Osgood now a page from our sunday morning almanac. March 30, 1858. The data philadelphia inventor made his mark. That was the day he patented the first pencil with its own eraser had to be sharpened just like the graphite point. Sold it for 100,000. Because Supreme Court erased it in 1875. Justices ruled that because his pencil combined two existing devices it was not patent worthy after all. The patent was rubbed out, the pencil eraser survives to this day. In a more familiar form as piece of rubber attached by a metal band. Over the years many of our most creative people have relied on the pencil from other son welles to Robert Redford to cbss David Letterman. Despite all the electronic note taking gadgets at our disposal these days. The pencil still has its uses including david reese the professional pencil sharpener. When you really consider a number 2 pencil as engineered communication device it is still really efficient and really elegant. And steve jobs had been the one to introduce it people would have been going crazy about what a simple and crazy tool. Osgood industry celebrates today as National Pencil day. A day for pencil lovers to consider the many uses including sporting one discovered by yahoo when the website asked, whats the best way to lower my golf score the popular choice was, bring a pencil with an eraser.

Osgood were told this painting is an artist as known as lee would sell for tens of thousands of dollars. He was writing on the wall for free. Rita braver joins the issue over whether graffiti is art. It is in fact a National Urban epidemic, spread like some mysterious magic marker pen, spray paint fungus. Remember when graffiti was a scourge. Every public wall is covered with names in obscure kind of print. What was once considered vandalism is being presented in an exhibit at the museum of the city of new york showcasing some who as teenagers left their mark in the 1970s and 80s. Im going to be 59 this year. So looking back, wow, just doesnt seem real. Brendon goes by the street name utura 2000. Chris ellis is known as daze and his real name. They say that early graffiti was all about tagging, figuring out a stylish and distinctive way to write your street name. It was the perfect media for what we were doing because it was vibrant colors, quick, dried fast and enabled you to paint on large scale. Over the years graffiti writers began to embellish their work with more design element, many borrowed from popular culture. All along part of the attraction for these kids including lady pink, was that they were outlaws. With spray paint often stolen as their weapon of choice. Learning how to paint in pitch blackness, your heart in your threat, hear a noise, might be a rat, but you jump out of your sneakers and run down then have to continue painting in the dark. This is not an easy thing. But what many of us never realize is how hard these teenagers worked on their creations. They actually planned out what they were going to put on buildings and trains and buses . It was very common to work on your style and translated in to work in the world. A rare group of little black books essentially sketch books. Also photos and reproductions all collected by the late martin long a painter in his own right who became friend and mentor to many. Young graffiti writers. What do you think that he realized this stuff Worth Holding on to . He believed a real creative value what these kids were doing. He bought in to who they were. He saw them as artists not hoodlums . He really very strongly believed that. Bit others object to glorifying graffiti arguing that its a sign of a city out of control. It is filthy. It is spirit killing. Heather mcdonald who writes about urban policy for the Manhattan Institute says she is angry about the exhibit. It is not focus sufficiently on the corrosive effect that the has on the city. Anybody who could avoid the subways in the 1970s and 80s that could have, did. The exhibit presents graffiti in the context of art. You are suggesting that this isnt art . It is vandalism. It is an appropriation of the publics face or somebodys private property without permission, nobody has a right to do that. It is only graffiti or vandalism if you get arrested. If you get away with it its clearly art. In fact graffiti began to disappear on streets and subways as new york city became more vigilant about cracking down and screening up. But it left a lasting impression on our culture. Itura 20000 is a graphic artist who worked for nike and levi. Lady pink is a painter whose work has been exhibited in several museums. And so is daze and the Graffiti Movement paves the way for world renowned artists who created the famous obama hope poster. In all the trio of pioneers. Were all grateful right now to have had that experience. Because a lot of people wow, thats so cool back then. Yeah, it was. You missed it. The museum says, this is in one of the most popular exhibits in years. Whether you like the work or what it stands for theres no getting away from the fact that all of this was created by the very young. 14yearold or 15yearold. It was done by kids. We saw Important Movement by teenagers in our american culture. Osgood still to come. The sins of a father. This was not an easy thing like smuggling 17 elephants in the country.

Eight days after the slide buried the town of oso the searching and the mourning are far from over. John blackstone has our sunday journal. The mountain that rise above the river have been shrouded in rain clouds much of this week. A winter of heavy rain may have played a role in triggering the massive landslide that transformed the quiet saturday morning. In to a scene of confusion and horror. It is overwhelming. As far as i can see was this devastation. Lake as far as i could see it was incredible. There was things that i never want to see again. Volunteer tire fighters were among the first to reach the scene. We got in to that morning was mud and it was like pea soup like quicksand. We knew we had to go through that kind of terrain to be able to get to the first gentleman that we airlifted it of there. With the road destroyed, rescue helicopters were essential. The air searched for survivors. The kid was in mud up to here. The chopper crew descended for 4yearold jacobs safety. We have no clue how he ended up there by himself. A little boy reminded fay of his own grandson. Maybe thats not a good idea. Crap. Sorry. Jacob is recovering but his father, two brothers and sister were also. His mother was at work and survived. The landslides youngest known victim is 4 month sold sanoah houstos. It is a loss that is personal with know his family. Our friends, his house was destroyed, his wife and his 4 month old granddaughter were missing in the mud. And they found her yesterday, the little baby. Another of their friends, 21yearold alan is still missing. Along with his fiance delani. Hard worker, just starting out life. I just feel is he bad for the family. Because the time he was young he was just laughing, laughing. Diana is allans mother. My husband said, why would god do this . I said, who didnt want allan . I can just picture them in the kitchen, i dont think they know what hit them. It was fast. Search officials acknowledge that after more than a week its unlikely anyone could still be alive beneath the mud and debris. But the search remains urgent for them. They have returned to work at the site almost every day. We just want to do whatever you can to help them find their family members. Its important to me. Ill keep going back. May sound strange but therapeutic. It gives us purpose. Thats why were here. We want to go help. Thats why the other people out there just want to go help. Lets do something.

Osgood speaking of that reason sometimes leads to unwelcome surprises. Thats the story our tracy smith has to tell. Its lovely. Absolutely lovely. Did you appreciate that as a kid . I dont think i wore a shirt other than at private school until i moved out of miami. Still has a soft spot for miami. Its where he grew up in the 1980s. Back when it really was paradise lost. Those were the days when miami was all drug wars and police raids. Fortified by a tv show about two cops who sped around town in a black convertible. By 1985 when miami vice debuted everything you saw on screen was gorgeous but also reality. People in miami were very happy to watch themselves and their life reflected in almost documentary way. But that wasnt his life. Tony dokoupil was insulated thanks to very successful father. I owe you a thank you card. Why do you say that . Because you bought my fathers product. And you bought my baseball gloves. And you put me through private school and paid for the boat that we crisscrossed the ocean with. And the caribbean vacations and the good life. Of course as a kid tony had no clue where it all came from. What did you think he did for a living . When i was old enough to ask questions i was told that he sold real estate in vermont. That he developed property. Was that true . It. Was true. Just wasnt the whole truth. That real estate job seemed to allow him a lot of free time and he coated on his son. And made him deal adored. It was ideal lick. When tony was six his father walked away from him and his mother. To see him go was a surprise and quite the saddened heart. So did the mystery. Dad would reappear sporadically but never for long. Word was he will a drug addict and lost everything. The younger dokoupil became a journalist. He picked up a paper trail that led to the National Archives in washington where he found this, indictment charging one anthony dokoupil of drug trafficking. On a massive scale. What did you think when you found that indictment . You never met someone so happy to discover that their father was class one felon. Happy . It showed degree of high level accomplishment. This was not an easy thing, 17 tons of bulky, smelly matter like smuggling 17 elephants. To pull that off, maybe he had something going on. Turns out his operation was nearly fall proof. Go to colombia with a big freighter which you can put tons on then have that freighter. Those smaller boats would parcel out the load and sail north of the canadian border, turn around, then head south along the compost to make their deliveries. Because southbound boats were seldom suspected. They never got caught. Not once. Marijuana dealers in the 70s you a themselves and folklore heroes who werent going to get involved in the they werent going to spread cocaine around but peace and love, expansion of the mind, this were doing good. They were flouting the prohibition. In fact tony junior writes, the smugglers life was so appealing his dad ultimately chose it over his own family. Was your dad a hero . A hero to the 40 million americans. Was he a hero to me . We played whistle ball went swimming had ha good time. But in retrospect he could have been more heroic as a father. How so . He could have stuck around. When a snitch turned him in. In the years before he went to jail he set up the pot dealers version of a trust fund. Burying huge amounts of cash in styrofoam coolers. ÷ e in a ma hundred thousand in a wood pile in long island where one of my relatives lived. Another hundred thousand in different location. The family found some, but most of big tonys money just seemed to disappear. He doesnt know, he cannot account for all of it. Could it be buried . I have looked through those woods better luck finding his long lost dad. The elder dokoupil now 67 lives in cambridge, massachusetts. And has, he says, less than a thousand dollars to his name. Under a thousand dollars. Yeah. From the man who made how much . You must have done the numbers, tony. Three million, four or five million. Most of it he says went to feed his additions to drugs and women. I love women. I love to be around them. I never get a chance to do that so im estranged from them. In the present. You had a nice run. Oh, my, oh, my. Its only regret it seems is walking away from his little boy. Ill always know exactly how tony looked that night when i left. But if you could do it all again, would you . Yes. No doubt about it. Unless i would have to leave tony again. If i could do it all again and keep tony, then i would have done it in a second. I have a bunch of pictures, you can print them out. At a if he toe shop. Father and son came together for our interview. For tony junior, himself the father two of, still a lot of hurt to work through. Thats what you want, right . Whats your relationship like now . I want it to be good but its not. Its not good because i cant look at him without scratching my head. Still hard for me to understand how i could be confident Going Forward in the world having come from him. Race car drivers dont watch crashes. My father is a crash. I dont want to be confronted with it. At the same time youre the one who took this on. You took it full on, wrote a book. I took it full on and i looked for the answer that i could live with and i think i found it, which is he chose his life. And i can choose mine. He has talent that he was born with, he used that for the ends that he saw fit and he loved it. I can do the same. Maybe genes arent destiny and need not accept a future that seems written in the family name. Dokoupil in czech means, i fought it all. ,,,,,,,, osgood it happened this week. Two very different stories all bout died of heart problems friday in virginia beach, virginia. They didnt believe that i would write anything they could use so they kept ongoing until i went unconscious. I dont know how long i was unconscience. Osgood first attracted our attention not as politics but navy pilot held as prisoner of war by the north vietnamese which shot him down. But his captors forced him to appear in propaganda video in 1966. He blinked the word torture in morse code. In britain was freed in early 197 after more than seven years in captivity. I still dont have full use of my fingertips. He was elected at alabama first republican senator in 1980. Served a single term. Jeremiah was 89. And on the shore painted on napkin by pierre, some time around 1879 was unveiled at press release thursday at the Baltimore Museum of art nearly 63 years of a ii it was stolen. Just five and a half by nine, it was purchased in 1920s by an art collector. Who went on to lend it to the museum in 1937. The painting was stolen in 1951. Gone it seemed for good. Until that is the year 2012 when virginia woman bought it for just 7 at free market tried to put it up for auction. That triggered an fbi investigation and complicated court case which ended this past january with the judges ruling it belonged back in the museum. To date the painting goes back on public view. If anyone has any ideas, it will be anchored to the wall. It is all or nothing. Osgood coming up. The real Lyndon Johnson. And we shall overcome. ,,, the Great American novel. So you can happily let life get in the way, while planning for tomorrow. So you can finish the Great American novel banking for the life you have investing for the life you want chase. So you can osgood lbj, Lyndon Baines johnson. Our 36th president and most memorable. His life had all the elements of classic tragedy which makes it altogether fitting now being portrayed on the broadway stage. Here is david martin. As a southerner ive had to bite my tongue on this issue my entire life. Until my mouth was full of blood. Not any more. The issue is race, the southerner is president Lyndon Baines johnson has played by Brian Cranston on broadway. After five years as the chemistry teacher terned meth dealer on breaking bad cranston let his hair grow to aperture the ambition and tragedy than the larger than life texan. Only thing that i really felt about Lyndon Johnson coming in to this production was, his vietnam. Hey, hey, lbj, how many kids did you kill today. What cranston found out was very different. You call yourself the leader of the democratic party. This play all the way covers that first year and it is Lyndon Johnson really at his best. When he accomplished something that many people thought could never be accomplished. The Civil Rights Act of 1964. Do you see him as heroic figure . In many ways, yes. Because he went against the norm in a time in the early 60s when he just as easily could have just let it be the status quo. What the hell is the point ever being president if you cant do what you know is right. The real lbj spoke toes words in the dark days after dallas rejecting the advice of aids that it was bad politics to attempt a civil rights bill. No memorial or eulogy could more eloquently honor president kennedys memory than the earliest possible passage of the civil rights bill of which he fought for. The Lyndon Johnson ending segregation was about more than honoring a dead president. It was about his own experience as a young man teaching mexicanamerican children in a forsake enlittle texas town called katula. There would come day where each and everyone id see the light in their eyes die as they discovered that the world hated them just because of the color of their skin. Never even occurred to me in my fondest dreams that i might have the chance to help the sons and daughters of those cubans. For us a hill charisma john f. Kennedy failed to pass civil rights legislation. But johnson would his knowledge of congress knew how to bend it to his will. Now i do have that chance. And i let you in on a secret, i mean to use it. He tape recorded virtually every phone call he made as president you can listen in as he horse trades. Getting his vote on civil rights in return for Flood Control project. Whats the total cost. In that area of illinois. Let me get on that ill call you back. 22 minutes later. Lbj told him he would have his project. Dont i tell anybody now that you got a back door to the white house. Even his attorney general Robert Kennedy with hated him almost has intensely as he mourned his dead brother had to hand it to lbj. Just miracle, who could have thought that wed get this bill. My fellow americans, i am about to sign in to law a Civil Rights Act of 1964. Johnson signed the bill in law on july 2, 1964, Martin Luther king stood front and center. John lewis, one of the front line soldiers in the battle against segregation saw its impact. Those signs, white men, colored men and those signs are gone. They will not return. The country were living in today is more Lyndon Johnsons country than the country of any other president weve had. Starting in 1965, joseph was johnsons chief domestic advisor. We were passing about a hundred bills a year, many more than that. Medicare, medicaid, federal aid to education, clean air, clean water, a whirlwind of legislation that made up johnsons great society. He was consumed with poverty and he was consumed with racial justice. And that affected decision after decision. When state troopers attacked civil rights marchers in selma, alabama, clubbing john lewis to his knees. Johnson responded with a speech to a joint session of Congress Calling for passage of another landmark bill. It is wrong, deadly wrong to deny any of your fellow americans the right to vote in this country. And then in an act of transcendent symbolism the president of the United States embraced the refrain from the great civil rights anthem. Really its all of us who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice. And we shall overcome. Sitting next to Martin Luther king, tears came down his face, he cried. We all cried a little to hear president johnson saying, and we shall overcome. But at the same time he was using his political genius to transform america, johnson was dragging the country in to a war he knew he could not win. So this is everybody wishes the vietnam war. His granddaughter, says the lbj library in austin, texas, makes no attempt to down play the tragedy of the war. Unfortunately you cant truly say without showing that. He talks about vietnam with National Security advisor. I dont see what we can ever hope to get out of there once we committed. I dont think its worth fighting for. I dont think we can get out. Its just the biggest damn mess. It is an awful mess. If ever a single photo captured lbjs agony over vietnam it is this. Listening to a tape recording from one of the marines he sent to fight. His own soninlaw. For years i couldnt look at that without crying. My grandfather getting a report from my father when he was over in vietnam. By 1968, there were over half million american troops in vietnam and the war had become so divisive, johnson felt he had no choice but to surrender the power of the presidency. I shall not seek and i will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president. Johnsons legacy is on display today both in the form of the Vietnam Memorial which cuts a black gash across the National Mall and in the person of barack obama reporting to now congressman john lewis was able to become president as a result that have Voting Rights act. I think Lyndon Johnson did more to liberate black americans than anyone. Since abraham lincoln. How should we balance what youve just told me about what he did for black americans and for all americans . I think if it hadnt been for vietnam it would be considered as one of the great it is president s of all times. This is why youre the coolest fiance ever. Osgood first, how a gesture is a trend. Osgood steve hartmans story about ohio boy who died in iraq captured the attention of folks around the country. This morning steve is back with chapter two. Nineyearold miles made the americas most reluctant celebrity, it was never his intention to be honored or pose for pictures. The past month this has been his world. Thank you so much. Were on the ride of our life. Tiffany is miles mom. Usually a picture of a cat, not my son. Its the craziest thing ive ever experienced in my life. If you missed the story that started it all, miles adventure began here at Cracker Barrel in ohio. The Security Camera shows miles and his family entered the restaurant on february 7th at 11 14. Miles was very excited. He just found a 20 bill in the parking lot. Just sitting there . Yeah. You started thinking what you could spend it on . I wanted to get a video game then i decided not to. He changed his mind when he saw a guy in military uniform enter the restaurant. He remind me of my dad. He wrapped the 20 in a note that said, dear soldier, my dad was a soldier. Hes in heaven now. I found this 20 in the parking lot within we got here. We like to pay it forward in my family. Its your lucky day. Thank you for your service. Signed, miles eckert a gold star kid. Army Sergeant Andy was killed in iraq just five weeks after miles was born. All the kid has ever had are pictures. This is his wedding ring. Other peoples memories and his own imagination. I imagine as a nice person. The dad must love a good story. Because after lunch that day, miles asked his mom to make one more stop. He wanted to go see his dad. Didnt want to go himself. She took this picture from his car. Follow the footsteps youll see miles behind the flag presumably telling his dad all about it. And whether heaven herd him, his good deed made a huge impression here on earth. You read it more than once . I look at it every day. Lieutenant colonel frank daly of the Air National Guard is the within who got the dote. Kid gave you a bigger gift than 20. A lifetime direction for sure. Lieutenant colonel daly gave away the money. That 20 has been multiplied ever since. Exponential. Its amazing. After our story aired a lot of people wanted to give miles his 20 back. But instead of taking any money they directed those donations to snowball express, a charity that helps kids who have lost a parent to war. So far donations total more than a quarter of a million dollars. Somebody would be very proud. Osgood ahead. Meet how i met your mothers Cobie Smulders. They think salmo. But the energy bp produces up here creates Something Else as well jobs all over america. Thousands of people here in alaska are working to safely produce more energy. But thats just the start.

Maintaining it means manufacturing jobs in the midwest. Then we transport it with 4 stateoftheart, doublehull tankers. Some of the safest, most advanced ships in the world built in san diego with a 1 billion investment. Across the United States, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs.

Would you say you were a good model . No. Why not . I think to be a good model you have to actually enjoy having your picture taken. And i never really did. But the job took her around the world. I did it for about two years. Then i realized how much i didnt like it. Sounds like modeling gave you something, though. Yeah. Conany dense . I dont know find myself a confidence about my looks or body but did allow me to walk in to a room just Start Talking to people. Because so much of that time i was alone.

An avid scuba diver she once dreamed of being a marine biologist. Her success has also forced the former model back in front of the camera.

Im surprised weve been talking so long. Ive always had to keep my eye on her. But i didnt always watch out for myself. With so much noise about health care, i tuned it all out.

We dont allow crane hunting we hold them far too dear. So much so in towns across our state we look up and we beg them toe draw near. Slowly they descend over villages. By the time they get to carny they set their wings, extend landing gear and theyre home again. At least for the next month or so. They seem so grateful, they agree to put on daily pageant just for us it is spectacular. This month some 6 0,000 sandhill cranes will find rest, refuge and nutrition here along the platte river. While other bird populations fail at the hand of man the cranes have thrived. Allows them toe put on a pound of fat during their month long stay. Vital Energy Reserves may be the nesting grounds in the northern u. S. , canada, even eastern siberia. At dawn and dusk each day they come in go they literally block the sun. From a distance they look like clouds of smoke on the horizon. Sound of thunder as they launch in to the air all at once. Three and half feet tall with crown of bright red skin and clarion call can be heard a mile away. They can live up to 40 years are extremely social. Some birds dance and sing, call and pair up. Others fight and leave their mates. Some of the youngsters act out and become juvenile delinquents. In other words, theyre a lot like us. Believe it or not these dense flocks are manmade phenomena. They have plenty of open space. Conservation groups lovingly maintain several miles of River Channel each year creating a safe haven for the masses. In april when warm winds finally come, the sandhill cranes will rise again gliding up and up until we cant hear them any more. And vanish. In to a clear blue sky.
