Pelley this week before the election, there is a lot of arguing about the slowest recovery america has ever seen. We went to north carolina, a state that went for the president last time but is swinging toward mitt romney now. And we found the story of the economy in the death and life of asheboro. Asheboro grew up on manufacturing, its factories filled with generations of families who built their town near purgatory mountain. But in 2008, asheboro was named one of americas fastest dying towns. The folks there were never going to quit, but they are still struggling. Why are we stuck somewhere between recession and recovery . No one better to ask than those who live around purgatory. In Randolph County, theres no escaping the second election since the great recession. Nonstop, the tv promises a better day or warns of a worse one. Folks around here have seen a lot of both. whistle blows those days start with the signature sound of asheboro at the acmemccrary textile company. It opened the year that some of its workers helped put a republican in the white house, William Howard taft. It was 1909. 103 years later, bill redding runs the place. At its peak, how many employees did you have . Bill redding about 2,000. Pelley and today . Redding 600. Pelley to see why its so hard to stitch together a recovery, look at the ladies hosiery business. Its been torn to shreds by cheap imports. Redding has kept the mill going two ways one, a great idea he took a chance on a new product, spanx shapewear, which became a sensation. And two, he moved 600 jobs to honduras. The workers who are lessskilled in honduras working for you, how much less are they making than the people who work on this floor . Redding uh, considerable. Pelley 50 . Redding i probably dont want to answer that. Pelley okay. But its a considerable difference . Redding oh, yeah. Pelley and its what keeps your business in business . Redding thats true. Pelley what wouldve happened if youd dug in your heels and said, no, im keeping 1,200 jobs in this plant in Randolph County . Redding i think we would probably not exist. Pelley you dont have to look far to see what he means. This mill, in the nearby town of ramseur, was wiped out, with every job gone, a thousand of them. We couldnt help but notice this in the demolition please have a safe drive home, we want to see you tomorrow. Remember when driving was the biggest threat to workers . When tomorrow didnt come, there was no future for ramseurs main drag. Shops shuttered right after the plant, and amelia hill, one of the last holdouts, will close her diner this coming thursday. Amelia hill all the businesses are gone. Theyve just faded out, moved. I mean, you cant survive. Theres no way. Theres no surviving. Pelley youve been thinking about your retirement, and youve been saving money, i understand, for a long time . Hill right. Pelley have you been spending some of that savings to keep the doors open . Hill ive had to, i sure have. Dont want to dig any deeper in it. Pelley today, the only full time employees are you and your daughter . Hill right. Right. Pelley youre going to lay off your own daughter . Hill im going to lay off my own daughter. Pelley they turned the bank into a town museum. Its open two days a month, which is more than its neighbors. These were all the people who came to the cafe and sat at the counter and drank coffee in the afternoon, right. Hill right. Right. Pelley these were your people . Hill those were my people. Pelley and now, youre one of them. Hill and now, im one of them. Pelley we couldnt find a better example of whats happening to American Manufacturing than this plant on a hilltop in Randolph County. This used to be a textile plant. They started building it in 1949; they built the last addition on it in 1995. But the plant closed, and now theyre tearing half of it down. The manager told us that they just cant find a buyer who has enough employees to need this much space. In the year 2000, there were 17 million americans who were working in manufacturing. Now, there are just over 12 million. Thats five million jobs lost in manufacturing in just the last 12 years. But you can also see rising from the debris of the recession is a new economy in asheboro. Klaussner furniture was forced to lay off half its workers, lost to chinese imports. Now, its holding onto the others by exporting to china. Klaussner furniture is expensive in china but, turns out, the growing chinese middle class thinks the made in america label is a status symbol. Made in america is an advantage for the technimark company, which has created 800 jobs here. It makes plastic products, including iphone covers. Theyre growing because they can deliver a customers new product in two weeks when it can take two months to ship the same thing from china. Up the road in kernersville, even the abandoned tobacco barns are turning a new leaf not with one big Company Moving in, but dozens of new entrepreneurs who are setting up shops. A lot of them were down on their luck and had no choice but to cook up a new idea. Jenny fulton i grew up on pickles. My grandmother used to make pickles. Wed. We always had pickles in the house, and i love them. Pelley jenny fulton and ashlee furr were laidoff stockbrokers. They poured their savings into miss jennys pickles. Theyre in more than 500 stores, some of them in china, and soon to be in mongolia. They like pickles in china . Fulton theyre in 40 stores, and theyre on the shelf. Pelley 40 stores in china . Fulton yes, sir. Beijing, shanghai, kunming, shenzhen. Pelley why did you decide to expand into china . Fulton well ill tell you what happened. I said, ashlee, 2011, were going to export to one country. I dont care what it is. Because 95 of the world lives outside of the United States. Pelley to reach them, she went to a seminar and heard about the u. S. Exportimport bank, the governments Credit Agency for foreign trade. Fulton and i sat right behind fred, whos the president of the Exportimport Bank. And so when he got done speaking, i went running outside to the car, because i saw a group of gentlemen standing there. And i said, whos driving fred . Guy said, me, chris. I said, youre my new best friend. Get him to eat these pickles before he gets on the plane because i want to export this year. Pelley you got some pickles to the driver of the head of the Exportimport Bank . Fulton yes, sir. And we exported that year. Pelley pretty good trick. Fulton you got to think out of the jar, you know . If youre selling pickles, you better be creative. Whats made us successful is whats made every American Company successful, and thats hard work and not taking no for an answer. If somebody tells me no, scott, i say, okay, that means timings not right, but youll want my pickles. Pelley no means go . Fulton it does, at the right time. But, you know, were not too pushy, you know, i. Believe it or not. I know you laugh, but. Pelley really . Ah, well, im glad to hear that. Fulton what i do is i drip on you, and i dont let you forget me, okay . Pelley here, they call that gumption, and its forced unemployment from 13 , near the highest in the nation, to just about 9. 5 . The jobs are coming, just not fast enough. And no family is a better example of that than the berrys. Bobby berry lost his factory job three years ago. Hes worked here and there, but mostly theyve lived on his wifes pay and benefits. Sugar berrys been at the same steady job 27 years at a plant that makes wire for steelbelted tires. This month, bobby got a job when the maltomeal cereal plant expanded with 50 new workers. The berrys had two paychecks again, until the letter came. This is the letter that you received from the company. This layoff is a result of the companys decision to cease operations at the asheboro wire plant, which will result in the closure of the entire plant and the termination of the employment of substantially all of the plants employees, approximately 310. When you read those words, what did you think . Sugar berry it cant be. I. I said it couldnt happen whenever we were sold, but i guess i should have expected it coming. Pelley they were sold to a korean firm. The jobs may be headed to vietnam. So, one step forward, one step back. Sugar berry uhhuh. Pelley it seems like the rest of the country. Sugar berry yeah. Bobby berry yeah. Pelley whats that last day going to be like . You worked there nearly 30 years. Sugar berry i just dont know. Some of those people, ill probably never see again, and weve been together all these years, raised our families together, and cut up together and been mad at each other. And, you know, i dont know. I dont want it to come. laughs pelley not long ago, their son matt mightve followed them into a plant. But instead, hes at Randolph Community College Learning high tech manufacturing. Many of his classmates are in their 30s and 40s. Some of them can thank the government for recent increases in tuition assistance, and others in the county have survived on extended unemployment benefits. But with election day coming, many have lost patience with predictions of a recovery they dont quite see. When you see those ads, what do you think . Bobby berry i just lost confidence in all of them, to tell you the truth. I mean, you know, theyll make these promises around election time, and then it seems like, you know, after its over with, nothing. So, you know, i dont even know if ill vote. Pelley sugar, what do you think . Sugar berry it shouldnt be that were trying to oneup either side. It should be that were working together for the american people. And you have not seen that at all. Whoevers got something on the floor, the others going to do whatever they can do to veto it or be against it, instead of doing whats right for the american people. Pelley around purgatory mountain, jobs lost by the thousands are being reinvented by the hundreds. There is considerable doubt that another election will do very much about that. Folks around here believe that, if there is to be a brighter tomorrow, theyll have to build it themselves. Cbs money watch update sponsored by . Glor good evening. U. S. Exchange will keep trading electronically tomorrow even as Hurricane Sandy shuts down trading floors. The october jobs report due friday will be the last preelection snapshot of the labor market. And gas fell 13 cents in the last week to an average of 3. 55 a gallon. Im jeff glor, cbs news. Employee okay, great news. We can help people get term Life Insurance for as low as 14 a month. Wha. What were you guys thinking . Lucy i think it should be five cents. Charlie yeah, it should be five cents. Employee we cant do five cents. Lucy it should be five cents. Employee everything cant be five cents. Anncr call 1888metlife to buy or apply today. [ girl ] hey [ both laugh ] simon American History is housed in the National Archives 44 of them, spread all over the country. They contain documents, photos, maps, artifacts that go back to our founding fathers. Every school kid knows about some of them the declaration of independence, the constitution, the bill of rights. But there are millions of others, from the patent for Michael Jacksons moonwalking shoes to Benedict Arnolds loyalty oath. Many are priceless treasures, which means they attract not only scholars but thieves, more and more of them all the time. Getting to the crooks before they get to the archives has become a new priority in Law Enforcement. No one knows more about this than barry landau, a self described president ial historian and one of the foremost collectors of president ial memorabilia. Thats because barry landau carried out the largest theft of these treasures in American History. Prosecutors say he is one of the most accomplished con men they have ever encountered. For decades, he was a regular guest at the white house. Here he is with president ford and queen elizabeth. Hes the guy with the beard. President Ronald Reagan well. laughter simon he showed up with president reagan and nancy at the inaugural gala in 1985, and met a whole bunch of president s richard nixon, george h. W. Bush, bill clinton. He wrote an impressive, picture laden book, the president s table. And was invited to the finest anchor desks in town. Barry h. Landau is president ial historian. The story of the ultimate inauguration collector. Simon but when we met up with him in june, he no longer wanted to tell his story. Hed been convicted of the single largest theft of historic artifacts in the United States. He stole thousands of items, including hundreds of documents, signed by some of the most famous names in history george washington, thomas jefferson, Francis Scott key, marie antoinette, and voltaire. Hed pilfered them from museums and libraries all over the country. U. S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein was in charge of the prosecution. He was a con man . Rod rosenstein barry landau was a con artist. And he used his reputation as a president ial historian in order to gain the confidence of museums and other people who had custody of important documents. And then he stole them. It was a reputation, it turns out, that was the product of his rich imagination. Landau claimed hed worked for every president since lyndon johnson, had served as chief of protocol at the white house. Rosenstein but in fact, there is no evidence that barry landau was ever employed by any white house, or had any of the relationships he claimed to have, or indeed had any legitimate job at all. Simon the landau case, and a few others, let Law Enforcement know they had a problem they hadnt really been aware of until very recently. Paul brachfeld every institution now that has collections is threatened. We all know that there is a major threat and its getting larger. Simon former secret Service Employee Paul Brachfeld is the Inspector General of the National Archives. He runs the tiny and little known Archival Recovery Team armed federal agents and historians who, along with the fbi, go after stolen national treasures. Now, landau, was he a good thief . Was he a good con man . Brachfeld from everybody i talked to, he was a master thief. Because he did it over a duration of time. He shopped. He got what he shopped for. Pelley a trusted researcher and regular at libraries around the country, landaus strategy, along with his accomplice, they conquered with kindness, as they did here at the Maryland Historical society, where pat anderson is the director. Some thieves work with knives, others with guns. These guys worked with cupcakes. Pat anderson yes, they did. Yes, they did. They brought us cupcakes, and the second time they visited, they brought cookies. Evidently, they took treats to every repository they visited. Simon and it worked. Anderson it did work. Simon but on july 9 last year, the esteemed mr. Landau got careless, and Pat Andersons archivists got suspicious, caught them stealing, and called the police. How many things did they have when they were caught . Anderson they had 60 pieces of our library material. Simon okay, now, this is some of the stuff they stole . Tell me what were looking at. Anderson there are inauguration souvenirs. Simon from which inauguration . Anderson this is grover clevelands. And these are fun tickets to Andrew Johnsons impeachment trial in the u. S. Senate. And they grabbed a fistful of those. Simon i bet. There wasnt much security at the Maryland Historical society. But still, how do you walk out in front of the librarians desk with 60 documents . The secret was sartorial deep pockets. And those are his costumes . Rosenstein these are the jackets that mr. Landau used, and he had altered in order to steal items from the historical societies. Now, whats interesting about these coats is that he arranged for a tailor to install interior pockets, hidden pockets inside the jackets that are large enough to fit these documents. Simon landau had a whole collection of them, including a trench coat. How did you react when you saw his jackets . Brachfeld fascinated. Again, in my world, every criminal is different, every thief is different. And you just always. You kind of respect them. You kind of learn from them. Simon after the bust in maryland, Inspector General brachfeld and the fbi decided it would be a good idea to get a search warrant for landaus apartment in new york. It was your agents who broke into landaus apartment. How did they react when they found what they found . Brachfeld well, my focus was getting them a truck, because when we got to mr. Landaus apartment, we came to the quick realization that we needed a truck. This was, by far, in terms of quantity, the largest amount of documents and artifacts that weve ever recovered from one site. Simon 10,000 items, including 300 of extraordinary historical value. What were they worth on the market . Brachfeld i think the value was astronomical. And for me, its so difficult to put an empirical number on them. Its basically how much the market would bear. For all i know, to some collector, one document might have been worth millions. Simon all of these were found in landaus apartment . Rosenstein all of these documents were seized from mr. Landaus apartment in new york city. Simon there were remarkable documents letters signed by mark twain, sir isaac newton, charles dickens; a document penned by Lorenzo De Medici 533 years ago; an epitaph written by Benjamin Franklin for himself. And he wrote, lies here food for the worms, yet the work shall not be lost. Pretty good stuff. A letter written by john hancock with a real john hancock signature. And for 20th century buffs, there was the original reading copy of fdrs 1937 inaugural address this one. President Franklin Roosevelt one third of a nation, ill housed, ill clad, ill nourished. Rosenstein it was a rainy day. In fact, the reading copy of the speech, the document the president read from that day was waterlogged. And you can see that on the document that we seized from mr. Landau. Simon and landau didnt just steal from historical libraries. He had taken his campaign of kindness all the way to the white house, befriending president clintons former secretary, betty currie, who made the mistake of inviting landau to her house. Landau was pretty good at making friends with people who could help him, wasnt he . He spent nights at her place. Brachfeld bad, bad offer to invite him into your house. Simon he arrived at her house with one suitcase and left with two. Brachfeld the assistant u. S. Attorney actually upped that. I think he said it was three in court. So betty currie shouldve gotten up early that morning and basically escorted him out the door. I guess theres a lesson to be learned if you have a houseguest, say goodbye to them in your driveway. Simon he robbed her of more than 250 items, including copies of president ial speeches from her personal collection. Naturally, we wanted to ask barry landau about all of this, so this summer, we tried to talk to him in new york city. Bob simon, 60 minutes. Talk to us a minute. Barry landau no, no, no, no, no. Simon just answer some questions. Its. Youre being accused of a lot of things and we want to hear your side of it. They say. The prosecution says youre a con man, a thief. What do you say to that . Dont you have anything to say at this point in your own defense . Landau may have been the maestro of his craft, but there have been others thieves. This summer, prosecutors put Leslie Waffen behind bars. He was in charge of the archives audio and film records department. He stole thousands of original recordings and sold them on ebay, gems like this eyewitness account of the hindenburg disaster. Its a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen. The smoke and the flames. Oh, the humanity simon another employee stole most of the president ial pardons from the philadelphia archives, as well as hundreds of photos taken by astronauts in space and on the moon. Do you look on ebay for suspicious documents . Brachfeld that would be one of the sites we would look at. Many times, when a thief is trying to move a document on the internet, the buyer may be a federal agent. And thats real sweet. Simon youre talking sting operations . Brachfeld yes. Simon have you been successful with sting operations . Brachfeld yes. We ask our sentinels, historians and collectors and dealers, to help us. We go where a lot of federal employees usually arent welcome. Well go to gun shows, well go to dealer shows. Simon like the civil war collectors fair in gettysburg, pennsylvania. Here, hundreds of dealers and thousands of visitors show up every year to meander and to buy. Many documents, including a few signed by Ulysses Grant and robert e. Lee are for sale. Have any of them been stolen from archives or museums . Thats what Archival Recovery Team agents kelly maltagliati and Mitch Yockelson are looking for. What would you be happiest to find . Mitch yockelson were missing the Wright Brothers patent. That would thrill me to no end to recover the patent for the flying machine of 1903. Simon when did it disappear . Yockelson we dont even know. We discovered it was missing around 2003 when a staff member had wanted to pull it for an exhibit commemorating the centennial. Simon also missing, the bombing maps of hiroshima and nagasaki. So where do these things end up . Rosenstein in foreign countries. For example, in eastern europe, there is a market a black market for american historical documents. Simon how do these black markets function and where are they . Rosenstein i think its like any illegal market anywhere in the world. If you know of somebody who has a lot of money and wants to collect significant, unique items and you make that connection, then you may well be able to make the sale. Simon but barry landau has been put out of business. This summer, he was sentenced to seven years in prison. And thats not all. Rosenstein even after mr. Landau is released from prison, he will be prohibited from visiting museums, libraries, or any other places where documents are deposited. Simon one after effect of the landau case is that security is being tightened in many of these places. Pat anderson is imposing new rules in the Maryland Historical society. Anderson our patrons are no longer allowed to wear jackets in the reading room. And its unfortunate some of our older patrons, they get chilly, and we have to say im sorry and. So they can wear a shawl but they cant wear jackets, so. laughs simon youre going to have to hand out blankets. Anderson well, exactly and hope that they dont have pockets in them. Simon yeah. And ms. Anderson will not just be hoping. Shell be there on the front lines guarding our past. You are the custodians of more than these documents; youre sort of the custodians of American History. Anderson yes, we are. Were the stewards. We make sure it gets from one generation to the next. This is what survives of the american past. We never have all of it, which is what makes what survives so much more important. These things dont belong to us. They belong to the american people. Simon after we finished reporting this story, longtime Inspector General Paul Brachfeld was put on administrative leave with pay, in part, for allegedly leaking Sensitive Information to 60 minutes. He denies the allegations against him. Go to 60minutesovertime. Com to hear bob simon talk about the surprise interview in this story. Sponsored by pfizer. Hi, im phil mickelson. Ive been fortunate to win on golfs biggest stages. But when joint pain and stiffness from Psoriatic Arthritis hit, even the smallest things became difficult. I finally understood what serious joint pain is like. I talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. Enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. Because enbrel, etanercept, suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and Blood Disorders have occurred. Before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. Dont start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. [ phil ] get back to the things that matter most. Ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biolog medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. [ man ] hello hello [ all ] ohh that is crazy are you kidding me . Let me see oh what thats insane noooo mr. Woodson .

Find whats next for your business pitts last november, shahid khan, a 62yearold pakistani born billionaire, bought pro footballs Jacksonville Jaguars for 770 million. The deal made khan the first ethnic minority to own a team in the nfl. And that may be the least interesting thing about him. With his engaging personality and unflagging optimism, khan has taken the city of jacksonville, florida, by storm. Hes become the towns leading cheerleader, and has plans to turn the jaguars into an international brand. Shad, as he prefers to be called, came to the u. S. At age 16 with 500 to his name. Within two decades, he built a successful auto parts business and amassed a fortune. The jaguars havent had a winning season in four years and have never been to the super bowl. They are also a team short on bigname players. And thats put shad khan in a unique position for a rookie owner. He is the face of the franchise. I love you, guy. I love you shahid khan who has the bigger mustache . Hey, theres as goodlooking woman pitts 90 minutes to kickoff, and the jaguars most popular personality wasnt in the locker room or warming up on the field. He was in the Stadium Parking lot, drawing a crowd. Khan so, byron, its probably a really humbling day for 60 minutes. You know, nobody cares about 60 minutes. Everybody cares about the jaguars. Isnt that amazing . Pitts less than a year into his tenure, shad khan is a phenomenon. His rakish mustache has become a must have accessory for any selfrespecting jags fan. We are so happy that youre here with us khan oh, thank you so much. Pitts he has an Approval Rating any politician would envy, 78 . Hes his teams advertising spokesman. Khan im jaguars owner shad khan, and im all in. Pitts . And pokes fun at himself in this music video spoof. Khan oohpah gangnam style pitts theres a part of you that is a salesman. Khan i think its human interaction. I mean, theyre already here, they bought tickets, theres very little to sell. If anything, selling hope. Are we going to cover the spread . laughter khan i dont even know what it is. Thank you. Pitts while khan enjoys rock star status today, news that a muslim from pakistan had bought the jaguars did not go over well with everyone in this conservative corner of northeast florida. In comments quoted in online media, khan was called, among other things a terrorist from pakistan, a sand monkey. One person asked, if you buy a jags season ticket, does it come with a prayer rug . Howd you react to that . Khan ah, well, you know, the way i reacted most of my life, which is its not really my problem; its their problem. It was not jacksonvilles finest moment. Pitts so its true that the former owner, wayne weaver, was so embarrassed that he offered you a chance to get out of the deal . Khan well, please, i wouldnt characterize it that way. I think he was surprised. And he wanted to just make sure that, you know, it wasnt giving me pause. Pitts and it gave you none at all . Khan none whatsoever. It was like. As a matter of fact, if it was possible for me to be more determined, it, you know, gave me more determination. Pitts that determination can be traced back to a childhood half a world away in the hot, dusty streets of lahore, pakistans second largest city. Khan this is the lahore fort. Pitts last spring, we went to lahore with khan to visit his family. Hi pitts he took us to his boyhood home. Khan meet my guest. Pitts hello, maam. Where we met his 89yearold mother, zakia, a retired math professor, and his younger brother, faran, a businessman. How do you explain it . Your son, your boy, is one of the richest men in the world. How do you explain that . Zakia khan well, its his hard work. And luck, also. Faran khan as his friends say, he always knew about his destiny. He had that entrepreneur, i would say, instincts which made him succeed like this. Pitts khans late father, rafiq, sold surveying equipment. He preached humility and frugality and encouraged his sons early business ventures. As a child, khan built and sold radios, and made his friends pay to borrow his comic books. And this is where the future owner of an american Pro Football Team spent many afternoons as a boy, the citys cricket stadium, home to Pakistans National team. Khan this is where, you know, the big Sports Events happen. Pitts so this is your yankee stadium, your Soldier Field . Khan absolutely. We would walk over and, you know, get here after tea time so we could walk in free. Pitts that was big, because your dad wasnt big on spending money on tickets. Khan no, he was not. Never bought a ticket ever. laughter pitts and proud of that . Khan and proud of that. laughter pitts that evening, chatting over tea above lahores royal mosque, we were treated to a regular feature of pakistani life, a cut in power. Now, that happens a lot in pakistan, ive noticed. Khan yes. Pitts when the lights came back on, we talked about coming home. When many people come home, they revel in being at home again. They Wax Nostalgic about what it means to be back. But youre not that way. Why . Khan because, oh, my god, i mean, you know, youve been here. See how hard things are . You know, powers going out, its 108 degrees. Its tough. But i think this is physical things. I think the biggest impediment here is that hope, and you know, getting to the next stage. It doesnt matter how hard you work, there are forces that kind of prevent you from being the best you can be. Pitts in january 1967, with 500 in his pocket, shad khan set out for america. He was 16 years old. Hed been accepted at the university of illinois in champaignurbana to study mechanical engineering. He spent his first night at the local ymca. So your room was on this side of the building . Khan it was. Dormitory, i believe it was this side right here. Pitts his room at the y set him back just 2. But khan was so afraid of running out of money, he headed out the next morning to find a job. Khan got up and walked up on wright street, and they were hiring dishwashers, 1. 20 was, wow, i think im going to make it. This is my liberation. I control my destiny and. Pitts a job washing dishes. Khan yes. Pitts . Would allow you to control your own destiny. Khan 1. 20 an hour, thats big money. I mean, more than what 99 of the people in pakistan were making. I can control my destiny, i control my life. Pitts the teenager from pakistan adapted easily to life on the illinois campus. He was invited to join the highly selective and allwhite Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Why do you think they accepted you . Were you a novelty to them . Khan i think it was definitely a novelty for them. Pitts sure, john smith from cleveland, Michael Thompson from chicago, and, oh, shahid khan from pakistan. Khan exactly. So it was kind of fun for them to see what this is going to turn out to be. Pitts it turned out well for khan. Through a frat brother, he met fellow student ann carlson. After dating for 11 years as khan built his business, he and ann married at a las vegas wedding chapel. They have two grown children. Gets awfully loud in here. Khan yeah, its loud in here. Its the sound of money. Pitts shad khan made his fortune in, of all things, truck bumpers. Right out of college, he went to work for a Small Company called flexngate, where he helped perfect the first onepiece truck bumper. It was revolutionary, lightweight and didnt rust. Khan bought the company in 1980 for 800,000. So, today, you make bumpers for how many different kinds of cars and trucks . Khan a lot, a lot. laughs pitts flexngate parts are on twothirds of all the cars and trucks sold in america. Last year, it had sales of 3. 5 billion. And all those bumpers landed khan on the forbes list of the 400 richest people in america. Khan just keep me posted, and then i think well figure out what to do. Pitts he has been living the American Dream for 45 years and has been a citizen since 1991. But khans ethnic background has made him a victim of racial profiling. In the aftermath of 9 11, he says, traveling back to the u. S. Became a humiliating ordeal. There were endless questions and searches by immigration. On one occasion, he was detained while crossing the bridge between canada and detroit. Khan got thrown in the brig. Pitts thrown in jail . Khan well, they had a little holding pen in the bridge. Pitts how long were you sitting there . Khan maybe five, six hours. But you know whats disturbing is they take your passport, they take the phone, they take everything. So you are just sitting there helpless for hours. Pitts youre a successful businessman. Youve done nothing wrong. Khan yeah, yeah, but you know, its like their intentions are good. Pitts come on, now, youre the most generous man. Youre always willing to make excuses for people for the things they do. Khan well you know, i got to be honest with you, thats about the only thing that kind of made me a little bit angry. Pitts while he enjoys returning to pakistan to see his family, khan says hes concerned by the radical shift in Political Attitudes there. When we were with you in lahore, one of the shop owners. And we asked him, when did things begin to change in pakistan, and he said. Went like this when the long beards took over. Khan yeah, yeah, and hes absolutely right. I think its not religion itself. I mean, its the baggage that comes with it, frankly, thats in the name of religion, people are doing horrible things. Pitts and in the pakistan of your youth, you could. Whatever your faith was was acceptable. Khan absolutely, and not only was it acceptable, it was respected. Pitts the man who grew up on cricket in pakistan says his passion for american football began at the university of illinois, cheering on the fighting illini. With Financial Success came the opportunity to buy into the game at the highest level. Khan says he leaves the football side of the business to others, but expects the best from his players. So one of his first moves was to provide them with whats said to be the best locker room in the nfl. Khan this is about comfort. This is about recognition. This is about setting standards. Pitts and in a strategy he hopes will pay dividends for the team and jacksonville, he announced plans for the jaguars to play one home game in london for the next four seasons. But shad khans biggest challenge will be fielding a more competitive team. Jacksonville jaguars a disaster pitts the jaguars appear headed for a fifth straight losing season, bad news for a team thats already the least valuable, least popular franchise in the nfl. Why did you buy this team . Why not buy one of the, for the lack of a better phrasing, marquee nfl teams . Khan well, because you buy whats available for sale. So, this isnt like going on craigslist and picking up an nfl team, okay . You know, for me, its been like fate. Its just like saying, you know, im from pakistan, you are 16 why go to champaignurbana . Why not go to new york or go someplace else .

Pelley in the mail, comments on our story about the thriving medical Marijuana Industry in colorado. Many focused on the u. S. Justice departments restrained response to the states legalization, regulation and taxation of what is, after all, a serious federal crime. Why is the obama administrations policy for enforcing federal law different in colorado from its harsh enforcement in california . Is it because colorado is a swing state .
