Charles early versions of these navigational instruments helped explorers find their way during the age of discovery. Christopher columbus is the one we remember, but others set sail into Uncharted Waters back then, many from a small sea faring country. That speck is american surfer garrett mcnamara, unbelievable, astonishing, pick your adjective for it is monster wave he rode in january off the portuguese coast near the town of nazareth. The lighthouse sits at the top of a 200 foot cliff. Everybody wants to come exactly. Because nobody knew that this was here in nazareth. Reporter in 2005, a physical Education Teacher sent mcnamara this photograph to lure him to the small fishing village with its large waves. Its so big that for us to see the height of it, we have to look you say explosion, does it feel like a real explosion . Exactly. Everything. And this is all white water. Reporter the portuguese explorer vasco pagamo came here too, to play, before he set out in 1497, and again after a successful return from his voyage to fine a sea route to india with its rich spice trade. He did what Christopher Columbus tried to do, but failed. I think because we are a country our tied to the land, and we are always looking. We have that kind of people to see what is after them. Reporter even if its frightening . Yeah. Portugal is a country where the sea is and always has been regarded as a living being to, be stared down and confronted. The song laments the price paid. Portugals greatest heroes are its explorers and their patrons during the age of discovery. In lisbon, portugals capital, theres a 51 ument to them. Pagama, magellan, prince henry the mavigator, all the names you memorized in grade school and immediately porgot. Their daring portugal, smaller than indinthe first global sea power, and very rich. How it happen side a story about ino vague which will begin in sagresch, the cragy and Southwest Corner of europe. Romans, greeks and other civilizations believe this is the point where the world finished. This is the end of the world . Thats the idea. They give you a picture very interesting. They believed that it was inside the sea, and reporter but the port geedportuguese thought otherwis. Prince henry surrounded himself in map makers, astronomers, and navigator, and amassing knowledge. The 15th century of r d, like a venture capitalist. He financed expeditions intended to push the boundaries of the known world, for profit, and to spread christianity. The idea was to take to other cultures, to take to other people and other lands the christian. Reporter so christianity and exploration were always tied together . Always. Prince henry died in 1460, but by then the portuguese explorers have inched along the coast of africa. In 1488, Bartholomew Dion made it around cape hope, and 16 years later reached india. Two years after that in 1500, Pedro Alvarez cabral discovered brazil, and on it went, each explorer armed with knowledge provided by the last.

And the portuguese had the best and most up to dateinarigation tools, which helped to plot locations by measuring the altitude of the sun and stars. This is the first representation of brazilian territory in topography. It was drawn in 1502. Portugal had the equivalent of todays software, accurate maps. Others prohibited maps showing portugal navigation outside of portugal. It was top secret. Reporter so maps were portugals secret . Maps were power, because knowledge is power. Reporter portugal monopolized world commerce, but only as long as it manageed to keep knowledge out of the hands of competitors. Ferdinand magellan commanded the exhibition that made it around the world. He was portuguese, sailing for the spanish. Foretelling the inevitable end of portugals golden age. But it was awfully good while it lasted. Manuel, who outlawed the sale of maps began in 1502 building this. Its an extravagant shrine to portugals discovery, and to its hero. Taskama, embodied the century of takings on the sea is buried here.

Reporter number 4, bobby orr is 65 now and long retired. And the famous superstar decided the time has come to tell his story. In reading your book, the word that comes up over and over again when you talk about hockey and your life in general is passion. The love is passion i had for the game, i never had that taken out of me by my parents or coach. Reporter he fell in love with the game when he was a boy playing bond hockey in ontario in his native canada. Playing with my buddies whether it was on the bay or the river or the school rink. Wed skate, and parents would say be home by dark. His parents kept him grounded. People would come up to my father and say your kid is going to be a pro. The advice he gave me was, have fun and see waps. Reporter it was a simpler time. When orr was 14 he was signed to play on the Boston Bruins farm team. His signing bonus. A whopping 1,000, plus they stuccoed my mothers house. My father could get a car. That was in 62, the car couldnt be newer than a 56. So he had a 56 chevrolet, and i got a suit. I forgot about the suit. Reporter at 18, bobby orr brought his fearless freewheeling style to the nhl. Score what a play by bobby orr. Reporter nobody in boston or anywhere else had seen anything like it before. The defense man who was a former offensive threat. He seemed unstoppable. Capable of rushing the length of the ice with the puck on his stick. Going in. Goal reporter you wouldnt give up the puck. Now, did anyone ever accuse of of being a puck hog . No. No. I would eventually give it up. Come on. Calling me a puck hog. Im out of here. Ill walk out. Reporter came on ice, and no one was more agile or faster than bobby orr. And probably no one more modest. Reporter how cool was it that the boston globe columnist called you muriel im an awful dancer. Scores reporter poong his many achievement, it was a defense man who twice led the league in scoring. There were few records that orr didnt break. Announcer and theyre standing for bobby orr. Reporter an understatement is an understatement about that famous championship winning goal, for example. You write in your took that on may 10, 1970, i scored a goal there. It was it was an exciting goal. Reporter it took convincing to get him to revisit that moment cast in bronze in boston. You celebrate goals in a silly way. I guess i did there. It was for the championship. I couldnt help t it. Reporter but bobby orr would play only eight full seasons in the nhl. Im disappointed. Reporter bad knees forced him to hang up the skates in 1968, he was just 30 years old. Im no longer able to play. Its a very difficult time. I played hockey from the time i was knee high to a grasshopper. I never looked at at another job. Now i have to go to work. Work. Reporter and to make matters worse, in spite of signing the first Million Dollar hockey contract, he was nearly broke. His agent, Alan Eagleson embezzled most of his fortune. Eagleson brought to court by other former clients later went to jail for his crimes. I just wanted to get away from the man, the person. Reporter and you said, i justed to get away from the man, and then you corrected yourself and said person. Correct. Hes not a man. Reporter these days bobby orr runs a successful hockey management company, what he really doesnt like talking about. Despite best efforts, more and more people are finding out about the innumerable acts of charity you performed really from the beginning of your career. You do not like talking about them . People follow sports because it makes someone smile. Its something that i its my responsibility. I should do that. I do it quite a bit. Reporter youre doing very well. Look at you. Orr is a charitable man. I needed all the compassion he could offer when we got on the ice together. Youre a puck hog. You were talking about me being a puck hog. He wont give it up. On the ice, nobody is happier than bobby orr, showing kids how to have fun which is what hockey has always been about. Youre being paid to play a game. We know these pictures. The story of the man who took them just ahead. Charles in the 15 years 50 years that passed since the assassination of john f. Kennedy only one shows the shooting from start to finish. And look at it frame by frame. Fair warning, the film has lost none of its power to shot. With his bell and howell 8 millimetre camera, abraham loves taking pictures of his family. And the home movies we have are like everybody elses home movies. Reporter except one. The film that is pruder shot on november 22nd, 1963 of president kennedy in dallas. Only 26 seconds long, theres a pruder film of kennedys assassination is the most famous movie in history. How due feel about that film . I think he hated the film. He wished he had never taken it. It was really devastating for him. Alexandra pruder. This is my grandfather. He was a great guy. He was funny. He was incredibly bright. He came to this country at the age of 15 and liveed in grinding poverty and antisemitism. Mr. Pruder settleed in dallas and started a clothing business. This is your grandfathers company . Yes. Their office wass coo the street from the texas depository at daly plas a. D our family, they were real kennedy people. My grandfather loved kennedy. Pruder first thought about filming the motorcade from the office window, but instead, went down to theviated to and stood here. Thats him on the hat. He took test shots of friends and then started his cam raera. My i have your name . Abraham. He was just another eye witness when a distracted anchor on wfaa interviewed him later on that day before the film had been developed. And the feelings of the world. There had been other cameras in daly plaza, but no one got it from begining to end. Dick stally in dallas for life magazine learned that a businessman had caught the assassination on film. And i said god almighty, whats his name. They said zapruder. Found him in the dallas phonebook. We were in a small room with a crickety old 8 millimeter projector, and the frame was only about that big. Reporter they saw the president waving as they drive along the street. The only time he loses it is when the motorcade goes behind that big highway sign. Thats when the first bullet hits the president. He has his hands under his throat when he emerges. When the film reached frame 313, the moment the bullet strikes the president s head, they all gasp. He was looking back. The single most dramatic moment of my career. Reporter what does the secret service do. They thanked pruder and left. Lee Harvey Oswald had already been arrested. The films importance wasnt known yet. Zapruder wanted to be rid he said it was a nightmare. There was a guy at times square banging, hey, folks come on and see the president killed on the big screen. And zapruder said i woke up and i shuddered. Life magazine would buy all rights to the film for 150,000. In the next issue, life published selected frames, and in a new book, the day kennedy died prints all 486. But life never allowed the film to be broadcast. In 1975, the magazine sold it back to the zapruders for 1. Did your grandfather keep taking home movies after that . No. After that tragedy, somehow i lost i know what you call it. Appetite or desire. To take pictures. Abraham zapruder died of cancer in 1970. His camera now on display at the museum in washington is the property of the national archives, as is his film. The government bought it from the family in 1999 for 16 million, half a century later, those 26 seconds of celluloid have not lost any of their power. How many times have you watched that film . Oh, god. A hundred. And every time it gets to frame 313 ,,,,,,, except for the man, found just outside tyler, texas, theres a single story house with a story and a half. 48yearold Thomas Graham is building this house pretty much by himself, and although that alone is not remarkable, just imagine trying to put up a three bedroom, two bedroom ranch without any blueprints, and doing it in total darkness. Looks good. Thomas started dreaming of this shortly after he went blind at the age of 18. He had some friends help them with the roof and the wiring. This is my braille yardstick. All of this in five months and still 10 fingers. An accomplishment so unbelievable, a lot of his neighbors dont believe. People doubt that youre blind . They do. I tell them, let me drive your car then. Oh, i believe you, buddy. Keep feeling. For the record, he is totally blind. He hammers ohm the point. Before the wall was up, i almost fell off the front of the house. Its hard to make it look like you meant to do that. Thomas has a great sense of humor. I bounce right back up. Theres also a dark corn tore this house. The building is a rech ca of the house he grew up in and his wife suspects theres a reason for that. Yvonne thinks part of it is thomas reclaiming his childhood. Thats a lot theres healing going on there. And it helps. Reporter a as a teenager i made bad choices. The worst choice was agreing to go with his dad on a burglary attempt. His dad shot ask killed a cop, and then got killed himself, and thomas got a face full of shotgun pellets. He lost his freedom. And after serving six years in prison, thomas decided one day he would build his childhood home. For his part, thomas doesnt care about the reasons behind the project. All he cares about is getting it done before winter. If he can inspire others along the way, all the better. I truly hope there are people who think that they cant, and then say they k k. C. Coming up. Listen to the dribbling, since i was a farmer. Charles ian mckellen and Patrick Stewart. ,,,,,, can the war is coming, and i intend to fight it. I will always be there old friend. Announcer its sunday morning on cbs, and here again is charles osgood. Charles sir ian mckellen and Patrick Stewart, fierce rivals in the film, x men. Now the two are rehearsing for a double header of a theatrical run on broadway while making time to talk with lesley stahl of 60 minutes. Reporter its rare, if not unprecedented that two of the worlds freightest stage actors around the world. Quite well. Reporter star together on broadway in not one, but two classic plays. Waiting for gudle, and no mans land. I have to say reporter theyre known as the sirs. Ian mckellen, going strong at 74. Never quite sure of the place reporter the same for Patrick Stewart at 73. This is outrageous who are you . And you . I was in the military intelligence. Reporter this is a rehearsal for no mans land by harold pinter. This is a very famous and what do i say . Are you afraid of losing one of your precious x men . Oh, friend. Reporter who knew that these two enemys in the x men movies, professor x, and magnito are in real life such close friends. And professor x asked magnito to marry him. I didnt marry him as a partner, i was the minister. You officiated . Yes. He married ian mckellen and his 35yearold it was my wife, the dear. How long have you been married . Three weeks. Im on your honeymoon, for goodness sakes. Indeed. The two sirs, both knighted by Queen Elizabeth met in the 1970s in the Royal Shakespeare company where mckellen was already playing the great parts. Stewart who worshipped him found him to be intimidating. In glimpses of him, a certain aloofness or austerity about him, i know you see the charming smiling man now is unbelievable. Hes softer and mellowed. I think ive become more modest as the years go on. Oh, god. I think you made him guilty. I need a strong drink. Thats overacting. They do that in yorkshire. Reporter normally people in yorkshire, like stewart, and and lancashire arent supposeed to get along, but they bonded on the set of x men. I came to bring jean home. Just like old times . With that kind of movie you tend to spend more time in the trailer than actually on the set. And we had very comfortable trailers, and we hung out. You schmoozed . It was great fun. Patrick and i have had very similar careers, really. They worked their way on stage in england from sthaik near to checkoff. I had an imagination, joy. Reporter and then later on life on television and movies where they both gained worldwide recognition. What we leave behind is not as important as how weve lived. Were only mortal. Stewart in his late 40s when he played captain picard for seven seasons in star trek, the next generation. Mckellen was in his 60s when he took on the roll of the wizard gandofl. Both men used acting to escape personal troubles. Mckellen his the being gay am a secret for years coming out inadvertently on a radio show. Once he did, he said he grew as an actor. It was only when i came out that i cried on stage. It was a secret that i had been keeping. Suddenly, everything flowed. I was a real person. Reporter as a young boy, stewart tried to keep his abusive father from beating up his mother. He too turned to acting as an escape. Listen to his answer when i asked him why he wanted to play upon captain picard . I was simply channeling my father who was a professional soldier. Reporter you had conflict with your father. Youve been open about this . Yes. Reporter he was abusing hur mother . Yes, and i hated him for that. But i also wanted to adore him too. I know that a lot of what i did early in my career, and still possibly what i do now is somehow, in some way to please him. False face hides a false heart. Reporter he may have made career choices to please his father, but stewart felt no obligation to please sir ian when to came to choosing. I was one of i dont know how many who advised to not do star trek. We bumped into each other in los angeles, and he said this opportunity was his, and know whag his career had been so far, i thought it was a very dangerous corn tore turn. Corner to turn. But here we are. The most important thing is reporter and where they are is rehearsing for two plays. No mans land, and samuel becketts, waiting f godo which they starred in in 1999. Sir ian loveed it so much he pushed to do it on broadway. He said after he did it with you, he wept, and it was over. I recall vividly, its on film, and i had no idea, but the curtain came down, and he went into the wings and sat on some stone steps. I think a lot had seen it before. What they knew was the last time. The final performance was captured in a documentary called theatre rant. I think you hear my crying because i go into another room. The saying that my recollection sitting on the steps with your head in your hand is not accurate. Thats the nature of your memory and mine. I dont know. It could be a moment out of either one of our both gado and no mans land explore aging and friendship which apply to the two plays and the two sirps were the same actors, and have had the same career too. You feel that way too . Yes. Were peers. Were equals, not rivals. Charles ahead, portrait of times past. And feel better about doing it. Better it with benefiber. Charles the 100th anniversary of vanity fair. Published in late 1913. It became simply vanity fair the next year. Photography from the beginning was an essential element of what vanity fair was. Charles david carter, the current editor of vanity fair has a new book. A lot of the portraits are the iconic artist or businessman or writer. Charles among the early images from the decades, actress greta she shows up, and shes complaining about the terrible hair she has that day, and pushes it back. He says hold it and takes the picture. And thats the iconic picture of greta garbo. Charles vanity fair flourished during the jazz age of the 20s, but lost relevance during the repression. And then vogue in 1936, and after nearly 50 years as a footnote, the magazine was reborn in 1983. It was a perfect time. The beginning of what i call the age of money. People with the money were more showing with the money, which sent great for society, but great for journalists. It gives them something to write about. And to take pictures of. It was wonderful. A new generation of photographers created poerlt rats of power locations, power brokers, movie stars and celebrities of all sorts clothing optional. Thats an important part of getting pag seens off the shelf and into your living room. And beautiful people, and pleasing on the coffee table over a 30 day period than not so beautiful people. Charles and not that its all glamour and gloss. Carter takes pride in vanity fairs revelation and water gate, and deep throat, and the coverage of 9 11, the war in afghanistan, and the financial meltdown. I expect to be around a hundred years in a slightly different foefrm. Maybe electronic. But tell be around. As long as people like stories, story telling magazines like vanity fair will be around. Charles next. Role model. Charles say hello to millenia, the interactive robot. Good morning, charles. Charles good morning, millenia. A series coming up on pbs, making stuff faster, wilder, colder, safer. Showing how robot designs are second nature. High Technology Just keeps getting higher and higher. And the robot semblance has to get fancier and fancier. This bosch factory in germany makes a fuel injector for diesel engines, the designer of this Manufacturing Center shows me how its done with robots. How big can the object grinded in there. Wait a minute. This big machine for that tiny part. The same quality. And cant get humans to do that job . Its not possible with a human. You need this automatic machine. Reporter i couldnt help noticing that all of these robots are inside glass cages. Its protection of the workers. Its very fast. If this robot hit you, it would hurt. A german law, and by the laws of common sense, these robots have to be kept away from people. At bosch, all the humans work in another wing of the plant. Trying to build robot that is are a little more sensitive to their human coworkers. Ifrmentd we solve the problem. What you see is the black cover. And all around the robot. And if this field is disturbed, for example, by a human being coming too close to t the robot can detect it and stop. So this i just did it. It just stopped because i was too close . Yes, because if it touched you, it would be uncomfortable. For me, anyway. A lot of people think of robots as futuristic and frightening with minds of their own that can turn on us. In the end, theyre just machines, stupid programmable tools. Hey. Reporter in search of a better robot solution, he met me of at all place, the zoo. This is a paradise. Reporter he works for one of the Worlds Largest robotic companies, and parts of your smart phone and car were built by festos industrial robots. Sir, im nlts hungry. Hello, there. Would you thats hot air. This is stella, a 46yearold elephant at the zoo in stuttgart. Thats wild. An elephants trunk contains 40,000 muscles and no bones. Its an incredible multitool. Its a weapon and a vacuum cleaner. Can you do my rug, its dusty. What is it about the Elephant Trunk that would be useful as a machine . As you can see, its so flexible and transmits a lot of force and makes it much more easy to handle things. Reporter festos stole the trunk idea to make a soft robot made of plastic and air. The idea that this is a safer robot. This robot is not dangerous and will support people during the working process. Reporter ideas from nature is called biomimickry, and festos has a long history of it. From fish, they modeled this after a fishs tail. This is like a you can use it, and you see what happens. I would say if you push this way, it would go that way. Instead it goes into your finger. Exactly. Why does that make it a good gripper. Like apples, vegetables, we can handle these, and the package lines without damaging the surface, because the shape is always changing. Pitted the gripper against a robot gripper. Same pressure. Everything is equal. Reporter so you have robot 0, fish tail one. You have stolen from nature and did a great job. You put it all together, and you get this soft robot. This is the ultimate with Elephant Trunk technology and the fish tail technology. Exactly. Biomimickry nowadays is part of the design process. Everybody is using this. Cross thinking inspired by nature, and to transform these ideas into industrial applications. May i . Thank you. Were only just starting to tap biomimickrys potential. For example, the shape of the yellow box fish provides like this mercedes concept car, and clearly, thats just the beginning. The nice thing about taking ideas from nature is you never have to pay royalties. Right. Charles heres a look at the week ahead on our sunday morning calendar.
