At the young age of 30, having grossed over 80 million dollars in record sales and just off the cusp of the release of the album "Glass Houses," Billy Joel sat down and spoke to ABC News for his first-ever television network interview. Billy Joel is known as one of the best songwriters/performers as well as one of the few classic balladeers. In the interview, Billy Joel recalls his early piano lessons he took growing up in Hicksville, Long Island, and composing his own "fake Beethoven concertos," one of which he demonstrates for ABC News. Joel talks about the disastrous recording of his first album entitled "Cold Spring Harbor," which was recorded in the wrong speed, and how that prompted him to disappear from the music scene for some time. While on his music industry sabbatical, Joel took a job as a piano player at a small bar in Los Angeles that wound up being the inspiration for his hit song, "Piano Man." ABC News is also on hand as Billy Joel goes into the recording studio with his producer Phil Ramone, as they work on finishing a lyric in the song "Don't Ask Me Why."

Each year, there are an estimated 1,300 reported cases of Shaken Baby Syndrome, and as many as twenty-five percent of them prove to be fatal. ABC News reports that, while organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics consider Shaken Baby Syndrome a serious form of child abuse, others, like Dr. Jan Leestma, claim that SBS is misdiagnosed and causing innocent people to be sent to prison. Dr. Leestma, a neuropathologist and a critic of the theories behind the syndrome, says it's more theory than science and that recent experiments suggest not enough force is generated by repeatedly shaking an infant to cause fatal injuries. ABC News talks to experts on both sides of this growingly contentious issue, and to Louise Woodward, the famed "British Nanny" who was found guilty of second-degree murder -- but whose sentence was later reduced to involuntary manslaughter -- in a case that made world headlines. Woodward, who is now a lawyer and lives in England, still maintains that she did nothing to harm the infant who died under her care while she was a teenaged au pair for a Massachusetts couple. ...

My colleagues and I have seen a lot of what drugs can do to a neighborhood and to the people who live there. We have never seen anything quite as bad as the section of north Philadelphia. Almost everything about this part of town is cheap, sleazy, decaying and sad. It is an overripe cliche, down to the name the residents have given their neighborhood: the Badlands. It is the worst of what happens when the drug trade takes over a house, and then a street, and then a block. It's as invasive as crabgrass, as destructive as cancer." - Ted KoppelBut how does it get started, and what happens to people in the neighborhood who want to keep the disease from spreading to their block? In this Nightline special, people are sometimes breathtakingly candid about what's happening to them and their families. One of the heroin addicts, a man who goes by the street name of 'Tombstone,' suggested that what's missing these days is a sense of shame."When sold by Amazon.com, this product will be manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
