He has the eye and the hand of an artist. His works have been compared to some of the great painters of the 19th century, but heres the caveat ken perenyi is now most famous for his fakes. Do you think qowfers as an art forger . Yeah. And youre okay with that . Fine, yeah. For me, it was a contest of wits. He was good enough to dupe the art world, but is he a painter or a pariah .

The week ahead starts off mild in the northeast with chance of storms midweek. Next. Well, i just felt if i can outsmart them, so much the better. The art of the fake. Come on. Come on and later,, the collector who falls for the art of the fake is likely to feel embarrassed, to say the least. Not so the fakeer, who has taken so many of those collectors in. We spoke to a painter who prides himself on being a master forger, and his nefarious work is the subject of our sunday morning cover story. The story youre about to hear is a confession of a talent tempted, of a painter driven into a darker form of art. Well, i just felt that if i can outsmart them, so much the better. His name is ken perenyi, selftaught for the most part. I learned to paint by looking very carefully at paintings in museums. I just felt that if i had paints and brushes, i could do that too. I was convinced. He learned well. His steady hand, his eye for detail are often compared to many of the 19th century masters. But perenyi didnt just use his paintbrush to please. For him, his art was also a con. It was me against the experts. Can i outsmart them again . Can i outwit them . Can i succeed . Can i make a fake and pass it off as an original . You heard right, make a fake. Perenyi spent a lifetime ripping off art dealers and auction houses by painting fakes so accurate that few could tell the difference between his forgeries and the real thing. Did you get a rush from doing it . Yeah, sure. It was addictive . Absolutely. Risk is addictive, whether its gambling or the stock market, its like going out for the hunt. This here is a Morten Johnson heed that i painted. Not a Martin Johnson . Hes not apologetic about his misdeeds. In fact, hes downright proud. Its something that im particularly pleased with. The detail is amazing. Thank you. Yeah. He carefully nurtured his dubious craft in a way many cherish a fine wine. And hes now written a tellall book caveat emptor, buyer beware, detailing every dirty deed he did. Youre certainly not asking anybodys forgiveness. Youre gloating about it, about getting away with it. I wouldnt characterize it about gloating. Id say its being honest. Perenyi never meant to be a forger. He had meant to be an artist in his own right when he started in the 1960s in new york, but his original work wasnt getting much attention. So he turned to a small flemish portrait he had once copied out of a book. It became the first fake he ever sold. As i was approaching the gallery, i started getting very nervous. I was begood evening to realize, maybe this was crazy. But i forced myself to do it. His sales pitch was always simple and calculated. You were very careful not to ever pass your fakes off as real. You went in and sort of played dumb, said, i dont really know what this is, i bought it at a garage sale and found it somewhere, what do you think, and let them make their own judgment. In a sense i guess i got a perverse pleasure out of it. I like to present the painting and let the expert explain to me what i have. Youd stand there watching them go over the painting inch by inch. That was part of the pleasure of the whole thing. He, of course, is not first art forger, but perenyi is perhaps one of the most prolific. He learned to imitate an astonishing range of 19th century painters, like maritime artist james buttersworth, known for the delicate lines on his sails. This is an original buttersworth. Now look at kens forgery of a buttersworth. Thats all done freehand. Nothing is drawn in with pencils or anything. Thats actually done with a brush, and you have to have an incredibly steady hand to achieve that. And thats what buttersworth was noted for, and even that little ship there, if you look very closely, has lines painted as fine as a human hair painted on it. How did you learn how to do that . A lot of practice. Theres john f. Herring, whose equestrian paintings had a unique look. This is one of my favorites right here. Ken copied him, as well, right down to the bootstraps. He took particular care in the boot and the saddle and in the face of the jockey. And it is a very difficult technique to understand and master. But the crown jewel of his forgeries was a Martin Johnson heed. In 1994, it went on the sothebys Auction Block as an original. That night he took home a receipt for 650,000, money to be wired to his account. Is that your biggest score you ever had . On one painting, yeah. Just typical business. Just typical business. Yeah. To you maybe, not to most people. All these little loss where the paint slipped off, youve done all of that on purpose . Oh, absolutely, yeah. It wasnt only the paintings themselves he forged. I like the effects of age. He learned to fake time himself. I often like to look at the backs of my paintings and hang them this way. Because youre more proud of that . Yeah, yeah, i think this is an illusion that i like to create. How well can you making something look really old thats all brandnew . He became an expert at faking the forensics of a painting, weathering wooden frames, staining a perfectly new canvas to make it look old. It discolors through the years, and i learned to simulate that. So thats all made up . Its all made up. Its all brandnew. He mimicked chalk marks left by auction houses and recreated stamps from dealers. Thats a new stamp. I make those on copy machines and then stain them with tea and glue them on there. Youve got a process for everything. Yes. Even the nails he used to pin the canvas down were period. Okay. But perhaps most important of all, is his ability to replicate how oil paint cracks with age. There are patterns, he says, like a spider web, that with heat and the right chemicals he can reproduce like father time himself. This is a very beautiful example of a portrait with a very fine cracking pattern. And if you look at these closely, youll see a nice sweeping pattern to them. Thats a nice touch of authenticity. Its an ongoing process. Im still perfecting it today. He says today because hes still painting fakes. Only now he sells them as fakes. The look of the real thing for much cheaper. But why come clean now . Well, because he almost got caught. The f. B. I. Had been investigating forgeries at the big auction houses, sothebys and christies and had traced a few suspected paintings back to perenyi. But he dodged their questions saying he didnt know the origin of the paintings. He had just passed them along. Were they ever wrong in any of their accusations . No. They nailed it. Sure, yeah. It was pretty hard to deny it. And yet the f. B. I. Never filed charges, even perenyi isnt sure why. All he knows is that now no one can touch him. The statute of limitations on his misdeeds has run out. You lied to the agents. Yeah, i would say so, yeah. But, well, thats in my world thats vital. Its part of the game. As you might imagine, it was no game to those in the art world. So what is, ken, in your mind . A thief. Essentially hes a thief on the loose. Brenda simonsonmole is an art appraisor in dallas. She read perenyis bold confession with disgust. It does irritate me. Its bank robbery with a paintbrush. But if you ask him, he says its pretty much a victimless crime. Its not really a victimless crime. Someone ends up with essentially fools gold, you know, on their walls. While hes up front now about his fakes, he left a very long trail. He estimates there are about 1,000 of his forged works still out there, duping wouldbe buyers to this day. Its like bumping into an old friend, you know, its good to see where theyve gone in the world. But dont we all suffer a little from having fakes out there . I dont think so. I think that ive made a contribution to the art world. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say, so whether you see him as painter or a conartist, perenyi himself seems most proud of being both. A real Sticking Point coming up. The only thing we have to fear is. Fear itself. [ male announcer ] 1. 21 gigawatts. Today, thats easy. Ge is revolutionizing power.

A Research Team led by richard drew had spent nearly a year developing the clear, sticky tape, which 3m proceeded to market under the brand name scotch. From first, sales of the new allpurpose tape were on a roll, boosted by the demonstrations of its toughness, Strong Enough to tow a car, too strong for mr. America to pull aparts. By the 1950s, a series of tv ads made their debut, starring cartoon pitch man scotty mctape. Its smooth sailing with scotch brand cellophane tape. I am thrifty. In 1978 the ubiquitous tape became a pop culture artifact when saturday night live imagined a store that sold nothing else. Oh, welcome to scotch boutique. Do you sell any recording tape here . New york just the sticky kind. See, i told you. Next time you need the sticky kind, youll know where to come. Participants in an art show in britain last year didnt need to be sold on scotch tapes virtue, rolling out a series of remarkable sculptures fashioned from little more than just a few roles of tape. Although Research Engineer richard drew died in 1980, the Company Still adheres to the standard of convenience he pioneered.

Michael jackson tonight on 60 school is back in session around the country and starts tomorrow at the urban Dove Team Charter School here in new york city. Its a school that goes against the grain. Instead of cutting back on phys ed classes, its actually using sports as a hook to draw in atrisk students. Our jeff glor paid a visit to ask its founder just how he does it and why. When you first told people you wanted to start a school based around sports, physical acttivities. Youre crazy. That was the reaction you got . Youre crazy. What are you doing . Why would you do that . Starting a school is an extremely difficult proposition. Perhaps even more difficult because jay nanda decided to launch his new school last year in in the bedfordstivson neighborhood of new york city. Weve seen a lot of high school dropouts, a lot of obesity. Weve created a school that attacks Health Issues where its so critical. Youre inside a church. For now. The lab for this school is two floors of this pentecostal church, which hes renting until he finds a permanent home. The kids come here from all over the city. 93 live below the poverty line. Many never showed up for class at their old schools. But nanda actively recruits kids that other schools have given up on. So when you go to these schools and say, give me your worst students, their reaction is . Awesome. Great. And from. Not from a we dont like them, but someone else can educate them and get them to be successful, great. We cant do it. You want em, you got em. Its a win for everybody. Nandas approach was to flip the whole idea of school on its head. At a time when only six states require phys ed in every grade and nine states require recess, he decided to make sports the cornerstone of his program. When students here arrive at school, they dont sit behind a desk. They spend the first three hours of every day with their team and coaches. They play basketball, lift weights, jump rope, use punching bags, ride bikes and do yoga. Physical education, sports, athletics, i think its being dismissed. We need to recognize that a full education requires that kids are active. What is it about sports . Its fun. Kids enjoy doing it. I think theres Something Special about being on a team. Kids look at a coach differently. Theyre willing to share. Theyre willing to listen. Hey, whats going on . Whats the problem . Why are you angry . Why are you upset . Its me, coach. Thats a unique conversation. You can do that. That may be whats most unique about the program. When kids go to social studies, english and math, their coach goss with them, sitting in class, helping with homework and sorting out problems. We caught up with one of the coaches, alanna arthurs. We see them bright and early in the morning, and then were the last person to see them at the end of the day. You see them in the gym. You see them in the classroom. In the hallway. I follow them. Its weird. You follow them . Yes. Why . As soon as they walk out that classroom, i am behind them, trying to find out, you know, why did you walk out . Whats wrong . I feel the need personally to find out whats going on, how can i help, how can i fix it and how can i get do you back in the classroom so you can continue to learn. When we visited last spring, two of the schools star students were mia and cheniel. Mia says there were many reasons she didnt go to her old school. You could cut class, there were fights. Here i dont feel like leaving because its fun. Do you like having sports for three hours in the morning. Does that tire you out . Im ready for class after that. I have more energy. Im just sweaty but im not tired. It was jay nandas experience as a coach that first led him to create an Afterschool Program for innercity kids in 1998. His idea was to reach atrisk students by challenging them to lead younger children. Its all about empowerment, giving them the responsible toy deliver the lesson, be the mentor, the role model. Once you have that as a foundation, then theyre willing to transform all kinds of things in their lives. Over the past 15 years, hundreds of teens have gone through the Afterschool Program, and nanda says the resultses speak for themselves. Over 98 graduate from high school and College Attendance rates are at 95 . Based on that success, and a federal grant, nanda was able to start his charter school, but not everything has been easy. Youve lost some kids. Youve had to kick some kids out. Yep. Realistically, how many of these kids can you keep and succeed with . We started with about 108 kids. Right now were at about 95. So weve lost about 10 of our kids over the first year. Thats not bad. One of the true believers is darrin rippy, head coach and guidance councilor. Hes constantly in motion, herding kids into class. Keep it moving. Intervening when there is a problem. Im going to contact your mother. Rippy keeps families on speed dial and spends a lot of his time disciplining kids, including 15yearold gillette hood. Hes battling anger issues. We were there when gillette returned to school with his grandma after a week suspension. She was furious. She said, you are not that guy that youre trying to be. Youre perpetrating a fraud. You have to make sure that youre helping the situation instead of hurting it, correct . So when you get ready to get angry and stuff like that, i want you to picture me in your face, okay . Picture grandma. What im going to give you when you get back home. You would have been in another school, police would have been involved. I promise to do better i guess. I mean, i know. Lots of students at urban dove are still struggling. Like gillette. But hes grateful to have a second chance, and hes trying to turn things around. Youve lost 65 pounds since youve been here . Yeah. Do you feel better about yourself . Of course. I feel perfect about myself. Perfect about yourself . Yes. With so much stacked against these students, Small Victories are worth celebrating, and theyre part of the reason why nanda is already looking ahead. Theres too many kids that need something to help them, and if weve figured out a way to help a group of kids do it, then weve got to help more kids do it. If we come back in a few years. Yeah. Where will these kids be . On their way to graduating high school and going on the college with all the skills and all the tools they need with no obstacles in their mind as to what their future can be. Year two at urban dove starts tomorrow. While mia wont be there, her family is moving to new jersey, most of the students will return, along with 85 new classmates. Nearly doubling the school in size. Oh i get by with a little help from my friends ahead, how the beatles got by with a little help from her. ,,,,, oh yeah i. Tell you something i think youll understand and i say that something i want to hold your hand i want to hold your hand, of course, a classic by the beat beatle, john, paul, george and ring, you but just off Stage Holding their hand was freeda. Freda, you ask . Mark strassmann explains. In 1962, the beatles were a liverpool bar band. Freda kelly was a legal secretary who watched them play during her lunch hour. She was just 17. She was just 17 and the way she looked was way beyond compare once i saw them, that was it. What was it about them that was so different in the whole attitude, the way they were on stage. I saw her standing there i got to know them very well because they lived near many. Brian epstein, the beatles manager, knew she was a secretary and offered her a job. She said yes. I didnt tell home because my father wasnt. Didnt approve of the beatles, so i kept it to myself. I handed in my notice at work and they didnt believe me. They didnt know them. Theyd never heard of them, and i explained, and they said, oh, youll be back within a year. And thats how it started really. So the year turned into ten years. Over time they became the fab four, the worlds most famous band. She became a trusted friend to all of them. On behalf of us all, id just like to say a great big thank you to our secretary, freda kelly. Freda i did not know she was the beatles secretary until a few years ago. Filmmaker ryan white got to know kelly while visiting relatives in liverpool. I was really drawn to the idea of this girl who was picked for the job of a lifetime and throw into this whirlwind and never tried to cash in and never sought out the fame. In fact, she sought out anonymity for the last 40 years. Two years ago she finally sat down to tell her stories about beatlemania in this new documentary called good old freda. I was 17, so naturally i did have crushes on them. If paul liked look nice or sang a song for me or something, like i was in love with paul that day. If george offered me a lift home from work, well, id with in love with george that day and id think, yeah, yeah, i definitely fancy george. Did you go out with any of them . No. Half. In 1963, please please me became their first numberone hit to top the british charges. She became their official fan club president. Silly me. I gave out my home address as the fan club address. Love me do the postman knocked on the door, and he said to me, who gave this address out . Youve got 200 letters here. And i said, sorry, wont do it again. Anyway, little did he know, within the next few months, the beatles became more famous, and instead of just 200 letters, they were coming in bundles, and those bundles came in sack, so the van rode up. How stupid, you know. You were a teenager. I just didnt think. She has unusual memories about each of them. You were fired by john lennon. Yes. Tell me that story. For about five minutes. He looked at me like i was only joking. I said, no you werent. And he said, face up, messing. I said, im not messing. And i said, get down on your hands and knees and beg me to come back. And he said, ill meet you half way. And i said, whats halfway . And he said, ill get down on one knee. So at least i had john on one knee. For a time people thought paul got down on one knee for her. Somebody saw us and i got a quote and they got a quote, paul was not marrying freda kelly. By the early 1970s, the beatles long and winding road had ended, but kelly still had a fan club to run. You dont have a group anymore. She gave away boxes of memorable to fans. You gave away fortune. You dont know its a fortune. To me it all ended. Kelly started a new life and family. She said her grandson nile is the reason shes telling her story. She still lives in liverpool and works at a law firm. Youre still a secretary. Still a secretary, yes. Do you miss the old days . No. I like to think ive proved on. We visited strawberry field, new yorks tribute to john lennon in central park. 40 years later, freda kelly is also still a beatles fan. Has it been fun to talk about, to remember . It has been fun to remember. And i know i got on with them well and everything. But i was very, very lucky. And i actually got paid for it, as well.

Next, Woodrow Wilson,,,,, Woodrow Wilson is widely considered to be one of our greatest president s, but he also happened to be a great romantic. Mo rocca has prepared a president ial portrait. When you hear the name Woodrow Wilson, you might think aloof, intellectual, the professorturned president with the pants nor glasses. And, yes, thats how its pronounced. Hes the College Professor with the pants nay, so hes easy to bash. And thats a french word. Thats a french word, good one. In his new biography of the 28th president , a. Scott berg wants you to know that wilson was no cold fish. Woodrow wilson was an extremely emotional, romantic man. I dont think theres been a more emotionally turbulent presidency than wilsons. [inaudible] born in stanton, virginia, the son of a presbyterian minister, wilson from a very early age was imbued with moral purpose. Its quite amazing. Heres Woodrow Wilson at nine years old drafting a constitution for his Little League baseball team. Its got to be the Little League team to this day with its own constitution. For college he ventured north to new jersey to what would become princeton university. Is it true that when he got to princeton as an undergraduate he had never heard the starspangled ban center thats true. He had never heard it. He was a southern boy. He would return to princeton as its president , transforming what had become something of a country club into a firstrate university. The political bosses of new jersey took notice and made him an offer he couldnt refuse. To run for governor of new jersey, which at the time, is perhaps the most corrupt state in the union. I think you can take the perhaps out. In 1910, the very corrupt democratic machine of the very corrupt new jersey says, who is the squeaky cleanest man in all of new jersey we could run as our puppet . But wilson would be nobodys puppet. He does get elejted, and the first thing he does is kick out the machine, and nobody everybody in the country is saying, who is this . Within two years he was elected to the white house. Turned out our only president with a ph. D. Knew how the connect with the masses. He never spoke down. He always raised the audience to his level. This had a magical effect, especially on the uneducated, because they felt better about themselves for having heard him and understood him. We want to establish a Real Partnership between all the people and the federal government. Wilson didnt just go to the people. He went to capitol hill, becoming the first president in 110 years to address congress in person. He would do so 25 times in his first term alone. His Progressive Agenda sailed through. The establishment of the federal reserve, the eighthour work day, workmans comp, but on one issue he was decidedly unprogressive. Under his watch, the District Of Columbia and the federal government were segregated racially. Big backward step. Woodrow wilson didnt invent segregation, but he certainly institutionalized it in the government offices in washington, dc, which in effect sanctioned segregation throughout the country. By 1914, the world was at war. The u. S. Remained neutral at first. Meanwhile, wilsons own world was crumbling. His wife ellen lay dying. Theres a moment when hes literally writing a letter to the heads of state in europe saying, must you really proceed with war. Hes writing that with one hand and holding his dying wifes hand with the other. But only months after her death. Wilson would fall madly in love with edith bolling. She was first woman with a drivers license in the District Of Columbia. She had wheels. She had wheels, yeah. Wilson lobbied hard for her. Who has time to write three love letters a day while the world is falling apart . Well, Woodrow Wilson made the time, he would tell you, and this was more important because he couldnt serve as president unless he had the woman he loved basically. Wilson wooed her during long drives. This was his 1919 pierce arrow. This was his car. It was part of the white house fleet. Really nice. Very comfortable. It is. Edith became the second mrs. Wilson. She was very bucks buxom. Yes, yes, and dont think Sigmund Freud didnt make a lot of that when he wrote about wilson and his marriage. He did. Like he needed a mother . Absolutely. Wilson was reelected as the man who kept us out of war, but within weeks of his second inauguration, he declared the world must be made safe for democracy. So its an aboutface. It is an aboutface and its the underpinnings of our Foreign Policy today. American sent two million doughboys to europe and wilson was welcomed as the savior of the world. Its bigger than anything napoleon or caesar saw. Does all this adulation somehow affect him . I think he still remained the preachers son with a christ complex. Wilson would spend six months in paris, his mission, to establish a league of nations to prevent all future wars. If we had some kind of International Parliament where every nation could sit, this could ostensibly stop all war. The league is the vital and compelling part of the treaty. The u. S. Senate balked, so in 1919, wilson took his case to the people, a grueling 29city tour. But outside pueblo, colorado, he collapsed. Days later, he suffered a stroke and took to his bed, the left side of his body paralyzed. Edith took control. How much control is still debated. Was edith wilson the first female president of the United States . She would be first to tell you she made no decisions he would not have made. That being said, nothing got to the president without passing through ediths hands first. But not even edith could convince wilson to compromise on even minor details concerning the league. The senate would vote down wilsons peace plan. The u. S. Would not enter the league. Dooming it. Do you think it could have prevented world war ii . Yeah, ill go on the record. I think a league of nations, Wilsons League of nations could have stopped world war ii. A controversial take on a controversial president whose influence is with us today. We stand in the presence of an awakened nation. It is a new age. The most lasting peace of the Wilson Legacy has to be that one line, this world must be made safe for democracy. For good or for bad, that really has become the foundation of our Foreign Policy. Whenever this country even thinks of intervening in syria or in egypt or iraq or wherever. It started with wilson. Its really that wilson notion that there is a moral obligation. Youre right. Ahead. Thank you. Youre welcome. A different sort of superhero. ,,,, female narrator through sunday, its posturepedic through sunday, its posturepedic versus beautyrest with up to 400 off. Serta icomfort and tempurpedic go headtohead with three years interestfree financing. Mattress price wars end sunday at sleep train. Your ticket to a better nights sleep human strength can be measured in a lot of different ways. As Steve Hartman takes the measure of one man who is always raising the bar. Unlike most superhero, jonathan still lives with his parents. Jonathan, come on. Unlike most superhero, jonathan doesnt wake up ready to save the world. Were you sleeping . And unlike most superhero, jonathan was born with down syndrome. You were sleeping. Nevertheless, as youll see in a minute, hes still one powerful crusader. By day, 31yearold jonathan is a mildmannered bag boy at the acme Grocery Store in wilmington, delaware. Caped in a yellow vest, he rescues stray grocery carts from the parking lot and hands out stickers to the kids. Thank you. Youre welcome. Tender on the inside. I love kids. Solid rock on the outside. How did you get that way . I dont know. You dont know . Work out. You work out a little bit . More than a little bit. Its here at the gym where jonathan unleashes his inner hulk. [roars] that was a good one. No doubt about it. Thats what you do every time you win . Yes. John is an incredible power lifter. Not an incredible Special Olympics power lifter, just an incredible power lifter period. He competes in regular matches, often placing in the top three. The guy can bench press over 400 pounds. You just take it all in and you walk away going, wow, did i really just see what i saw . Brandon mcgovern is job thans trainer. He says hes constantly amazed at jonathans drive. Hes a competitor. He strives to be as good as he can be at whatever he puts himself into. Of course, the real heavy lifting was done years earlier by his parents, liz and hank. They never coddled john. They raised him same as their other boys. Great things were simply expected. Although they have to admit, they do pinch themselves now at how well it all worked out. Your son is admired by people. That had to be something you could have never fathomed. No, not even ever, ever thought of when you hold a little baby and they tell you he has down syndrome. John changed our life. Theyre especially proud that he tries just as hard on his job as he does on his lifting. His boss here says you couldnt ask for a better employee. Yes, hes Strong Enough to bend a cart, but hes never so much as bruised a banana. You never crushed some eggs . Oh, please. A superhero with a soft touch who actually takes your groceries to the car. Thank you so much. Youre welcome. You have a good day. Okay. Thank you. Goodbye. When youre 65 youre surprised by what now turns you on. Next, Billy Crystal taking stock. And still to come, we shine a light on the lava lamp. This is an rc robotic claw. My High School Science teacher made me what i am today. Our Science Teacher helped us build it. Now im a geologist at chevron, and i get to help Science Teachers. It has four servo motors and a wireless microcontroller.

Excuse my english, love birds. pop balloons popping i can see the edge of my couch balloons popping rites going to kill me, get on with it. If not, shut the hell up. Im on vacation. Its sunday morning on cbs. And here again is lee cowan. City slickers may have take an bit of the city out of Billy Crystal back in 1991, but while he still looks young, hes reached the age when a lot of folks fear theyre being put out to pasture. Not him. Tracy smith now with our sunday profile. The one thing i dont worry about is dying in my sleep. Because im never asleep. What keeps you up at night . Everything. Im a baby. I sleep like a babiment im up every two hours. I try everything to fall asleep. I tried a glass of red wine for a few months. I still couldnt sleep and ended up in betty ford. Is the insomnia a recent thing . New york ive been up since 1948. At 65, Billy Crystal doesnt seem to have time for sleep. Hes one of the biggest entertainers of a generation, actor, director and author of a new book about being 65. When youre 65, youre surprised by what now turns you on. You look at dame edna and you think. [laughter] this routine at New York University was actually a recording session for the audio version of still fooling em, crystals take on getting old, not always gracefully. During the past year, i saw my dermatologist more than i saw my grandkids. My ass looks like the bottom of a boat. I dont shower anymore. Im sandblasted twice a week. The book is part comedy, part memoir, the same mix that won crystal a 2005 tony award for his oneman show 700 sundays, based on his memories of growing up in long island, new york. Sundays was our day to go toe boardwalk or play baseball or even go to a broadway show. On sunday night we went out because on sunday night jews are not allowed to eat their own food. Oh, no, no, no. That is in the bible. For crystal, nostalgia on stay is fine, but youll never catch him watching himself. You know, i never looked at. Well, except for little snippets of very much of anything ive done in the last 15, 20 years, because im. Ill always find an out. So you cant watch it. I dont watch it anymore. Ive never seen the oscar snows. Youve never seen the oscar shows . I know me. Ill start. Ill take my little shrimp fork and start poking at it. If it feels good, leave it alone. Crystal has hosted nine oscar ceremonies masterfully if not always easily. In 1992 he was all smiles and so sick he could barely stand. I had 103 temperature that year. Coughing,son throat, couldnt hear. I was really almost deaf because it was an ear infection. It was a great night anyway. Musical number and all. And then they took me into the producers office and gave me an iv of fluid so i could finish the show. You had an iv in order to finish the show. Yeah, that night. Crystal didnt take home an oscar himself that night. Hes yet to be nominated for one, but he does own a share of movie immortality. What, what . Are you the miracle max who worked for the king all those years . The kings stinking son fired me and thank you so much for bringing up a such a painful subject. Why dont you give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it while youre at it. Were closed pepper, pepper. Pepper. Waiter, there is too much pepper. Turns out crystal improvised this classic scene from when harry met sally what director rob reiners blessing. I said to rob, you know when you start to like a girl and you show her this side of you, to me its a voice. It started with that pepper, pepper please to repeat after me. And then meg played along with it. And we. I get her to repeat stuff. I would be proud to partake of your pecan pie. No. And she looks off and she goes, oh, no, shes looking at rob, and its like a great moment, and its very sweet. All right. You guys call yourself comedy writers, call yourself excomedy writers. Youre fired, youre fired, youre fired. Youre fired. I dont work here. Youre hired. Now youre fired. Get out of here crystal showed fans a different side in 1992s mr. Saturday night. He was an aging, selftrucking comedian. When its good, when its good, theyre yours. You can take em anywhere you want. Youre powerful. It was a side that few people apparently wanted to see. Mr. Saturday night to you was that a hiccup, or at the time did you think, career killer . Career killer. You did . Oh, totally panic. I had just come off two huge movies, you know, harry and sally and City Slickers back to back. Three grammys had all gone great. Oscars, first year, i guess. And this which i worked so hard. It wasnt his first taste of disappointment. In 1975 he was scheduled to appear on an early version of saturday night live, only to have his sketch cut at the last moment. I dont blame anybody. It just was. These things happen, unfortunately it was where i felt i should be. Did it kill you in at the time it did. Of course, he finally got his chance a few years later. Mother, you look marvelous, absolutely marvelous. Crystal credits his wife with helping him through it all. She gets me and has from the time she first met me. Billy crystal met Janice Goldfinger in college at a time when he was still reeling from his fathers sudden death a few years earlier. I was 18. I had been in deep grief from 15, and i think thats one of the first times i really smiled and felt better about life. He owed me one, you know, he owed me one, and he gave me her. They married in 1970. 43 years later, theyre proud and active grandparents. So cut the next one. Fix it and post. You know how it works. At his home in the l. A. Hills, hes in training, getting ready for another physically grueling run of 700 sundays on broadway later this fall. So you do this physical training how often . Six days a week. But despite being a fit and youthful 65, he seems to have eternity on his mind. This is called buying the plot. The final chapter in his book is about the final chapter. As i sit here writing and i look across the room at her, i keep thinking of the most heartbreaking question, which one of us will go first. It was tough to write, he says, and as we saw, nearly impossible for him to read out loud. I cant bear to think of life without janice. I want to go first because i dont want to miss her. And when i got to that chapter, and im reading off an ipad, i couldnt talk. I just stopped because i made the mistake of looking at her. Because that would be a pain far worse. So thats what. And then it got crazy. When i came back up, all the text was gone, and it was that, you know, it was that awful technological jewish moment, how does this work. I cant make this work. This is why i miss paper. So thats what it comes. To i cant bear to think of life without janice. I want to go first because i dont want to miss her. I dont know what else to say to you because im so moved by it. You know . It was quite a moment. It was. I havent looked at that. Maybe this time he actually should. Id like to think that there is a heaven and it starts from the happiest day in your life, ill be 18 and Janice Goldfinger will walk by me in a bikini, andly follow her and its will start all over again. Id really like to think that. [applause] and that may be the true essence of Billy Crystal, man who writes about death while embracing the beauty of life. An expert juggling act that is far from over. Whoa. That was fancy. Youre the man. Nicely done. Next the enduring allure of the lava lamp.

It happens this week an anniversary that has devotees of a certain device bubbling over with excitement. The lava lamp turned 50 this past tuesday. Englishman Edward Craven walker gets the credit, if thats the right word, for its invention. Inspired, it said, by some sort of liquidfilled egg timer that he saw in a pub. His creation contains two liquids of different density, one waxy, the other waterbased, with a heat source at the bottom. When the waxy liquid sinks to the bottom, the heat expands it to a lighter density so it floats to the top. Once at the top, it cools to a higher density and then sinks right back to the bottom. And on and on and on. The mesmerizing lamp caught the imagination of swinging 1960s britain, making guest appearances on such memorable tv series as the prisoner. Even dr. Who. Please control the oxygen of the space station. The lamp caught on here in america, too, and thoughers popularity has waxed and waned in the decades since, it has never faded away entirely or lost its capacity to captivate viewers. As collector anthony voss told the associated press, it kind of pulls people in, and before you know it, youve spent 15 minutes looking at it. Were off to the movies. Here we go. Next. What was that.

And on saturday the miss america show us your Shoes Campaign steps off on the Atlantic City boardwalk, celebrating the return of the pageant to its city of birth for the first time in eight years. Back to the present now. Thinking about going to a movie . David edelstein has a recommendation. For such a powerful film, it has not such a powerful title. Shortterm 12. It sounds institutional, which it is. Its the name of a group home for squad atrisk kids. The movie is fictional, but the guy who made it took a job out of college at a california shortterm care place like this one. Maybe he knew someone like grace, played by the phenomenal actress brie larson. As a councilor, grace is fierce, strong, steady. Assault and drug possession. You realize thats enough to get your ass thrown in juvie . In private with her boyfriend, fellow Councilor Mason played by john gallagher, jr. , shes so fragile and frightened, you know at once shes been a victim of abuse herself. Its out of my head. They represent the me curear thoughts that grow out of your gorgeous mind. Why are you so nice to me . Every day grace bikes to the squat, unlovely facility, where negotiations for power with kids who have none seem endless. Can we play big and small . Is that a real game or is that a game you just made up . There its a real game i just made up. Theres so much freefloating pain, you dont see the abuse or the abusers, only the consequences. You see marcus, played by keith stanfield, who is about to turn 18 and have the leave, hes so broken, so angry. The rap he shares with mason is a finely channeled howl of rage at a mother who wasnt a mother. Look into my eyes so you know what its like to live a life not knowing what a normal lifes like. You see punky, uppermiddleclass jayden played by caitlin dever, so studily is blase and overdefended. Im going to be living with my dad soon and i dont really like wasting time on shortterm relationships, so, you know, its nothing personal. But the rage, when it comes, is demonic. [screaming] you rarely catch these young actors acting. They look like theyre living it. I hope theyre not. There is a clear design in shortterm 12, there will be a breakthrough and well think, good, here she is on the mend, and then the kid loses it, runs away, smashes things, and the process begins again. One step forward, one tumble back. But the movie, which by the way, is also funny and romantic and rousing, suggests its possible with hard work and harder love, to create a surrogate family. It also offers hope that the right kind of shortterm love can be everlasting. Our movie critic david edelstein, and now a different sort of coming attraction, we come in with Bob Schieffer for whats ahead on face the nation this morning. Bob . Good morning, lee. Well, we have the white house chief of staff Dennis Mcdonough on the president s uphill battle to get congressional approval for taking military action against syria. All right, bob. Thanks a lot.

Tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. These may worsen with spiriva. Discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. Stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. Other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. Nothing can reverse copd. Spiriva helps me breathe better. Does breathing with copd weigh you down . Dont wait to ask your doctor about spiriva.
