Ahead on sunday morning, the mass appeal of zach braff. Osgood makes a pit stop for texas bbq. An Award Winning teacher, explores the power of Magnetic Attraction. First, here are the headlines for this sunday morning the 6th of july 2014. The u. S. State department is condemning the beating of an American Teenage boy by israeli listen jerusalem. The 15yearold florida teen was detained during violent protest. He was released this morning and put under house arrest.

Now for the weather hurricane arthur out of the picture it will be sunny and warm in the northeast with stormy in the middle states and in the plains.

This plane was barely flying with four motors and two gone just dropped. And later Robin Thickes musical appeal to the wife that left him. Osgood a final salute now to Louis Zamperini. An American Hero in both war and peace. Who died this past week at the age of 97. The suffering he endured during world war ii was maxed by the remarkable forgiveness he gave to his tore mentors. Chip reid visited with him. A fitting sunday morning cover story for this independence weekend. The heart and soul is antique, including me. What else do you have here . This is a japanese samurai. Louis zamperinis home is too small to hold memories of a life so large. There are the trophies, honoring his athletic accomplishments. These are the five torches i carried. These five torches you carried in five different olympic ceremonies. Right. Then there are the souvenirs from the prison camp where he spent two years of his life. This is the folk i used, a bamboo folk. Surprised they didnt take it away from me. But Louis Zamperinis story was pretty much ancient history. An elderly man waving in a parade. Until a best selling book reminded the world of his harrowing tale. His first fame came when he was just a teenager. In 1936 he made the u. S. Olympic team. At 19 he was the youngest qualifier in the 5,000 meter. He didnt win but Louis Zamperini became a household name. A sports hero. A few years later the nation was at war. Zamperini was a bombadier. In may 1943 his b24 crashed in to the pacific. Our number one engine the rpm stopped. This plane was barely flying with four motors with two gone just dropped like a rock it hit the water nose down. I felt like someone hit me in the forehead with a sledge hammer. It was completely blown apart. What happens next was documented in this 1998 story from correspondent bob simon. Spotted a life raft floating away. He swam to it. 47 days in an inflatable raft. On the raft you play like a fox hole. He fought off sharks and battled the sea. Things went from bad to worse. Zamperini was near death when he was captured by the japanese. And taken to a place known as execution island. Where every known prisoner had been put to death. They took great joy in telling us we were going to be executed. And they always go through the motion. It got even worse. His fame back home led to hours of torture and beating at the hands of a sadistic guard nicknamed the bird. I couldnt look in his eyes. I couldnt to it. To me they were that sadistic. When he wasnt being beaten he was starved. Like most of the americans held by the japanese. But somehow, he survived. Almost returned home a hero. This is your life. There were tv appearances. His life appeared to return to normal. But the war years, while gone, were anything but forgotten. Haunted by nightmares, he turned to alcohol. Then, in a last ditch effort to save his percentage and perhaps his life, zamperini joined his wife cynthia at a Prayer Service led by a young billy graham. Grahams sermon touched on the power of forgiveness. It was the first night in two years and a half that i didnt have a nightmare and i havent had one since. So, it, forgiveness, it was a complete healing factor in my life. Which is why zamperini decided to commit himself to a lifetime of tore giveness. And that meant he had to go back to to see the Prison Guards who tried to detroy him. The most important thing was to know im not only forgive verbally but to see them face to face tell them that i forgave them. That was more than 60 years ago. And our story would end there, were it not for the book unbroken. This is the english version. Heres louis. He became a celebrity all over again. Readers clamored to see him. I said, no way. To hear him. To applaud his life. When you finished reading that book, what did you think . It put me back in prison and i had to stop and look out the window to make sure i wasnt back in prison. Did you every i am madge in it would be a best elser. She is a great writer. Her best seller seabiscuit. And in all that time you may be surprised to learn that the author and the subject of her story never met. Not even once. Hillenbrand never met zamperini because at the time she was suffering from a chronic illness that made it difficult for her to leave her home here in this neighborhood of washington, d. C. So we spoke with her the same way zamperini did. On the phone. Patients often go in to times where they are unable to get out of bed for weeks or months or years. It was something that helped me identify with louis as he his story is largely about suffering. Hill enland says she thinks not meeting zamperini actually made her book better. Because when he was telling me his stories, i wasnt looking at a 90yearold man i was thinking about a 17yearold runner or a 26yearold guy out on a life raft. I was able to visualize it. While hillenbrand came to know nearly everything about zamperini he knew almost nothing about her. When the papers printed her story i couldnt believe it. The only thing i could do and i felt it was proper, i sent her one of my purple hearts. I said you deserve this more than i do. Why do you feel she deserved it . Shes been suffering for 0 years i suffered for a couple of years. Turns out the 47yearold author and the aging veteran shared much more than the past. Lawyer is said when times that were tough she called you. We talked to each other on the phone. It was my inspiration, might say that shes my inspiration. When we talked zamperini said he hoped one day to meet hillenbrand that he had a message. I dont think ill tell each other very much except i love you. Not long after the hope became a reality. While in washington in 2012 he paid a visit to her home. He told me as we were hugging each other and saying goodbye he said that the book was the crescendo of his life. And he believes hes lived this long so that he could see it written and read. That was the loveliest thing hes ever said to me. As for Louis Zamperini he had something to share with all his new found admirers. You forgave your japanese enemies, do you think americans forgive enough . I think the hardest thing in life is self destructive. You are hurting yourself. Thats a healing. Actually its a real healing. Forgiveness. Look out. Osgood next. Look out. Osgood next. Cruising with captain kid. Jobs all over america. Engineering and innovation jobs. Advanced Safety Systems technology. Shipping and manufacturing.

Osgood and now a page from our sunday morning almanac, july 6, 1699, 315 years ago today. The day the yohohoing came to a halt. That was the day the notorious captain kidd was arrested in boston for piracy and murder. William kidd had started out on the right side of the law with a commission from wing kill yam ii to command a private manofwar an armed ship that was not officially part of the royal navy. In exchange for bringing pirates. Freedo thers and sea rover to justice. But after several months aboard the ship the adventure galley kidd and his crew turned pirate themselves attacking and looting virtually every ship they encountered. The sea going exploits quickly became the stuff of legend, the 1945 policeman captain kidd with Charles Laughton in the starring role. Apparently believing his wealthy pay thrones would protect him, kidd arrived in boston where he was arrested and shipped to london to stand trial. His claim that his nearmutinous crew forced him in to piracy availed him not. And on may 23, 1701, captain kidd was hanged. His body tarred and hung by chains on the bank of the thames as a warning to other sailors. Look out. The debate over extent of captain kidds guilty goes on to this day. Most recently moss lows coney island mermaid parade, where new york city mayor of all people posed as a pirate for a day. Ahead. It makes me happy. Always makes me happy.

Osgood Magnetic Attraction is a powerful force attracting not just metal objects but humans as well. It makes me happy. It always make me happy. She knows a thing or two about Magnetic Attraction. How many magnets are on your fridge right now . Now id say between 500 and 600. But used to have a thousand. Wow. She made the guiness book of records by owning the most magnets in the world. Today she has 45,000 all over her nevada home. From the fridge got a little piece here. Who gave you that . That was made for me. To the front door. When people are coming in they dont know that theyre about to see. Thats right. They shut it behind them and go theyre all memories of things that happened in my life or given to me for a reason or i bought for a reason. These i love. These are the old time movie stars. Is this like your art gallery . Its kind of like your photo album of your life. But before you dismiss Louise Greenfarb as eccentric. The archaeologist says if you want to get the know a family data look in their kitchen. The kitchen is truly a fascinating place. This is sort of command central of American Family life. And ip the kitchen is the refrigerator this iconic object. He spent four years studying everything but the kitchen sink in the homes of middle class families in los angeles. The refrigerator is a repository of family memories and schedule, place to schedule everything that is going on. The equivalent of facebook and Google Calendar all wrapped in to one. He and his colleagues found that refrigerators in homes with children are best with an average of 52 magnets. Some families had 150 to 160 objects thats what youre seeing in these photos here. I love this, just says here is our life on the refrigerator. Best communicated what is significant. If anthony is the professor of refrigerator magnets. At the Spiritual Center of our lives. Then you could say musician and inventor dave capal is the poet laureate. He invented magnetic poetry in the early 1990s with a sneeze. Ive come up with a variety of tricks to come at lyrics and one of them was stolen actually from david bowie. Where you take newspapers or magazines gist cut them up in to pieces and separate out the most interesting words and phrases. Its a great method unless like me you have springtime allergies and sneeze. One day i sneezed and my song blew all over the place. I launched accidentally head lock in to the magnetic poetry. Its the kits were an overnight success. It didnt take long before those little words appeared on the big screen. Would you like for me to something to nibble . Look at that. But he says the most meaningful success came when he received a letter. A woman said that her 17yearold severely autistic son had never interacted verbally with anybody in the family before a bunch of people in the kitchen playing with magnetic poetry. And suddenly he indicated that he wanted to join them so they brought him over there and he made his first sentence. Ever. Using magnetic poetry. Everybody burst in to tears it was a huge breakthrough moment in the family it happened at thanksgiving and makes me want to cry right now just talking about it. But the creative clutter of refrigerator door may become a thing of the past. This is your refrigerator . Last year more than 30 of all refrigerators sold were stainless steel and magnets dont stick on most of of those. What happens when you put the magnets . Aw. This is very blank canvas. Used to be just covered you couldnt see the fridge at all. Capal says stainless steel fridges have cut his sales in half. Everything has gone online at this point. Instead of leaving a note on the fridge door you now text them the note. They may be slowly disappearing from our kitchens, but some of us are still stuck on the kookie charm of refrigerator magnets. Or in other words, the making shine of steel. Lets linger over a brilliant symphony of this beautiful mess. Osgood next, Robin Thickes musical appeal, the wife who left him. Later oh, yeah. Osgood Wynton Marsalis finds the beef. Osgood its sunday morning on cbs here again is Charles Osgood. Osgood robin thicke bares as in paula patton the wife who has left him and who is not publicly trying to win back with every song. Thicke talks about all this with anthony mason. The top selling single of last year blurred lines. Was Robin Thickes long awaited breakthrough song. Hit songs on r b that was my first pop hit. Did it feel different . Oh, yeah. It made the 37yearold soul singer an international star. But the success that previously had alluded him seemed to overwhelm him. His life blew up and his marriage fell apart. Its been a very humbling year to say the least. Thickes response has been to rush out a new record. An album hes named for his estranged wife, paula patton. Its a 14song apology. In which he begs her to come back. Did you have any hesitation about doing it in public . I am right now. Some people are going to say youre exploiting the situation. Right. To sell records. Right. What do you say to that . My music is my life. I have no choice but to connect with it. But this week as he promoted the record on radio, tv and the internet, thicke faced a tsunami of social media outrage and condemnation. We caught up with him in the middle of it in new york. Im sure youre aware youre making yourself an easy target. I dont know what her album would be. If she made one about me. Im sure it would go much differently right now. Do you want to hear that album . I dont think soment. Robin thicke grew up in a hollywood family. The son of singer and soap opera star Gloria Loring and allan thicke who starred in growing pains. Robin taught himself peano when he was 11. You were only 14 when you got a deal. Yes. When i was 14 Brian Mcknight heard my demo tape. By 16 he was signed to Interscope Records and soon writing songs for other artists like usher and christie than aguilera. But when he put hut owes first solo album in 2002 it bombed. Were you discouraged that the first record didnt sell . I was devastated. Thats why i had my second album the evolution was all about trying to believe in myself and find some spirituality and self love without the accolades and record sales. That record produced his first hit song lost without you. The video for it featured his then new wife, paula patton. You guys go way back. Yes. 14 when you met . Yes. How did you meet . At a nightclub where theres no alcohol but you can dance in the summertime. What was the connection . She was just very creative, loving, spiritual, intelligent woman. The couple who married in 2005 have a 4yearold son. Thicke and patton an actress who starred in mix impossible were used to public scrutiny but nothing like the attention the blurred lines will bring. It came with a bunch of controversies as well. What . The video for blurred lines has more than 300 million views on youtube the uncensored version which featured flaked models was branded by sexist. Then there was thickes notorious performance of the song with miley cyrus on the mtv Video Music Awards last summer. One of the most tweeted about overs ever it put the term twerking in the dictionary. Id heard some somebody that rehearsal was considerabley more toned down. That is true. Was the extent of mileys performance a surprise to you . No. We all knew we were going to go out there to have fun. Id never seen the performance. No. I never watched it. Why not . I have no reason to. You are afraid theres something there you are not going to like . Some things are better left in the past. What he hasnt been able to put in the past was this party snapshot that caught him groping another woman. Thicke refuses to discuss what happened with his wife. Those things are private and personal. Okay. Can you give me theyre in thal bum. What am i going to find there . In your words. First 1 songs that i wrote, they poured out of me. I just had to write about it. He has supervised the project closely. Even directing one of the music videos. Lets do it. It feels great. In los angeles last month he was rehearsing the songs with his band for the first time. I just had to do it. I just had to. I didnt know what else to do with my day. It was all these things in my heart and soul that i had to get out. Did you tell her you were going to do a whole album about her . I kind of surprised her. She was filming a movie in vancouver. And she came back to l. A. For couple of days and i played her a few songs. How did she respond . Thats personal. Im trying to give you im going at you because you put out ab album with her name on it. Ive opened this door. Where im at right now i just want to be a good dad, be a good friend to her. Support my family. Without trying to be overly dramatic about it when you look in the mirror inial of this what did you see . I saw a guy who needed to be humbled a little bit. Because i think you strive for so long for accomplishment like what happened last year then you get it. Then you dont know how to juggle it. Although the balls are all over the floor. At what point do you recognize that . When its too late. The video for the albums first single get her back features a woman who looks strikingly like paula patton, captions appear, imagine Text Messages between robin thicke and his wife. I got to get her, go get her back. The female voice says you ruined everybody. Do you feel like you ruined everybody . No. Because shes a great friend and shes a great mother and i still consider myself a very lucky man, every day that her and i did have together. After a long week of public confession, robin thicke seems resigned to being judged. She didnt leave for no reason. You okay with people call you through all of this . It wont be worse than what ive called myself. Osgood ahead dont be fooled by the hype. You do not have to care about the world cup. The world cup. An opposing view.

Bit millions more did not watch that seems Washington Post blogger alexander was one of them. Friends, dont be fooled by the hype. You do not have to care about the world cup. For several reasons, first, its soccer. I know they call it football. But its clearly not football. There is no where near enough concussions the only tightened involves to david beckham. No its soccer. Soccer used to be something you could stop caring about after you turned nine. You play it as a kid because like ballet soccer is something you can teach a 3yearold to do badly without having to put in a whole lot of effort. You get your trophy for participation and you stop. Second, the watching soccer is always miserable, you feel like eight years of your life watching people run back and forth across the field where nothing happens you think its safe to turn away for a second the get a snack, thats when there is a goal it takes the kind of constant vigilance with zero pay off i thought i could save for child rearing. Other sports are not perfect. But at least hockey people carry big sticks like Teddy Roosevelt would have wanted. In baseball you can look away because nothing exciting ever happens. Furthermore the world cup is unamerican. Explicitly so if i wanted to spend 90 minutes watching foreigners i would watch Students International math and science test results. I wanted to cheer for france against germany for italy against turkey, id go reenact world war ii. Compared to watching soccer the olympics are fine, theyre over quickly only have to watch americans do things were good at. The world cup goes on for weeks. By the time itself over were forced to cheer for germany which is wrong. Were america. And last several foreign conflicts aside were only supposed to get involved in things that we can win. Dont give in. You dont have to watch the world cup. It may be the worlds favorite sport but we arent the world. We are america. Osgood next, barbecue at a crossroads. With Wynton Marsalis. L osgood Wynton Marsalis is also a great lover of barbecue. He makes it a point to visit one particular pit stop every chance he gets. If barbecue is americas food, like jazz is its music, then lockhart is its big easy. In this tiny texas town, smoke and smells billow from four historic barbecue joints and theyre all considered some of the best in the world. On auto road trip between gigs in houston and you a continues i stopped for a roadside meal with my friend, brother and long time road companion, frank stuart. Its something weve done many times before. By trade frank is a photographer. For 30 years hes crisscrossed this bountiful country documenting our lives as musicians and making it all look deceivingly glamorous. This is a place i told you about. Frank is also a memphis blues man who knows everything there is to know about the barbecue. Good barbecue down here. Years ago he helped create with new orleanian lolis elie the bible of barbecue books. Today we met up with the modern ambassador. Give us two thick slices. Hes the countrys only full time barbecue critic for major publication. See if this matches up with louisiana. Ready to dig in to this. His goal was to teach us a thing or two about texas barbecue. The old meat markets didnt have any refrigeration. The meat that was left over was starting to get rank. Put a lot of salt and pepper on it. Let me open this. Hes posing every humble pit boss. Texas barbecue has to offer. Acres of water to fuel fires with briskets and prime ribs. So close to perfection that its not allowed. It is all about the meat on its own. Its out here vulnerable. In his words. Here people can argue all day as to which barbecue joint is their favorite. But theres only one owned by the same family, four generations later. How long have you guys been around . 81 years. What is the key toe you alls longevity and success. Just love each other. Today the joint is run by kent black and his son barrett but its soul belongs to gramma norma jean and popop, 88 years old edgar black. Trying to continue to cook the way they taught us. In the business that tradition is called low and slow cooking. The meet is smoked almost three times longer than most. Just dive right in. A technique even an amateur can appreciate. Oh, yeah. You thought it was going to be tough didnt you . When it smokes low and slow all starts to melt and fall apart just pull it apart like that. Looks like a meringue. But whos to say if its those extra hours on the smoker or all that family love that really makes the difference. These are the best parents in the world. Learned a lot from them they have worked hard. Taught us so much how to treat our customers and friends and our family. I couldnt be any prouder of these two than i am. I just hope they enjoy what theyre doing. Folks like the blacks and sought after burnt end of a brisket is hard not to leave lockhart feeling full in more ways than one. And for a tired traveling musician on the road, that means it was a very good day. Yes, it was. Osgood ahead a gifted teachers count down to citizenship. And action osgood and later. Was it easy to get the movie made . Taking a chance on film maker zach braff. Osgood when you wish upon a star, the song says, your dreams come true. When schoolteacher reach for the stars, Steve Hartman has heister re. In the middle of the texas desert, on the border with mexico, sits the tiny town of presidio. This is the way in and for some this is the way out. If youre a kid looking to escape the poverty and isolation of presidio theres really negater vehicle than the presidio rocket club. It was launched a few years ago by a firecracker of a Science Teacher named sheila condino. I wanted to teach the kids. You want something so bad you put your part in to it. Her goal isnt really to make future rock it scientists its more just to make futures. Thats how its life you have to make it on your own. Her teacher knows all about that. Born dirt poor in the philippines, came to presidio because no American Team e teachers would. We met her in 2012 she really wanted a green card was having a hard time convincing immigration officials that she was a person of exceptional ability. They are asking for more documents, more support and i really do not know what else they would want from me. Youre the best aerospace teacher in america. Thank you. It wasnt me saying that. Youve got the award. She really was honored as the aerospace teacher of the year. No surprise to her students. Shell teach you things and youll learn it like this. As long as you pay attention, of course. Youre bluffing. Shes such a motivating force her kids often get ip before sunrise to learn and launch. Their equipment is mostly begged, borrowed and broken. Their budget mostly bake sales, barbecues and goat auctions. And yet despite all the obstacles she continued to run one of the most highly respected rocketry programs. Then last fall she got letter from immigration saying, you are not authorized to remain in the United States and to depart as soon as possible. I was appalled. Thats one of those not very common sensical decisions that washington is famous for. Texas congressman heard about her plight add, that letter was actually a clerical error. What she should have gotten yeah was a green card. I can stay and with that sheila learned a lesson. The same lesson shes been teaching her kids all these years. Never give up. You can do anything in this world as long as you never give up. [ laughter ] coming up the multitalented zach braff. Making movies his way. One month, deep wrinkles look smoother.

Osgood that is zach braff in the hit tv show scrubs which proved to be a crowd pleaser many of his fans willing to invest money in his new film. Tracy smith with the sunday profile. In the new musical bullets overbroad way zach braff is the nerdy play wright trying to get his show up and ripping. The plays financial backers are forcing him to make a few changes. Im a whore stay it easy. Im a prostitute who is selling out. Youre cracking up. Im selling out. The show, based on the woody allen movie of the same name is pure broadway fantasy. But the basic story about a little guy fighting for his art is something zach braff knows all too well. A dozen years ago braff was first time director shopping around a script hed written for a deeply personal film called garden state e. Oh, man, how are you doing . Im great. Your mom just died. I know. Thats why youre home. Yeah. Was it easy the get the movie made . Er. One passed. Everyone in hollywood who has a phone and a desk passed. Eventually he got lucky and found a businessman named gary gilbert willing to write him a very big check. He said, forget them, is there a scenario where you make this movie for 2. 5 million. If so ill pay for the whole thing right now. Your response . Give us a moment. It was not funny. Come on. Braff went on to make garden state e. Exactly the way he wanted. It was a huge hit. Your investor got his money back. He doubled his money overnight. He made a good bet on me. It wasnt the first time someone took a chance on zach braff and won. Born in the garden state, new jersey, in 1975, zachary israel braff seemed to inherit his love of theater from his dad. Who was an attorney by day and some Time Community theater performer at night. Young zach shied away from sports and found his true calling in theater camp. It was u top why. You could be yourself . I was good at it. I never want to when they lift baby simba up in the lion king. E. R. I couldnt believe that there was some place on earth where i felt like i for first time i belonged. By his late teens braff was accomplished actor and caught woody allens eye for role as his son manhattan murder mystery. If you look at my face i look like a terrified person who cant believe hes in a scene with woody allen. I grew up with these people as my heroes there i am, woody allen, he said to me i was 18 years old he said, probably not going to say any of the lines in the script, try to keep up. Down. His break came on the small screen. This is greatest moment of your life . Holy crap its david copperfield. Scrubs ran for nine quirky seasons. When i say i love you, its not what it implies. Also led this this one of the great bromance stories of our time. Brans and donald fasone are best friends off screen as well. We couldnt be more different people, the black guy, im a white guy, what overlaps is our sense of humor perfectly. Theyre together again in brbraffs latest vehicle. In his new film wish i was here he teaches his two kids things they never learn at school. Its about what it sounds like. For kids there will be no flooring from a full stop. This time around studios were willing to put up the money but only if braff would make the movie their way. When you went to get financing, was it the same say you need to cast these people . But you get a piece of paper that is top secret have different numbers and codes next to celebritys names. They want the biggest star possible. The biggest star possible either not going to do your tiny little movie, is wrong for the part, or in oftentimes will take two or three months to respond. Youre stuck in this limbo wait ing for l. E. D. To play an old jewish rabbi. Im exaggerating lightly. Slightly. Fascinating. This is 60 minutes worthy. In the end braff found a way around it all. Maybe this could be a new paradigm for film makers to make smaller. Kickstarter. Com is a website to match projects with people willing to help pay for them. Braff made video for his fans explaining why they, not the money men, should help finance his movie. Lets say, for example, funniest idea for a cameo. The money folks will say, we love donald first like to offer that role to denzel washington. What are the money people . How did you get in here . You gave me the key. I keep changing the lock. I know how ludicrous and hard financing is. Even if youre a known name. John q angry citizen doesnt know that i cant get a film financed they think you were on scrubs, you had a hit with garden state you can get a film financed. Thats what they said. Come on dude. I say, dude, fellow dude, ive been trying to make movies since garden state since. The truth is i cant. Because i want to make the movie the way i want to make it. Weve created amazing incentives on this page everything from getting only personal copy of the script to sitting right next to me at the premiere with or without my hand resting gently on your leg. Legally he wasnt allowed to offer people a share of the actual movie, but almost Everything Else was fair game. I did wedding proposals. I did out going messages. I must have signed my name on anything and everything that is signable. And it worked. We were looking for 2 million in a month. It hit 2 million in 48 hours. Nice to meet you. Thanks so much for coming. Now hes traveling the country trying to meet and personally thank as many of his backers as possible. Like at this event in chicago. Thats a picture. His old pal Donald Faison has been with him every step of the way. When studio said the script isnt what we wanted to make, he said ill find a way to make it. He did. There are very few people out there that can do that. Its inspiring to have a buddy like that. And action. Zach braff will find out next week if his crowdfunded film will draw crowds to the box office. On the night it opened hell be back on broadway in the make believe world where only the money men run the show. Ive never been in here. Osgood ahead sunday morning, wrigley field. With george.

Osgood the chicago cubs are in familiar place this weekend, last place in their division. The teams famously loyal fans dream on including the famous one mo rocca has been talking to. As long time observer of washington politics Big Government is. George will knows something about winning and losing. Authentic piece of sod from wrigley field. As a life long fan of the chicago cubs this is a cub he knows mostly about losing. At an age too tender toe make life shaping decisions i made one. I became a cub fan. Cubs have not won the world series since 1908 thats two years before mark twain died. But the long suffering cubs do have something no other team has. Ive never been in here. This is new for me. Well, brace yourself. Wrigley field. The windy citys legendary ballpark. Do you still remember the very first time you walked in here . I do. Sat right over there, cubs played the dodgers i think about 1950. And i think they lost. That just may be an inference. Safe bet. Exactly. Did you ever dream of playing here . No. Cubs arent very good but im really bad. I played baseball briefly and badly in Little League in champaign, illinois. My team was the middendorf, funeral home panthers. Are you serious . Im quite serious. This year turned 100. The lincoln and jefferson memorial, the golden gate bridge, mt. Rushmore. Empire state building. Yep. Opened in 1914 as weeghman park it was renamed in 1927 after cubs owner and chewing gum magnate william wrigley, junior. Still has original hand operated scoreboard. Thats a long way. It is a long way. Zero, the cubs have a lot of use for those. Then there are those legendary ivy covered outfield walls. You know got a problem when your franchise most famous for the flora. But people come to see it. And it is emblematic of it. But that lovely foilage hasnt always been popular with the players. That ball towards lift no chance to get. That its in the ivy. Will believes that the ivy may be partly to blame for the poisonous performance over the years. The cubs decided this. The team is terrible, the ballparks a gem. Lets get people to come to see the ballpark not what goes on in the ballpark. Hence wrigleys warm and welcoming nickname. Wrigley field has been called the friendly confines, they have gone out of their way to be friendly. This was the first ballpark in which when foul ball went in to the stands you could keep the ball. And wrigley was the first ballpark to pitch itself to the fairer sex. Wrigley field was as most baseball venues then were, it was still men. They drank a lot and they gambled. It was not a welcoming place for women. William wrigley said were going to get women to come out. Ladies day didnt mean discounted tickets, opened the gates, come on in free. Actually wrigley has never really struggled to fill its seats. Cub fans are so loyal, masochistic some would say, attendance does not vary with their oneloss records. Attendance at cubs games correlates four times as much as the price of beer at the ballpark than it does with how the team is actually playing. Thats right. Cub fans will put up with a lot but not with expensive beer. They draw the line somewhere. But you wont catch george will downing any ballpark brew skis. How many beers will you have . None. You really love the cubs youll watch them zoner. Exactly. If youre not sober when i come in you will be when you leave. What happens if the cubs one the World Trade Center . If the cubs win the World Trade Center a lot of people say, the romance will be gone, they dont be the love. That assumes you love losing. If you dont, and i dont. Then im prepared for the decadence of victory. If you have moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis like me, and youre talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic. This is humira.

But im thinking my life before i saw it and my life now. And its different. I know movies can do something just last week i didnt. Its about time. Let e say that. Its about time. Time is the story. Director richard shot boyhood over 12 years. Took a 7yearold, he filmed him an actress as his estranged parents. Along the way what he saw in them through the life he was living with his own family he found the story. The story came in time. The texas bred man was always a time guy. Time is in the titles of his best known films which feature actors at different periods. Before sunrise when 20somethings played by ethan hawke meet on a train and talk. How are you . Before sunset made nine years later when they meet again and talk. What are the chances of us ever meeting again . Id say almost zero. Look at that. Nine years after that, last year before midnight married with kids and still talking. And then in a finite, compressed space they find each origin. I love the films, but theyre talking. He didnt use all the tools of cinema. He does in boyhood he opens with a boy gazing at the sky. He closes with it, too. The boy is the same, but not. We see his character named mason way before puberty. Then getting closer, a little pudgey, then shooting up. Whats happening on the outside, partly reflects whats inside as his mind is jarred by attachments and ruptures. What about you . How was your week . What have you been up to. How can you trust but comes and goes. Cope with his moms unhappiness. Or her second husband. A scary drunk who gets more inward, more out of reach to grownups. Have you been partying . Then suddenly more talkative. The girls of course hes trying to figure out what is everybody and whats uniquely him. Living with mason and his parents over time, 12 years, creates an intimacy, an empathy, a shared stake. This was how it was when everything was in flux. When i felt every second of every day. Boyhood makes each moment, momentous. Osgood critic david edelstein. Now to Bob Schieffer in washington for a look what is ahead on face the nation. Schieffer good morning, charles.
