued.

My stomach is still knotted up. But we did the best with what we had. And whether it agreed to you all or to anyone else out there in America, this is what we came up with.

LAVANDERA: Most jurors said they did not believe much of Robert Durst's testimony. Despite that, they say, the prosecution presented too many different explanations, as to why Robert Durst would murder his neighbor.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We're going to convict Mr. Durst, but here's your reason why: A, B, C or D. Pick one and we're going to send him away. Well, that's not the way it works. Tell me, tell me what happened.

LAVANDERA: Prosecutors say they're dismayed and disappointed in the verdict, but also say the respect the jury's decision. When asked if they thought Robert Durst would be a threat whenever he gets out of jail, the prosecutor would only say...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. Durst is not going to be invited to my for any house for any reason at all.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: And Ed Lavandera joins us now. Let's talk about what happens to Robert Durst. Where does he go from here?

LAVANDERA: Well, he still is in jail here in Galveston. He's been indicted already on a bail-jumping charge. So he faces a prison sentence if convicted in that of two years to 10 years in prison. He's already served two. So perhaps, if he is convicted an he gets the stiffest sentence, he could spend just the next eight years in jail.

COOPER: All right. Ed Lavandera, thanks very much from Texas tonight.

Coming up, we'll talk with one of those jurors about how she came to decide Durst was not guilty. We'll also get some analysis of the verdict from Court TV's Lisa Bloom. That's coming up a little bit later.

Now to Iraq. More terror struck in the heart of Baghdad today. Mortars or rockets exploded once again near coalition headquarters in the heavily guarded part of the city that's known as the Green Zone. Let's go to Matthew Chance in Baghdad with the latest -- Matthew.

MATTHEW CHANCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, thank you. That series of explosions again rocked the headquarters of the coalition authority here in Baghdad, the latest indication of just how bold these anti-U.S. insurgence have become here. Coalition officials say they were forced to seek shelter at some point in their own basements as the mortar or rocket fire came down under the cover of darkness here in the Iraqi capital. There are no reports of any casualties so far, but this latest assault underscores how confident and how able these insurgents are to penetrate the security of the coalition and to strike at the heart of its operation in the Iraqi capital -- Anderson.

COOPER: And I guess, Matthew, that is the question. How were they able to penetrate that security? How were they able to strike that close to coalition headquarters again?

CHANCE: Well, they chose a method of delivery of these explosives, mortar or rocket fire, which is able, quite simply, to be fired over the security fence, the walls, the patrols that surround this very tightly-guarded and supposedly secure area in the middle of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. It's the place where Paul Bremer, the chief U.S. administrator, is located most of the time, where the main concentration of coalition officials are.

So it is a very secure area. But obviously, if you stand back from it a couple of kilometers, a couple of miles, you are able to fire in these rockets, these mortars into that location -- Anderson.

COOPER: All right. Matthew Chance, live in Baghdad. Thanks, Matthew.

In Saudi Arabia, the investigation into this weekend's terror attack continues. The key question today: did the terrorists suspected to be al Qaeda hit the wrong target, killing Arabs rather than Americans?

Nic Robertson is one of the only Western journalists in Saudi Arabia right now. He joins us from Riyadh on the videophone -- Nic.

NIC ROBERTSON, CNN SR. INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, Anderson, the latest news from here today, since the attacks, the authorities say they have rounded up a number of suspects, people they believe belong to al Qaeda and were involved in the attack. And also, a Saudi political weekly magazine publishing for the first time a statement from al Qaeda saying that they were responsible for the attack on the compound over the weekend. This newspaper normally -- this political magazine normally reliable when it's done this in the past -- Anderson.

COOPER: Nic, the Saudi government, I believe, released a statement saying that al Qaeda may have hit the wrong target thinking they were attacking Americans. What do you know about this?

ROBERTSON: That's what they say. They say they have interrogated people. These al Qaeda people that they have interrogated told them, well, what do you mean there were Arabs there? They thought they were Americans.

The reason Saudi authorities are saying that they think al Qaeda may have made a mistake here is because Saudi authorities say recently they have arrested some of the top echelon al Qaeda members. They believe there's sort of a second tier out there now who are not as experienced. They made a bad judgment or had bad intelligence when they attacked this particular compound.

They say that these al Qaeda members now perhaps in a mode of use it or lose it, fearing that they could be being picked on, that they could be under pressure. Younger people less experienced making mistakes, and that's why Saudi authorities are saying that through this interrogation they have learned that al Qaeda may have made a mistake, thinking it was Americans in this compound, not Arabs. And that is through lack of experience because the Saudis pushed the point they are making gains against al Qaeda here.

COOPER: All right. Nic Robertson live in Saudi Arabia. Thanks, Nic.

In another battleground of terror, Afghanistan. Today, more violence. A car bomb in Kandahar that exploded near two United Nations offices just minutes after both closed for the day. Now, at least one person was hurt. Local police blame the Taliban and al Qaeda for that attack.

Also from Afghanistan, the Arab television network Al Arabiya broadcast video of what it says are Taliban fighters clashing with U.S. troops. Hard to tell from this video. Not clear when or where in Afghanistan the fighting occurred. Also shown on Al Arabiya, a Taliban spokesman who said their forces have reorganized, and he also said Muslims should pray for victory over the U.S.

Well, U.S. troops in danger. Their sacrifice saluted by President Bush on this Veterans Day. In ceremonies today, the nation's commander-in-chief honored troops past and present, and again vowed the U.S. will prevail in Iraq.

CNN White House correspondent Dana Bash reports.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DANA BASH, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the president lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns, honors 19 million living veterans and those still serving.

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: They have liberated two nations, Afghanistan and Iraq.

BASH: Beyond the commemoration, urgency about Iraq and a detailed defense of his policy. The president accused al Qaeda- affiliated groups seeking revenge are forming an alliance with Saddam loyalists to kill U.S. troops.

BUSH: Recent reporting suggests that despite their differences, these killers are working together to spread chaos and terror and fear.

BASH: Sources say that information is part of a new report detailing the scope and source of the attacks on the ground, and was discussed at hastily-arranged White House meetings with Iraqi Civil Administrator Paul Bremer and top national security officials.

Nearly 400 service men came back from Iraq not as veterans, but casualties of war. Thirty-eight from Iraq buried at Arlington National Cemetery, including Captain John Robert Teal, laid to rest just last week, killed by a roadside bomb northeast of Baghdad.

EMMY TEAL, SON KILLED IN IRAQ: And he said, "There's only one thing I want to make real clear, and it's in my will. I want to buried at Arlington in my full dress uniform, full military honors.

BASH: Captain Teal's mother, Emmy, received a sympathy letter Mr. Bush sends to families of all who die.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

BASH: And Anderson, the White House is taking a serious look at its post-war plan, political plan in Iraq. Paul Bremer is scheduled to come back to the White House tomorrow morning for a full National Security Council meeting. And officials say they hope to make some decisions on whether the Iraqi Governing Council is going to meet its December 15 deadline to set a timetable for elections or whether if they're moving too slow, if they're too ineffective, they need to search for an alternative plan -- Anderson.

COOPER: All right. We'll report on that tomorrow. Dana Bash, thanks very much at the White House.

We are following a number of other stories for you. Let's take a look "Cross Country."

Newark, New Jersey: Wal-Mart suit. Some workers arrested as illegal immigrants during last month's Wal-Mart raids, well, they have filed a racketeering lawsuit against the company. They claim the retailer took advantage of their illegal status to deny them overtime pay and worker's compensation. Wal-Mart says that claim is without merit.

Jackson, New Jersey: tiger hunt. After a long legal battle, authorities have removed 24 Bengal tigers from a private animal reserve outside Trenton. Officials say the preserve run by a woman who has been dubbed "The Tiger Lady" was substandard and frankly unhealthy.

Orlando, Florida: taking it to heart. Defibrillators are not just for hospitals anymore. Doctors say they should be placed in shopping malls and office buildings as well. A new study suggests that when defibrillators are located in public spaces, and people are trained to use them, they can actually double the survival chances of heart attack victims.

Chester, Connecticut: a comedy legend's exit. Actor Art Carney has died. Carney won a best actor Oscar for the 1974 movie "Harry and Tonto." But he was, of course, best known for his role as Ed Norton, playing opposite Jackie Gleason in the classic "Honeymooners" TV series. Art Carney was 85 years old.

And that's a look at stories "Cross Country" tonight.

Our special series "Sleepless in America" continues with a look at what some say is a war between two basic human needs: sleep versus sex. Find out why so many of us would frankly rather get some shuteye.

Also tonight, how quickly we forget one of the most political custody battles in history. We'll take you to Cuba to see how Elian Gonzales is doing today.

Plus, Rosie O'Donnell's trial. We'll take a closer look at her PR offensive.

First, let's take a look "Inside the Box" at tonight's top stories on the network evening newscasts.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Well, some new developments in Chesapeake, Virginia, where jury selection in the trial of 18-year-old sniper suspect Lee Malvo began yesterday. Today, for the first time, Malvo has critical things to say about the man he once reportedly referred to as dad, the other sniper suspect, John Muhammad.

Jeanne Meserve is covering the trial. She has the latest -- Jeanne.

JEANNE MESERVE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, first, a few statistics. Fifteen women, 13 men, 20 Caucasians, seven African- Americans, one Asian. That is the profile of the 28-person jury pool that has been selected here with amazing speed. Tomorrow, the prosecution will strike six, so will the defense, leaving us with a jury of 12 and four alternates.

Now, Malvo is described by his attorneys as generally doing well, but "obviously nervous" and with a new attitude towards John Muhammad.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's an angry position.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Angry?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Angry at Mr. Muhammad.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Why? What did he say?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, thank you, but I can't answer that.

(END VIDEO CLIP) MESERVE: The backgrounds of Muhammad and Malvo and the relationship between the two men will be the nature of Cooley's (ph) opening statement, which is scheduled now for Thursday. Malvo was in the courtroom again today wearing a blue crew neck sweater looking very youthful, eating candy provided by his defense team, and sketching.

One of the courtroom artists got a look at what he was doing. He apparently has been drawing pictures of some of the court personnel, acting sort of as his own courtroom artist.

Now, tomorrow, the defense in the John Muhammad case will begin. His lawyers have been playing things very close to the vest, but they have said that laying out the defense could take two days, maybe even less than that -- Anderson.

COOPER: Moving quickly. All right. Jeanne Meserve, thanks very much tonight.

The latest round in the Ten Commandments courtroom battle begins tomorrow with hearings on possible sanctions against suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore. Now, Moore moved a Ten Commandments monument into the state judicial building. You probably remember that. He defied a federal court order to move it out.

CNN's Brian Cabell has the latest.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

BRIAN CABELL, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): To his critics, Roy Moore is a grand standing demagogue. To his supporters, he's a man of principle willing to jeopardize his job in defense of a greater cause.

ROY MOORE, ALABAMA CHIEF JUSTICE: This is not about a monument. It's not about a religion. It's not about a person. It's about whether or not the state can acknowledge god.

CABELL: Moore installed the 5,300-pound monument in the rotunda of the judicial building two years ago, but then refused a federal district judge's order to remove it. The judge ruled the monument, inscribed with the Ten Commandments and 14 other religious quotations, was an unconstitutional promotion of religion in a government building. Moore, backed at times by thousands of supporters on the steps of the judicial building, openly defied the federal judge's order, but it was eventually removed August 27. Now, he'll face trial before the court of the judiciary.

RICHARD COHEN, SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER: The truth of the matter is the case is open and shut. The canons of ethics say you have to uphold and respect the law. Moore said I'm going to defy the law. It doesn't get clearer than that.

CABELL: The court of the judiciary could remove him from office, suspend him, reprimand him or exonerate him. Some observers believe he has higher political ambitions, perhaps the governorship or the Senate.

What's undeniable is his popularity. Polls in recent months indicated three out of four people agree with him that the Ten Commandments belong on public property.

Brian Cabell, CNN, Montgomery, Alabama.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: We are following a number of international stories for you right now. Let's check tonight's "UpLink."

London: honoring war dead. It is still called Armistice Day in Europe, the day World War I ended. And in London, Queen Elizabeth unveiled a memorial for Australia's dead from the two world wars. Australian Prime Minister John Howard joined the queen and a silent crowd of 3,000 at High Park.

Dominican Republic: strike turns deadly. Three people are reported killed, and at least 10 wounded in clashes with police and strikers in several cities. Labor unions and social activists called today's work stoppage to protest government economical (UNINTELLIGIBLE) policies.

Israel: don't try this at home or, frankly, anywhere else. Stunt man Victor Raviav (ph) is the new Guinness World Record holder for supporting the most weight while lying on a bed of nails. An assistant piled 719 pounds of concrete on to him and then shattered it with a sledgehammer. There you go. He apparently is all right.

That is tonight's "UpLink."

Elian Gonzales three years later. We're going to take you to his hometown in Cuba. Find out how he is doing today.

Also tonight, Rosie O'Donnell's $100 million battle. For some, the show outside the courtroom has been almost as interesting as the legal maneuvering inside.

Also ahead, our weeklong series, "Sleepless in America." Tonight, the power of napping and a nightly war between getting sex or getting sleep.

First, tonight's buzz. Would you rather have more sleep or more sex in your life? Vote now, cnn.com/360. The results at the end of the program.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Well, we continue tonight with our weeklong series "Sleepless in America." George Costanza was clearly on to something in that "Seinfeld" episode where he turned his desk at work into kind of a nest for napping. There's evidence that naps can make us more productive, but George's boss didn't go for it. And if the new studies are right, your boss probably will not go for it either.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER (voice-over): In nursery schools, sometimes the only thing standing between a 4-year-old and a temper tantrum is a good nap. A few years ago, the grown-up world seemed to understand this. Adult power napping was briefly all the rage. Nap rooms popped up across corporate America.

In 2001, according to a study, 48 percent of companies allowed employees to nap during breaks. Now, only 21 percent of companies do. The drop has forced some workers to become covert nappers.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I have a pillow at my desk, in the file cabinet.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There's a small empty room where I work where I can go and there's like a couch.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I sleep in my truck.

COOPER: These nappers may be on to something. Recent research out of Harvard suggests that napping may actually increase a person's ability to learn. But if you're going to nap at work, experts have a couple of recommendations.

Try to mimic home sleeping conditions. Remove your watch. Use adequate head support. And don't sleep more than 30 minutes.

Your boss may not leave believe it, but grabbing 40 winks may actually improve your productivity. That is, as long as you remember to set an alarm clock.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: Well, the subject of sleep had the office buzzing today. Actually, it was the subject of the war between sleep and sex that had people talking. Whether it's because of your kids or simply your hectic lifestyles, some couples find themselves having to choose to have more sleep or more sex.

We're joined now by Bob Berkowitz, host of the program "Naked New York" and contributing editor at "Complete Woman" magazine. And in Chicago, sex therapist, Dr. Laura Berman, director of The Berman Center. Appreciate both of you joining us.

Dr. Berman, let me start off with you. I mean, do you hear this from a lot of couples, sort of this war between sex and sleep?

LAURA BERMAN, SEX THERAPIST: Absolutely. And for many people, sleep is the sex of this century. It's, in many cases, something that's chosen over sex. Couples are overtaxed and overworked. Women are now working outside the home and managing the family, and they find themselves together at the end of the day once the kids are asleep and the laundry is done and the lunches are made for the next day, just ready to pass out, and with very little energy to put toward having sex.

COOPER: Bob, do you hear this a lot? I mean, do you have to choose, I guess?

BOB BERKOWITZ, "COMPLETE WOMAN" MAGAZINE: No, I don't think you have to choose, number one. I think we can make time for both. They're both very important.

Obviously, you need sleep to function in the world and society, but we also need sex. It's important for our relationships, it's important for our sense of self, it's important for our health, even. I think, you know, you don't have to choose both.

I think part of the problem is that we too narrowly define sex as just intercourse. Once you broaden the definition, it could be touching, massage, taking a bath together. I think, suddenly, it doesn't become so daunting. It doesn't become so, I don't know, energy draining. The whole idea, oh, my god, we have to have sex tonight.

COOPER: Laura, what do you recommend to your clients? I mean, how to make the choice?

BERMAN: I think Bob makes a very crucial point. Also, that sex doesn't have to be an hour-long acrobatic activity every time. Quickies can do great things for keeping a couple together, changing your schedule.

I sometimes tell couples to even set an alarm in the middle of the night, where they still can get more sleep afterwards, and maybe they feel more refreshed and less exhausted. Or have sex in the morning, or try an illicit meeting in the afternoon from time to time. But don't get so caught up in the idea that sex has to happen at night, that sex always has to be hours long. But it is very important to try to hold on to that in a relationship because it's a central part of the intimacy and the connection.

COOPER: Bob, I don't want to fall into any cliches or stereotypes, but do you think men react to this question differently than women?

BERKOWITZ: I think we're all exhausted. There was a cover story not too long ago on "Newsweek." They said that married couples aren't having sex. "Sexless in America" I think was the headline.

And I think it's because we're all distracted with going online, walking down the street eating pizza, being on our cell phones, and we're not taking time for what's important in life. Sleep certainly is important. So is sex.

So is being with our families. So is being with our kids. Let's prioritize our time. Let's not be in the mall and watch television. Forgive me, too much.

COOPER: All right. Except for this program. Laura, a final thought from you?

BERMAN: I think that that's a great point. And make time for sex. Make time for yoru relationship set that time aside. Not only for the relationship, but for yourself, as well, because if you each replenish your own lives and your own identities as men as women separate from just being mothers and fathers, then it's going to do a lot to give you the energy you need to sustain your sex life and make sleep a priority.

COOPER: All right. Laura Berman, Bob Berkowitz, thanks very much. It was great. Thank you.

BERMAN: Sure.

COOPER: That leads us to today's buzz. Would you rather have more sleep or more sex in your life? Vote now, cnn.com/360. We'll have the results at the end of the program.

And our series "Sleepless in America" continues all this week. Tomorrow, some fascinating innovations by the military that could one day make sleeping pills a thing of the past.

Thursday, what happens when sleep is one long nightmare? We're going to go inside the world of sleep disorders.

And on Friday, a night at a sleep clinic. Could it work for you? I'll let you know if it worked for me.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER (voice-over): For Rosie O'Donnell, even during the trial the show must go on.

How Robert Durst confessed to a grizzly killing but convinced a jury he's not guilty.

And why the brutal British tabloids are backing off.

We'll be right back.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Time for "The Reset." Some of the top stories.

Washington, D.C., Army airliners, home security officials say they're reviewing proposals from several companies that want to develop anti-missile defense systems for commercial airliners. The systems would protect them from shoulder-held missiles fired by terrorists. The implementation is believed to be years away.

Arlington, Virginia, veterans are honored. President Bush's marked Veterans Day with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington. While his remarks honored all fighting men and women, Mr. Bush directed special attention to U.S. military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Washington, D.C., campaign crisis: one day after presidential candidate John Kerry fired his campaign manager, Kerry's press secretary and a deputy finance secretary resigned. Kerry trails fellow New Englander Howard Dean going into the important New Hampshire primary.

Fort Collins, Colorado, evacuations ordered: crews battling a 100-acre wild fire in Larimer County, Colorado. No injuries are reported. At least one subdivision has been evacuated.

Las Vegas, Nevada, domestic discord, Christian Slater with 20 stitches for a cut on the head after apparent dispute with his wife, television producer Ryan Haddon. Police say Haddon hit him with a drinking glass during a fight. She has arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge. And that is "The Reset" for tonight.

Justice served now. Today, after several difficult days of deliberation, the jury in the Robert Durst murder trial reached a verdict and many found the verdict shocking.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We the jury find the defendant Robert Durst not guilty.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

COOPER: The eccentric millionaire acquitted today even though he confessed he dismembered the victim's body. You might be asking what was jury thinking? Well, I spoke with a jury a short time ago.

Robbie Clarac is in Galveston, Texas.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: Robbie, the defense asked you, asked the jurors to separate the killing of this man, Mr. Black , from the dismemberment of him. Were you able to do that. Was that tough to do?

ROBBIE CLARAC, DURST TRIAL JUROR: It was very tough to do. And in the end, we had to with the charges that we were given at closing arguments when they read us the charges of what we would be considering, and it was just on the murder charge, we looked at the dismemberment and the to totality, but we had to keep going back to the charges that we're only here to charge him for murder and we had to know whether it was intentional, knowingly or with intent to do that. And, with everything that was presented to us, it wasn't disproved that it wasn't self defense. So, with that reason of doubt...

COOPER: Was there one thing that led you to that reason of doubt or was it just looking at the Prosecutions case in totality, and saying, you know what, there's still reasonable doubt?

CLARAC: It was looking at the prosecution's case and in the totality of it, because when we got into the jury room, we had a lot of discussion, and we built a time line just based on the facts that were given to us on a prosecution as far as cell phone records and airline reservations and receipts that were presented to us just from prosecution, we made a time line that made around the whole room. And it based on that, there was so much reasonable doubt that it wasn't proven that it wasn't murder that...

COOPER: Let me ask you this. Do you feel at this point that you know what went on in that room between Morris Black and Robert Durst?

CLARAC: Honestly, I have no idea. But it wasn't -- it wasn't proven to us, either, that anybody knows what happened in that room with Robert Durst and Morris Black.

COOPER: So I guess the question, and I imagine the question you are going to be getting a lot from friends and neighbors and stuff is, all right, you said he's not guilty.

Do you believe he's innocent?

CLARAC: I believe he's not guilty on the murder for the facts that we had.

COOPER: Business that's really the choice you had to make, between...

CLARAC: That's...

COOPER: Finding him guilty of murder or not guilty. Nothing in between.

CLARAC: Right. Nothing in between.

COOPER: What was the toughest thing for you?

Was there one day in particular?

Was there one piece of evidence you couldn't get over for a while?

CLARAC: In the beginning, of when we saw the photos of the dismembered body of Morris Black that was very, very hard. And I will always remember those pictures. But, we were not here to judge him on that. And that's what we had to get past. We had to get on to the charge that was given was the murder charge.

COOPER: I know it's the first time serving on a jury, an unbelievable trial for your first time. Appreciate you telling us your experiences. Thank you, Robbie.

CLARAC: No problem.

COOPER: And Lisa Bloom of Court TV said she was shocked by the verdict. I believe the term she used was biggest shock of trial coverage in 2003. That's what you told the producer earlier.

LISA BLOOM, COURT TV: It's true.

COOPER: Why such a shock?

BLOOMS: Well, it's just an absolute shock because of the facts of the case. Because he admitted to killing his neighbor and admitted to chopping up the body and throwing it in Galveston Bay.

COOPER: You heard from one of the juries. They said, look, the prosecution basically did not prove their case.

BLOOMS: Well, the prosecution proved that those two events happened. Now, most juries in most jurisdictions would be advised of that guilt may occur when that chopping up of the body occurred, and when he took off in flight, ran from the law. That instruction was not given in Texas to this jury. They were not told to consider that. And the defense from the beginning told them, keep these two events separate. The killing and the chopping up of the body. The jury apparently believed that, did that. They kept the two issues separate and came back with this not guilty verdict.

COOPER: I mean, what the prosecution looking at tonight?

Are they just completely thinking they blew it?

I mean, are they reviewing the case?

What did they do wrong?

BLOOM: I think honestly, Anderson, they have to be in as much shock as the rest of us who has followed this case.

They have to be going home and say what on earth happened here?

One of the big mistake they made was not giving lesser included offenses to the jury. The jury didn't have an consideration except murder.

COOPER: They to go for murder or nothing?

BLOOM: Murder or nothing. There was not even an abuse of corpse charge given to this jury.

COOPER: Why would they do that, though?

BLOOM: Well, the prosecution said today that would only be an one-year misdemeanor charge. They didn't think it was significant enough. They went all or nothing. That was the gamble they choose to do. No manslaughter, no criminal negligence. Nothing except murder. It was an all or nothing gamble and they came back with nothing.

COOPER: And there's double jeopardy. There's no retrying this thing if they suddenly discover the head of Morris Black, which has still not found, it doesn't matter?

BLOOM: That's right.

There's no appeal for the prosecution. Once he's found to be not guilty, not guilty, it is he walks free, assuming he gets free on the bail jumping charge.

COOPER: All right, Lisa Bloom thanks very much.

BLOOM: Thank you.

COOPER: Another closely watched trial nears its conclusion. A civil court drama staring Rosie O'Donnell. A judge will ultimately decide who's responsible for the collapse of her magazine. There are millions at stake. O'Donnell also realizes she faces the court of public opinion. Now, every day, outside the court house, she has stepped in front of the cameras to tell her side of the story.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ROSE O'DONNELL, ENTERTAINER: Turn and wave. My name is Rosie O'Donnell. I know what I stand for. I own the name. I created it. I will always own the name. No corporate entity can sue a person and take away their name and try to scare them into bad headlines the post.

That was scary.

How do you feel this morning, Miss O'Donnell?

A lot better, thank you.

Are you nervous today?

No. It's -- seems to be going well.

And, do you think you're going to win?

Yes, I do.

The CEO said he would ruin me. Well, the trial is not over yet. We'll see who's standing at the end. I'm going to the end. It's not about money. It's about principle and morals.

I have tried every day up until this moment to settle this case. And they have no desire to do so. So here we are.

Turn on the news and what do you see?

Scott Peterson that killed his wife, Robert Blake that may have killed his wife and then me. What did I do? I'm fat. I yell. And I sometimes say the f-word and I'm being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Justice (UNINTELLIGIBLE) is a very wise man. And I believe on Wednesday he will have some sort of a decision and that will be a very good day.

I stop everyday, don't worry. I'm coming back tomorrow.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: The P.R. battle continues. So does the trial. It resumes tomorrow. May be the last day of testimony.

Still to come this evening, one huge factor that is damaging your productivity at work? Here's a hint -- it is all in your head. We'll check in with Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

Also tonight, why Britain's scandal mill is running out of steam on the rumors trailing Prince Charles.

And a little later, the greats of rock n roll, seen through the lens of legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz. She gives us a tour of her latest photos.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Ah, "How Quickly We Forget." Each Tuesday, we like to look at a story we, the media, once couldn't get enough of, but which we've long since forgotten about.

This week, the emotional custody battle over a little boy from Cuba. Remember Elian Gonzalez?

CNN's Havana bureau chief, Lucia Newman, tells us what he is up to now.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

LUCIA NEWMAN, CNN HAVANA BUREAU CHIEF (voice-over): You may not recognize the face of this 9-year-old, but you should. Three years ago, Elian Gonzalez, the little Cuban rafter who got caught in one of history's most politically charged custody battles, became a household word around the world, taken at gunpoint from his Miami relatives to be returned to his father.

In Cuba, Elian's face was everywhere. On posters, and marches, demanding he be returned home.

Today, in his hometown of Cardenas (ph), as in the rest of Cuba, there isn't a trace left of all of that.

So to find out a little more, we went back to Cardenas, first, to talk to his Great Aunt Olga.

"Elian is doing great," said Aunt Olga. "He's living with his father and his stepmother. They have a nice house. He's going to school. And he loves going to parties."

We went to the local barbershop to see what they knew of Elian.

"He's like any normal kid," said this customer. "He still goes to the same school. And I always see him go past my house on the way to karate class."

(on camera): Returning to Cardenas doesn't mean, though, returning to normal, especially for Elian's father, Juan Miguel, who, whether he likes it or not, has very much become a public and political figure here in Cuba.

(voice-over): Gonzalez still works as a waiter at a well-known tourist center. But he's now also a member of Cuba's National Assembly, a constant symbol of what Cuba considers one of its major political victories.

He declined to be interviewed on camera. But at a recent rally, he did tell us Elian was happy and well adjusted. Perhaps he is, although the fact that he was here in the front row, just yards away from Cuba's leader, is proof that Elian Gonzalez is still more than just an ordinary boy.

Lucia Newman, CNN, Cardenas, Cuba.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: Well, want to turn now to some health news.

Those headaches you face on the job are also a big pain for the boss. And the thing is, hitting the medicine cabinet might actually do more harm than good.

CNN's medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta explains.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It's a pain, radiating, pulsing or throbbing in your head.

DR. CHRISTINE LAY, ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL: Headaches are very common. Probably in this country alone, if you look at migraines, are nearly 28 million Americans with migraines.

GUPTA: It's also a pain for employers. A Journal of the American Association says headaches topped the list of pain conditions stunting employees' productivity.

LAY: And it's not just on the basis of absenteeism, or someone has a bad headache and doesn't feel like going to work. It's much more on the basis, probably three out of four times, as a result of people trying to stick it out at work but unable to function at their best capacity.

GUPTA: Headache pain among workers caused a loss of $61.2 billion. Seventy-seven percent of that lost time not from missed days, but from low productivity.

And the so-called cure could also be a culprit. Doctors say headache sufferers often overmedicate, making them sluggish at work or causing rebound headaches.

LAY: And what happens to them is the more medication they take, the more headaches they have and the less effective the medication becomes.

GUPTA: There are many treatments for headaches, including over- the-counter remedies and prescription medications such as tripdans (ph).

They may be beneficial for you, and your employer.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: Sanjay joins us now.

Of course, I mean, there's so many treatment options, as you say. Is there a danger that people are mixing medications?

GUPTA: Yes. I mean, there certainly is a danger of that. Keep in mind, it's very unusual for someone to need these medications longterm to treat these things. Check the labels, because a lot of the same active ingredients can be found in both prescription as well the over the counter.

Lots of tips out there to try and prevent headaches at work. I mean, that's the big thing, obviously. Options such as, I mean, make sure there's good lighting in the office place. The ergonomic office design. I mean, getting a good chair, making sure your neck is not bending at that computer. That can be important. Exercise regularly. Don't skip meals.

And also, keep really well-hydrated. Almost the No. 1 cause of chronic headaches at work.

COOPER: Oh really?

GUPTA: Yes.

(CROSSTALK)

COOPER: All right. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, thanks.

GUPTA: Good to see you.

COOPER: Well, the latest details on the details we can't tell you about what Prince Charles apparently didn't do. Did you get that?

Also, tonight, the rock star who's instrument is a camera. She's made rock history and made history out of rock. We'll get a close-up look.

Stay with us.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Rumors swirling around Britain's Prince Charles have caused quite a stir in the U.K. We haven't been able to tell you much about them, but now it seems many papers in Britain are losing interest fast. Gaven Morris reports from London.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

GAVEN MORRIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A royal storm perhaps running out of puff? For 10 days, Britain's Prince Charles has been pursued, the papers here full of speculation and innuendo to that claim by a former valet of a sexual incident involving the prince and another servant. Now, with legal restricts still barring any mention of the details, the press is moving on. Some papers now say they believe the story they've been covering wasn't true anyway. Prince Charles certainly strenuously denies the allegations. Many supporters are speaking out, too.

DICKIE ARBITER, FORMER ROYAL PRESS SECRETARY: Any sensible, thinking person would know that these allegations, which most people know about now, are completely untrue.

MORRIS: Now, attention is turning to the man that made the claim, former valet George Smith. Royal officials have questioned his reliability, pointing out his battles with alcohol and depression. And appearing on CNN, Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, says George Smith is his friend, but he won't vouch for his story.

DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: So you consider him to be a credible source?

PAUL BURRELL, FORMER DIANA'S BUTLER: I think he is a very nice man, yes, but...

KAGAN: There are lots of nice men, but it doesn't mean that they tell the truth.

BURRELL: That's true, true. We don't know, do we? It's just speculation. And George has told his story. It isn't actually evidence because there's nothing to corroborate that.

MORRIS: With no plans to speak out or seek legal action, Prince Charles can now only wait for this scandal to subside and hope there's nothing more to come.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

MORRIS: It's worth bearing in mind, Anderson, that this whole claim comes from one man and cannot be really spoken about or verified. The whole story has taken on a life of its own, and just now it seems like after two weeks of constant rumoring, it might just be starting to ebb away -- Anderson.

COOPER: All right. Gaven Morris in London. Thanks very much, Gaven.

A couple of other odds and ends from the world of pop culture, let's check "The Current."

"TV Guide" is raising its price by 50 cents to $2.49. To make up for it, we're going to give you some help with their crossword. For 31 across, the blank couple, the answer is odd. 31 across, the answer is odd.

Spike TV will hold its first video game awards in Las Vegas next month. Although Spike TV bills itself as the network for men, the event will for some reason be hosted for comedian David Spade, who actually qualifies as more of a man child. At least some people think that.

A strange coincidence to report. Christina Aguilera has come down with acute bronchitis, this just days after Britney Spears caught a case of the flu. It is not true where the two might have caught their simultaneous ailments. Hmm.

One person who has had their finger on the pop culture current for decades now is famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. She is returning to her rock' n' roll roots with "American Music," new photos showing now at Seattle's Experience Music Project. She gave us a tour.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ, PHOTOGRAPHER: I have always thought of my work as at the very least being documents of our time.

I think what's so great about this project is, you know, I knew it was a project, especially with musicians. I mean, they have a relationship with their music. They're not so interested in, you know, what image they're projecting.

When Norah Jones walked into my studio, and it was the morning after she won the Grammys and she had on a, you know, a knit cap and she was wearing her glasses. And no hair and makeup, let's just take this picture. Because I thought the little girl was going to be going away. You know? It wouldn't be there, you know, forever.

Mos Def, the great poet, and he said his favorite song is his grandmother's laugh. I found myself very drawn to the families that contribute to music. The Cashes, you would have your Shania Twains or your Dixie Chicks without someone like Roseanne Cash.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You've got the icons of Aretha Franklin, juxtaposed with a missionary Baptist church.

LEIBOVITZ: Right. That is the thread of American music. That's the weave of it, is that it's everything, it's all of that.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: That was photographer Annie Leibovitz. The exhibit, American Music, is also the name of her new book of rock 'n' roll photos.

Well, today is Veterans' Day, as you know. So what does that mean to you? Is it more than parades and ceremonies? We will talk about that coming up.

Plus, tomorrow, our series on sleep continues with a look at what the military has been doing that could make sleeping pills a thing of the past.

First, today's buzz, would you rather have more sleep or more sex in your life? Vote now, at cnn.com/360. Results when we come back.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Time now for the buzz. We asked you, would you rather have more sleep or more sex in your life? Thirty-four percent said sleep; 66 percent voted sex. This is not a scientific poll, just viewer buzz.

Now to some of your instant feedback. I misspoke twice during last night's program, using the word "depravity" instead of "deprivation" and "mascular" (ph) instead of "macular." Clearly, I've been sleeping -- a little sleep deprived myself.

We got a lot of e-mails like this one. Brenda from Maine wrote: "Depravity! Depravity? Me thinks you gotta cavity. 'Tis where your brain's supposed to be! Your journalists make me so annoyed, why the hell were you employed?" Very clever. Thank you. My apologies. Clearly, sleeplessness has gone to my head. Send us your instant feedback any time. Log on to cnn.com/360.

Today it seems fitting to take serving your country to "The Nth Degree." Whether you agree with the politics of every conflict, the fact remains an estimated 19 million Americans served their country in combat during the Gulf War, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, World War II and World War I. And that's about 13 percent of the population. And the war on terror, the fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq is adding to those ranks every day.

So, if you've ever felt powerless in this war on terror, if you've ever wished there was something you could do, consider this day, the parades, the ceremonies, a reminder that there is, in fact, something you can do. Lots of things you can do.

Support veterans' causes. Volunteer. Donate. Because, yeah, it is true there's no way America can ever repay the debt owed to its veterans, but we can certainly try, and maybe one way to start is by thinking of Veterans' Day as a day to reflect not just on what veterans have done for us, but also on what we can do for them.

That wraps up our program tonight. Coming up next, "PAULA ZAHN NOW."

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
ANDERSON COOPER, HOST (voice-over): Mortars strike in one of the coalition's most secure zones.

Robert Durst admits to a grizzly killing, and a jury says, not guilty.

The royal rumor: why the London tabloids are now backing off.

Torn between two countries: a rare glimpse at the new life of Elian Gonzales.

Migraines at work: how the common cure can actually be the culprit.

And our special series "Sleepless in America." Tonight, why some say sleep is better than sex.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ANNOUNCER: Live from the CNN Broadcast Center in New York, this is ANDERSON COOPER 360.

COOPER: And a good evening to you. Thanks for joining us on 360.

We begin with a courtroom shocker. A man who admitted that he killed his neighbor and chopped his body is found not guilty of murder by a Texas jury. The trial of millionaire Robert Durst -- you see him there -- has been filled with bizarre twists and turns, but today's conclusion may have been the biggest stunner of them.

Ed Lavandera has reaction from Galveston.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We the jury find the defendant Robert Durst not guilty.

ED LAVANDERA, CNN DALLAS BUREAU CHIEF (voice-over): How does a jury find a man not guilty who admits he shot his neighbor, cut up the corpse, dumped the body parts in Galveston Bay and then tried to hide from authorities? Some members of that jury tried to explain.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We all kept coming back to that original charge: was it an act of self-defense or an accident how Morris Black met his death? And that's the question that we answered in our verdict.

ROBBIE CLARAC, JUROR: We can't convict someone on our thoughts or what we think or what we perceive or what we speculate. We can't do that. We went on the facts that was presented to us from the prosecution. We cannot convict him. He is not guilty.

CHRIS LOVELL, JUROR: There were people that cried. There were people that fussed and argued.

My stomach is still knotted up. But we did the best with what we had. And whether it agreed to you all or to anyone else out there in America, this is what we came up with.

LAVANDERA: Most jurors said they did not believe much of Robert Durst's testimony. Despite that, they say, the prosecution presented too many different explanations, as to why Robert Durst would murder his neighbor.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We're going to convict Mr. Durst, but here's your reason why: A, B, C or D. Pick one and we're going to send him away. Well, that's not the way it works. Tell me, tell me what happened.

LAVANDERA: Prosecutors say they're dismayed and disappointed in the verdict, but also say the respect the jury's decision. When asked if they thought Robert Durst would be a threat whenever he gets out of jail, the prosecutor would only say...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. Durst is not going to be invited to my for any house for any reason at all.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: And Ed Lavandera joins us now. Let's talk about what happens to Robert Durst. Where does he go from here?

LAVANDERA: Well, he still is in jail here in Galveston. He's been indicted already on a bail-jumping charge. So he faces a prison sentence if convicted in that of two years to 10 years in prison. He's already served two. So perhaps, if he is convicted an he gets the stiffest sentence, he could spend just the next eight years in jail.

COOPER: All right. Ed Lavandera, thanks very much from Texas tonight.

Coming up, we'll talk with one of those jurors about how she came to decide Durst was not guilty. We'll also get some analysis of the verdict from Court TV's Lisa Bloom. That's coming up a little bit later.

Now to Iraq. More terror struck in the heart of Baghdad today. Mortars or rockets exploded once again near coalition headquarters in the heavily guarded part of the city that's known as the Green Zone. Let's go to Matthew Chance in Baghdad with the latest -- Matthew.

MATTHEW CHANCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, thank you. That series of explosions again rocked the headquarters of the coalition authority here in Baghdad, the latest indication of just how bold these anti-U.S. insurgence have become here. Coalition officials say they were forced to seek shelter at some point in their own basements as the mortar or rocket fire came down under the cover of darkness here in the Iraqi capital. There are no reports of any casualties so far, but this latest assault underscores how confident and how able these insurgents are to penetrate the security of the coalition and to strike at the heart of its operation in the Iraqi capital -- Anderson.

COOPER: And I guess, Matthew, that is the question. How were they able to penetrate that security? How were they able to strike that close to coalition headquarters again?

CHANCE: Well, they chose a method of delivery of these explosives, mortar or rocket fire, which is able, quite simply, to be fired over the security fence, the walls, the patrols that surround this very tightly-guarded and supposedly secure area in the middle of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. It's the place where Paul Bremer, the chief U.S. administrator, is located most of the time, where the main concentration of coalition officials are.

So it is a very secure area. But obviously, if you stand back from it a couple of kilometers, a couple of miles, you are able to fire in these rockets, these mortars into that location -- Anderson.

COOPER: All right. Matthew Chance, live in Baghdad. Thanks, Matthew.

In Saudi Arabia, the investigation into this weekend's terror attack continues. The key question today: did the terrorists suspected to be al Qaeda hit the wrong target, killing Arabs rather than Americans?

Nic Robertson is one of the only Western journalists in Saudi Arabia right now. He joins us from Riyadh on the videophone -- Nic.

NIC ROBERTSON, CNN SR. INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, Anderson, the latest news from here today, since the attacks, the authorities say they have rounded up a number of suspects, people they believe belong to al Qaeda and were involved in the attack. And also, a Saudi political weekly magazine publishing for the first time a statement from al Qaeda saying that they were responsible for the attack on the compound over the weekend. This newspaper normally -- this political magazine normally reliable when it's done this in the past -- Anderson.

COOPER: Nic, the Saudi government, I believe, released a statement saying that al Qaeda may have hit the wrong target thinking they were attacking Americans. What do you know about this?

ROBERTSON: That's what they say. They say they have interrogated people. These al Qaeda people that they have interrogated told them, well, what do you mean there were Arabs there? They thought they were Americans.

The reason Saudi authorities are saying that they think al Qaeda may have made a mistake here is because Saudi authorities say recently they have arrested some of the top echelon al Qaeda members. They believe there's sort of a second tier out there now who are not as experienced. They made a bad judgment or had bad intelligence when they attacked this particular compound.

They say that these al Qaeda members now perhaps in a mode of use it or lose it, fearing that they could be being picked on, that they could be under pressure. Younger people less experienced making mistakes, and that's why Saudi authorities are saying that through this interrogation they have learned that al Qaeda may have made a mistake, thinking it was Americans in this compound, not Arabs. And that is through lack of experience because the Saudis pushed the point they are making gains against al Qaeda here.

COOPER: All right. Nic Robertson live in Saudi Arabia. Thanks, Nic.

In another battleground of terror, Afghanistan. Today, more violence. A car bomb in Kandahar that exploded near two United Nations offices just minutes after both closed for the day. Now, at least one person was hurt. Local police blame the Taliban and al Qaeda for that attack.

Also from Afghanistan, the Arab television network Al Arabiya broadcast video of what it says are Taliban fighters clashing with U.S. troops. Hard to tell from this video. Not clear when or where in Afghanistan the fighting occurred. Also shown on Al Arabiya, a Taliban spokesman who said their forces have reorganized, and he also said Muslims should pray for victory over the U.S.

Well, U.S. troops in danger. Their sacrifice saluted by President Bush on this Veterans Day. In ceremonies today, the nation's commander-in-chief honored troops past and present, and again vowed the U.S. will prevail in Iraq.

CNN White House correspondent Dana Bash reports.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DANA BASH, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the president lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns, honors 19 million living veterans and those still serving.

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: They have liberated two nations, Afghanistan and Iraq.

BASH: Beyond the commemoration, urgency about Iraq and a detailed defense of his policy. The president accused al Qaeda- affiliated groups seeking revenge are forming an alliance with Saddam loyalists to kill U.S. troops.

BUSH: Recent reporting suggests that despite their differences, these killers are working together to spread chaos and terror and fear.

BASH: Sources say that information is part of a new report detailing the scope and source of the attacks on the ground, and was discussed at hastily-arranged White House meetings with Iraqi Civil Administrator Paul Bremer and top national security officials.

Nearly 400 service men came back from Iraq not as veterans, but casualties of war. Thirty-eight from Iraq buried at Arlington National Cemetery, including Captain John Robert Teal, laid to rest just last week, killed by a roadside bomb northeast of Baghdad.

EMMY TEAL, SON KILLED IN IRAQ: And he said, "There's only one thing I want to make real clear, and it's in my will. I want to buried at Arlington in my full dress uniform, full military honors.

BASH: Captain Teal's mother, Emmy, received a sympathy letter Mr. Bush sends to families of all who die.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

BASH: And Anderson, the White House is taking a serious look at its post-war plan, political plan in Iraq. Paul Bremer is scheduled to come back to the White House tomorrow morning for a full National Security Council meeting. And officials say they hope to make some decisions on whether the Iraqi Governing Council is going to meet its December 15 deadline to set a timetable for elections or whether if they're moving too slow, if they're too ineffective, they need to search for an alternative plan -- Anderson.

COOPER: All right. We'll report on that tomorrow. Dana Bash, thanks very much at the White House.

We are following a number of other stories for you. Let's take a look "Cross Country."

Newark, New Jersey: Wal-Mart suit. Some workers arrested as illegal immigrants during last month's Wal-Mart raids, well, they have filed a racketeering lawsuit against the company. They claim the retailer took advantage of their illegal status to deny them overtime pay and worker's compensation. Wal-Mart says that claim is without merit.

Jackson, New Jersey: tiger hunt. After a long legal battle, authorities have removed 24 Bengal tigers from a private animal reserve outside Trenton. Officials say the preserve run by a woman who has been dubbed "The Tiger Lady" was substandard and frankly unhealthy.

Orlando, Florida: taking it to heart. Defibrillators are not just for hospitals anymore. Doctors say they should be placed in shopping malls and office buildings as well. A new study suggests that when defibrillators are located in public spaces, and people are trained to use them, they can actually double the survival chances of heart attack victims.

Chester, Connecticut: a comedy legend's exit. Actor Art Carney has died. Carney won a best actor Oscar for the 1974 movie "Harry and Tonto." But he was, of course, best known for his role as Ed Norton, playing opposite Jackie Gleason in the classic "Honeymooners" TV series. Art Carney was 85 years old.

And that's a look at stories "Cross Country" tonight.

Our special series "Sleepless in America" continues with a look at what some say is a war between two basic human needs: sleep versus sex. Find out why so many of us would frankly rather get some shuteye.

Also tonight, how quickly we forget one of the most political custody battles in history. We'll take you to Cuba to see how Elian Gonzales is doing today.

Plus, Rosie O'Donnell's trial. We'll take a closer look at her PR offensive.

First, let's take a look "Inside the Box" at tonight's top stories on the network evening newscasts.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Well, some new developments in Chesapeake, Virginia, where jury selection in the trial of 18-year-old sniper suspect Lee Malvo began yesterday. Today, for the first time, Malvo has critical things to say about the man he once reportedly referred to as dad, the other sniper suspect, John Muhammad.

Jeanne Meserve is covering the trial. She has the latest -- Jeanne.

JEANNE MESERVE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, first, a few statistics. Fifteen women, 13 men, 20 Caucasians, seven African- Americans, one Asian. That is the profile of the 28-person jury pool that has been selected here with amazing speed. Tomorrow, the prosecution will strike six, so will the defense, leaving us with a jury of 12 and four alternates.

Now, Malvo is described by his attorneys as generally doing well, but "obviously nervous" and with a new attitude towards John Muhammad.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's an angry position.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Angry?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Angry at Mr. Muhammad.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Why? What did he say?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, thank you, but I can't answer that.

(END VIDEO CLIP) MESERVE: The backgrounds of Muhammad and Malvo and the relationship between the two men will be the nature of Cooley's (ph) opening statement, which is scheduled now for Thursday. Malvo was in the courtroom again today wearing a blue crew neck sweater looking very youthful, eating candy provided by his defense team, and sketching.

One of the courtroom artists got a look at what he was doing. He apparently has been drawing pictures of some of the court personnel, acting sort of as his own courtroom artist.

Now, tomorrow, the defense in the John Muhammad case will begin. His lawyers have been playing things very close to the vest, but they have said that laying out the defense could take two days, maybe even less than that -- Anderson.

COOPER: Moving quickly. All right. Jeanne Meserve, thanks very much tonight.

The latest round in the Ten Commandments courtroom battle begins tomorrow with hearings on possible sanctions against suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore. Now, Moore moved a Ten Commandments monument into the state judicial building. You probably remember that. He defied a federal court order to move it out.

CNN's Brian Cabell has the latest.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

BRIAN CABELL, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): To his critics, Roy Moore is a grand standing demagogue. To his supporters, he's a man of principle willing to jeopardize his job in defense of a greater cause.

ROY MOORE, ALABAMA CHIEF JUSTICE: This is not about a monument. It's not about a religion. It's not about a person. It's about whether or not the state can acknowledge god.

CABELL: Moore installed the 5,300-pound monument in the rotunda of the judicial building two years ago, but then refused a federal district judge's order to remove it. The judge ruled the monument, inscribed with the Ten Commandments and 14 other religious quotations, was an unconstitutional promotion of religion in a government building. Moore, backed at times by thousands of supporters on the steps of the judicial building, openly defied the federal judge's order, but it was eventually removed August 27. Now, he'll face trial before the court of the judiciary.

RICHARD COHEN, SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER: The truth of the matter is the case is open and shut. The canons of ethics say you have to uphold and respect the law. Moore said I'm going to defy the law. It doesn't get clearer than that.

CABELL: The court of the judiciary could remove him from office, suspend him, reprimand him or exonerate him. Some observers believe he has higher political ambitions, perhaps the governorship or the Senate.

What's undeniable is his popularity. Polls in recent months indicated three out of four people agree with him that the Ten Commandments belong on public property.

Brian Cabell, CNN, Montgomery, Alabama.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: We are following a number of international stories for you right now. Let's check tonight's "UpLink."

London: honoring war dead. It is still called Armistice Day in Europe, the day World War I ended. And in London, Queen Elizabeth unveiled a memorial for Australia's dead from the two world wars. Australian Prime Minister John Howard joined the queen and a silent crowd of 3,000 at High Park.

Dominican Republic: strike turns deadly. Three people are reported killed, and at least 10 wounded in clashes with police and strikers in several cities. Labor unions and social activists called today's work stoppage to protest government economical (UNINTELLIGIBLE) policies.

Israel: don't try this at home or, frankly, anywhere else. Stunt man Victor Raviav (ph) is the new Guinness World Record holder for supporting the most weight while lying on a bed of nails. An assistant piled 719 pounds of concrete on to him and then shattered it with a sledgehammer. There you go. He apparently is all right.

That is tonight's "UpLink."

Elian Gonzales three years later. We're going to take you to his hometown in Cuba. Find out how he is doing today.

Also tonight, Rosie O'Donnell's $100 million battle. For some, the show outside the courtroom has been almost as interesting as the legal maneuvering inside.

Also ahead, our weeklong series, "Sleepless in America." Tonight, the power of napping and a nightly war between getting sex or getting sleep.

First, tonight's buzz. Would you rather have more sleep or more sex in your life? Vote now, cnn.com/360. The results at the end of the program.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Well, we continue tonight with our weeklong series "Sleepless in America." George Costanza was clearly on to something in that "Seinfeld" episode where he turned his desk at work into kind of a nest for napping. There's evidence that naps can make us more productive, but George's boss didn't go for it. And if the new studies are right, your boss probably will not go for it either.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER (voice-over): In nursery schools, sometimes the only thing standing between a 4-year-old and a temper tantrum is a good nap. A few years ago, the grown-up world seemed to understand this. Adult power napping was briefly all the rage. Nap rooms popped up across corporate America.

In 2001, according to a study, 48 percent of companies allowed employees to nap during breaks. Now, only 21 percent of companies do. The drop has forced some workers to become covert nappers.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I have a pillow at my desk, in the file cabinet.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There's a small empty room where I work where I can go and there's like a couch.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I sleep in my truck.

COOPER: These nappers may be on to something. Recent research out of Harvard suggests that napping may actually increase a person's ability to learn. But if you're going to nap at work, experts have a couple of recommendations.

Try to mimic home sleeping conditions. Remove your watch. Use adequate head support. And don't sleep more than 30 minutes.

Your boss may not leave believe it, but grabbing 40 winks may actually improve your productivity. That is, as long as you remember to set an alarm clock.

COOPER: Well, the subject of sleep had the office buzzing today. Actually, it was the subject of the war between sleep and sex that had people talking. Whether it's because of your kids or simply your hectic lifestyles, some couples find themselves having to choose to have more sleep or more sex.

We're joined now by Bob Berkowitz, host of the program "Naked New York" and contributing editor at "Complete Woman" magazine. And in Chicago, sex therapist, Dr. Laura Berman, director of The Berman Center. Appreciate both of you joining us.

Dr. Berman, let me start off with you. I mean, do you hear this from a lot of couples, sort of this war between sex and sleep?

LAURA BERMAN, SEX THERAPIST: Absolutely. And for many people, sleep is the sex of this century. It's, in many cases, something that's chosen over sex. Couples are overtaxed and overworked. Women are now working outside the home and managing the family, and they find themselves together at the end of the day once the kids are asleep and the laundry is done and the lunches are made for the next day, just ready to pass out, and with very little energy to put toward having sex.

COOPER: Bob, do you hear this a lot? I mean, do you have to choose, I guess?

BOB BERKOWITZ, "COMPLETE WOMAN" MAGAZINE: No, I don't think you have to choose, number one. I think we can make time for both. They're both very important.

Obviously, you need sleep to function in the world and society, but we also need sex. It's important for our relationships, it's important for our sense of self, it's important for our health, even. I think, you know, you don't have to choose both.

I think part of the problem is that we too narrowly define sex as just intercourse. Once you broaden the definition, it could be touching, massage, taking a bath together. I think, suddenly, it doesn't become so daunting. It doesn't become so, I don't know, energy draining. The whole idea, oh, my god, we have to have sex tonight.

COOPER: Laura, what do you recommend to your clients? I mean, how to make the choice?

BERMAN: I think Bob makes a very crucial point. Also, that sex doesn't have to be an hour-long acrobatic activity every time. Quickies can do great things for keeping a couple together, changing your schedule.

I sometimes tell couples to even set an alarm in the middle of the night, where they still can get more sleep afterwards, and maybe they feel more refreshed and less exhausted. Or have sex in the morning, or try an illicit meeting in the afternoon from time to time. But don't get so caught up in the idea that sex has to happen at night, that sex always has to be hours long. But it is very important to try to hold on to that in a relationship because it's a central part of the intimacy and the connection.

COOPER: Bob, I don't want to fall into any cliches or stereotypes, but do you think men react to this question differently than women?

BERKOWITZ: I think we're all exhausted. There was a cover story not too long ago on "Newsweek." They said that married couples aren't having sex. "Sexless in America" I think was the headline.

And I think it's because we're all distracted with going online, walking down the street eating pizza, being on our cell phones, and we're not taking time for what's important in life. Sleep certainly is important. So is sex.

So is being with our families. So is being with our kids. Let's prioritize our time. Let's not be in the mall and watch television. Forgive me, too much.

COOPER: All right. Except for this program. Laura, a final thought from you?

BERMAN: I think that that's a great point. And make time for sex. Make time for yoru relationship set that time aside. Not only for the relationship, but for yourself, as well, because if you each replenish your own lives and your own identities as men as women separate from just being mothers and fathers, then it's going to do a lot to give you the energy you need to sustain your sex life and make sleep a priority.

COOPER: All right. Laura Berman, Bob Berkowitz, thanks very much. It was great. Thank you.

BERMAN: Sure.

COOPER: That leads us to today's buzz. Would you rather have more sleep or more sex in your life? Vote now, cnn.com/360. We'll have the results at the end of the program.

And our series "Sleepless in America" continues all this week. Tomorrow, some fascinating innovations by the military that could one day make sleeping pills a thing of the past.

Thursday, what happens when sleep is one long nightmare? We're going to go inside the world of sleep disorders.

And on Friday, a night at a sleep clinic. Could it work for you? I'll let you know if it worked for me.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER (voice-over): For Rosie O'Donnell, even during the trial the show must go on.

How Robert Durst confessed to a grizzly killing but convinced a jury he's not guilty.

And why the brutal British tabloids are backing off.

We'll be right back.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Time for "The Reset." Some of the top stories.

Washington, D.C., Army airliners, home security officials say they're reviewing proposals from several companies that want to develop anti-missile defense systems for commercial airliners. The systems would protect them from shoulder-held missiles fired by terrorists. The implementation is believed to be years away.

Arlington, Virginia, veterans are honored. President Bush's marked Veterans Day with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington. While his remarks honored all fighting men and women, Mr. Bush directed special attention to U.S. military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Washington, D.C., campaign crisis: one day after presidential candidate John Kerry fired his campaign manager, Kerry's press secretary and a deputy finance secretary resigned. Kerry trails fellow New Englander Howard Dean going into the important New Hampshire primary.

Fort Collins, Colorado, evacuations ordered: crews battling a 100-acre wild fire in Larimer County, Colorado. No injuries are reported. At least one subdivision has been evacuated.

Las Vegas, Nevada, domestic discord, Christian Slater with 20 stitches for a cut on the head after apparent dispute with his wife, television producer Ryan Haddon. Police say Haddon hit him with a drinking glass during a fight. She has arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge. And that is "The Reset" for tonight.

Justice served now. Today, after several difficult days of deliberation, the jury in the Robert Durst murder trial reached a verdict and many found the verdict shocking.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We the jury find the defendant Robert Durst not guilty.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

COOPER: The eccentric millionaire acquitted today even though he confessed he dismembered the victim's body. You might be asking what was jury thinking? Well, I spoke with a jury a short time ago.

Robbie Clarac is in Galveston, Texas.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: Robbie, the defense asked you, asked the jurors to separate the killing of this man, Mr. Black , from the dismemberment of him. Were you able to do that. Was that tough to do?

ROBBIE CLARAC, DURST TRIAL JUROR: It was very tough to do. And in the end, we had to with the charges that we were given at closing arguments when they read us the charges of what we would be considering, and it was just on the murder charge, we looked at the dismemberment and the to totality, but we had to keep going back to the charges that we're only here to charge him for murder and we had to know whether it was intentional, knowingly or with intent to do that. And, with everything that was presented to us, it wasn't disproved that it wasn't self defense. So, with that reason of doubt...

COOPER: Was there one thing that led you to that reason of doubt or was it just looking at the Prosecutions case in totality, and saying, you know what, there's still reasonable doubt?

CLARAC: It was looking at the prosecution's case and in the totality of it, because when we got into the jury room, we had a lot of discussion, and we built a time line just based on the facts that were given to us on a prosecution as far as cell phone records and airline reservations and receipts that were presented to us just from prosecution, we made a time line that made around the whole room. And it based on that, there was so much reasonable doubt that it wasn't proven that it wasn't murder that...

COOPER: Let me ask you this. Do you feel at this point that you know what went on in that room between Morris Black and Robert Durst?

CLARAC: Honestly, I have no idea. But it wasn't -- it wasn't proven to us, either, that anybody knows what happened in that room with Robert Durst and Morris Black.

COOPER: So I guess the question, and I imagine the question you are going to be getting a lot from friends and neighbors and stuff is, all right, you said he's not guilty.

Do you believe he's innocent?

CLARAC: I believe he's not guilty on the murder for the facts that we had.

COOPER: Business that's really the choice you had to make, between...

CLARAC: That's...

COOPER: Finding him guilty of murder or not guilty. Nothing in between.

CLARAC: Right. Nothing in between.

COOPER: What was the toughest thing for you?

Was there one day in particular?

Was there one piece of evidence you couldn't get over for a while?

CLARAC: In the beginning, of when we saw the photos of the dismembered body of Morris Black that was very, very hard. And I will always remember those pictures. But, we were not here to judge him on that. And that's what we had to get past. We had to get on to the charge that was given was the murder charge.

COOPER: I know it's the first time serving on a jury, an unbelievable trial for your first time. Appreciate you telling us your experiences. Thank you, Robbie.

CLARAC: No problem.

COOPER: And Lisa Bloom of Court TV said she was shocked by the verdict. I believe the term she used was biggest shock of trial coverage in 2003. That's what you told the producer earlier.

LISA BLOOM, COURT TV: It's true.

COOPER: Why such a shock?

BLOOMS: Well, it's just an absolute shock because of the facts of the case. Because he admitted to killing his neighbor and admitted to chopping up the body and throwing it in Galveston Bay.

COOPER: You heard from one of the juries. They said, look, the prosecution basically did not prove their case.

BLOOMS: Well, the prosecution proved that those two events happened. Now, most juries in most jurisdictions would be advised of that guilt may occur when that chopping up of the body occurred, and when he took off in flight, ran from the law. That instruction was not given in Texas to this jury. They were not told to consider that. And the defense from the beginning told them, keep these two events separate. The killing and the chopping up of the body. The jury apparently believed that, did that. They kept the two issues separate and came back with this not guilty verdict.

COOPER: I mean, what the prosecution looking at tonight?

Are they just completely thinking they blew it?

I mean, are they reviewing the case?

What did they do wrong?

BLOOM: I think honestly, Anderson, they have to be in as much shock as the rest of us who has followed this case.

They have to be going home and say what on earth happened here?

One of the big mistake they made was not giving lesser included offenses to the jury. The jury didn't have an consideration except murder.

COOPER: They to go for murder or nothing?

BLOOM: Murder or nothing. There was not even an abuse of corpse charge given to this jury.

COOPER: Why would they do that, though?

BLOOM: Well, the prosecution said today that would only be an one-year misdemeanor charge. They didn't think it was significant enough. They went all or nothing. That was the gamble they choose to do. No manslaughter, no criminal negligence. Nothing except murder. It was an all or nothing gamble and they came back with nothing.

COOPER: And there's double jeopardy. There's no retrying this thing if they suddenly discover the head of Morris Black, which has still not found, it doesn't matter?

BLOOM: That's right.

There's no appeal for the prosecution. Once he's found to be not guilty, not guilty, it is he walks free, assuming he gets free on the bail jumping charge.

COOPER: All right, Lisa Bloom thanks very much.

BLOOM: Thank you.

COOPER: Another closely watched trial nears its conclusion. A civil court drama staring Rosie O'Donnell. A judge will ultimately decide who's responsible for the collapse of her magazine. There are millions at stake. O'Donnell also realizes she faces the court of public opinion. Now, every day, outside the court house, she has stepped in front of the cameras to tell her side of the story.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ROSE O'DONNELL, ENTERTAINER: Turn and wave. My name is Rosie O'Donnell. I know what I stand for. I own the name. I created it. I will always own the name. No corporate entity can sue a person and take away their name and try to scare them into bad headlines the post.

That was scary.

How do you feel this morning, Miss O'Donnell?

A lot better, thank you.

Are you nervous today?

No. It's -- seems to be going well.

And, do you think you're going to win?

Yes, I do.

The CEO said he would ruin me. Well, the trial is not over yet. We'll see who's standing at the end. I'm going to the end. It's not about money. It's about principle and morals.

I have tried every day up until this moment to settle this case. And they have no desire to do so. So here we are.

Turn on the news and what do you see?

Scott Peterson that killed his wife, Robert Blake that may have killed his wife and then me. What did I do? I'm fat. I yell. And I sometimes say the f-word and I'm being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Justice (UNINTELLIGIBLE) is a very wise man. And I believe on Wednesday he will have some sort of a decision and that will be a very good day.

I stop everyday, don't worry. I'm coming back tomorrow.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: The P.R. battle continues. So does the trial. It resumes tomorrow. May be the last day of testimony.

Still to come this evening, one huge factor that is damaging your productivity at work? Here's a hint -- it is all in your head. We'll check in with Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

Also tonight, why Britain's scandal mill is running out of steam on the rumors trailing Prince Charles.

And a little later, the greats of rock n roll, seen through the lens of legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz. She gives us a tour of her latest photos.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Ah, "How Quickly We Forget." Each Tuesday, we like to look at a story we, the media, once couldn't get enough of, but which we've long since forgotten about.

This week, the emotional custody battle over a little boy from Cuba. Remember Elian Gonzalez?

CNN's Havana bureau chief, Lucia Newman, tells us what he is up to now.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

LUCIA NEWMAN, CNN HAVANA BUREAU CHIEF (voice-over): You may not recognize the face of this 9-year-old, but you should. Three years ago, Elian Gonzalez, the little Cuban rafter who got caught in one of history's most politically charged custody battles, became a household word around the world, taken at gunpoint from his Miami relatives to be returned to his father.

In Cuba, Elian's face was everywhere. On posters, and marches, demanding he be returned home.

Today, in his hometown of Cardenas (ph), as in the rest of Cuba, there isn't a trace left of all of that.

So to find out a little more, we went back to Cardenas, first, to talk to his Great Aunt Olga.

"Elian is doing great," said Aunt Olga. "He's living with his father and his stepmother. They have a nice house. He's going to school. And he loves going to parties."

We went to the local barbershop to see what they knew of Elian.

"He's like any normal kid," said this customer. "He still goes to the same school. And I always see him go past my house on the way to karate class."

(on camera): Returning to Cardenas doesn't mean, though, returning to normal, especially for Elian's father, Juan Miguel, who, whether he likes it or not, has very much become a public and political figure here in Cuba.

(voice-over): Gonzalez still works as a waiter at a well-known tourist center. But he's now also a member of Cuba's National Assembly, a constant symbol of what Cuba considers one of its major political victories.

He declined to be interviewed on camera. But at a recent rally, he did tell us Elian was happy and well adjusted. Perhaps he is, although the fact that he was here in the front row, just yards away from Cuba's leader, is proof that Elian Gonzalez is still more than just an ordinary boy.

Lucia Newman, CNN, Cardenas, Cuba.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: Well, want to turn now to some health news.

Those headaches you face on the job are also a big pain for the boss. And the thing is, hitting the medicine cabinet might actually do more harm than good.

CNN's medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta explains.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It's a pain, radiating, pulsing or throbbing in your head.

DR. CHRISTINE LAY, ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL: Headaches are very common. Probably in this country alone, if you look at migraines, are nearly 28 million Americans with migraines.

GUPTA: It's also a pain for employers. A Journal of the American Association says headaches topped the list of pain conditions stunting employees' productivity.

LAY: And it's not just on the basis of absenteeism, or someone has a bad headache and doesn't feel like going to work. It's much more on the basis, probably three out of four times, as a result of people trying to stick it out at work but unable to function at their best capacity.

GUPTA: Headache pain among workers caused a loss of $61.2 billion. Seventy-seven percent of that lost time not from missed days, but from low productivity.

And the so-called cure could also be a culprit. Doctors say headache sufferers often overmedicate, making them sluggish at work or causing rebound headaches.

LAY: And what happens to them is the more medication they take, the more headaches they have and the less effective the medication becomes.

GUPTA: There are many treatments for headaches, including over- the-counter remedies and prescription medications such as tripdans (ph).

They may be beneficial for you, and your employer.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: Sanjay joins us now.

Of course, I mean, there's so many treatment options, as you say. Is there a danger that people are mixing medications?

GUPTA: Yes. I mean, there certainly is a danger of that. Keep in mind, it's very unusual for someone to need these medications longterm to treat these things. Check the labels, because a lot of the same active ingredients can be found in both prescription as well the over the counter.

Lots of tips out there to try and prevent headaches at work. I mean, that's the big thing, obviously. Options such as, I mean, make sure there's good lighting in the office place. The ergonomic office design. I mean, getting a good chair, making sure your neck is not bending at that computer. That can be important. Exercise regularly. Don't skip meals.

And also, keep really well-hydrated. Almost the No. 1 cause of chronic headaches at work.

COOPER: Oh really?

GUPTA: Yes.

(CROSSTALK)

COOPER: All right. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, thanks.

GUPTA: Good to see you.

COOPER: Well, the latest details on the details we can't tell you about what Prince Charles apparently didn't do. Did you get that?

Also, tonight, the rock star who's instrument is a camera. She's made rock history and made history out of rock. We'll get a close-up look.

Stay with us.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Rumors swirling around Britain's Prince Charles have caused quite a stir in the U.K. We haven't been able to tell you much about them, but now it seems many papers in Britain are losing interest fast. Gaven Morris reports from London.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

GAVEN MORRIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A royal storm perhaps running out of puff? For 10 days, Britain's Prince Charles has been pursued, the papers here full of speculation and innuendo to that claim by a former valet of a sexual incident involving the prince and another servant. Now, with legal restricts still barring any mention of the details, the press is moving on. Some papers now say they believe the story they've been covering wasn't true anyway. Prince Charles certainly strenuously denies the allegations. Many supporters are speaking out, too.

DICKIE ARBITER, FORMER ROYAL PRESS SECRETARY: Any sensible, thinking person would know that these allegations, which most people know about now, are completely untrue.

MORRIS: Now, attention is turning to the man that made the claim, former valet George Smith. Royal officials have questioned his reliability, pointing out his battles with alcohol and depression. And appearing on CNN, Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, says George Smith is his friend, but he won't vouch for his story.

DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: So you consider him to be a credible source?

PAUL BURRELL, FORMER DIANA'S BUTLER: I think he is a very nice man, yes, but...

KAGAN: There are lots of nice men, but it doesn't mean that they tell the truth.

BURRELL: That's true, true. We don't know, do we? It's just speculation. And George has told his story. It isn't actually evidence because there's nothing to corroborate that.

MORRIS: With no plans to speak out or seek legal action, Prince Charles can now only wait for this scandal to subside and hope there's nothing more to come.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

MORRIS: It's worth bearing in mind, Anderson, that this whole claim comes from one man and cannot be really spoken about or verified. The whole story has taken on a life of its own, and just now it seems like after two weeks of constant rumoring, it might just be starting to ebb away -- Anderson.

COOPER: All right. Gaven Morris in London. Thanks very much, Gaven.

A couple of other odds and ends from the world of pop culture, let's check "The Current."

"TV Guide" is raising its price by 50 cents to $2.49. To make up for it, we're going to give you some help with their crossword. For 31 across, the blank couple, the answer is odd. 31 across, the answer is odd.

Spike TV will hold its first video game awards in Las Vegas next month. Although Spike TV bills itself as the network for men, the event will for some reason be hosted for comedian David Spade, who actually qualifies as more of a man child. At least some people think that.

A strange coincidence to report. Christina Aguilera has come down with acute bronchitis, this just days after Britney Spears caught a case of the flu. It is not true where the two might have caught their simultaneous ailments. Hmm.

One person who has had their finger on the pop culture current for decades now is famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. She is returning to her rock' n' roll roots with "American Music," new photos showing now at Seattle's Experience Music Project. She gave us a tour.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ, PHOTOGRAPHER: I have always thought of my work as at the very least being documents of our time.

I think what's so great about this project is, you know, I knew it was a project, especially with musicians. I mean, they have a relationship with their music. They're not so interested in, you know, what image they're projecting.

When Norah Jones walked into my studio, and it was the morning after she won the Grammys and she had on a, you know, a knit cap and she was wearing her glasses. And no hair and makeup, let's just take this picture. Because I thought the little girl was going to be going away. You know? It wouldn't be there, you know, forever.

Mos Def, the great poet, and he said his favorite song is his grandmother's laugh. I found myself very drawn to the families that contribute to music. The Cashes, you would have your Shania Twains or your Dixie Chicks without someone like Roseanne Cash.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You've got the icons of Aretha Franklin, juxtaposed with a missionary Baptist church.

LEIBOVITZ: Right. That is the thread of American music. That's the weave of it, is that it's everything, it's all of that.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: That was photographer Annie Leibovitz. The exhibit, American Music, is also the name of her new book of rock 'n' roll photos.

Well, today is Veterans' Day, as you know. So what does that mean to you? Is it more than parades and ceremonies? We will talk about that coming up.

Plus, tomorrow, our series on sleep continues with a look at what the military has been doing that could make sleeping pills a thing of the past.

First, today's buzz, would you rather have more sleep or more sex in your life? Vote now, at cnn.com/360. Results when we come back.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COOPER: Time now for the buzz. We asked you, would you rather have more sleep or more sex in your life? Thirty-four percent said sleep; 66 percent voted sex. This is not a scientific poll, just viewer buzz.

Now to some of your instant feedback. I misspoke twice during last night's program, using the word "depravity" instead of "deprivation" and "mascular" (ph) instead of "macular." Clearly, I've been sleeping -- a little sleep deprived myself.

We got a lot of e-mails like this one. Brenda from Maine wrote: "Depravity! Depravity? Me thinks you gotta cavity. 'Tis where your brain's supposed to be! Your journalists make me so annoyed, why the hell were you employed?" Very clever. Thank you. My apologies. Clearly, sleeplessness has gone to my head. Send us your instant feedback any time. Log on to cnn.com/360.

Today it seems fitting to take serving your country to "The Nth Degree." Whether you agree with the politics of every conflict, the fact remains an estimated 19 million Americans served their country in combat during the Gulf War, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, World War II and World War I. And that's about 13 percent of the population. And the war on terror, the fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq is adding to those ranks every day.

So, if you've ever felt powerless in this war on terror, if you've ever wished there was something you could do, consider this day, the parades, the ceremonies, a reminder that there is, in fact, something you can do. Lots of things you can do.

Support veterans' causes. Volunteer. Donate. Because, yeah, it is true there's no way America can ever repay the debt owed to its veterans, but we can certainly try, and maybe one way to start is by thinking of Veterans' Day as a day to reflect not just on what veterans have done for us, but also on what we can do for them.

That wraps up our program tonight. Coming up next, "PAULA ZAHN NOW."
