With more now were joined by cbs News Business analyst jill schlesinger. Jill, lesss talk about the criminal case. What do you think happens next . Well, i think its really hard to make criminal case. Thats why no c. E. O. Has gone to jail since the whole financial crisis erupted. Weve seen a lot of civil suits but no criminal cases where someone has actually had to go to jail. They are notoriously difficult to bring and to win. So it may be one more case that gets settled. But i dont expect there to be a criminal charge against jay me die man individually or anyone else in that c suite. Jeff a 13 billion settlement, what cuss it mean for us. I dont think it means that much, i know that is disheartening. There will be some that get mortgage modification, thats great. And there will be a lot of money to be pour mood that. But for the regular old person out there, if you own jpmorgan stock t didnt really affect your stock price, it is a deal anticipated for quite some time. And for the rest of us, i dont feel really good about this deal and i dont think anybody else does. Jeff you mentioned jay me die man, what is his future now. A lot of people mention whether he is going to lose his job. I done see that happening. The board has been very much supportive of him. So have the share hoferlds there have been some efforts to try to split his role as c. E. O. And chairman of the board. Those resolutions have actually not passed in the last couple of years. I dont think it will happen again, i think he will retain the role, maybe with an ego slightly diminished but to the by that much. Jeff meanwhile as banks get squeezed wall street continues to set records, what is happening . The market overall is euphoric about not going over the debt ceiling. That doesnt mean the economy is growing as a sizzling pace or that there are lots of jobs forthcoming. We have to keep an eye on all the data that is about to come out that we didnt get in the last few weeks that will probably determine the next leg up in the stock market. Jeff jill, always great to see you. Great to be with you. Jeff up next, where is avonte oquendo, an all out search in new york.

Jeff in early 20th century some of americas greatest writers got their start in the cheap popular magazines known as full fiction because of the wood paper they were printed on. Some say pulp fiction is hardly worth preserving. The library of congress disagrees. Chip reid tonight has a look inside a remarkable restoration project. I have a piece of the pulp paper and it just, you can see what happens to it if you bend it at all t really just disintegrates. Reporter Jeanne Drewes manages restoration experts at the library of congress, with over 14,000 pulp magazines and novels housed in the collection theyre trying to preserve the works before they disappear. It is a race against time. And every time something gets used that is in this fragile a condition t can be further damaged. Pulp paper was never meant to be saved. Cheap to produce, the edges are ragged but the titles coupled with lurid covers convinced millions of readers to part with their change. That was its bait, the covers were the bait krt crime writer and fan George Pelecanos said the books lit a fire under him. Bull novels were about people who stumble, without go to work every day. They dont usually win big in the end but they have these moments of glorious redemption. Pulp fiction created opportunities for some of mercks most famous writers like erle stanley gardner, ray bradbury and raymond chandler. Pelecanos says the writing sprang from the minds of men and women traumatize by war. It seemed all sorts of horrible things, seen a lot of death. They came back and started writing these very, very dark books. Chandler when describing this genre famously said the streets were dark with something more than night. Reporter some literary critics were unimpressed but pelecanos says pulp fiction is an important piece of literary history. As a cultural artifact it is important to keep all of them. And recognize that that the genre produced some true masterpieces of american fiction. They transported readers to new and different worlds. Thats the value of fiction, isnt it. To be able to put yourself in someone elses place for just a little while and experience that. And thats what these were. An experience the library of congress is now preserving for future generations. Chip reid, cbs news, washington. The largest u. S. Naval destroyer ever built is about to hit the water.

The story behind a very big portrait of a little girl. Jeff finally tonight 11 acres of artwork. Not a museum, its in a field and its he unlikely youve ever seen anything like it, heres alphonso van marsh.

When you got parried you know its sup8osqb to page sense but you cant make much sense of it. So whenever you come up and actually see the progress you have made for the day or the week its phenomenal. Phenomenal, but you wont be able to see the progress for long, as the rainy season moves in, the wishful smile will soon be washed away. All alphonso van marsh, cbs news, london.
