Bouncing back from a personal crisis is a job for the individual, an internal process science is learning more about all the time. Our cover story is reported by Susan Spencer of 48 hours. Reporter mickey glen is as delighted as anyone to see a perfect rainbow over the water. But unlike most of us, she is just as dlietioned to see sharks under the waves. They are powerful and graceful, i mean they are beautiful, beautiful animals. Which is why glen and her husband, both expert divers went on a caribbean scuba expedition 11 years ago, photographing sharks. And i would just slowly cruise around, it is almost like watching horses. And some were almost as big. On day 5, this sevenfoot female got uncomfortably close. Her eye was just maybe eight inches from my eye and she just hung there vertically in the water. Reporter then she struck. And she had a whole right upper body in her mouth, so when she whipped back and forth, my forehead would slam in the water and the back of my head would slam the water. Reporter when the shark suddenly let go she took a chunk of glens arm and shoulder with her. I could see blood everywhere. Unbelievable that you survived. It is. It really is. I mean, that samir cal in itself. Reporter second miracle, six surgeries and a few weeks later, she was back at work. She had no use of her right hand, was haunted by flash blacks, but determined to resume normal life, on the farm, and, yes, even back in the water. Reporter do you consider yourself extraordinarily resilient . I do now. I am proud of the way i handle things. Most of us come nose to nose with sharks only in the safety of an aquarium which is probably a good thing, but bad things happen on dry land as well and people bounce back from trauma all the time. Which raises that age old question, what about me . Faced with a real crisis how resilient would i be . You can train yourself to be more resilient. Okay. What do i do . 20 years ago, psychiatrist dennis chaney, now dean of the sinai medical school. Was studying soldiers and posttraumatic stress and became fascinated with the resilience of those who didnt have it. We came up with a series of factors that seemed to be prevalent in all different populations of people and all different kind of trauma. He says in disasters like 9 11 or hurricane sandy, people are more likely to weather the storm when they have Strong Social support, a strong community, and if there isnt one, real survivors will make their own, especially true, he found, among former pows. Many of them were in solitary confinement for years and they werent allowed to talk, so they developed a way of communicating by tapping on the wall and the analogy is, that Everybody Needs a tap code. A way of developing a support system, a, communicating with other people that are going to help them get through tough times. Even in the toughest times, resilient powss shared something else, unshakable optimism. One of the pows told us we knew we were 8,000 miles away and nobody was going to come get us and we were being held by an enemy, but together, we felt we were going to prevail. Reporter i have been here since 1985 mickey glen certainly can relate to that. If somebody says to you, good lord, mickey how did you come back from this . What do you tell them . I just stumbled upon positive at this and how strong it is, that is a large part of it. How important is the role of optimism in your ability to persevere . It was the most important aspect of my survival. Reporter like mickey glen she beat long odds by staying hopeful, but unlike glen, her trauma was decades long. My mother was mentally ill and self medicated with drugs and alcohol and ended up having with five different men. But focused her rage on her middle child, something you would hardly guess from reginas brave little smile in one of her few childhood photos. She would pick up my body and throw it into a wall and lift up the back of my hair and bang my head into the ground and while i was down as this child she would be kicking me in the ribs and kicking me in the back. School was a safe haven, but as she writes in her recent memoir she recent, was often homeless and couldnt go. How did you survive . How did you feel yourself . We stole food to eat, i was drinking vinegar to survive. Drinking vinegar . I figured out it suppressed my appetite and i would be less hungry with it. By eight she realized her situation was neither her fault nor hopeless. By 14, she had won legal and, emancipation from her mother. She went on to college, then law school, today, she is a top aide to the governor of new york. Reporter do you consider yourself a resilient person . Yes. If i am knocked down, i get up very quickly and just move forward and i always have. Reporter do you think you are unusual . Do you think i am unusual . Reporter not at all. Probably would be George Benanos answer to that, a professor of psychology at Teachers College his studies show people are a lot more resilient than they think. We just did a study on spinal cord injury and resilience was over 50 percent. Reporter thats right. More than half the people he interviewed in the hospital showed no signs of depression or anxiety. Another study of Trauma Centers had equally impressive results. People who are minding their own business suddenly were injured in a single incident trauma, bells and whistles and ambulances and required emergency surgery, very scary stuff and the resilient people would have been more than half of the people. About 60 percent in that study, yes. All of these years later, mickey glen and regina look back at their experiences almost philosophically. Do you get annoyed at people when they get all upset about lifes little issues and absolutely. I do, i do. And i actually think that it is good that they get upset about the small things, because then they didnt experience such pain and suffering. If you could magically erase this whole thing from your life, would you do it . No. I have learned so much through it, i learned that you are who you are on the inside and it doesnt matter how scarred you are on the outside, i mean, those are life lessons that most people dont get to learn. Osgood we are headed north of the border next. Osgood and now a page from our sunday morning almanac, october 20th, 1818, 195 years ago today. The United States and britain signed a treaty establishing the 49th parallel as the border between canada and the western United States from northern minnesota to the base of the stony mountains as they were then called. Later agreements extended the 49degree line west to the pacific, but maintaining those 49 degrees hadnt been exactly straightforward, for one thing, early surveyors working without the benefit of gps, mistakenly marked out a boundary that sition and sation as much as 175 feet north and 784 feet south of where it is supposed to be and also because of a misunderstanding, an isolated patch of land along the lake of the woods called the northwest angle wound up in the u. S. Despite being north of the 49th parallel, though the two countries adjusted the border so that all of Vancouver Island was in can they overlooked nearby Point Roberts, which sticks slightly south of the 49degree line. As a result, Point Roberts was an american outpost cut off from the rest of the usa, it is roughly 1,000 residents had to cross the border every time they go in and out of their own hometown. Just under 4,000 miles from maine to washington and another 1,500 miles, here to include alaska the u. S. Canadian boundary is often celebrated as the worlds longest undefended border between two nations though there have been some changes in the post 9 11 world. You now need either a passport, a passport card or socalled enhanced drivers license or id card to cross causing delays and aggravation for some. And seemingly deserted woods and fields are now monitored by infrared cameras and motion detectors. Even sew it is still one of the least intimidating borders in the whole world. Ahead, we journey into the world of magritte. This portion of sunday morning is sponsored by hp. Its time to build a better enterprise. Osgood when magritte is the signature on a painting chances are it is a mindbending picture demanding a closer look. Ours comes from reporter when is a kiss not exactly a kiss . A landscape more than just a landscape . Or a portrait something, well, surreal . In the world of belgian painter rene magritte, nothing is what it seems. Magritte is all about making pictures that make you think about pictures. He is the artist who looks at ordinary objects but in these extraordinary ways. Reporter like a fireplace with a locomotive dashing out under full steam, or this portrait of a manmade of a bird cage. This picture epitomizes sort of the way magritte creates very clear pictures and the longer you look the more you realize their meaning is absolutely unclear. Reporter and, anne is the curator of the mystery of the order, an exhibition at the museum of modern museum in new york that focuses on the evolution of magrittes work from 1926 to 1938. It is a time when he makes quantitatively and conceptually more work in more modes, more variety than he ever has before. It is a period when magritte becomes magritte. Rene magritte was born in lecene a small town in bell uh yum, in 19. His father was a textile merchant and when a magritte was 13 his mother committed suicide. I think what was probably even more impactful on him than the event of the death itself is that he would remain, when he was a young boy, locked in a room with this depressed woman. Honestly, if you wished to read back into the work, look at the type of spaces magritte is depicting and think about how clause voluntary to bic they are. Klaus to bic they are. In 1926. Magritte joined andre, Salvador Dali and other artists in paris and became known as the surrealist creating unsuspected often dream like imagery. You both have a self image of magritte practicing his craft, at the say time, same time you have an image of his conceptual process because when you look of course he is staring at an egg but what is he painting . He is painting a bird. Challenging the viewers perception of reality would become magrittes hallmark. He was something of a paradox, while his works defied convention, there was nothing of the artistic bohemian ab him. He often painted in a suit and was married to the same woman georgette for 45 years. Magritte lived a secluded life and he died in 1967, but his whimsical, playful, mindbending images had already been embraced by popular culture. His apple was the inspiration for the beatles apple record logo and rockout covers mimicked his design. And how about this eye . Looks familiar . When someone asked him what he thought about cbs appropriating his painting, the false mirror of the eye filled with sky, the famous eye was based on his painting. On his painting. And he sort of felt indifferent about it because cbs ended up with was just a symbol on a background that was aiming to start something or brand something where his painting had no purpose other than poetry. Billionaire and avid collector wilbur ross understands that poetry, he owns 25 magrittes. Even andy warhol had a magritte and i think you can argue that pop art couldnt have occurred while magritte, freeing magritte whoever would have painted a soup can. Are you the largest private collector of magritte . I dont know, probably the most active one right now. Right. It is when you get obsessed you get obsessed. Two of rosss paintings are on loan to the exhibition, which is the first solo magritte show in new york city in more than 20 years. What do you want people to feel and be left with after the show . I would like them to understand what a great modern artist magritte is. He is always saying a picture is just a picture, an image is not the same as the thing itself. In other words, look and think, because in the world of rene magritte, everything is open to interpretation. Osgood coming up i thinker. Osgood geist is seeing red, but first. Pepper jack cheese, mushrooms, jalapenos, bacon, tomato and avocado. I call it, the avocado da vinci. Create your omlart with dennys build your own omelette menu. Supercalifragilisticexpialidosis s . It is something quite atrocious. It is sunday morning on cbs, and here again is charles osgood. Osgood that is Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews singing supercalifragilisticexpialidosis s . From the 1964 movie mary poppins. It stands to reason the writers behind that very long song titles would have a long series of hits, songs that struck a cord with our nancy giles. It is a song world after all. Their songs are sung the world over, so infectious, so unforgettable and so ubiquitous that, well, sometimes they can be down right annoying. It is a small, small world. Now you say people want to can kiss you or kill you. Oh, sure. They call it an earworm, you cant get it out of your ear. It just crawls in there and stays. Oh a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down. These and hundreds more are the creations of brothers richard and Robert Sherman one of the most prolific song writing duos of alltime. Chitty chitty bang bang. Willie the poo. Willie, silly old bear. You have been reported as saying he wrote the words and music, you wrote the music and words. Thats a good way to say it, we sat in the room together and stirred up, stirred up the pot. You came up with something and him coming up with something better. A frenzied pingpong game. Growing up, older Brother Robert aspired to write novels, richard, symphonies. One day their song writing father gave them a challenge. I bet you couldnt team up together and write a song that some kid would give up his lunch money to buy a record of it. I dont think you have enough brains to do that and he turned around and left. Was he serious or pulling your leg . Dead serious. Wow this was the result. Tall paul, their first hit sung by former disney mouse question score annette. It wasnt long before walt disney himself took note, and thus began a big bright beautiful collaboration. Just a dream away. As songwriters dick and bob sherman of the walt disney studio. Is that a little scary thing, seven dwarfs looking down at you. No, they are friendly, my goodness without those guys i wouldnt be here. True. And there he is. Richard smer man is 85 now, as up beat and vibrant as the songs he and his brother composed. Robert was 86 when he died in 2012. In the early sixties, the brothers occupied adjacent offices on the disney lot, right down the hall from walt. They called you the boys . He gave us the name the boys. He didnt like formality and he hated being called mr. Disney he liked being called walt, he liked that very much. For Richard Sherman the memories of those early days are sweet. Especially one night in 1965, when the brothers took home two oscars for mary poppins. A wonderful, wonderful night, it was a great, great experience, one for the song and one for the score. Also in richards den, a slew of grammys and enough gold and platinum records to build, fill two walls. Plus oh, look. There is more since they were writing, many of the sherman scores have taken on a life of their own on stage. I will become a man, man cub and these days, the jungle book is breaking Box Office Records at the Huntington Theatre in boston. Richard sherman, enthusiastically embraces all of it. And i cant get down the bottom r i am a happy guy, everything was great and wonderful, this is the best of all possible words are worlds. Bob was more serious minded. And if there was a song that would express you and your personality and your brother and his personality let me see. With me it would be supercalifragilisticexpialidosis s . And he would be more feed the birds. Yes. He loved that song. Feed the birds. Mary poppins was the first movie i ever saw, i think i was three and a half. We got this album, although our copy in the guiles family had lots of spaghetti stains. And little fingerprints on every part of it and now it is the subject of this new movie saving mr. Bang. Absolutely, it is how this came amount. The story of the making of mary poppins will open in december with tom hanks as walt disney. You cant imagine how excited i am to finally meet you. My name is mrs. Travers, mr. Disney. Walt, you have to call me walt. And Emma Thompson is pl travers. The rethrough receive writer who wants no part of walt disneys wonderful world. This is it. That is not a word. We made it up. Well, unmake it up. Jason schwartzman plays Richard Sherman. We were working and having a great time writing this, coming up with crazy words like supercalifragilisticexpialidosis s . Right. And mrs. Travers disliked everything. Of course, the real Richard Sherman was on hand during the filming to give Jason Schwartzman a few pointers. How would you grade him on a scale of one to ten . A plus. Ah. There you go. When the cat has got your tongue there is no need for dismay, make up a word and you have a lot to say. And a is how i felt. Getting a chance to share the joy Richard Sherman has brought to the world for all of these years. For me, it was all just supercalifragilisticexpialidosis s .

Osgood contrary to what many observers thought at the time, not every pronouncement by ford former fed chairman Alan Greenspan was on the money and nobody knows this more than Alan Greenspan himself. The nations capitol narrowly averted a financial crisis this past week and the man who steered the worlds greatest economy for nearly two decades was worried. What is at risk with all of the discord in washington . Well, it is the worst that i have ever seen it, and i have been in and out of washington oh since the 1950s. Reporter as chairman of the Federal Reserve for 18 years, Alan Greenspan span worked with president s bush, clinton, bush and reagan. Before that, he headed president gerald fords council of economic advisors. And greenspan remembers the battles the republican president had then with Democratic House speaker tip oneill. They were at each others throats. All day long from 9 00 to 5 00. At 6 00 oclock, tip tip would go to the west wing of the white house and have one with his old buddy jerry, that doesnt exist anymore. You wont find a republican at a democrat cocktail party. You can but you have to look very hard. What do you think of shutting down the government as a political strategy . We are in a Democratic Society shouldnt, the government should, shutting down the government should not be on the agenda. As far as flirting on default on the nations debt . The whole system is based on trust. You break trust down and the system implodes. So we are playing with fire . Indeed we are. When he left the Federal Reserve in 2006, america was in its greatest period of Economic Growth in our history and greenspan was the economys rock star, revered around the world. That is your favorite picture . That is my favorite picture. Even cubas communist leader, photographed with greenspans memoir, was a fan. What is this all about . I was knighted. Does that come with a title or anything . I was sir alan in the United Kingdom and nowhere else. But then came 2008, the housing bubble burst, Lehman Brothers collapsed, the stock market plunged. People were blaming you for what happened. Uhhuh. I am a human being, when i get criticism like i got, obviously, i dont like it. But, you know, i have got, i got a lot of praise which i didnt deserve as well. Reporter one editorial in particular struck him. I said basically, do we economists know anything . And it was a very legitimate question because you dont know enough to capture the most extraordinary event, economic event in all of our life times, what in the world do we really know . It is like a mystery story to me. How in the world did i miss it . And i said i am going to find out why. He spent two years going back through the data and charts writing his new book, the map and the territory. And it became very apparent to me that we misunderstand how systesymptomatic fear is. Symptomatic here. The fear that led to panic selling and the euphoria that went into the housing bubble were not in the computer models, greenspan himself believed irrational behavior could not be projected or analyzed. I was wrong. Can you put Human Behavior in an equation . You can measure it because if you look at the business model, for example, it drives it up like this and then fear collapses it, and you can take one cycle after the other and they look alike. Underestimating fear, greenspan admits, was not his only mistake. I think a lot of things i got wrong people missed, i still got them wrong. Like what . I forgot. Long before he was an economist, greenspan had other ambitions. He studied music at juilliard, and toured for a year with the henry jerome swing band, playing saxophone and clarinet. When was the last time you looked inside of this . I hate to tell you. Doesed it look familiar. Greenspan pulled out his original clarinet for us. This brings back memories. Which dates from the 1940s. I would blow it but the problem unfortunately is i remember how i used to sound. And i just try to remember that and leave it at that. Greenspan saw he was never going to be a great musician. When i played next to stan jets, who i was 16, he was 15, and i played for years, side by side with him in a band, and he pretty much determined i was going to become an economist. Reporter but it did lead him to his wife, andrea mitchell. In fact, what originally attracted me to her is she liked the same music that i did. There is a disagreement about how many times you proposed. I think she said five and you said three. Well, i still didnt get it. Greenspan and the nbc news correspondent have been married for 16 years. Is he an obsessive writer . Compulsive. He is morning, noon and night, to the point where we would be driving to the tennis court and he would be looking at some manuscript and asked ask me to drive so he could edit copy during the red lights. Just come to a stop. You get an epiphany you dont want to lose it. Good afternoon. Back at the Federal Reserve, there is about to be another changing of the guard. She is tough, just because she is, not just because she is from brooklyn. Janet yellin nominated to be the next head of the fed served under greenspan in the nineties. What do you think of her . He is a very intelligent woman, i am glad to see her as the first woman chairman of the fed. It is long over due. He runs a consulting business now, still keeping his eye on the economy. At 87, there is nothing retiring about Alan Greenspan. Is that an option . Is what an option . Retirement. I dont know what it means. I mean, what do you do, stop thinking . Nurse ratchet will have the usual. Coming up,,,,,,,, ious. Osgood making sick people feel better does not always require a doctors prescription. We found a fellow that proves that all the time. It all began with a coffee craving. I think i got another coffee. A tall cream and sugar haired guy named dan dewey. And this urge he got back in 2006 for a grand debold roast, the starbucks was just downed the roa rode from st. Never site hospital down from detroit where his father was getting a chemo treatment. He was sitting with his dad and other patients when dad announced, anyone want a coffee . Im buying. A pumpkin caramel . Seven years have past. Coffee and coffee with cream. His dad beat his cancer and stopped coming here long time ago. So why is dan still taking order. Nurse ratchet will have the usual. It is the best i have ever had and i get paid to do it. Thank you. Someone said can you afford that, no, but i never had any money anyway, why not share. To date, dan, a retired audiovisual specialist for the local School District has spent about 10,000 of his own money on coffee drinks for cancer patients. Thank you, thank you. He buys the drinks, almost too many at a time. He brings them to mercy and now another hospital across town. It is obviously a very sweet thing to do. But oncologist dr. Raj said dans drinks do a lot more than taste good. It is a cup of coffee, what difference can it make. It is not just the coffee, it is coffee is a vehicle for the relationship. I saw what he meant. He is a wonderful person. 78yearold anna burell is one of his regulars. It makes me feel like somebody cares. I heard that same sentiment from virtually every one of his customers. They all want to pay him, completely unaware that they already have. Thats all you need, is just a smile. Thats all you need. And i have a memory bank full of wonderful smiles. And dan doesnt even see the half of them. I noticed that long after he has moved on to the next delivery, people are still celebrating his presence. Whoever said coffee isnt good for you. You hear people talk about it is the spawn of the delve of something, spawn of the devil or Something Like that. ,,,,,, vil. Lucille ball, rita hayworth, Nicole Kidman and debra, what do thethey have all have in common it turns out none was born a natural redhead. Iit is enough to have authentic redheads seeing red, bill geist is among them. Would you consider yourself a natural redhead. I wouldnt know. Are you a natural redhead . No. Is your hair naturally red . No, it is dyed. It is a great job channel. He is having a bad hair day. Way, wait, are you a natural redhead. Canvassing portland, oregon for natural redheads. Natural redheads. Hmm. And not having much luck. Would you consider yourself a natural redhead. He grew increasingly desperate. From afar in the light it definitely looks red. I am gathering the largest number of natural redheads in one place. His goal was to amass 1,300 redheads. Tomorrow. To set a new Guinness World record for a mass of redheads. All right, thanks. And partly to symbolize that redheads are not on the edge of extinction which recent reports have suggested. Is extinction a myth . Yes. That is not even possible. As the one flaming now fading redhead myself, i was concerned, i got my red hair from grandma. Stand up for your life. To rusty the event was also a chance for the redheaded minority, about two percent of the worlds population, to foster solidarity, community and pride. I burn in the shade on a cloudy day. A Sunscreen Company was a strong supporter of this event for paille skin. What is your spf number. At least 200. You hear people joke around like we are the spawn of the devil or Something Like that, i just laugh. It turns out that we redheads have issues. Who knew. Being a redhead itself, being called a redhead can be pretty pejorative. Name calling starts with carrot top and goes to ranga, short for orangutan and things go downhill from there. Sometimes it is a bully situation, where it is just like not fun. It was always touted as a little girl because there wasnt a Charlie Angel that wasnt a redhead. She was there to interview other redheads for a documentary on redheads. When we get over and realize, oh, i actually am okay, it is cool for me to be their friend and, different and unique and i embrace that now. Also share a rich heritage. Redheaded stranger, in minnesota. Thor was a redhead, thomas jefferson, van gogh, bow zoe, and two napoleons, bonaparte and dynamite. This extravaganza attracted all manner of redheads. I feel pretty unique. Most said they were happy about having red hair. I think i just embraced it, it is fabulous so i think we are going to break this record, i really believe we have got it. [ cheers and applause ] eventually, it was time to count redheads for the guinness record. Rusty asked that i stand with them and be counted. The ocean of orange swelled. Cameras clicked. But alas even with 1,207 redheads, he fell short of being the world record 1255. But records arent everything, in the end, it was nice just to be amongst my own kind. Osgood next, lee cowan at home with Mary Steenburgen and ted danson. My first thought on that is, this is the most ridiculous the creature i have ever met my entire life. And she was mine from that moment on. Osgood and later, medal of honor recipient captain William Swenson. Osgood . You know i will have to take you to a hypnotist. Why . So w we can start making love again. But that is okay. It is sunday morning on cbs. And here again is charles osgood. Osgood Mary Steenburgen stars opposite woody allen in amid summer night sex comedy, much more recently she shared some time with lee cowan for this sunday profile. Oh, thank you, sir. You saved my life. It is tempting to think of Academy Award winner Mary Steenburgen as hollywoods girl next door. Whether she is batting her eyes back to the future or and lunch. And lunch. But the reality is, Mary Steenburgen actually relishes being bad. I love to play horrible, evil, mean people. Because i cant see you being horrible or mean. I know. Trust me, i have horrible in me. Hi, i am liz and i work with jack. And i am glad to see the end of feminism is women dressing like dennis the menace at work. See, she can be nasty and sexy. You are right. It is nothing. But even in melvin and the role that won her an oscar, Mary Steenburgen somehow made stripping seem sweet. Hey, hey, hey. I wish sometimes people wouldnt underestimate me, but it is a fleeting wish. It is not where i live. There is a smile right down there. At 60 years old, it all served her pretty well. Her latest film last vegas a cbs films production tonight we are going to party like it is 1959. Bring out the bottles. Brings her together with four other oscar winners, a cast most actresses only dream about. You are no Spring Chicken but you deserve better than being around these lowlifes. Wow, prince charming. You are somewhat shorter than i thought you would be. There is something very delicious and a very kind of wise and beautiful dance that is done when you work with people at this point in your life that are that accomplished. A southern girl at heart, steenburgen was born in newport, arkansas, her mother, a secretary, her father, a Freight Train conductor, who was doting but ill. He suffered several heart attacks, leaving steenburgen fearing that she might lose him at any moment. I actually believed if i behaved myself and if i made straight as and if i was good enough i could save my dads life, and every single time he had a heart attack i knew what i had done that caused it. What a pressure. It was a lot of pressure. Her only retreat . Books. Obsessively so. I lived in them. Why wouldnt i live in them . I could scream and yell. Because you could play all that out in your head. Yeah. It opened a world that led her to new york city where eventually it was none other than Jack Nicholson who noticed steenburgens Southern Charm and cast her in going south. In time together i have putt two and to together in nature. I am sure nature is very grateful. She has been turning heads ever since, most notably the head of her husband ted danson. It is just so rare that you meet somebody that you are endlessly fascinated by and i am endlessly fascinated by him. When they first met, danson was showing off a new set of Hair Extensions he had gotten for a role. When i first, my first thought is this is the most ridiculous creature i have ever met in my life. And she was mine from that moment on. It wasnt only the hair she had to overcome, it was his on screen persona as the bartending ladys man from cheers. Do you like to laugh . I love to laugh. How did you know . Call it a hunch. Actually, i believed he was superficial and slick, and but as i said to somebody, slick guys dont say gosh arooney after making love. They will now. That is pretty, pretty cool. How to win a girls heart. Gosh arooney eventually led to i do. There is home, big time, yes. They were married here at their Martha Vineyards home overlooking the ocean is the rock that serves at their altar. And your bedroom is right there. It is right over there so if there is an argument, one of us inevitably goes, you stood right out there and you promised being far from the bright lights of hollywood is where steenburgen actually feels the most comfortable. All the redcarpets and award ceremonies so many stars crave have for years been her nightmare. I love being in a room of eight to ten people, once it starts to get too much bigger than that, i have always gotten very frightened and i have never managed to, i, just telling you about it i have sweaty palms, it is the first time i have talked about it, actually. Even the night she won her oscar she went home instead of dancing the night away. Thank you thank you counseling has helped her fear of crowds. On this night we hardly noticed. But then again, this was a hometown crowd. She and danson recently invested in a restaurant in little rock called south on main, celebrating both Southern Food and southern literature. We are going to have nothing much to do with it. Here we are. Coowner. But that is the whirlwind of creativity that is mary. As many of you know, mary is working, used to working on movie sets. And run by steenburgens niece amy and matt bell. It was in this very state some three decades ago where steenburgen struck up an arkansas friendship that endures to this day. Bill and hillary clinton. Through thick and thin, she has been by their side ever since. Does it ever get complicated end up being best friends with the president and first lady . Of course. It is still complicated. It is complicated because they are people i have walked through life with that i love, and so it was hard for me to from the getgo to hear anybody be mean about them, hillary clinton, bill clinton. Their signatures are inscribed on the wall of her guesthouse in marthas vineyards and among the very first to learn of a new chapter in steenburgens life that she only recently opened up about. I had a minor surgery on my arm, but it was enough that i went under general anesthetic and the music started right after that. Thats right. Music. I need a pinch of sugar. Whether the anesthesia from the surgery or not, she is not sure but suddenly for the first time in her life, songs and lyrics kept ringing in her ears. At one point i had to kind of look in the mirror and say, you know, you are a mom, you are a wife, people count on you. Yoyou cant go off the deep end into this kind of crazy musical world. She began writing everything down and with a little help from musicians in nashville, her lyrics came to life. I woke with a man last night. She now has written or cowritten more than 40 songs, and universal music recently signed her. As a songwriter. And, yes, her instrument of choice is indeed the accordion. So why the accordion . I am not judging, i am just asking. No, you are. You are a hater. I can tell. I will tell you this, i am obsessed with it. I love it beyond belief. There is something about it that just appeals to me. I dont know why. Danson bought hermida first, her, her accord dan, i dont know on the valentines day although it freaked him out a bit at first. At first it was intimidating to my relationship. Is she humming or i couldnt tell. What he could tell more than anyone is the difference it made in her life. When you write you go to heaven, you really go to some other place that is really almost divine. Yes. The veteran actress and the newbie songwriter come together in her new film. That song is hers too, a surprise twist perhaps in a life that has rarely followed a script and yet Mary Steenburgen, that is pretty sweet. Hey, it is a miracle to have a career in hollywood, but it doesnt begin to fill me up. Osgood coming up, hero defined. Osgood last tuesday, at a ceremony in washington, captain William Swenson became a recipient of the medal of honor, behind that ceremony is a heros tale worthy of most. Here is david martin. Reporter it is just a few minutes lost in hundreds of hours of video recorded by the crew of the medivac helicopter in afghanistan. A brief sequence which showed something we have never seen before, an american soldier army captain will swenson in the midst of a battle for which he received the medal of honor. I think the first question everybody is going to have looking at that video is, why werent you wearing a helmet . Well, if you had seen the rest of the afghans they dolls not wear helmets if you are the one guy hanging out with a bunch of afghans who look different, that is who the sniper is going to pick so it was actually safer not to wear a helmet . Camouflage. Swenson was an advisor to the Afghan Border patrol when his unit was ambushed. He called back to base for artillery fire. That was supposed to be laid down between us and the enemy so we can get up and move off the battlefield without being clear targets. Swensons request was denied by officers in the rear who worried about causing civilian casualties. Captain swenson probably made nine or ten different calls for fire before he probably gave up in frustration. Now retired, colonel Richard Hooker who investigated the battle which claimed five american lives spoke to 60 minutes. Did you feel betrayed . You have to ask him, but it is probably not far off the mark. If i call for artillery support i do so understanding the possibility of civilian possibilities but that is my decision, that is my responsibility. Thats my call by cock train, not somebody sitting several kilometers away. Left them surrounded bien miss on three sides. Swenson sergeant and close friend Kenneth Westbrook was shot in the neck. He called out to me and said, will i have been hit and was pinned down at the time and i said all right, hang in there and yells out again, will i am losing it, i am losing blood, i cant keep doing. This a medivac helicopter landed swenson and a crew man helped westbrook get aboard just before they took off swenson leaned in and gave westbrook a kiss. Did you ever see him again . I never saw him again. One month later he passed away at walter reed. Swenson went back into battle in search of four other americans who had been cut off from the rest of the unit. Chief warrant officer pen rod and kevin dust were the two medivac crew men wearing the helmet cams, over their radio they could hear the four americans calling for help. They are begging from help for us, artillery, from the attack helicopters. It has been more than four years and it is with you like this. It doesnt go away. By the time swenson got to them, it was too late. It is clear when we came upon them that they had been wounded, they had been in a terrible fight, and that they were treating their casualties and eventually they had been over run. Were you bitter . Was i bitter . I was angry. What you said was, i have to clean it up a little, we are not being secondguessed by higher command or somebody sitting in a air conditioned Operation Center why am i even out there. If i have to get somebodys out there thats how i do it. Those officers that denied his call for fire support had been clouded by headquarters in kabul, at the time headed by Stanley Mcchrystal to restrict the use of artillery in an effort to reduce civilian casualties. From my foxhole, from my small perspective, from the, there is small crowd of afghan stance i determined those restrictions were onerous and restricted the fighter on the ground. He was sure the angry words directed at his superiors ruined his career. I determined it was best course of action would be to separate. Get out of the army . Yes. Sounds fair to say you left the army disillusioned. Confused. You could see in swensons face that receiving the medal of honor did not erase the pain or the los from the battle. But it did set one thing right. Army captain will swenson has asked to rejoin the army and return to active duty. Osgood here is a look at the week ahead from our sunday morning calendar. On monday, secretary of state kerry meets in paris with the Saudi Foreign minister and officials of the arab league, before flying to london on talks on syria. Tuesday, apple holds a media event, possibly to introduce its latest products. Wednesday, sees the christening of Prince George Alexander Louie of cambridge, the son of the duke and duchess of cambridge. On thursday forbes releases its annual list of the highest earning dead celebrities. Elizabeth taylor topped last years list with 210 million in posthumous earnings. Friday sees the annual Iowa Republican party Ronald Reagan dinner with texas senator ted cruz as the keynote speaker. And saturday is make a difference day, nations Largest Community service day with millions of volunteer participants, a joint effort of usa weekend and points of light, which cbs news sayeed partner. And lets not forget the ad hoc art show already underway in new york all this month. It is called better out than in. A movable feast of outdoor works by the mysterious street artist he is making new york city his canvas this month with new works appearing almost daily, in some unlikely spots. Set the to be of two boys defacing a sign with the message, graffiti is a crime. Their way of telling the authorities game on. Other provocative works have followed, most barely survive the day before being vandalized themselves and it is not just this slaughterhouse delivery truck with its noisy passengers is also a work, title . Sirens of the lambs. And then this anonymous photo, who spent a day cryptically marked sidewalk table signing artwork for 60 work, the buyers could probably resell for thousands. Not that everyone in new york city is amused by his tactics. Just ask mayor michael bloomberg. You are working on somebodys property or public property and defacing it will not be permitted. Being permitted or not, he is still apparently on the loose, eluding both his fans and the police with 11 october days left to go.
