Allowing some very determined lovers of the game to play it by ear. Our cover story reported now by Mark Strassmann. You might think a 32yearold father of four playing in a Baseball League is just a guy trying to relive his youth. And in brandon chessers case, youd be right. Sports were brandons life as a kid growing up in texas. Little did he know then, sports would be what saved his life. It all started when he was eight. I was standing in right field during a baseball game and there was a ball hit and it was hit directly to me but i never knew it was out there. Everything beyond ten feet was a blur. I ended up crying in the dug out, i kept telling my mom, i cant see em. I cant see em. Brandon was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa a degenerative eye disease. Higs vision loss was gradual. In high school he could still read textbooks and even played varsity football. But by his early 20s, brandon could hardly see. Everybody past three feet was a kaleidoscope and everything between my nose and three feet were blurred shapes. Must have been hard to take. It was very hard. I couldnt compete on an athletic level any more. Or i felt that way. And i didnt know what to do with my life. I didnt know which direction to turn. But in 2006 life began looking up. He met his few fewer wife, pam. Shes also blind. And on their first date brandon told her about his childhood love of sports and she told him about the Austin Blackhawks and beep baseball. Amazing to watch. Imagine playing, unable to see anything. Some players have partial sight. Others none at all. They all wear blindfolds so that no one has an edge. But because everyone can hear, the ball and the bases all make a beeping sound. The blindfold goes on i make the transition. My ears become my eyes. Lupe was born blind. Think about it. He has never actually seen a baseball game. But perez started playing in 1990 and is now considered one of the sports alltime greats. What is your favorite part . Winning. Beep baseball began 40 years ago, a telephone engineer named charles bear banks created ball that beeps. Inside of this silicone structure is old telephone speaker and batteries with a beeper. Today more than two dozen teams compete in the u. S. , taiwan and Dominican Republic using rules adapted for blind athletes. There are only two bases, first and third. Each marked by a padded pylon. When a batter lets a fair ball a lab tomorrow beep tells him which base to run to f. He touches the base before a fielder gets hold of the beeping ball, its a run. If not its an out. In this game the pitcher, the only player who can sees on the same team as the batter. The pitcher calls get ready. And the batter listens for the beep and times the swing. Kevin same ton has pitched for the Austin Blackhawks for 29 years. Every since he found the the team with his brother, wayne, who was blind. What you do for them, what do they do for you . There was a synergy between the batter and the pitcher that is like nothing else in sport. There really is a trust relationship in all of this. Thats why we call ourselves a family. Because were closer than a team, we trust one another. We have faith in one another. For people say, thats nice. Blind people are playing a game. How competitive is this for people who have never seen it before . Youre talking about grown men and women playing a sport where they will do anything to get that championship title. Back in august, brandon and the blackhawks along with 19 other teams traveled to rochester, minnesota, for 39th annual beep baseball world series. The blackhawks swept their first five games. One more team to beat, an indianapolis power house, the rhi extreme. By the last inning, austin led 148. Get it. Wow. Brandon chesser caught the final out. The Austin Blackhawks saw themselves for who they were. World champions. For folks who watch this story is there a message from this team to the sighted who are all about possibility in all this. Dont let anybody ever tell you you cant do that and ive always been told, cant do. That now im a World Champion even though im blind. Osgood next, three cheers for cheerleaders.

November 2, 1898, 116 years ago today. A date worth cheering about. For that was the day football fan Johnny Campbell of the university of minnesota became americas first widely acknowledged cheerleader. Schools across the land followed campbells example and for the next quarter century americas cheer lead he is were exclusively men, honored men at that. The reputation of having been a valiant cheer leader is one of the most valuable things a boy can take away from college. The nation magazine wrote back in 1911. It ranks hardly second to that of having been a quarterback. In some cases, it proved a stepping stone for the presidency. Franklin roosevelt led cheers at harvard. As did Dwight Eisenhower at west point. Ronald reagan at Eureka College in illinois. And george w. Bush at yale. Of course women have long since joined the cheerleading ranks including meryl streep, madonna Even Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg, among many others. Not always been fun and games. In 1991, Wanda Webb Holloway made unsuccessful lot to murder the mother of the girl who in junior high cheerleading ud squad. Case inspired hbo movie with holly hunter in the starring role. I dont know, 20,000. Cheerleading has goodnatured kidding. As with will ferrell and cheri oteri on saturday night live. Today cheerleading goes far beyond anything Johnny Campbell could imagine. Still his alma mater honors him incorporating part of his cheer, the fight song. Osgood coming up. Dressed in black.

While we slept the clocks fell back were now on standard time. Osgood the widow wore black. Wasnt always a matter of choice, once upon a time it was mandatory. Martha teichner takes us back to an expression of grief was also a fashion statement. It was halloween, but a strange phenomenon was over taking new Yorks Metropolitan Museum lately. Im a fashionista in every era. People keep showing up as if they have lost their nearest and dearest. A century and a half ago. Here people are born in the wrong century. They dress up like this, but imagine wearing nothing but black head to toe for years. What the welldressed mourner wore in that era is the subject of the mets look at mourning attire between 1815 and 1915. Would have been worn during a period of deep mourning. The first stage. Deep mourning. Jessica regan is a curator of the met show. Its covered completely in mourning crepe which has a very distinctly crinkled, almost pebbled surface and its finished with a starch. Its rather stiff. And dull black, crape, that is craape is what a respectable american or european widow was expected to wrap herself in during victorian times. There was an expectation at least in the first stages of mourning that one would wear the veil over the face. That was year one. In year two a little was permissible. But wait, there was more. An additional six months of socalled halfmourning, a hint of white or color was okay. Men by comparison had it easy. Suggested only a period of three months mourning nor a widower, black suit that men wore anyway was already fairly appropriate for mourning attire. He can simply add a crape band around his top hat. Dressing simply in black for mourning like a nun, actually, goes back to the middle ages. Queen victorias approach to mourning overkill, so to speak. She wore black for 40 years after her husband died. But what the royals did trickled down to the middle class. How . Fashion magazines. From the late 18th and early 19th centuries, fashion magazines emerged and they really offered much more detailed information for a much broader spectrum of society of the latest fashions, that included mourning fashions. In major cities, there were whole department stores, warehouses devoted to fashionable mourning wear. Like todays wedding salons. But mourning was about more than clothes. Go on forever. You can do without it. In gone with the wind scarlet ohara, courted scandal for dancing. World war 1 changed the rules. There were so many men who were lost in that conflict that the idea of massive mourning was just too much to contemplate. Mary davis is dean of graduate studies at the Fashion Institute of technology in new york city. Look at emily post writings in the 1920s, there arent the compare sieve to hide your face. Its a much lightened up version. By the 1920s. Fashion designers, notably coco chanel had repurposed widows as the little black dress. Fabulously unfuneraleal in breakfast at tiffanys. And yet think of Jackie Kennedy at jfks funeral. The black suit, the crape vail. If you look ahead to princess dianas funeral in 1997, Prince Charles showed up to that event wearing Navy Blue Suit rather than black because as he says, it was her favorite suit. Its still common to wear black. But thats not necessary. Whats more important is to be neat and pressed and dignified and to respect the memory of the person who is lost. White is the traditional color of mourning in china, india and japan. But with halloween still in mind, we thought wed return to the metropolitan museum to descend into the gloom and celebrate basic black. Osgood still to come. Lisa kudrow on life after friends. I was with five other people who became famous and it was kind of harrowing. Osgood later, in honor of color. ,,,,,, wait. Im getting a deja vu. No, im not. All right. We have to talk. There it is. Its sunday morning on cbs. And here again is Charles Osgood. Osgood lisa kudrow had millions of fans on the long running Television Show friends. What is she up to these days . Lee cowan with a round of questions and answers. Were you glad that it ended when it ended, friends . No. No . No. You wanted it to go on longer. Yeah, i could have. We were making a lot of money, too, by the way. Theres that. Where did he get him . My friend bethel rescued him from some lab. That is so cruel. Whyy would a parent name their child bethel . For ten years, lisa kudrows Phoebe Buffay and five famous friends blended as smoothly as the coffee at central perk. Smelly cat, what are they feeding you everybody the final episode of friends was the fourth most watched Series Finale in history. I guess this is it. When it ended left kudrow wondering how do you top a show that became a cultural phenomenon. Certainly not doing another sitcom. I just did friends im going to try to tell the world ive got something else. No. Thats not going to happen. Thats just an impossibility. Unlike her costars, many went to romantic comedy route. Kudrow chose roles a little more off beat. This is my come back. Im going to tape that again. The first role was valley cherish fading sitcom star with the reality show just to get back in the limelight. So desperate for a comeback they have cameras fall them around all day. Only lasted one sees glob hello, hello. Welcome to my trailer on the studio lot. Come on in. Now, nine years later, hbo making series about a neurotic older sitcom actress. What . Hbo is giving the come back a comeback. You have to hold the record i think for longest amount of time between season one and two. I think so. Something to be proud of. The often biting critique and high wattage tendency toe exploit those willing to do anything for fame. One of my fears back then, i dont know how people are going to survive it. I was with five other people who became fall famous it was kind of harrowing. You were starting to explore back then kind of came true. Absolutely came true. And worked. No privacy. Anything goes. Very intimate, personal things about a family and a marriage. That thats entertain. Her social commentary hasnt stopped there. Youre muted now so i cant hear you because the section has ended. Kudrow also takes aim at the internet in web therapy now on showtime. I was getting the impression last couple of sessions that i was boring you and i have enough of an inner intellectual life to keep interested in anything that eastbound you could be saying. She plays the dubiously credentialed doctor who figures age of social media threeminute web chat can pass for psychotherapy. I i have done the 90 minute sections with people but they end up going on and on about dreams and feelings and memories and past experience, is that add up to a whole lot of nothing. Okay. From producing documentary series who do you think you are on tlc where kudrow and other celebrities trace their family roots. This is amazing. I dont believe it. For kudrow exploring her jewish great grandmothers execution at the hands. Nazis during world war ii was sobering. It made me really angry. On so many levels. Its that depressing realization that human beings are cruel and stupid. Lisa kudrow grew up in tarzana, california, the daughter of a doctor. This is it, huh . Yeah. This was it. My locker rer was down there. She made it to middle school she was as studious as they come and also pretty self conscious. Thats too bad. Thats you . Well, yeah. I had dark hair. Thats a girl waiting for her nose job. You knew that you always wanted to get it done. I knew i was going to get it done. Because why . Are your eyes not working . What do you mean . You thought it was bad . Thats not optical illusion thats a big nose. The studious nature not too many friends. You had a lunch experience. Panic. Yeah . Yeah. Like, do i know anyone that will let me sit with them. I dont know. Yeah. It was bad sometimes. It was really bad. So she stuck to the books and headed for Vassar College where she studied evolutionary biology. She had plans to become a doctor, just like her dad, even coauthored a Research Paper with him on headaches. Where was all that comedy hiding then before . It was there. Sort of, you know. But i just thought, well, thats just for fun and, you know, you dont actually this isnt a life goal. But all along there were whispers of something else. Id be home on break driving around in l. A. Id hear commercials on the radio for sitcom and, i dont know, out of no where, i hear, hitting that joke too hard. Remember to throw it away when you do it. When you do it. When you do it. What did your parents think . Great oh, thank, god maybe youll lighten up now and maybe meet a man. She decided to join the groundlings the Legendary Comedy improv group. For eight long years struggled until landed a role opposite Kelsey Grammer on frazier but in rehearsals it wasnt working. When i got fired i thought, okay, so maybe this isnt meant to be. Acting in general . Yeah, like you get this huge opportunity and it didnt work out. Maybe youre just not one of those people for whom it works out. To pay the rent she took one last job, a walk on role ross a waitress on the sitcom mad about you. I dont recommend the clam clouder. Why . Were out of it. Kudrow was so funny became a recurring character. Friends was right around the corner. Youre a twin . Yeah, we dont speak. Shes like this high powered driven career type. What does she do . Shes a waitress. Ever think what your life would be like if you gone in to medicine or research. I would have been happy. Just as happy. Yeah, yeah. Now at 51, a wife and a mother, kudrow remains passionate about school, only instead of science now focused on getting art back in to the public curriculum. She was back in junior high an awkward girl with few friends who thought shed study evolution. High five. Turns out lisa kudrow has evolved quite nicely herself.

Which used variety of measures to determine the ten best places to live for liberals, conservatives and even centrists, we dont have time for all 30 just top three towns for each persuasion. For liberals, third place goes to somerville, massachusetts, outside boston. Second is hoboken, new jersey, just across from manhattan. First place no further than berkeley, california. For conservatives, the best places are a bit more off the beaten path. Third is clinton, utah, just outside ogden. Second is crestview, florida, right in the middle of the panhandle. And finishing first, alabaster, alabama, fast growing suburb of birmingham. So where is the middle of the road centrist. How about indio, california, a desert town east of los angeles. For second place bend, oregon, near the cascade range. Or else that centrist oasis, first place, Spokane Valley in eastern washington. Coming up had what it took to be a good marine. How could you tell that . He was determined. ,,,,,,,, osgood for parents of fallen warriors do whatever they can to keep the memory of their children alive. Which is why one mother is taking such extraordinary steps for colin. David martin has her story. Ballet dancers with all their grace and fluidity would seem toe in habit a different universe than marines. You can call marines a lot of thing, but graceful would not be one of them. Hard to imagine for most people i think two more different worlds. Exactly. Amy wolfe, the director of the manassas ballet theater in virginia has lived in both worlds. Are they really that different . Not at all. You can even take the word corps, marine corps and corps of ballet, marine corps, they are altogether as one body. Fighting together. Ballet corps all dancing together as one body. Amys son colin grew up dancing. Which combined with his slight stature earned him more than his fair share of teasing as a teenager but then he joined the marines. 18, right out of high school. Next day. That doesnt exactly sound like a logical progression, 15yearold ballet dancer, 18yearold marine, how did that happen . September 11th, 2001. Really . Reel glee that was his inspiration. That was his crystallizing moment. Turns out ballet dancer make good marines, at least this one did. He definitely had what it took to be a good marine. How could you tell that . He was determined. He would always ask me what else key do to better him. Did you know he had been a ballet dancer . No. No, i didnt know that. Steven hill and other marines in the unit didnt find out undill after colin was killed. His vehicle hit a roadside bomb in iraq in 2006. I ran up to the vehicle and tried to help them to to get him out. Were you able to . No. We werent able to. There was a huge fire on his side where he was at. So you just had to stand there and i tried as hard as i could to get the fire out with the fire extinquisher until it ran out. Now eight years later, hill is an unlikely presence in the rehearsal studio. As i explained im using ballet as a metaphor. Theres no way to mimic exactly what you did. Colins mother has put to dance the short life and violent death of her son from, basic training to his burial at Arlington National cemetery. It was a chance encounter with colins parents at his gravesite that brought hill in to the world of ballet. I went to visit him at his grave, i was taking my time, talking to him. I saw a car pull up and then they got out and started walking in my direction, oh, man,ly dont come over here. You were afraid it would be his parents. I was very afraid because i wasnt ready to face em. I still felt guilty. Did you tell them you were there when he was killed . Yeah. Im pretty sure i told them that i was right behind him when it happened. Did they want to know any more at the time . They didnt ask. And if they had i wasnt ready to tell. But once she decided to create the ballet, colins mother wanted to know everything. Did i also want to know exactly how he died, absolutely. Because that is in the ballet. Doesnt doing Something Like that guarantee that youre going to be prisoner of these painful memories . Colin became alive again and therefore, for me, colin died again. This fulllength ballet has been torture. The role of colin is danced by Joshua Burnham who some 27 years old exactly the age colin would be today if he had lived. He is the perfect fit for colin. She brought in one of his dress uniforms for me to put on, it was like it had been tailor made for me. Except for the hair. Amy wolfe was the obvious Perfect Choice for the role of collins mother. But would she have the heart. Right now i am rehearsing. I am doing my role. But i have not decided if i am the one who will perform it. I think she needs to dance the part. We had a talk, i told her, there is no one that can em bot ethos emotions the way she can. The ballet opens with the worst night of her life. The night she learned colin had been killed. My husband and i were in bed, i had not slept at all that night. People say mothers in tuition. It was 4 30 in the morning and the door bell rang. Her husband went to the window. He looked out the window and said amy, its two marines. Two real marines would play the part. You would pretend to say we are so sorry but yesterday, you know, colin was killed in action. For the preview performance more real marines would be in the audience including colins commanding officer. What do you hope his fellow marines get from this ballet . I hope they will stop wishing that they had been the one who had died. I hope that they will say i need to make the most of my life because i was spared and i am meant to do good things. And there she is, dancing the role of her lifetime, heartbreak and love with every step. Every death helps those of us who are left behind to come together, to reach out to each other, to love each other better. It is sad that sometimes we have to grieve in order to love better. But it is true. Osgood ahead, must see tour. Osgood you dont know what youve got until its gone, from the Joni Mitchell song. Its not always true. At least not for one boy our Steve Hartman has met. 9yearold ben pierce from denton, texas, isnt blind. Hes just preparing for that eventuality. Born 17 weeks premature, ben suffers from a condition that slowly stealing his sight. s already lost his peripheral vision and his parents, dan and heidi, say the rest may soon follow. Our goal became, what can we help him experience to, we sat him down said, what do you think you want to see, what is on your wish list . Are you excited . The last year, the pierces have been crossing sites on bens before i go blind bucket list. They have explored everything. From the depths of arizona to high above alaska. From places they can go in their van. To far away. I have no idea. Me either. The kid is nine. Which is also reflected in the list itself. We tried to stay very true to exactly what he said. It was weird. Inside of a water tower. Wanted to see the inside of the apple store. His enthusiasm about seeing these things, his joy is contagious. Today is chalk under a microscope. Yes, that was actually on the list. Thats your chalk dust. His parents are trying to cram in different visuals as we can. Well be able to talk about what the ocean is like. He will remember in his mind what it looks like. Its a gift he may never be able to fully appreciate. At least, so i thought. You realize how lucky you are that your parents are helping make all this happen . He considered that for quite awhile. Then asked me a question. Do you have a pencil . As his parents later explained. When ben finds a question too emotional to answer, he prefers to draw it out. Eventually he handed me a full sheet of doodles which included the word aurora as in borealis, tattle guy saying, wow, the words, ipad from dad. All these people. Ben may be losing his eyesight he clearly sees what hes got. Osgood ahead. Beautiful story, i love the story. Osgood Bradley Cooper bringing his dream to broadway. Later im not doing this to go back to jail. Campaigning for a comeback. Just 5 minutes. Un osgood its sunday morning on cbs. Here again is Charles Osgood. Osgood thats Bradley Cooper dancing with Jennifer Laurence in the 2012 movie that earned him an oscar Silver Linings play book his latest role is very different and as he explains to Serena Altschul the realization of long standing dream. You were in grade school when you came here . Oh, yeah. There was an organ down there, would come in between shows. Completely redid this. Wow. When Bradley Cooper was a kid in the philadelphia suburbs, hed sit for hours in this theater watching movies with his dad. When you sat here in this theater as a kid, did you think at all, like, id love to be an actor . 100 , yeah, it was a joke. For people around mona this little kid was saying im going to be an actor. His father, charles, who passed away three years ago works show him classic films. Apocalypse now and deer hunter taxi driver. You were young. Like 11 other 12. I was excited because he was excited. Nearly 30 years later, roles in films like American Hustle Silver Linings playbook and the hang over the night the four of us. Made cooper one of the biggest movie stars in the world. And dont forget People Magazine once named him sexest man alive. What did your mother say . She was excited. But it his fathers insistence on watching one particular movie that changed everything. When i saw the elephant man i knew it. It crystallized. This is what i want to do with my life. The 1980 film stars john hart, Anthony Hopkins and anne bancroft. American writer, Bernard Pomerance told his version in that 1977 play. Both tell the true story of a severely deformed london man named joseph merrick, john in the film and play, who is put on display as an attraction in a freak show known as the elephant man. Something about this guys spirit that is connected with people and it connected with me in a pretty fundamentally profound way. The story left such an impression on cooper that he performed the role of merrick for his masters thesis in drama school in new york, his research led him to england. Honestly, it was something that sort of over took me. It wasnt a big planned thing, i thought i was going to do the thesis. Wait a second, get a round tryptic it. Made his way to the hospital where merrick lived was studied until he died in 1890 at the age of 27. I was crossing white chapel road, walked in the gardens that he walked at midnight. Incredible. Coopers interest continued to grow. In 2012 he brought his interpretation to the highly regarded Williams Town theater festival in massachusetts. Was that dream born in williamstown or hatched a long time. To do it on broadway . Yes. Im someone who thinks that i never thought id be able to do the elephant man on broadway. Guess what, hes on broadway now. So, this is kind of a dream come true for you. Yeah. Its absolutely surreal. Its been a surreal two years since we last caught up with the 39yearold native of jenkintown, pennsylvania. Just before he was nominated for an oscar for Silver Linings playbook. This is what i believe to be true. You have to do everything you can. You have to work your hardest. If you do, if you stay positive, you have a shot at silver lining. Bradley cooper. He earned second nomination for American Hustle. If i really wanted to [bleep] bother you this is what id do. Still in 7th heaven. The oscars are a long way from reenacting movies as a kid in his back yard. Just walk, which my mother hated. Thank you. Movies like platoon or stand by me it was all about train tracks. So me and my friends would pretend we were in stand by me. And his strong philly roots always draw him back to family and friends. The older you get, you start to appreciate where you came from. And when i was living here i thought, i didnt feel the way i do now. Now i just love it. I dont want to let it go. Now, the kid from the small town suburbs of philly has taken the role that changed his life to the biggest stage in the world. You get to do it the way we want to do it, which is sit down, just a regular stage, about the relationship between a character. So many things to say. Youre so beautiful. Cooper twists and contorts his body to become merrick alongside so star patricia clarksoz i noticed your fingers are tied up, youve got a shoulder going down. Your whole body changes. Yeah. Thank you for coming. Is that exhausting at the end of the show . Yeah, it is exhausting. Its exhausting but i have to say, talk to me after 110 performances. I will. Its exhausting but i love it so much, i have to say that it feels like such an honor, i know that sounds cheesy, every time i do it i feel lighter afterwards. What does it take to do a role like this versus phil. Easier than some ways and exponentially more difficult. Easier because its a real person. Whenever you are playing a real person, i finished playing chris kyle, something when do you that its not about you any more theres whole reservoir of energy that i didnt know that i had. You are giving over, like every night before, i really do have a moment with merrick and thank him hope i do right by him. Not so much a feeling than playing character has just been created. You feel a sense of responsibility . Very much so. When the curtain goes up this friday, Bradley Coopers fascination with the elephant man just might come to a close. Let it go. You need to stop telling the story. Everybody knows the story. Maybe youre finding something new in it. You know what, im going to be 40 in january. He died at 27, almost 28. So i think this is probably the swan song of merrick for me. Still, one things for certain, his fathers presence will be with him just as it was all of those years ago. I feel my dad all the time. Yeah, i mean, i feel him constant glee what do you think he would think about you opening on broadway with the elephant man . We be so excited. Osgood ahead.

Mo rocco joined buddy cianci on the campaign trail. Im going to make the bus this morning. Good to see you. Buddy cianci isnt just selling pasta sauce today hes selling himself as mayor of providence, rhode island. Yet again. I think theyre all every day, absolutely. Ciancis good at running for mayor. Hes been elected six times before. Help us out here, you can do that. What is the recipe for revitalized providence . Leadership. Vision and experience, simple. The demographics have changed. Suffer has. But not the ingredients in the sauce here. But at 73, this isnt the same buddy that left office tin 2002, for starters theres something missing. Why did you get rid of the toupee . Well, you know, i didnt feel a need for it any more. There was no need to wear it any more. What you she is what you get. And by the way a lot of people say i look better without that squirrel on my head. You did call eight squirrel. It was my pet. I named it the squirrel. But baggage buddy cianci carries from his 21 years in the Mayors Office may be a little harder to lose. I will support the constitution and laws of the United States. His first go around in city hall ended in disgrace in 1984. Punch him, hit him, slapped him and kicked him repeatedly. After he pled no contest to assaulting the man cianci suspected was having an affair with his estranged wife. At one point he hurls an ash tray at the man. The man ducks. He tries too club him with a fireplace log. Did i pick up a log. I threw it in the fireplace. Insisted to me that he simply threw the log in to the fireplace. Total fabrication. Next tried to club him tried to club him. Jumped in and stopped him. Theres nothing new about my past. No one is going to get a pulitzer prize. No one is going to get an emmy by talking about not going to get it, its hardly worth not breaking news. Say the Education System his second stretch as mayor started in 1991 and ended in 2002 with conviction for racketeering that landed him in jail for four and a half years. You will not acknowledge that you did anything knowingly wrong to put you in there. I will tell you that talk to the jury. The jury found me not guilty of all charges except one. Im not saying they didnt make mistakes, i did. Buddy will tell you only got him on one count that one count counted. Racketeering conspiracy, masterminding criminal inter price out of city hall. Which is exactly how the judge described providence under cianci. With bribery, extortion and pay to play were business as usual. Cianci a republican turned independent was released from prison in 2007. Shouldnt have gone to prison. Under the system of law that we have, yeah, i guess youre supposed to pay the price. Ive always proclaimed my this innocence. Your political record, what are your proudest achievements . One proudest achievement i have, raising selfesteem of the people of the city of providence to the level they never thought they could achieve. Fair enough. Providence under cianci in the 1990s boomed. Hundreds of millions of investment dollars poured in to the city, a bustling river front district was created along with nationally recognized arts and restaurant scenes. Money magazine named providence one of the best places to live in america. It does get credit for being a good cheerleader when it end went renaissance. Providence has been the step child to boston, the smudge on the highway to cape cod as wall street journal once called us. Memories. Good buddies that kept hope alive for another return to office. Does it bother you that he spent time in prison . Buddys past isnt out of sync with state with his tore rear of so much corruption it was once dubbed, rogues island. The crimes for which you were convicted are people of rhode island just used to that kind of thing . Well, there is a bit of jadedness about it. Theres a whole congo line of rhode island politicians who have been indicted. Excons have been elected in other cities, is there another situation that is comparable to this one . I think buddy has long center tradition of political rogues in america. James Michael Curry who was reelect from jail cell. Huey long, marion barry,. Thank you very much. A little bit of funny business behind the scenes is inevitable in City Government . I think in this day and age, especially with me, where ive been, what ive been through with the experience ive had, no, i dont think thats allowable. I dont think thats necessary to run a government. You think zero toll glans absolutely. Zero tolerance. Impossible. Im not doing this to go back to jail. I know im going to be one of the closest watched administrations probably in american history. If they find anything wrong they will send Seal Team Six in. His opponent jorge elorza hopes. This is my first campaign. I was a judge past four years i stepped down to launch the campaign, its been a great experience. A recent poll has him comfortably ahead. About 24 years since he ran a competitive race. Frankly demographically the city has changed since then. Also the sensibilities in the city. We dont want to return back to the paid to pay politic of the past. Buddy cianci. Best hope may be that voters remember providences glory days. His only other hope may well be divine providence. Do you think hes going to win . I dont know that he will win. He has an uphill battle. That is against him. This is his life, the city of providence. People always say, dont count buddy cianci out. Osgood here is a look at the week ahead on our sunday morning calendar. Monday, is National Sandwich day. A celebration of the breaded snack invented by the fourth earl of sandwich back in the 1700s.

Insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. Osgood vote or not to vote. That is the question some americans have been asking themselves about tuesdays election. Nancy giles knows her answer. As soon as i was hold enough, i was poised and eager to cast my first vote, especially in a showy, sexy election like president , carter versus reagan. And later mayor of new york city, dinkinsguiliani, the toll dogs. In my mind they werent ones that made things happen. Im embarrassed to admit that those other offices, the members of congress, state legislature, local school board, none of those races grabbed my attention or interest. But the dismal performance of the current congress, the 113th, really got my attention. Between shutting down the government mr. Speaker it is now midnight and the great government of the United States is now closed. Countless times to repeal or change the Affordable Care act after it became law. On this house floor we voted over 50 times to repeal it. And being on track to be least Productive Congress in 20 years, i finally realized that those little local representatives i never paid attention to play a huge part in running the country. The ledge enterry tip oneill, former speaker of the house said, quote, all politics is local. I thought i got it. But now i get it. Bills that become law on the state or local level often have National Impact from restrictive voter i. D. Laws to raising minimum wage to, new gun laws and not to be forgotten, gerrymandering, the drawing and redrawing of local districts to help ininsure that a particular party gets a majority of votes. They make up the house of representatives which has a direct impact on how and if our government runs. Remember high school . Classes, surprise quizzes and half way through the year mid terms. If you flunked you had a good chance of flunking the class. Well, the mid term elections are just days away and if youre 18 or older, if you dont vote in the mid term elections, if you dont participate and do your part to insure that our democracy is truly a representative one, ive got news for you. That will be way worse than failing a class. Youll be failing yourself and your country. So vote. Every election counts. Osgood contributor nancy giles.
