Successor to st. Peter. When he met one day, people from the jesuit school, there was a little girl that asked him, do you want to be a pope, and he said, you have to be crazy to want to be a pope.

Honestly i wanna see you be brave honestly now to have some fun with these golfers. You want a golf tip . Whats this guy doing . Get a mastercard. It gets you lessons with pros. Oh tom watson you couldnt even hit the cart once oh my god now somebody did hit the cart i did did you hit the cart . Yes access to tpc golf courses. You hit the cart and maybe even. A priceless surprise. Not everyone gets to see tom watson. That was awesome. Pelley you can tell a lot about a man by how he signs his name. Popes have a special way the name followed by p. P. , short for papa, and the appropriate roman numeral. So, imagine the surprise around the vatican print shop when the new pope started signing things francis, just francis. Humility has made the former Jorge Bergoglio a star far beyond the catholic church, but dont mistake humility for weakness. Just plain francis is also being signed on orders to transform institutions fossilized by tradition and stained by corruption. For palm sunday, we thought youd like to hear from some of the people who know francis best. But dont ask them what hes going to do next because, god only knows. In st. Peters square, march 2013, 100,000 faithful waited for a light to split the curtain. Theyd adjusted their eyes to what they were accustomed to seeing, regal robes and a gold cross around the neck of a european. Instead, they saw an emissary from the new world with a world of new ideas. Robert mickens he was just dressed so simply. There was no cape. There was no fur. There was no. And he was just standing there. And in a simple silver cross, evidently the one that he wore when he was in buenos aires. Pelley Robert Mickens was among the believers in disbelief. Hes an american journalist covering the vatican. Mickens and then he started with by saying. Buona sera. Mickens buona sera, good evening. Popes dont do that. Theyd say Laudetur Iesus Christus or Something Like that. But the biggest thing was when he asked the people in the square to pray over him. Everybody keeps saying pray for me, but thats not what he said. He said, lets pause for your prayer over me. Thats a blessing. And he put his head down. You could have heard a pin drop. Pelley for francis and the vatican, that was the last quiet moment. Since then, the halls of st. Peters have been ringing with commands insiders out, outsiders in priests ordered from their cathedrals and into the streets. For pope number 266, there are a lot of firsts. Mickens nobodys ever taken the name francis. I mean, thats an extremely Challenging Program just in the name. Pelley what did it mean to the church . Mickens he took the name francis from francis of assisi, who is probably the most beloved saint you know among catholics and especially noncatholics. And, you know, had this great love for the poor, gods creation, nature, peace. And what weve seen is that he lives very radically very simply, rather than some monarch prince or king or monarch pope. Pelley his most radical decision came on his second day. He toured his 16th century palace looking like a home buyer whose realtor just didnt get it. In here, hed be kept behind a barrier of minders and schedulers. So, he chose freedom in a Vatican Hotel where he lives and dines with everyone else. His room, 201, is a key to the world. This leader of a billion catholics demands to be in touch. Elisabetta pique i knew that he would phone me, but i didnt expect that he phone me so quick. Pelley he phoned elisabetta pique 12 hours after his election. Shes an old friend, an argentinean journalist, and her children were baptized by bergoglio. Pique and two days later was my birthday, and he phoned again. But, in that sense, we have here the scandal of normality because hes a normal man. Pelley the scandal of normality . Scandalous, checking out of a hotel, posing for a papal selfie and standing in the rain. Pique we see the scandal almost every day. Ten days ago, when he went for a retreat, he wanted to go in the bus like the others, and he didnt want to go by helicopter or in his own car. This is why people love him, i think. Pelley they loved him in a simple car in july, but it was frightening when brazils 130 million catholics seemed to show up all at once. Francis responded by rolling down the window. Pique a lot of people was afraid. He asked specially that he didnt want so much security, and he explain it very well. If i go to visit you to your house, do i go in with a box, glass box . No. If i go to your house to visit you, i want to be with you, near you, and i want to touch you. And he said, i know that someone, there always can be a crazy one that would do something. But i prefer this craziness, to have this risk, that there would be a barrier between me and the people. Pelley thats physical courage in the tradition of the popes religious order, the jesuits, who call themselves soldiers of god. These days, jesuits are also known for intellectual courage, battling over ideas. Abraham skorka i know him very, very well that hes a revolutionary, and hes not a person who likes to go in the middle way. No, in the extremes. Pelley to know the leader of the catholic world, its helpful to talk to a rabbi. Abraham skorka of argentina is an old, close friend. You are the popes rabbi . Skorka let us say so. Pelley they met while debating one of the greatest of all human conflicts argentinean soccer. Skorkas team often chokes in the clutch, so the fans have a nickname. Skorka we receive the name of chickens. Pelley the chickens. Skorka the chickens. Why . Not a lion, not a tiger, but a chicken. Pelley francis is a card carrying member of a rival team. This is his actual membership card. His holiness couldnt resist temptation though when he said this to skorka. Skorka i guess that this year we are going to eat chicken soup. Oh, i received that as an aggression, as a real aggression, but i understood that behind the joke was a message look, we can joke together. We can speak on the same level. Las manos de dios. Pelley they did speak on the level in a tv series and a book they wrote together. After all, pontiff is latin for bridge builder. You learned that there could be conversation, Common Ground among the faiths . Skorka yes. Pelley but soccer, no . Skorka no. Never pelley Jorge Bergoglio took his vows to heaven as argentina went to hell. In the 1970s, many thousands vanished in the dictatorships mill of torture and death. Bergoglio helped hide opponents of the government. Still, rabbi skorka told us that francis is troubled, like many in his generation, over whether he could have done more. The pope keeps telling everyone who will listen that he is a sinner, chief among sinners. Why does he say that . Skorka because hes showing a way. One of the great sins of the leaders throughout the world is that they used to appear before their people as perfect persons and perfect leaders. Hes teaching what a real leader must be. Lo que es increible. Pelley we saw that lesson when the pope met an argentinean adversary. President Cristina Kirchner once called him medieval for opposing her plan for gay adoption and samesex marriage. Watch what happens. Shell touch him and recoil, thinking its not allowed. See how he reacts. It seems francis has kissed the past goodbye. To my eye, when you see photographs of bergoglio as archbishop in buenos aires, he looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. He looks like a man who is tired. And now, you see pictures of him as pope, when he does have the weight of the world on his shoulders, and he is smiling and light. Help me understand that. Skorka he understood very, very well that his image must be an image of hope. Pelley he understood how important it was that a tired old man didnt shuffle out onto that balcony . Skorka yes. Thats true. He changed. Pelley hes changing many things, including the ancient ritual of washing feet on holy thursday as jesus did with his disciples. With popes, theyre almost always the feet of priests. But francis cleansed and kissed teenagers in a criminal detention center. Two were women unheard of and two in the group were muslim. When traditions like that wash away so easily, people begin to talk, and there are some incredible francis stories. Theres the one about the pope sneaking out of the vatican at night behind the wheel of a beat up old car to minister to the poor in rome, and one of him driving the same car to the airport to pick up an old friend. The trouble is, those stories and all of their variations are not true. The people who work closely with the pope tell us that what he does do is pick up the phone and call a lot of people. Its a desk phone, not a cell phone. His emails and tweets, were told, are sent by the staff. Did he want to be pope in your estimation . Pique well, he, himself. When he met one day people from jesuit school, and there was a little girl that ask him did you want to be a pope . , and he said, you have to be crazy to want to be a pope. Pelley it is all consuming. At 77, he rises to every public audience the blind, the deaf, the poor, the sick, the dying. Crazy or maybe just an old jesuit soldier embracing his final orders. When we come back, well talk to president obama about his conversation with the pope in rome, and well look at what francis did last friday that no pope has ever done before.

Burke] talk to farmers and get smarter about your insurance. We are farmers bum pa dum, bum bum bum bum pelley last friday, pope francis was reading a prepared script about children and families when he stopped and did something that no pope has ever done. Off the cuff, he took personal responsibility for the rape and abuse of children by priests. He said, i feel compelled to personally take on all the evil, to personally ask for forgiveness for the damage done. It was another advance from a pope of firsts first from the americas, first jesuit. Before francis was elected, many expected the cardinals to select a younger man for the job because the sins of the church were so great. But after a year, it appears the 77yearold francis may be equal to the task. What did he inherit in the vatican . Mickens oh, he inherited a mess. Pelley Robert Mickens is an american journalist who has been covering the vatican for more than 25 years. Mickens he came in at a time when there was a great scandal. There were documents being leaked in the press about financial corruption, cronyism. There were even some Sexual Misconduct that was in these documents that were leaked. He had a very clear mandate from the cardinals that elected him clean up the house. Pelley hes cleaning with committees of cardinals and lay people, investigating sex abuse, the vatican bank and reform of the ancient bureaucracy of the church itself, starting with the executive offices at headquarters known as the roman curia, latin for court. Mickens he set up a council, a privy council of eight cardinals from around the world, to advise him on reforming the curia and governing the Universal Church. Really . Governing the Universal Church . Most people overlooked that they thought he was going to come in and clean up the vatican and reform the roman curia. Instead, what francis has embarked upon is a reform of the governing structure of the church. Pelley and the church that he dreams of looks like what . Mickens a Missionary Church, a Missionary Church that shows the mercy of god, a church thats not wagging its finger at people, not scolding people, but is inviting people, walking with people, befriending people. He uses the word synodal, synod. Synod means walking with not just for the church, but its for all humanity. Hes called the church a Field Hospital after a battle. Pelley the battlefield wounded that francis speaks of are catholics harmed by the church and the wider world of the dispossessed. He said this about the media and public attention. This is what gets through today. If investments in the banks and elsewhere drop a little, oh, tragedy what can we do . But if people die of hunger. If theyre sick, no, none of that gets through. Lacroix were a sleeping giant, we are. The church is a sleeping giant. Pelley to understand francis, we went to one of the people he handpicked. The career of Gerald Lacroix of quebec city is similar to the popes, leading through the slums of latin america. The pope has faith in lacroix, and so made him one of his first new cardinals, although francis didnt mention that to lacroix before the announcement. Lacroix most of the time, i guess, from what ive heard, one or two or three days ahead of time, they get a heads up. You know, get ready, the pope will announce such and such a day. But this time, francis decided to do things differently. Pelley he seems to decide to do a lot of things differently. Lacroix yeah, yeah. Its challenging, but its wonderful. It keeps us on our toes. Pelley lacroix found out about his elevation in a divine message written on a tablet. His ipad woke him, dinging with notes of congratulations. Later, he got a letter from the pope. Lacroix the letter said this now, you being named a Cardinal Gerald is not a promotion, its not an honor and its not a decoration; it is a call to widen your sprit and a call to serve. Pelley the pope has graced the covers of many magazines. Theres even a magazine dedicated just to him now. But he has described all of this attention as offensive. Why do you think so . Lacroix i think maybe its in. In a way, a way to tell us, its not about me. Of course, hes very popular. Hes very attractive. Hes such a joyful man. That, in itself, makes him a star. But what hes telling us down deep is, its not about me. Turn to the lord. Pelley and turn to the people. One of the first things francis asked lacroix to do was administer a questionnaire to the parishes. The pope wanted to know what people thought about samesex marriage, contraception and divorce. Lacroix we need to look at reality. We need to look where people are at. And we need to look at the gospel and the teaching of our church and see how we can help people from where theyre at, to grow. Pelley you are abundantly aware of the urgent concerns that many catholics have about the sex abuse scandals, about financial scandals at the vatican, about the role of women in the church. What are we going to see in your estimation from this pope on those very important matters . Lacroix just mentioning the sex scandal, excuse me, always touches me because of lack of coherence and because of sin. So many people have been hurt in the united states, in canada, in many other parts of the world. And that is absolutely scandalous, unacceptable. You talked about difficulties in economics, in the way we handle money, properties. He was, right from day one, very, very involved in making sure that those things change. Pelley the pope surprised people in a News Conference when he said, if someone is gay and searching for the lord and has good will, then who am i to judge him . The pope has written that church has a false sense of security with rules that make us harsh judges. He asked, whom are we going to evangelize if this is the way we act . Mickens this upsets a lot of very conservative catholics because hes the one supposed to judge, you know . What he has done is, hes opened up discussion in the church. There had been no discussion on issues like birth control, about premarital sex, about divorced and remarried catholics. None whatsoever. Theres been no discussion for the last probably 35 years on that. Hes getting them to speak about it over the next two years. The pope says, if theres opposition, if there. People disagree, thats not a problem. We want discussion. Thats something very, very new. Pelley but on a couple of old controversies, francis has closed discussion. Opposition to abortion will remain firm. He says the right to life is linked to every other human right. And the priesthood will remain male. What are francis limitations . Mickens hes got to do some more with women because they are more than half the church. And they are the ones that are effectively keeping the church, you know, up and running. But they are not at the heart of decision making. Pelley francis roadmap for the church is in the first thing he wrote as pope, called joy of the gospel, emphasis on joy. He writes, an evangelizer must never look like someone who has just come back from a funeral. Does he get a perverse pleasure out of tweaking all the protocols of the vatican and breaking all the rules . Mickens i wonder. I mean, i do. I think a lot of us do. Hes just being himself. I remember about a month into the pontificate, a priest friend of his from buenos aires gave an interview and said, you know, i talked to him on the phone, and i said to him jorge, is this not a problem that youre not living in the palace and not wearing the red shoes . and he said to me, he said, pepe, if i did that, i would look ridiculous. Thats not me. pelley truth is, the pope loves a joke, and his holiness has a devilish wit. You can see it in the eyes after the gotcha punch line. And the mightier the audience, the sweeter the punch. Two weeks ago, after meeting the pope for the first time, president obama spoke with us at the u. S. Ambassadors residence in rome. He told us that francis joked that for two men of great power, it was really young people who ordered them around. Can you give me a sense of what its like to be in the presence of pope francis . President obama he is a wonderful man. He projects the kind of humility and kindness that is consistent with my understanding at least of. Of jesus teachings. His simplicity and his belief in the power of the spiritual over the material reflects itself in. In everything that he says and does. And i suspect my sense is, is that hes a little bit uncomfortable with all the trappings of being pope. Pelley embarrassed by them . Obama well, he. You know, thats not his style. And that is part of why i think he has been so embraced around the world. Because people get a sense that first and foremost he sees himself as a priest and as a disciple of christ and as somebody who is concerned with, you know, the least of these. Pelley what did the pope say to you in that meeting that inspired you . Obama well, we spent a bulk of our conversation around issues of poverty and inequality, themes that he has been talking about quite a bit, and obviously issues that i care about deeply. The very poor finding fewer and fewer ladders to get into the middle class. Youth unemployment high. You know, these are chronic problems. And what the popes able to do in a way that no politician is able to do is to shake peoples conscience and to shine a light on the problem. Its our job to come up with policies to do something. What the pope can do is to help mobilize Public Opinion pelley but how practical is that . Stalin once said of the power of the papacy, how many divisions does the pope have . Obama im a big believer in the power of conscience, the power of faith, the power of a message of hope. I think over time thats what moves history. Tanks and divisions and dollars and cents, you know, all those things obviously make a difference, but ideas are the most powerful thing on earth. Pelley the power of the papacy comes laden with eight official titles. They start with the grand bishop of rome, vicar of christ, etc. , etc. But the last is the most modest, servant of the servants of god. Maybe in titles, francis looks to the book of matthew, let the last be the first. Mickens one man in one little tiny place in the center of the city of rome cant do everything, and no one should expect him to. But he is there as an icon, as the captain of the ship, in a sense. And now, its. You know, its up to the rest of the church to get with this very Challenging Program. And any christian thats not challenged whatever you are, right, left, center, conservative, progressive if youre not challenged by pope francis, as one of my colleagues recently said, youre not listening.

Cooper eight days from now, a Million People are expected to line the streets of boston to watch 36,000 runners compete in the worlds oldest and most prestigious marathon. The memory of the bombings near the finish line of last years Boston Marathon is still fresh. And next week, the race promises to be unlike any other in its 117year history, a chance for the city to come together and reclaim a beloved tradition that was torn apart by an act of terror. There hasnt been an american winner, male or female, of the Boston Marathon in almost 30 years. Kenyan and ethiopian runners now dominate the sport. But this year, an American Woman named Shalane Flanagan has a very real chance of winning the 26mile race. Shes only 54 and 102 pounds. But dont be fooled shes been called a ponytailed assassin in knee socks. She also happens to have grown up in boston, which makes her next weeks hometown favorite. Flanagan maybe its just a bostonian thing, but i was really, genuinely just pissed off that someone would ruin such a. What is such a celebratory day and a historical moment with that kind of action. Cooper you were angry. Flanagan i was angry. I was really pissed off that. That someone would do this. Its like it was a personal attack to my city. Cooper Shalane Flanagan has been running in her city since she was a teenager. She grew up in marblehead, a nearby suburb, and though she lives in portland, oregon, now, she frequently returns to boston to train along the marathon route. Flanagan its my ultimate dream and goal to win the Boston Marathon. I am all in with this training. I have been out on the course, training on it, multiple times this fall. And i know almost every divot and bump in the road. Cooper the Boston Marathon has been a part of Shalane Flanagans life since she was a child. Both her parents were marathon runners. Her father ran 11 minutes off world record pace at the Boston Marathon in 1980. Her mother set a womens world marathon record in 1971. Flanagan i thought everyones parents ran. I thought everyone got up and went to the. You know, sunday long run. Cooper you thought everybodys parents did that . Flanagan yeah. I thought it was, like, church of sunday long run. Cooper the church of sunday long run . Flanagan thats what my dad would call it. Cooper long before she ever thought of running the Boston Marathon, shalane used to stand near the finish line of the race to cheer her father on. Flanagan i watched from hereford all the way down to the finish. And thats exactly the two areas where the bombs went off. So it was a surreal moment to think of that was. I was a little kid watching my. My dad run right there. I mean, that easily could have been me or my sister. Cooper when the bombs exploded last year three people were killed, 264 others were injured. The youngest victim was eight yearold martin richard. William evans to see the young bodies lying there on boylston street, its something that ill never get out of my mind. Cooper William Evans is the new Boston Police commissioner. Hes also a competitive runner. Last years marathon was the 18th hed run in boston. Evans to have just come down that street an hour earlier with such excitement, such joy, and then to return again, it. I just didnt believe that could happen on boylston street in the city of boston. Cooper commissioner evans wanted to run again this year, but decided he should stay in the command post to oversee security. Evans youre going to see 36,000 people on that course with the same principle lets prove that we wont be intimidated by what happened back in april. Tom grilik the race, this year, for a great many people, will be about that. It will be seen as a response to terror, as a statement of resilience. Cooper tom grilik is the executive director of the boston athletic association, which has organized the marathon throughout its long history. Grilik the event will go forward as what it has always been both an Athletic Competition focused on excellence, and a celebration around here of a great event in our community. Cooper this year, he believes more spectators than ever will be on the streets cheering on the runners. They want to take part . Grilik they want to take part. If youre out there as a spectator and somebody comes along and their tshirt says carly on it, a thousand people along the way will say, go carly. And everybody will have a good time. Cooper carly will suddenly have thousands of new friends . Grilik carly will look wicked happy. Cooper most runners in next weeks marathon will just be happy to finish or reach a personal best. But for Shalane Flanagan and the other top runners, the goal is winning, and the race is as much about strategy and psychology as it is physical conditioning. Obviously, marathons are painful. But for you, its about being able to deal with pain yourself, and also, inflict pain on others. Flanagan uhhuh. Cooper thats part of the strategy. Flanagan yes. You know, when i start to feel fairly uncomfortable, its. Its all about embracing it and realizing its inevitable and. Cooper embracing the pain . Flanagan embracing it, yes. So if im uncomfortable, i usually know my competitors are uncomfortable. If theyre straggling behind, thats kind of the time when i say, im going to put the screw in. I can tell that theyre either struggling mentally or physically, so im going to just push it and just see if i can break them. Cooper this is going to sound like an odd question, but do you like inflicting pain on your opponents . Flanagan i think everyone whos got a competitive bone in their body, to a certain degree, enjoy seeing, a little bit, some of the. Having their competition fall apart. Cooper when shalane started running in high school, there wasnt much strategy to her racing. Flanagan i would run so hard that i would literally make myself collapse. Cooper ive heard you refer to it as kamikaze racing. Flanagan yeah. I mean, its not. Cooper kamikazes dont end up very well. Flanagan i know, but sometimes it could be brilliant. Cooper shalane was a champion crosscountry runner in college, and won a bronze medal in the 10,000 meter race at the beijing olympics. But to compete in the marathon, shalane needed to learn a whole new way to run. In 2009, at the age of 28, shalane moved to portland, oregon, and began working with coach jerry schumacher. Jerry schumacher were going to do two loops, which is a little over 24 miles. Im prepping her to learn how to run 26 miles without blowing yourself up. Cooper which she had never done before. Schumacher which. Yeah, because she likes to go out and she likes to suffer. And in a marathon, if youre suffering at mile three, youre probably not going to finish. Cooper running is shalanes fulltime job. She is sponsored by nike, which allows her to focus solely on training for the Boston Marathon. She often runs twice a day, up to 120 miles a week. In addition to lifting weights, she has to rigorously monitor everything she eats. Food is fuel, but she doesnt want to gain any extra weight shell have to carry during the marathon. Watching shalane and other top marathoners compete, its easy to forget just how fast and how far theyre running. Last years female winner of the Boston Marathon, kenyan rita jeptoo, closed her final mile at a pace of four minutes and 50 seconds. To finish a marathon, running at four minutes and 50 seconds per mile, thats incredible. Schumacher its incredible. After 25 miles of running, you have to be ready, even if it takes just that last mile, you know, to do whatever. You got to do whatever it takes to get in to that finish line. Cooper to get a sense of just how fast shalane runs during a marathon, we decided to try to keep up with her on a race track at nike headquarters, where she trains. Flanagan is this like a real race . Cooper this is a real race. Cooper shalane would run a quartermile at her Marathon Race pac, and i would run as fast as i could, trying to stay with her. Youre going to go for your marathon pace, and im. Flanagan well see if you like that pace. Cooper okay. Jerry started us off. Schumacher ready. Set. Go cooper i jumped out front at first, but within a few seconds, shalane, with her even pace and easy, flowing stride, blew right past me, laughing all the way. She completed the quartermile in about 79 seconds. Schumacher almost there. cooper oh, my god. Keep in mind that, to complete a marathon, youd have to run that distance 104 more times. Did you feel me suffering out there . Flanagan yeah. Did you hear those giggles . That was pure joy. Cooper you were giggling, yes. Cooper shalanes first marathon was in 2010 in new york city. Remarkably, she came in second behind kenyan edna kipligat. And its Shalane Flanagan cooper . Completing the 26. 2 miles in two hours and 28 minutes. It was the best finish by an American Woman in new york in 20 years. What did that tell you . Schumacher that she can run the 26 miles. She can do the training for it. And in the right kind of race, shes going to be definitely dangerous. Cooper last year, shalane ran the Boston Marathon for the first time. Early in the race, she and the other top women were running sixminute miles, a relatively slow pace. When Kenyas Rita Jeptoo finally picked up the pace in the last few miles, shalanes legs couldnt keep up. Flanagan boston has this really fun way of trashing your quads. As much as you tell your legs to respond and to pop off the ground and, like, as much as you want it spiritually and mentally, if your legs dont have it, they dont have it. Theres nothing you can do. Like, i try to talk to them. Im like, legs, you have to keep moving. You have to turn over. You need to be coming and giving me more energy. But if its not there, its not there. Its not much you can do. Cooper youre actually talking to your legs while youre running . Flanagan oh yeah, i have talks with them. Yeah, ill look at my quads, and im like, come on, you can do this. And so. I mean, no one sees that. Cooper do they respond . Flanagan no. Theyre usually like, hey, screw you. You know, weve been running for a long time. Cooper shalane finished fourth, and after the bombings, was the first runner to sign up again to compete this year. For the past 12 months, shes been focused on this one race, memorizing the marathon route in boston, running long distances in portland, and running at High Altitude in the mountains of arizona. All of it, every mile, dedicated to returning to boston in peak form and winning the marathon. To you, winning the Boston Marathon would be bigger than winning an olympic medal . Flanagan yeah. You could say, here, shalane, you have an olympic medal, or you could win the Boston Marathon. A nobrainer, to me, would be winning the Boston Marathon. Cooper why . Flanagan it is personal. Its where my inspiration started. Its where i fell in love with running. Cooper what would it mean if a local person, someone from boston won the womens race . Evans it would be super, it would. It would just signify again how resilient this community is and how hard someone would train to make sure this was special for everyone, so well go crazy. Grilik the people who line the road know. Certainly know any local runner who is there. So they will all know shalane. Cooper do you think there are going to be a lot of people on the sidelines cheering for shalane . Grilik i think there will be a great many people on the sidelines cheering for. Cooper shalane. Grilik go, shalane. Go, marblehead. Cooper shell need all the support she can get. Last years winner, rita jeptoo, will also be running again next week. Is rita jeptoo beatable . Flanagan i believe so. Anyone is beatable. Rita jeptoo is a phenomenal athlete, and i really admire her. But i know that, on any given day, i can beat her. Cooper beating rita jeptoo and her other opponents may come down to personal motivation shalanes anger and heartbreak over what happened in boston last year. Flanagan theres probably not a day that goes by that i dont think about the events that unfolded there. Cooper did that add to your desire to run this year . Flanagan absolutely. After what happened with the bombs and everything that unfolded, it just gave more meaning and more incentive to pour everything i have into winning it. Cooper a few months ago, we accompanied shalane on one of her final practice runs along the Boston Marathon course. Despite all her rigorous training, her constant study of the physiology and psychology of running, when it comes to the Boston Marathon, Shalane Flanagan isnt immune to a little superstition. Flanagan i dont cross it. Cooper as many times as youve practiced in boston leading up to this race, as many times as youve run on the actual course, you have yet to actually cross the finish line in practice. Flanagan ive only crossed the finish line once. Cooper last year. Flanagan last year. Cooper during the race. Flanagan yes. And i havent done it in practice, no. So ill save that for the day, for the real race. Tonight the massive manhunt. What did scott pelley learn from 100 hours of boston bombing coverage . Go 60minutesovertime. Comver.

Org stahl now, an update on a story morley safer reported last week that we called discovered. Two years ago, German Authorities uncovered the largest trove of missing art since the end of world war ii. More than 1,400 works were crammed into the tiny munich apartment of cornelius gurlitt, the son of one of hitlers favorite art dealers. Safer did you have any idea that he had so many paintings in that apartment . Ekkeheart gurlitt i tell you what nobody had any idea about this. laughs really, how can you live with 1,400 paintings in. In a flat. A 90squaremeter flat . I thought, maybe has a 100 or 150, but 1,000, we are. Everybody was surprised, you know. Safer picasso was just the beginning. Cornelius gurlitts secret hoard of art included modern masters like matisse, chagall, franz mark, and otto dix. Stahl the art, worth more than a billion dollars, came from museums, jewishowned galleries, and collectors, some of it believed to be either looted or sold under nazi duress. Although prosecutors seized the collection as part of a tax investigation, this week, they agreed to return most of the works to gurlitt, who, under germanys 30year statute of limitations, is their legal owner. Gurlitt, in turn, has agreed to return any art that proves to be stolen. Im lesley stahl. Well be back next week with another edition of 60 minutes.
