Reporter while much of the country is blasted fury, theres a state where the flowers are blooming and winter seems so far away. What does a lei symbolize . What does it mean . In hawaii we have a thing called the aloha spirit. If it was tangible, it would be a lei. Reporter come along to paradise. Ahead on sunday morning. Osgood tracy smith talks with playwright edward albee. David edelstein reviews the oscarnominated film amour. Steve hartman visits a young chicken farmer with pluck and more. First the headlines for this sunday morning the 27th of january, 2013. From southern brazil comes news of a huge nightclub fire. Firefighters in the town of santa maria say at least 245 people were killed inside the club. Hundreds more were hurt. It is not yet clear what started the fire. Its been a weekend of bloodshed in chicago. Six people were shot dead in the city yesterday. Two of the killings happened just blocks from an antigun rally. Among the victims was a 16yearold boy. Another guncontrol rally took place in washington yesterday with thousands marching calling for stricter weapons laws. The senate is preparing to begin debating the issue this week. Hackers have taken aim at the department of justice. Yesterday a group known as anonymous took over the u. S. Sentencing commissions website. They say it was a response to the suicide earlier this month of aaron swartz. He is a computer prodigy who was facing up to 45 years in prison for allegedly illegally downloading millions of academic articles. The first of six Patriot Missile defense batteries is now operating in southern turkey. Nato says it underscores the alliances willingness to help turkey to intercept any rockets fired from syria. Iran yesterday warned that it would view any attack on syria as an attack on iran itself. Longtime u. S. Senator tom harkin, democrat of iowa, announced yesterday that he will not seek a sixth term. As for why hark insaid i just think its time for me to step aside. Remember when people used to mail letters . If youre among those engaging in that quaint custom, first class postage has gone up again. 46 cents now as of today. No wonder so many of us dont do that anymore. Now to weather. The cold snap goes on and today as much as six inches of snow is expected in the upper midwest. Things will warm up over the next couple of days, but it wont last long. The chill returns at the end of the week. Next, the invasion of the super bugs. When a man loves a woman osgood and later singer songwriter michael mmmmmm. A choice of 6 skillet entrees, each with an appetizer and dessert . Whoa no wonder they call it a complete meal. 3 courses, one diner price. Complete skillet meals starting at 8. 99. Only at dennys. P osgood can anything stop the socalled super bugs that are making people sick and seem to defy the tools of medical science . Researchers are working on it but to no avail so far. That is the subject of our cover story, reported now by serena altschul. Reporter two month old harrison carlynn has been in and out of intensive care all of his short life. Born in kidney failure he came here to get lifesustaining treatment but instead his surroundings may contain a deadly threat. It kills people. This one right here. This one the mortality rate in some of the outbreaks has been as high as 40 . Reporter terrifying. Theyre called super bugs. They have an enemy in this man. These are the very dangerous organisms. Reporter Infectious Disease specialist dr. Robert muller at harvards Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has devoted more than 40 years to studying them. Why do you love these bugs so much . Theyre among the most interesting things that we can study. Reporter what he finds interesting many people find terrifying. Thats because super bugs are extraordinarily resilient bacteria. They tend to infect hospital patients and even kill those who are extremely ill. The most recent study on Health Care Associated infections in u. S. Hospitals found that out of about 1. 7 million infections, nearly 99,000 patients die. According to one of the studys authors, the vast majority of the deaths were due to super bugs. Are some super bugs resistant to all the antibiotics that we have at our disposal . A few of them are literally resistant to everything. Fortunately these are the exceptions rather than the rule. But the fact that we have any of these at all is cause for alarm because the only thing we can say is were to see more of these as time goes on. Reporter super bugs can enter a patient through surgical wounds and catheters including i. V. S. Uncontrolled, they continue to move throughout the body attacking a persons organs. At the top of your list, what are the bacteria that youre most concerned about now . The socalled escape organisms. That includes organisms called the reason were concerned and the reason that theyre singled out is because these are the ones that commonly cause infections in humans. These are the ones that have developed multiple resistance. Reporter take the one that the doctor says is resistant to just about everything. It only recently came to this country. The war wounds in iraq often became infected with this bacteria. Soldiers were then bringing it back to military bases and ultimately to hospitals military hospitals in the united states. It shows the ability of this particular organism to get into a hospital and shows the difficulty in getting rid of it when that happens. Reporter in fact, most super bugs, in addition to run of the mill viruses and bacteria, make the job of cleaning and disinfecting hospitals even more challenging. So Johns Hopkins hospital in baltimore, maryland, has implemented a hightech approach investing in two pairs of stateoftheart robots to disinfect i. C. U. Rooms. The robots spew vapors of Hydrogen Per Oxide. We hear that super bugs are so hard to kill. Its incredible that Hydrogen Per Oxide can kill them. The concentration that is required is very high and toxic. Reporter i see. Infectious disease specialist dr. Trish pearl. Hydrogen per oxide isnt what you put on your cuts. Exactly. Thats 2 . This is 35 . Reporter dr. Pearl has studied how well the robots work against super bugs. They actually are highly effective. Reporter she found a 90 reduction in the room and a 60 decrease in transmission from one patient to the next. Oh, it changes culture because we could look at people and say, this room is essentially sterile now. Reporter that is perhaps more important now than ever. A deadly strain of bacteria recently made headlines when there was an outbreak of the super bug at the National Institutes of health in bethesda maryland. Seven patients died. The doctor says there will be more outbreaks because like other super bugs, this one is always changing. Theyre able to pick up new resistance genes. I suspect that were going to see continued progression of resistance in these organisms. Reporter which makes treatment all the more difficult. The mortality rate for this particular strain of bacteria is 30 to 40 . For an infek disease thats very high. A mortality rate of 23 is really high. Reporter the doctor says other super bugs are also dangerous, just in different ways. Take m. R. S. A. Even though it has resistant in its name, Drug Resistance isnt what makes m. R. S. A. Most troubling. M. R. S. A. Is not resistant to absolutely everything yet. The reason its a big problem is because the organisms easily spread from person to person. Reporter so it moves so quickly. Its almost hard to catch up to it . Yes. And it can cause such a wide variety of infections. It can literally infect every tissue of the body except the fingernails and the teeth. Reporter and that can be lifethreatening to patients like little harrison carlynn. So Johns Hopkins instituted a protocol of washing all children in its i. C. U. In a special antiseptic call. Its like taking a giant wet one and wiping all over. We start with the chin and we wipe the entire body from the chin down. Reporter pediatric Infectious Disease specialist aaron millstone found it proceed them from blood infections. Hes now testing if it will protect them from m. R. S. A. Too. An early study funded by the c. D. C. Showed that bathing i. C. U. Patients reduced spread of m. R. S. A. By about i think it was 35 . Reporter youre replicating that study study now with children. There are now incentives to decrease infection rates. Financial incentives from the federal government. Reporter but harvards dr. Robert mullerring says thats not enough. Until more money is spent on antibiotic research, super bugs cant and wont be stopped. Well, this is a ticking time bomb because of the fact that the bacteria are developing resistance mechanisms more rapidly now than we can find new antibiotics. It is in a very real sense an emergency. We need to deal with this soon. Or were back to the preantibiotic era. Reporter mortality rates then were really grim . They were.

For that was the openingconr day for the silent film hare zan of the apes with he will mow lincoln in the title role. The first film to be based stories of edgar rice burrows was an immediate hit to be followed by several other tilent tarzan films. In 1932 came the first full talking tarzan picture. Tarzan the ape man starring johnny wise muller. A gold medal winning olympic swimmer, he had no acting experience but as tarzan he found his true calling. tarzan call . Osgood in the film, tarzan also finds true love in the form of jane, an english explorers daughter played by maureen sullivan. Though tarzan never actually says me tarzan you jane in this film or any other one this exchange does come close. And you you. Tarzan. Jane. Tarzan. Osgood in the 1939 film tarzan adopts the infant survivor of an airplane crash whom tarzan comes up with the perfect name. Boy. Thats not a name. Boy. Osgood and boy it was. Played convincingly for years by Johnny Sheffield. While all three actors had left the series by 1948 many another tarzan film has followed. Including 1984s the legend of tarzan lord of the apes starring Christopher Lambert widely regarded as the adaptation most faithful to the original character. For many fans john remained the definitive tarzan despite the lack of acting credentials that gave even him some doubts as you remembered. For a while i didnt think i would make it. I was so bad that i was natural. Osgood johnny weismuller, Maureen Osullivan even Johnny Sheffield are gone now. Tarzan himself lives on. Never to know defeat. tarzan calling .

Ai wei wei is an artist who is causing Chinese Government censors more than a few sleepless nights. Rita braver with a portrait of an artist as a dissident unvowed. Reporter this may look like a bowl of pearls and this merely a collection of crabs. Yet to artist ai wei wei they represent the idea that there is value not just in the group but also in each individual. Whether in art or in life. A notion that is not always welcome in china. speaking chinese embedded in the works whether they are directly political or not i think are his ideas and his desire to see the world change. Reporter that attitude can now be seen at the smithsonians museum in washington. According to chief curator gary brower. Was this the first major exhibit in the u. S. Of ai wei weis work . Yes, it is indeed. Reporter there are whimsical sculptures made of bicycles and antique charless that suggest how old ideas can be transformed. And then there is this series of photos showing ai wei wei actually dropping a 2,000yearold han dynasty vase. First of all he is trying to shock you. Hes trying to shake you up. Reporter why would you drop that . By destroying objects it brings attention to the destruction thats happening in society. Its almost Like Fighting fire with fire. Reporter 55yearold ai wei wei learned to challenge Authority Early on. His father a famous revolutionary poet, was accused of criticizing the communist government for not allowing full expression. So in 1957, like many intellectuals, he was sent along with his whole family to the provinces to be reeducated. In exile,. An exile that lasted 18 years. speaking chinese but ai wei weis real Artistic Development began when he came to the u. S. On a fellowship in 1983 and stayed ten years. Through the people he met in new york city, the alan ginsburgs, that opened his mind up. He began even in those days to become a kind of street photographer. That included demonstrations. Reporter he returned to china where his work in everything from sculpture to architecture was so well respected that he was chosen to help design the signature birds nest stadium for the 2008 beijing olympics. He photographed the construction. Hes created for this installation here at the museum meu an environmental installation where you walk through. Youre standing in it feeling like youre part of it. Reporter but ai wei wei ended up disowning his own work because he thought the government was using the stadium as a symbol of nationalism and authoritarianism. For years he had been smarting. Finally it came to a boiling point over the olympics over the hypocrisy that he saw the effort to sell the world a china that doesnt really exist. Reporter New York UniversityLaw School Professor jerome cohen is an expert on china and a longtime friend of ai wei wei. I was surprised at his political activism. I worried about him. Very dangerous. Reporter he says what really enraged the Chinese Government was that after the 2008 serb want earthquake that killd more than 85,000 people, ai wei wei began investigating shoddy construction. As shown in this recent documentary, he was beaten by police and had to be hospitalized. Then in 2011, he was imprisoned for 81 days on allegedly trumpedup tax charges. Reporter he was finally released after a worldwide outcry. I cannot see anything. Reporter is he sort of a perpetual thorn in the side of the Chinese Government . That is an understatement. Theyve never seen anyone like him. Normally they just lock somebody up and throw away the key. But theyre afraid to do that with ai wei wei. Reporter though our cbs News Beijing Bureau was able to speak to ai wei wei this past week, he lives under constant surveillance and was not allowed to travel to the u. S. For his show. Reporter but he sent works that speak for him. A serpent constructed from small backpacks like those carried by children who died when their poorly built schools collapsed during the quake. An inspiration made of straightened rods that ai wei wei reformed from twisted iron he had sul vajed from the rubble. In a way this is like a memorial. It is also a warning that we need to be straight. We need to stand tall and straight against these kinds of things happening in the future. I want to say. His works are filled with questions. Thats what great art work does. It raises questions. It doesnt necessarily answer them for you. It makes you have to think about things. Osgood ahead, say it with flowers. And later say is that Michael Bolton . Osgood it happened this week, the deaths of two people as different as different can be. Linda died tuesday of Heart Failure in new york, the final chapter in a bizarre saga told in a 2007 documentary crazy love. In 1959, linda was 22 years old and pursued by a married lawyer ten years her senior named burton. Bert was relentless. He would not stop calling. He would not stop following me. Osgood after linda spurned him bert hired three thugs who showed up at her door, one of them armed with lye. He was already in the vestibule and he threw the liquid right in my face. I was burning. My face was burning. Osgood the attack left linda scarred and almost totally blind. The tabloids had a field day. At the end of two tumultuous trials burton was convicted and sent to prison. He survived the violent attica prison riot of 1971 and was then paroled in 1974. Friends arranged a reunion with linda who had never married and was a virtual recluse. To me she was just as beautiful as ever. In jail they made a new man out of him. And i proposed to her. Osgood long story short they were married in the fall of 1974. And remained married until the day she died. Burton, now 85, continues to deny that he ever intended for her to be attacked with lye. Linda was 75. We also learned of the death of larry salman who transcended the unpromising circumstances of his birth. I was born in brooklyn in 1942. I went three pounds and 12 ounces. I was in an incubator. They didnt think i would make it. Finally i made it. Osgood labeled mentally retarded at age 16, larry salman livedded for more than 40 years in a small new york city apartment and devoted himself to collecting contributions for charity. Hello sir. Can i see you one minute. Im collecting for the. Osgood the documentary the collector of bedford street was nominated for an Academy Award. I dont get paid for the fund raising. I like to do the fund raising because i get a good feeling. Osgood larry collected an estimated 300,000 over the course of his lifetime. People here get a daily phone call from larry. Reporter when he was in financial trouble his neighbors returned the favor by raising some 30,000 for a trust fund for him. I believe theres a heaven after this. I believe you can see your relatives. I hope i could. Osgood larry salman died of an apparent heart attack at the age of 70. Thank you. Thank you very much. Osgood still to come flower power.

Reporter where else but hawaii would you find so many people festooned with flowers at, say, baggage claim . Beautiful. Reporter airport lei shops provide a tropical welcome for tourists. But leis are just as much for locals as we saw at the Farmers Market on the big island. This one is very fragrant with miniature roses. Reporter and theyre a big seller for rosalyn rodriguez. You kissed her when she bought the lei. Unfortunately, a kiss comes with the lei. Reporter its kind of like in the fine print. Right. You cannot get a lei without a kiss. Its incomplete. Reporter another unwritten rule is if youre offered a lei its rude to refuse. And never get caught removing it in the leigivers presence. Youre inspecting this like a work of art. Well it is a work of art. Reporter kathy came for fruit and vegetables, but left with a lei. Im not going to wear it. Im going to keep it in my home. Every time i walk by it im going to be inspired with joy and love. Reporter she bought it from rowen who says her creations are much more than a bunch of flowers in a basket. This grounds me in the blood that connects me to this land. Reporter simply making a lei does that. Sure it does because the people of old they made leis to celebrate their being here. They made leis to honor the forces that created everything that they have around them. Reporter its almost spiritual. Definitely it is spiritual. Reporter the lei is is believed to have been introduced to hawaii by polynesian explorers who sailed here in canoes from tahiti. We like to use as many things as we can that we grew. Reporter and its had its own history in this family for three generationment. Rowen, her niece amy mills and mother Maureen Mcdonald can often be found stringing flowers. In hawaii we have a thing here called the aloha spirit. If the aloha spirit was tangible, if it was something you could see touch and hold in your hand or wear on your body, it would be a lei. Reporter we watched as marie strung around 1,000 tiny cigar flowers into one lei. What does it take to be a master leimaker . I dont know. Reporter they call you one. I know they call me one. Reporter maureen has written two books on the subject and says above all giving a lei is a sign of respect. Youre justin speiered by whatever is around you. Yes. Reporter 34 years ago the family planted this nearly 10acre farm. They call it a name which means flower place. Somebody may need a lei and theyll want a red one. This is a tropical drop rhododendron. Theyre tubular in shape. So we were attracted to them. You can line them up on a string and make a lei like that. Reporter amy, who studied music in massachusetts was drawn back to this land and got emotional just talking about what her grandmother taught her. It is my duty and my joy to carry on this tradition because while the lei will fade and go away the love that was in that lei never dies. Reporter marie, you have your daughter and granddaughter in tears here. Talking about what leis, what youve done. Sometimes they do exaggerate. Reporter flower garlands have been used for decoration around the world for centuries. And even found a modernday home in todays white house. Thanks to a hawaiian born president. In honolulu, hawaiis capital and tourist haven lei shops dot chinatown. This one has been here for 55 years. Shes 80 now but cindy lau is still hard at work uncounted by the nearly footlong needle or the pile of can ore yellow flowers ahead of her. How many leis do you think youve made in your lifetime . I made so many i cannot count anymore. Reporter her order on this day, 120 matching leis for a wedding. 6 right now. Reporter how long does it take you to make one of these . About three minutes. I dont know exactly what this is called but i just know it smells really good. Reporter one of cindys regulars is this 24yearold. Sill virginia will hand out these flowers to visitors at this giant lieu owl where he works and wearing a lei is another to do on a tourist checklist. In hawaii its just part of the culture. It signifies the circle. It represents love. A lei of love represents the neverending love that we have for each other. Reporter so much from just a string of flowers. If you start in on this other business, martha, i warn you. I stand using robotics and mobile technology, verizon innovators have made it possible for teachers to teach, and for a kid. Nathan. Tadpole. To feel like a kid again. Because the worlds Biggest Challenges deserve even bigger solutions. Powerful answers. Verizon. Anyway, im married. I had it all planned out. First hed take over the history department. When daddy retired hed take over the whole college. You know . That was the way it was supposed to be. Its sunday morning on cbs and here again is charles osgood. Osgood Elizabeth Taylor won an oscar and Richard Burton was nominated for one. Their performances in the 1966 film whos afraid of Virginia Woolf . To why when it came to honoring the writer of the original stage play with a Pulitzer Prize was it taken away from him . Who was afraid of edward albee . Tracy smith asked the questions. Edward albee provides the answers. Reporter playwright edward albee lives by a simple rule. Yes is better than no. Reporter in all things . In all things, yes. Reporter but albee is neither a pushover nor a simple man. After all he breathes life into these two. You really are a bastard. I . I had. Yes yes. Reporter george and martha the married couple who battled until dawn in whos afraid of Virginia Woolf on stage and on screen played by the reallife battling burtons Elizabeth Taylor and then husband Richard Burton. Like hell i will. Reporter in fact, george and martha are still going at it. Big big fat. Reporter . 50 years after the original production in a new staging on broadway. Stop it, martha. The hell i will. You see george didnt have much push. He was not particularly aggression i have been. In fact he was sort of a flop, a great big fat flop. Stop, martha. Reporter who could resist the chance to ask the playwright everything we want to know about what is considered one of americas greatest plays. Specifically with george and martha, are those based on people that you knew . Their probably elements of the personalities of some people that ive known that are not there but i think people that i can invent are usually more interesting than real people. Reporter at times interviewing albee can become a game of witts. What is Virginia Woolf about . Its about twoandahalf hours. That question troubles me so much what is is your play about . Its about everything that happens in it. Reporter you dont like to boil it down. Any play that can be described in one sentence should be one sentence long. You want me to act like you . Do you want me to go around all night bureing at everything the way you that you do . I dont bure. Reporter albee controls all aspects of productions of his plays from selecting the actors, director and even how his name and the plays title are written on the marquis. Its a way of protecting his work from the commercialism that he says is destroying broadway. Its all about not doing the best plays but doing the ones that will get. Sell the most tickets. Reporter which are what usually . Usually junk. Reporter do you go see them . Very seldom. I used to go see more since im on the league of voters. Now i just lie. Reporter on your tony ballot . Sure, that was okay. All these written. Albee has written some 30 plays in all and won his first tony award for Virginia Woolf back in 1963. Its by far his most famous. Early on it was a bit infamous too. Going back to 62 a lot of people who were involved in the production of Virginia Woolf were nervous about the subject matter about the language. Were you nervous . I would hope so. Reporter you wanted them to be nervous. No. I mean, i knew the play was a little. Going to be a little troubling to some people. But i write what the play needs. Reporter if that means it offends some people. Well, i think if you dont offend some people, youre probably failing in some way. Reporter if you think hes kidding, just watch as he talks about the award that got away. Speaking of offending people, of course the pulitzer jury chose Virginia Woolf for the pulitzer in 62. I thought that was a fairly reasonable choice. Reporter and then the board said no, no, no, were not awarding it to him. What did you make of that . I realized fairly quickly that i was going to get much more publicity out of having the Columbia University board turning down Virginia Woolf than i would have gotten just for getting it. Reporter albee went on to win three Pulitzer Prizes for drama. For a delicate balance just four years later in 1967. Sea scape in 1975 and three tall women in 1994. When people ask you how many do you have, i say threeandahalf. Reporter laughing the half being the one that almost was. It was but Columbia University drudges took it away from me. Reporter edward albee was adopted as a baby in washington d. C. By read and frances albee. The albees were hares to a vaudeville theater chain. Young edward grew up rich financially at least. I didnt like them very much. I dont think they approved of me very much either. They were stuck with me. I was stuck with them. Until i was 18. But they gave me a first rate private school education. Reporter youre grateful for that. Yeah. I guess im enormously grateful that i was adopted. I just dont think we were the right people with each other. Reporter you cut off contact for them for a while. As soon as i legally could when i was 18 i left and gave up all the creature comforts. Reporter it was 1948. Albee came here Greenwich Village new york a place where he could thrive as an artist and as a person who is openly gay. Why would i keep it a secret . Its my nature. Reporter did you run up against any barriers because of that . Are you kidding . Of course. Reporter so thats why you might want to hide it. Yes. Im not embarrassed by it. Im not ashamed of it. Why should i go along with people who are idiotic. Reporter his relationship with his parents was one he struggled to understand. Did you try to reconcile . Not with my adoptive father. He died before i could. And my mother adoptive mother started growing old so i was a dutiful son. But i dont think we ever really related to each other. Reporter it seems she was quite proud of you. She was quite proud of edward albee. Reporter edward albee not you . Edward albee the well known play rieght. She liked that a lot. Reporter while albee didnt find parental love he did find romantic love with sculptor ron thomas. Thomas died of cancer in 2005. The longest relationship i had, 30, 35 years. Reporter and you said the love of your life. A really good guy. Reporter albee had his own brush with mortality last summer when his doctor posed a question. Do you want to have open heart surgery or not . And i said if i dont . He said you will die. It occurred to me either its going to work and ill be an awful lot better and then i can go on or its not going and i wont know. Really there was no choice there. Is there . Reporter for now at least he walks slowly and with a cane. Hes 84 and back to what he loves. Are you in the middle of writing a play right now . Three quarters of the way finished. Do you want to know the title. Sn reporter sure. Laying an egg. Reporter edward albee says its his plays that are important not the playwright but as the world continues its appreciation not only of his writing but of how his plays are performed, he cant help but realize how important edward albee the man remains. Are you optimistic . Am i optimistic about what . Being alive . Ive always been optimistic about being alive. Reporter about the future. I prefer yes to no. I prefer being alive to being dead. I prefer all those things, yes. Osgood ahead shelbys family flock. Osgood on the road outside denver, Steve Hartman has found an enterprising young girl paying some of the family bills with egg money. Reporter on this clear colorado morning the sunshines kindly on 13yearold shelby. It admires her red hair and warms her way to school. A professional courtesy perhaps. For this fellow ray of light has seen her share of dark times. Sad. Really sad. Reporter a few years ago shelbys mother nancy was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. M. S. Isnt a death sentence but in nancys case for a while it might as well have been. She couldnt walk. She couldnt get up. She couldnt feed herself. Reporter that bad . Yeah, pretty much dead on the couch. She ended up in a nursing home. Man, it was tough. Reporter shelbys dad john michael works at a Water Treatment plant outside denver. Her mom was a pharmacist. They made pretty good money but the nursing home bills alone were bankrupting the couple. Shelby, of course, was told none of this. But knew all of it. Because i could see how sad he was. I decided to help him. I said, well, okay. See what you can do. I just never thought shed take it to this level. Reporter what shelby did was basically start farming at the age of nine. She got a loan from her grandmother and bought chickens, lots of chickens. I have 135. Reporter never mind she didnt come from a farming family. Never mind the 50pound feed bags.

It was like a part of my childhood and my rebellion and everything i went through to wear long hair. Reporter born Michael Bolotin in new haven connecticut in 1953, his rebellion was pretty dramatic. After his parents difficult divorce, he lost himself in music. He dropped out. Literally. At the age of 14. He didnt go to high school. Instead he hitchhiked to california with a band.

Reporter a lot of folks were shocked from the french drama amour won an Academy Award nomination for best picture. Emmanuel riva, for best actress and michael hanniky for best director. The film maker beating highprofile americans like ben affleck, catherine big low and clinton tarantino. I was gob smacked myself. Amoour is a hell of a movie but the academy doesnt often nominate Foreign Language films for the top prize especially when theyre bleak arty, glaicially paced profoundly hopeless. I could go on. So what is the deal with this one . Well, its twoplus grueling hours of an 80something woman dying very slowly. And an 80something man looking on helplessly. Riva plays the woman a retired music teacher. And her band. Theyre proud. Self sufficient, the embodiment of western european upper middle class refinement. In a paris apartment thats a bastion of culture. A refuge. Until it becomes a prison. The light growing colder as the woman loses one precious faculty after another. Reporter loss of movement.

Hed love these names. He lives to infuriate bourgeois types like me. But in amour he has a real world antagonist even crueler and more brutal than he is time. Nearly. Merely pointing his camera at these two elderly people and not blinking, not turning away as something happens to them that happens to people we know and will happen to us too. Scenes like a higher form of compassion. The october general theyrian demographic is not well represented on screen. Probably the 80 something year olds in the academy made a statement with their votes. But amower transcends age. What passes between these two great actors.

On friday star bucks gets ready to open its first coffee shop in vietnam. Saturday is ground hog day. Well all learn from Punxsutawney Phil if were in for six more weeks of winter. Is the u. S. Constitution truly worthy of the reverence in which most americans hold it . A few on that from Lewis Michael sideman professor of constitutional law at georgetown university. Ive got a simple idea. Lets give up on the constitution. I know. It sounds radical but its really not. Constitutional disobedience is as american as apple pie. For example most of our greatest president s jefferson, Lincoln Wilson and both roosevelts had doubts about the constitution. Many of them disobeyed it when it got in their way. To be clear, i dont think we should give up on everything in the constitution. The constitution has many important and inspiring provisions but we should obey these because they are important and inspiring not because a bunch of people who are now long dead favored them two centuries ago. Unfortunately, the constitution also contains some provisions that are not so inspiring. For example one allows a president ial candidate who is rejected by a majority of the American People to assume office. Suppose that barack obama really wasnt a naturalborn citizen . So what . Constitutional obedience has a pernicious impact on our political culture. Take the recent debate about gun control. None of my friends can believe it but i happen to be skeptical of most forms of gun control. I understand though thats not everyones view. And im eager to talk with people who disagree. But what happens when the issue gets constitutionalized . Then we turn the question over to lawyers. And lawyers do with it what lawyers do. So instead of talking about whether gun control makes sense in our country we talk about what people thought of it two centuries ago. Worse yet talking about gun control in terms of constitutional obligation needlessly raises the temperature of political discussion. Instead of a question of a policy about which reasonable people can disagree it becomes a test of ones commitment to our foundational document and so to america itself. This is our country. We live in it. And we have a right to the kind of country we want. We would not allow the french or the United Nations to rule us. And neither should we allow people who died over two centuries ago and knew nothing of our country as it exists today. If we are to take back our own country, we have to start making decisions for ourselves. And stop deavering to an ancient and outdated document. Osgood opinion from professor Lewis Michael sideman.
