Pauley the scene at last nights American Red Cross ball at maralago in palm beach, florida, attended by President Trump and the first lady. Palm beach was americans Treasure Island long before mr. Trump arrived as mo rocco will show us in our sunday morning cover story. The first thing you should know about palm beach is that its an island unto itself. Separate from the rest of the america. Most exclusive town in america. Writer Laurence Leamer has lived here for over 20 years. He calls palm beach americas first gated community. Achievement, lineage or money. What confers status. They would like to think its culture and lineage but its money. All about money. Your friendships here are defined by money. I know what that tie is worth. Youre a great guy but you dont belong among the billionaires, okay . Today, worth avenue is one of the most glamorous strips of shopping in america. It was jungle trail and the site of an alligator farm. Yes, i know, i should have worn nicer shoes. It was Henry Morrison flagler who transformed palm beach. Flagler, the cofounder of standard oil, came to this 1890s and envisioned a paradise for the very wealthy. At a time when many of his peers would have been thinking about retirement hes embarking on an enormous project. Tracy kamerer is the chief curator of the museum. This was his First Hotel Property on the island, largest wooden structure in the world and also had the distinction of being the Worlds Largest hotel, ultimately accommodating 1500 guests. He traveled in style. Vanderbilts, rockefellers and carnegies arrived most like flagler in their own private rail cars. Along the railroad which flagler himself built opening florida to tourism. He also built the famed Breakers Hotel and his own spectacular estate, whitehall. Call it beaux art in the jungle. He wanted to have his house built quickly so he and his new the mansion was flaglers wedding gift to his much younger third wife. He liked to throw parties. Liked to play the peano and sing, she brought some sunshine into his later years. What were their ages when they got married . 71 and 34. A palm beach tradition. Yes. I have to agree with you. You could say that flaglers home and the two hotels really were the beginning of society in palm beach. A society that soon needed fabulous homes to match its fabulous wealth. Enter architect Addison Mizner. Sometimes when youre in palm beach you forget that youre not in italy. Thats right. Or europe or spain. Mizner says preservation consultant jane dane created the mediterranean revival look. A mash up of european styles that became the architecture of oi it was a very romantic style. Try to mix and match things from different places around the mediterranean. He wanted it to look as if it had been in the family for generations. If it didnt look like it was all done in 1919 for example. Villa mizner, was the name of mizner himself. Holy cow, look at that ceiling. This is home to the family of dee and nick adams a direct descendants of president john adams and their pet pig mona lisa. His idea was to bring the light in. Bring the tear in. Make the windows bigger. But retain that gothic feel. These panels in the dining room are said to have originally lined spanish queen isabel las 15th century palace. Thats the 16th century. Then others are made oo can you guess what Addison Mizner might think of palm beach. Very much like he had envisioned it. At least this area here. Because he himself was an eccentric. He had a monkey named charlie brown. You see it in your stained glass window. Yes. Another landmark was home to the kennedy family. President john f. Kennedy workd on his inaugural tea dress here. What he called his winter white house. Which brings us to the maralago, now the winter white house of president donald trump. Walking through this room in 1927, what would it look like . Very much as it appears now. Built by post cereal fortune harris Marjorie Merriweather post stand her husband e. F. Hutton, maralago is dazzling even by palm beach standards. The trump authorized history of the estate. There is an inscription i see. Plus ultra. Which means beyond the ultimate. That is symbolic of how mrs. Post led her life and what her expectation was for this property. Mrs. Post bequeathed maralago to the federal government. But then president Richard Nixon preferred key biscayne, the costly White Elephant was returned to the post family. Who couldnt find a buyer until a certain Real Estate Developer came along. Youre not going to do anything. No personal trump touches here. No. Believe it or not, no. If palm beach was americas first gated community, says Laurence Leamer, then donald trump was the most brazen gate they depiesed him from day one. They did everything to try to stop his arrival. He didnt care. He was can go to do what he was going to do. Mr. Trump bought maralago stand turned it into that social club. Unlike palm beachs exclusionary clubs, maralago accepted gentiles and jews as well as African Americans and openly gay members. As long as they could pay. What do you think motivated donald trump to do this . Money. But did he it. I mean, a lot of people wouldnt do it. Start a largely jewish club in palm beach . Would you do that if you cared about social acceptance . Or you would never do that. Along the way mr. Trump has picked plenty of fights, over everything from the height of the flag pole on his clubs lawn, to the flight path over maralago that he wanted changed. Getting elected president solved are you surprised that this is now the winter white house . Well, its amazing. I wouldnt have dreamed it. Of course i dont think anyone would have thought that would have happened. That he would become president. Yes. And it shows in america anything can happen. Its fantastic. Bernard lembke is the long time managing director of maralago, he says mr. Trump is continuing mrs. Posts great tradition of hosting with one significant difference. Took over made it a club, did he the same thing. He invited his friends but for an initiation fee. Its still a home for friends, but they pay an initiation fee. Yes. It helps with the cost. I have to try that with my own friends. For at least the last few years members of maralago have paid 14,000 a year in dues and a 100,000 initiation fee. But when we visited in january, lembke told us this. Membership. We moved the membership fee up tod 200,000. Nonrefundable. The doubling of the initiation fee effective january 1, has been confirmed prompting some to question whether mr. Trump is profiting from his election. The club claims the fee had been 200,000 back before the last recession. Does attendance here tend to spike when mr. Trump is here . Phenomenally. Instead of five people for lunch we may have 150 people. Its incredible. It seems that the relationship between donald trump and palm beach has changed. Before the election nobody in this island would say a good word about him. Now suddenly everybody has voted for him. Brothers comedy hour, show number one, take one. Pauley coming up, a brothers act. Pauley now a page from our sunday morning almanac. February 5, 16, 50 years ago today the the day the smothers brothers comedy hour debuted here on cbs. Hosted my comic folk singers tom and dick smothers, the show was a product of its turbulent times. Hot button issues such as the vietnam war and the draft loomed large in show sketches and songs. I know someones got a fight over there but the brothers quickly learned cutting edge comedy can cut both ways. They constantly battled cbs censors and occasionally even made fun of those battle on the air. Nothing funny in this. There we are boys. Were censor wrong your show. President johnson complained to the network about the show. When president nixon took office in 1969, the brothers announced a mock cease fire. And for the start of his term were going to give our president nixon our full support and lay off the jokes entirely. Thats right. Hes going to be in office for at least four years im sure well bee ablto get around to him a little later. That few months later cbs cancelled the show channing the brothers with breach of contract. The brothers sued as well. And won their case. Went on to eventually have the last laugh. In 1988, they hosted a smores brothers reunion special right here on cbs. Ahead.

Because not only for the boot but for me because the next step is to trim the sole over here and you want that line to be as straight as possible. From the first measurement t can take hundreds of hours. With wheeler and his long time boot maker jorge amaro paying attention to every detail. Believe it or not, thats it . Thats just the glue.

But your boots will still be around. This will be around. For now you can find this texasn in his shop taking his time. Getting it right. Pauley still come. Lady gaga. But first when twins meet twin. Jay there is much to be learned from twins. Who are as just alike as genetics will allow. This morning we have a different sort of story about twins told to us by Erin Moriarty of 48 hours, which should be noted is a twin herself. Here she is with her sister sheila. Are you nervous at all . Maybe. 11yearold evie hanlonmoores stood impatiently alongside her mother. She was waiting for someone she hadnt seen for nearly a year. Theyrer that. Despite the long separation, she had no trouble recognizing her. Finally. You look more alike now than you did when we saw you in october. As you might have guessed, evie hanlonmoores and eva chia are identical twins but they live 10,000 miles apart. Isnt this a very strange situation to explain to anyone . Yeah, i guess. It became our normal. It did. A new kind of this unusual family saga began more than ten years ago in brisbane, australia. Dee cridland has just brought her newly adopted daughter eva home from china when she saw what she thought were pictures of her child posted by another mother on a website for adoptive parents. How much did the picture that jo put online look like your daughter . I thought it was my daughter. She immediately wrote the other mother who lived near ba bath, england. I read the email from dee just thought, oh. Jo hanlonmoores had adopted her child evie three months earlier. I just busted to tears because its exactly the same face. What both mothers suspecteds a d. N. A. Test later confirmed. The fact that their parents gave the girls an odd coincidence. Ivy and eva are among more than 100,000 babies, mostly girls, abandoned since the late 1970s when china instituted its one child per family policy. With orphanages full, International Adoptions were allowed in the early 1990s but when demand for healthy chinese babies outweighed the supply, siblings were separated. China has never had an official policy on the adoption of twins. Do you think theres a large number of these twins who have been separated at birth who dont know that each other exist . If twins occur in approximately one in 80 births naturally, then you have to figure, if hundreds of thousands of girls have been abandon
