>> i think, i hate to say so crudely, but he's replaceable. >> reporter: is there any iranian involved in their nuclear program who is irreplaceable? >> not as far as anyone can tell. >> reporter: except for possibly this man, a mysterious figure who is believed to head their nuclear weapons program but has never been seen in public. >> certainly intelligence agencies that are interested in assassination would have a high interest in killing him. >> reporter: the c.i.a. would no doubt like to see him dead, but is barred by an executive order from conducting assassinations like the one last week. >> let me state what the secretary of state made clear. >> reporter: defense secretary panetta used to run the c.i.a.. >> we were not involved in any way, in any way with regards to the assassination that took place there. i'm not sure who was involved. we have some ideas as to who might be involved but we don't know exactly who was involved. but i can tell you one thing: the united states was not involved in that kind of effort. that's not what this united states does. >> reporter: you don't have to be a former c.i.a. director to have the idea that israel, which views iran's nuclear program as a threat to its very existence, was involved in that and other assassinations of iranian scientists. how many people would you estimate are involved in iran's nuclear program? >> there are thousands involved. i mean, i would estimate hundreds of professional people, sort of the top level. >> reporter: so in the past two years, three have been killed. what kind of impact is that? >> it doesn't have much direct impact, i would say. >> reporter: it certainly has not stopped iran from enriching uranium to higher levels of purity by running it through the september fudges. but according to dennis ross, who until recently was the obama administration's point man on iran, the enrichment program is way behind schedule. >> by their own measure, they should have been at 60,000 centrifuges now. they're operating at about 8,000 installed so that's dramatically short of where they would have been. >> reporter: that's due in part to something called... a computer virus thatñoó someone perhaps the u.s., perhaps israel infiltrated into the control systems that runq theo1d centrifuges.8ndçó causing them to spin out of controlñi andñi self destruct. >> i think thet(ñ!i virus attemi would estimate set them back about a year. >> reporter: now iran says it's owned añi new uraniumçóxñ enrichment plant dug deep into a mountad to step up production. >> by the end of this year, they are going to have about 250 kilos of this 20% enriched uranium which is a matter of concern for the international community. >> reporter: only this man, who used to inspect iran's centrifuges for the i a he he says 20% enriched uranium is only one step away from bomb- grade material.;or]iñ >> once you have 25 kilos of this material in one month's time you can produce uranium enough for a nuclear bomb. >> reporter: before that happens the u.s. and its european allies intend to levy úau:r sanctions on iran that would put its central bank out of business.-iuxd >> it's a bigñwoblem for iran because basically the central bank handles all the payments for their oil.xdñr so it ivi obviously a way toñi affect iran's ability to sell their oil. >> reporter: on top of that, /:1bqf÷uter: on top of that, imports of iranian oil. >> about 18% of their oil exports go to europe.xd you' fifth of the revenues they're generating from their oilñr comv out of europe. >> reporter:çó iran's response has been to stage war games and threaten to close the straight of hormuz through which 15 million barrelsñr of=> for theñi iranians to act ond that threat, they doñr anybody else. >> reporter: closing the strait would alienate virtually every nation which depends onñr mideast oil or cares about th[dxd price ofw3 o. >> this wouldn't just be with the united states that would have a concern about keeping it open. it would be the international community and it would be some of their most important trading partners like china, for example. >> reporter: actually, the u.s. would be more than just concerned if iran tried to close the strait.lp >> we cannot tolerate iran blocking the straits of hormuz. and that's a red line. >> reporter: and panetta says there is another red line. >> wexd cannot allow them to develop a nuclear weapon. that's a red line.ñi >> reporter: if it comes to that, the stealth bomber has been outfitted with a 30,000- pound bunker busting bomb designed to destroy iran's underground nuclear facilities. >> we sat down.... >> reporter: in an interview with scott pelley for "60 minutes," panetta warned iran could cross the nuclear red line as early as this year. >> so, are you saying that iran could have a nuclear weapon in 2012? >> it would be sometime around a year that they would be able to do it. >> when the secretary of defense said a year, that's the worse. case. >> i don't believe... you know, i've not seen others say that they think that they could have it within a couple of months. >> reporter: that's the worst case. what's the more likely case? >> more probably be several years. >> reporter: several years. that sounds like time enough for sanctions to decimate iran's economy and make the ayatollahs think twice about how badly they want the bomb. there's one problem. >> the israelis look at what time they have available still to them to use it as an option if it was necessary. >> reporter: israel's defense minister has warned iran will soon have dispersed its nuclear facility and hidden them underground to the point at a militaryxd strike could >> he has publicly given interviews where he talks about six to nine months from now. >> reporter: the red lines are fast approaching. fascination, sabotage and sanctions might delay them. but they will not be erased unless and until iran gives up its nuclear ambitions. >> osgood: stepping out with the waltz king. next. >> it's sunday morning on cbs and here again is charles osgood. >> osgood: shall we dance is a question with an irresistible answer. richard roth shows us why. ♪ >> reporter: whether it's sydney, australia, or mexico city, or philadelphia, the evening may begin with a big parade but the crowd that's come for this music man and his virtuosos has really come to hear a waltz. ♪ 62-year-old dutch violinist andre rieu calls his music a mirror of light, a mix of melancholy and joy. and he's happy to be known as the waltz king. >> when i play in an arena and we start our waltz and then i see the whole audience smiling and being happy, that's fantastic. >> reporter: wherever they are, he'll have them waltzing in the aisles before the night is over. ♪ >> reporter: this is classical music, it's been said, for people who don't enjoy classical music. rieu calls that just snobbery. >> the elite say that it belongs to us. it's a sort of way to say i'm better than you or i'm more than you. >> reporter: you're giving it back. >> i think, yes. it's not my mission but i could not make music in any other way. >> reporter: he learned that early. he was only five when he picked up the violin at home in holland where his father led the local symphony. young andre sat and listened. >> he played strauss waltzes because he loved them. then i saw the audience and i thought, what happened?

>> that you can change people's behavior by changing your attitude toward them. >> reporter: people handle is the latest ceo of the carnegie empire that sells those books and teaches those courses promising to bring you out of your shell, speak better, listen better, be a better person and persuade other people to do what you want. >> do you know how many people have taken the course? >> we estimate eight million. >> reporter: eight million. that's the size of a country. >> some countries, that's right. you're exactly right. >> reporter: and there are some impressive alumni. orville redenbacher took the course. so did warren buffet and john boehner. students are attracted in large part by the book, how to win friends and influence people published in 1936. it's a collection of par ables and principles, simple business advice more hallmark than harvard like smile. be nice to people. don't humiliate them. don't bully them. so with apologies, why do people need to pay good money to learn that. >> it's common sense. the difference is it's not common practice. we're going to start today with a representation of what may be going on every time you try to convey a message. >> reporter: at a dale carnegie class, everyone speaks sometimes at the same time learning to get their message across. this course, which costs close to $2,000 for eight sessions is pretty much the same today as it was when carnegie himself started teaching 99 years ago. >> we can agreeably disagree on something, then future endeavors with each other, it usually comes back. >> reporter: bernie dix was sent here by his boss at a new york city dry cleaners. >> for tailoring, i can't do that. >> reporter: by his own admission he had a few issues dealing with customers. >> who do i have to call? marlene and lorain? >> reporter: he's working on it though. >> i've learned how to pause. >> reporter: how to pause. >> how to pause before i react, to think about what i'm saying before it comes out of my mouth. it's something i never quite had a grasp on. >> reporter: did you used to tell off customers? >> i had rough edges. okay? you get to approach it from a different angle at a future date. you don't close the door. >> reporter: he's a little smoother now, he says, thanks in part to this somewhat kay on theic exercise. >> 30 seconds. please begin. (laughing). >> as required snts (both talking at the same time) >> reporter: what did you learn from that? two people talking at the same time? >> it doesn't work. >> reporter: you didn't need a class to know that, did you? >> dealing with the public on a daily basis, you sometimes forget. so when you come back, we'll look at that order. >> reporter: dale carnegie started teaching his classes in 1912. i was born dirt poor on a farm in maryville, missouri, but he went to college. the story is he turned to public speaking to win friends in college. since he wasn't very athletic and felt inferior to the jocks. after college he became a traveling salesman. he did well. he tried acting. he did not do well. >> may i give you one little bit of advice. >> please. >> reporter: later in life he tried acting again. >> when you're talking to somebody, why not let the other person finish what he's saying. >> reporter: that's carnegie playing himself in the movie "jigs and maggie in society" starring nobody else most people have ever heard of. >> mr. carnegie i didn't come here to be insulted. >> temper, temper, temper. >> reporter: but by then, in real life almost everyone had heard of him. hundreds of thousands had signed up to hear him speak. >> the man who is enthusiastic will find that the scales tip in his favor. >> he didn't knock people off their perchs, you know, i think that was the secret of his charm, why people liked to hear him speak was that you knew that this is the real person talking to you. >> reporter: the late dorothy carnegie was dale's wife. she spoke in this 1994 interview. >> he is not a stuffy man at all. -he was so down to earth you felt like you had known him all your life. >> reporter: he had been teaching for more than 20 years when when an editor for simon and schuster took his class and convinced him to write a book, the book that launched the empire. it's estimated that it sold more than 30 million copies. this is the original manuscript? >> yes. >> reporter: of how to win friends and influence people. this is under glass preserved much like the declaration of independence and the constitution are. brenda johnson is the keeper of the carnegie flame and an indirect descendent of his. she's in charge of the heritage room at dale carnegie headquarters in long island. >> it's important to our history. it's a part of who dale carnegie was and what this company was about. he wrote "how to win friends" as a textbook to go along with his classes. >> reporter: and now the book has been updated for the digital age. it turns out you can win friends and influence people virtually any time, even if you never actually see them. dale carnegie was very big on smiling. how do you smile in an email? i guess using on an emoticon. would he have thought of that? >> i don't know. that's a very good question. you can choose words that will communicate that. if it takes longer. >> reporter: sir, tell me how you smile in an email. >> just saying i'm having a great day. i hope you are too. that's kind of a pleasant way of saying something. >> reporter: but then you have to say where the sales reports? >> yeah, you get to that. >> reporter: by all reports, sales at dale carnegie give the company every reason to smile. today the courses are offered in more than 80 countries from china to cameroon. it strikes me that a lot of the stories that he tells in his book are quintessentialally american stories. so how does that translate to somebody in beijing? >> a fascinating question, richard. that's something i've been really.... >> reporter: dale carnegie told you to say that. >> he did but i would have said it before. the fact is because human nature is the same all over the world, the principles that dale carnegie teaches really do work all over the world. what do we want people to do as a result of our experience? >> reporter: and as humans it feels natural to pay someone to tell us, "be nice to others. follow the golden rule. " even though parents and grandparents have been giving this advice for generations and for free. >> osgood: coming up, how steven spielberg put war horse on the screen. and later. >> what a treat. >> osgood: dark and sweet. have i got a surprise for you! a mouthwatering combination of ingredients... i know you're gonna love.

"war horse" is about joey, a farm horse sold to the british army in 1914 at the beginning of world war i. >> he won't be any good in the war neither. he shys at every sound. >> i'm sorry. >> reporter: and it's about albert, the boy who loves him. so much he sets out to find him at the battle front. why did you want to make this? >> because i just loved joey so much, and i loved his relationship with albert. i just hated to see them separated, and i couldn't wait to see how they would ever come together again. that really pulled me. >> action, action! >> reporter: long before a single scene of spielberg's film was shot, war horse was a novel for young adults published in 198. ... 19282. the author intended it as an anti-war statement. he was inspired by conversations at his local pub in the picturesque english village in devon with an elderly world war i veteran named albert. albert weeks. >> i was 17. i was there 1 with the horses. and he started talking. the more he talked the more upset he became. the young man had come away from a completely pastoral background and thrust into this hideous french warfare. the only thing i think that kept him sane was that he said that he would talk to his horse. >> reporter: ten million men died in world war i. and it's believed about the same number of horses. >> so what i had to do was to start out with an idea which would be acceptable to the sensitivities of young people, which is why it's told through the eyes of a horse. because the child can access that. much more readily. >> reporter: in other words, joey telling his own story. now fast forward nearly three decades. war horse the play is a theatrical phenomenon. >> get ready to jump. >> reporter: the national theater of great britain's most successful production ever. ♪ only remembered > last year it opened at lincoln center in new york city and won five tony awards. the story is told by larger than life puppets, horses so extraordinary you forget they're not real. for the stage adaptation, details from the book had to be changed. >> when i first saw the play i kept saying where's that? that isn't there. picky, picky, picky. but then when i had seen it once or twice and i was able to sit back and relax and look at it not as a dramatization of my story. it's like handing a baby over, you know. >> reporter: the author has actually gotten to be in it. as a bidder when joey is auctioned off as a colt. so he no longer minds that scenes and characters were left out or even added, like this goose. >> i don't know. the goose made me laugh. the goose came out. it was welcome relief. i needed to laugh. >> reporter: so the goose made it even steven spielberg's movie. >> i had a few tears in my eyes in the first act. i needed that goose to dry my eyes and i needed something to divert my attention from something i knew was inevitably coming down the road against this family and against joey and albert being together. >> reporter: in the film, the horses are real. 14 different horses play joey. from book to play to movie, one story, three radically different takes. what can you do and what can't you do in a movie when you're trying to translate something that has been the book and been the play? >> well, you can pretty much do anything because, you know, in terms of the book and the play, it's different and you have to basically devote all of your energy and all of your passion to the medium at hand. and so there was a point where i had to forget the book and i had to forget the play and i just had to make my version of war horse. >> reporter: central to all three versions, the end of an era in warfare. the fact that world war i was when tanks replaced war horses. in the play, a moment symbolized by this terrible confrontation. here it is in the film. in all three tellings, joey's run ends in the hellish desolation of no man's land. he's trapped in the tangle of barbed wire separating the germans and british. they stop fighting when they see him. >> action! >> i see it as a story about the connections that an animal can make that perhaps only an animal can make in bringing people together. and bringing everybody on the same side of an issue, even an issue as large as the great war or the first world war. ♪ who will tell the story? >> reporter: now a postscript. the novel begins in the old school they use now for the village hall below the clock that has stood always at one minute past 10:00. there hangs a small dusty painting of a horse, joey. tourists flock to see it. but of course it didn't exist. >> they go to the lady who is a dear friend of mine who lives next door and knock on their door and say we want to see the picture. she says it's gone to be cleaned or it's not... it's in a museum. all sorts of fibs she was telling. >> reporter: while on location with spielberg, the author and his wife commissioned an artist working on the film to paint one. so now in the village hall, there really is a painting of joey. a fictional horse with truth to tell. ♪ only remember for what we have done ♪ >> osgood: steaming hot chocolate coming right up. ♪ tell me what you really mean ♪ do you know what you want?

me i have an irregular heartbeat,mber the day r and that it put me at 5-times greater risk of a stroke. i was worried. i worried about my wife, and my family. bill has the most common type of atrial fibrillation, or afib. it's not caused by a heart valve problem. he was taking warfarin, but i've put him on pradaxa instead. in a clinical trial, pradaxa 150 mgs reduced stroke risk 35% more than warfarin without the need for regular blood tests. i sure was glad to hear that. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding, and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or bloodthinners, or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all medicines you take, any planned medical or dental procedures, and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval, as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk of stroke with pradaxa. captioning made possible by johnson & johnson, where quality products for the
