Osgood as you heard Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died yesterday at the age of 79. His passing marks the end of a remarkable career. It also portends a contentious fight to replace him. Heres marcia teichner. I could be charming and cattive at the same time. Two. I love to argue. It may well be that im something of ashinekicker. Antonin scalia has been described as blunt, wit tee, scathing, sarcastic and even by his adversaries brilliant. He will be remembered as one of the most consequential judges supremer. He believed in what he called originallallism. That the u. S. Constitution should be interpreted exactly as the Founding Fathers understood it. This is what he told lesley stahl in a 60 minutessism interview. Im not saying no progress, im saying we should progress democratically. You think there ought to be a right to abortion, no problem. The constitution says nothing about it. Create it the way most rights are created in a democratic seat, pass a law. In three decades, on the Supreme Court scalia shaped conservatism. The 2008 ruling stating for the first time that the 2nd amendment gave americans the right to own a gun for self defense, one of his many majority opinions. His dissents were often withering. The opinion legalizing gay marriage he said, is as preten egotistic. Whenever anyone questioned the courts decision in bush versus gore, the case that determined the outcome of the 20000 president ial election, he relied we did the right thing. So there. [ laughter ] born in trenton, new jersey, Antonin Scalia grew up in new york city in queens. The only child of an immigrant from sicily. He met his wife, maureen, while he was at harvard law school. Devoted catholics, they have nine children. President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the Supreme Court in 1986. As prickley ascii be, scalia was well liked among his colleagues. I attack ideas. I dont attack people. And some very good people have some very bad ideas. His best friends on the court, liberal justices elena kagan and ruth bader ginsburg. Together on an elephant. As annoyed as you might be about his zinging dissent hes so utterly charming. So amusing, so sometimes outrageous, you cant help but saying, im glad that hes my friend or hes my colleague. He always insisted that his judicial philosophy was dictated by the constitution only. But his death instantly turned the political arena bloody. I plan to fulfill my Constitutional Responsibilities to nominate a successor. Another obama Supreme Court appointment could tip the 54 majority from conservative to liberal. The republicans position, absolutely clear at last nights g. O. P. Debate. In south carolina. I think that we ought to let the next president of the United States decide. The senate needs to stand to give up the u. S. Supreme court for a generation by allowing barack obama to make one more liberal appointee. Delay, delay, delay. Antonin scalia loved a good fight. The battle over who names his successor on the Supreme Court will be huge. Osgood coming up. Where the polar bears are. Terry bradshaw . What a surprise you out of nowhere. Mon let and talk about it. And did you know that one in three people will get shingles . all no. M reminding people if you had chickenpox then the shingles virus is already inside you. all oooh. S had chickenpox . Scoot over.

How do you eat healthier, while you enjoy life and lose weight . Now you can do it all with one simple plan. The allnew smartpoints from weight watchers. Our most advanced plan ever. Join for free and lose ten pounds on us. Osgood appreciating one of our continents most remarkable creatures requires a little northern exposure. Our cover story reported now by lee cowan. On the edge of Canadas Arctic along the western shore of hudson bay, its easy to think youve reached the end of the earth. In fact you can feel like youre utterly alone up here. But then, out in all that white, a pair of sleepy dark eyes slowly open. Revealing what we came all this way to see. And apparently, the Worlds Largest land predator, came to see us, too. How rare is this to see here . Well, its pretty common to see polar bears out here this time of year. But its not as common to see a big old male like that come ray down next to the buggy. Its pretty impressive sight. The buggy is a tundra buggy, a cross between a tour bus and monster truck. And its where Steve Amstrup does much of his work as chief scientist for polar bears international. A private group campaigning for the bears conservation. Look at here hes getting up. What do you think when that . Well, you know, ive been working with polar bears for 35 years now. And i still, every time i see real wild polar bear. Theyre just incredible creatures. Were near churchill, manitoba, a Frontier Town that calls its the polar bear capital of the world. It is isolated to be sure, you cant even get to this town by road. But every fall these giants of the north come here in droves to wait for hudson bay to frees back over so they can start eating again. The polar bears main source of food is seal meat, the eastiest way to hunt from the ice above. Theyre choi line grows on land, another migration rolls up to watch. A quiet stampede of ecotourists anxious to catch a glimpse of an animal whose future is as hotly debated as Climate Change in the United States, we have listed polar bears as a threatened species under the u. S. Endangered species act. They were listed as threatened not necessarily because of their current status, but because of what we anticipate their future status to be. And what he anticipates their future status might be has amstrup worried, but he knows not everyone is wringing their hands. Currently its estimated there are between 025,000 polar business in the wild. To many thats a sizable number and some of the bears, especially in the upper reaches of the arctic seem to be doing quite well. They lose about a kilogram of body weight or two pounds of body weight for every day theyre on land. Every day. What concerns amstrup the most are the bears here. Who he says are experiencing the effects of Climate Change right now. These guys are on land now a whole month longer than they were just 30 years ago. Population might be doing well now but we know that soon, all of the populations will have less sea ice than they do now, some of them will have no sea ice. Those who track sea ice levels, like the National Snow and ice data center, say the seasonal ice here in the southern most region of the polar bears habitat is already melting earlier and freezing later. That means bears are marooned on land longer and getting hungrier. How long has he gone without eating a full meal . They came ashore this year i think about the middle of july. So he really hasnt had much to eat since then. In november, when weep were there, the bears were spend can most of their time just lounging about, trying to conserve energy, which makes them pretty easy to find and photograph. Lets face it, nothing makes for better photo op than a while they look as friendly as they are fuzzy, truth is, they are one of natures perfect killing machines. Theyre enormous size and strength are part of the allure. So many people have told me now this is their bucket list. Kevin burke one of churchills few locals and he takes great joy in showing tourists his frozen back yard. A loft activity lately as the new ice forms in the bears are out checking the ice, lets go down there and check it out. He drives one of those tundra buggies for frontiers north an adventure Tourism Company providing bungledup enthusiast the chance of a lifetime. Oh, my, god. The bears dont seem to mind the in trucks in fact many are down right curious of the continue bra buggies. On occasion a bit too curious. Years ive watched they will push back get on the ground and walk along stuff like that. My opinion is, i dont think we smell all that appealing to them. We night not smell too appealing but the food in town does. Theyre warning signs posted everywhere, reminding the towns residents to be bear aware as they call it and we quickly found out why. Theyre getting way to close to mike now. This mom and her two cubs wandered right up behind us on a busy road just outside of town. Mike. Mike. She came within few feet of our camera, dont need to be chased by another car of lookie lews back into the trees. Is it safe to walk around churchill . Id say its safe to walk around churchill in the day. I wouldnt say so at night. Conservation officer. Them walking. His job . To keep polar bears away from people. Which is a good sign. We want that to happen. If they cant scare the nuisance bears away, they capture them. So back here is where we keep one of our traps. 5006 of the bears that we capture have been at this trap. The wayward bears are brought here to what the locals call, polar bear jail. To make sure theyre not tempted to come back to up to again the bears are given no food. Just water. We dont want them to associate neighborhood to humans or to that building. Were going to hold them nor 30 days. Thats 30 days closer to the time the ice is going to form on the bay which is when they are also 0 days away from the problem behavior that caused them to go there in the first place. When their sentence is up theyre tranquilized then airlifted back out into the tundra. Not lost on anyone here is the Carbon Footprint left behind by those who travel all this way to witness all things polar bear. All l the tourists that show up does that help or snort. I think that for many people seeing something in person, seeing how things are now and hearing how they used to be. In seeing the magnificent species of the polar bear right in front of them, suddenly they can become inspired in a way that they might never have become inspired before. I studied polar bears in alaska and one of the last things that i did was predict that they were going to disappear. So, its a little hard for me to talk about to think that they might be gone. I dont want to think about that. So i want to do what i can to stop it. And i think we are, i think we are making progress. Most agree progress was made at the global Climate Change conference in paris l year. When representatives of 195 nations agreed, for the very first time to, lower planetwarming greenhouse gasses. In the meantime, the polar bears here, and all around the vast reaches of the arctic, will continue to do what they have always done. Survive the best they can in whatever conditions are thrown their way. Osgood ahead. Was the first cousin. The ninth generation of president Thomas Jefferson and osgood all the president s relatives.

I have asthma. One of many pieces in my life. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you. See if youre eligible for 12 months free at mybreo. Com.

They found camaraderie between one another that is pretty amazing, you know. It was kind of a story of, my grandpa beat your grand pennsylvania but we can be friends now. Inman was in the fourth grade when our 41st president came to town. President george h. W. Bush visited marshfield july of 1991. I really became interested in the president.

And who knows what new connections might be made. Maybe im related to Thomas Jefferson, too. He did have a loft kids. You never know. Youre part of the family, pop on, cuz. Osgood still to come. Chris isaak sings his heart out. And later, lady gaga with osgood wicked game was a 1990 chris isaak hit about obsessive love. All these years later songs about love still draw a crowd. Tracy smith talks with chris isaak for the record. On a bonechilling day in San Francisco a few weeks back, hundreds of people stood in the cold just to see local boy, chris isaak, run through a sound check. The show was still hours away, but isaak was at his mellow melancholy best. I bet you never even know they do but somebodys crying for more than 30 years the making hits and breaking hearts. Crooning about bad break ups and lost love with the signature sound thats part rock, part elvis and all sexy. So many of your songs are about heartache. Why is that . Thats what brings out the most emotion in this world. Love or lack of. When youre hearts broken i think thats about as most emotional as it gets. Isaak says this song, his hunting 1989 single wicked game came to him one night in a flash. It was very fast i wrote that song. How fast . A certain woman and hung up the phone and the time she rang the front door bell in the middle of the night. I had written that song. Knock it off, really . It was very fast. Very fast. The song was first big hit and helped make him an instant sex symbol. But the steamy music video that went with it shot on location in christianson was even hotter than it looked. Behind us people thought it was like a smoke added in the back projection or Something Like that. Thats actually were standing about 30 feet from the water on a lava flo it was flowing boot ocean behind us and boiling up, steam. We could have got killed. It was blowing up big like thongs of molmet like lava. Every once in awhile we go like into the air everybody was like, heads up. Oh, my, goodness. You risked your life for that video. Yeah. I learned something. Just because theres a camera running doesnt mean you wont get killed. Truth is not much scares him any more. Chris isaak grew up on the tough side of stockton, california, the youngest of three boys. Dad drove a forklift. Mom was a factory worker who stretched every paycheck by shopping at the local thrift store. Wasnt just going for fun we would thats where we got our clothes and we got everything. My grandparents grew up here. My great grandparents are here. And i dont know how usually in a town when you have somebodys great grandparents there, they own the town. In my town we managed to stay generation. I dont know, that was excuse me, one second. That might fit. Try it. Not me. I got a big head. Hes worn a lot of different hats. In college he was an amateur boxer and made amateur music with a guitar his big brother, nick, had taught him to play. One night he says, teach me what you know. And i taught him everything i know. It took 15 minutes. Those guitar lessons stuck. Isaak has been touring since the 80s still plays every show like its his last. Hes taking a break for the occasional movie and tv role. Including his own cable tv show. Ill be right back. Adios. Isaak to the real chris isaak . How close is bullwinkle to a real moose . Spanned times when hes not singing for a crowd, chris isaak sings here. At his boyhood home in stockton. With his now 85yearold mom, dorothy. Then usually at the end she dances for quarters. He still comes home and does things around the house for you. Cleans the yard. He cleans the yard . I miss that. Thats true. When hes on the road you dont get that treatment. Im a good yard worker. His own back yard is a few miles away in San Francisco. Yet his favorite surfing beach. How much time do you spend out here . I try to get out as often as i can. Surgeon, im a songwriter, nobody needs me during the day. He is usually out here alone hes never been married but that doesnt mean he cant commit. Isaak has been with some of the guys in his band for Something Like 30 years. Drummer Kenny Dale Johnson never missed a gig until an illness nearly broke up the act. Kenny got cancer he took off a little while and hes come back. Theres happy ending to it. Hes good. Hes over it. Cancer free . Cancer free. That gets you. Scares the hell out of me. Turns out the great loves of chris isaaks life, besides his family, are his band mates. Singing his heart out. You were joking with your mom about how you guys wept out and played and some guy said, oh, yeast, thats chris isaak. Thats a true story. What did you say. My brother said, girls turns to the guy says, thats chris isaak. The guy said, yeah, he used to be big. He used to be big. Does that bug you . Not at all. I think its fun. Its funny. Im not at all bothered, im really happy with the way my life has gone. Because you joke dont want to tempt the gods down here because if they do they look, that guy, hes had too much luck. Everything good here, boss. Everybody good here. Doing great. Osgood just ahead, comedian, paul reiser. Its valentines day again. Osgood not quite feeling the love. With noninsulin victoza. P for a while, i took a pill tor lower my blood sugar. T but it didntr get me to my goal. P so i asked my doctor about victoza. R he said victoza works differently than pills. And comes in a pen.

If your pill isnt giving you the control you need ask your doctor about noninsulin victoza. Its covered by most health plans. Osgood now does anyone not love valentines day . Lets let actor and comedian paul reiser count the ways. Well, here we are. Its valentines day again and i have to say, i find the whole thing irritating. Not because im a curmudgeon or antilove, quite the opposite. Ill a big fan of love. I just dont like being told by strangers that i have to demonstrate it on this day in the following ways. Unless youre in the flower, chocolate, jewelry or greeting card business, i dont see how you benefit if youre a grown up if youre in second grade, sure. Why not give a sweetheart shaped card and piece of candy to the cute girl two rows behind you. Thats been ruined by the whole mandatory, we dont want anyone to feel left out so give cards to the whole class approach. Because nothing says, i think youre special, i made 34 of these. For young people its sweet. Because they dont know anything yet. But for grownups, ive learned that these grand, lovely gestures invariably mean nothing. Yes, forgetting spread can be bad. But remembering it not that much better. The half life of lovely gestures is shockingly short. Whatever goodwill you think youll entender only lasts until it all goes bad. This. You do something loving and moved. And demonstrably affectionate in return, all good. Next day, one carelessly worded where you started. You think, what about the flowers and the candy . Yeah, that was yesterday. I didnt care for what you said this morning. You have to ask, whats the point of a great sunday if its all shot to hell by monday . Its like vacuuming the beach. You never really make any progress. Fortunately one of the first things my wife and i bonded over when we first met, ironically, was our mutual distaste for valentines day. We both felt its far more meaningful to be affectionate, tholeful and considered the other 364 days of the year. Thats the more noble challenge. In our house we dont even celebrate valentines day which is great relief. Having said that, im going to pick up some flowers anyway, because, why take a chance. Story. Hey how s it going, hotcakes . Hotcakes. This place has hotcakes. So why aren t they selling like hotcakes . With comcast Business Internet and wifi pro, they could be.

Osgood xs and os are the marks of a football play, a game of tictactoe or a love letter. Serena altschul now sells us keeping the love letter alive is the goal of stage play with uniquely qualified cast. My father says everyone should write letters as much as they can. Its a dying art. He says letters are a way of presenting yourself in the best possible light to another person. I think that, too. Forget about texts and tweets. The oldfashioned love letter is having its moment again in a National Tour of ar gurneys 1989 play love letters. Oh, andy, could i see you . Youre all i have left. Audience around the country have been lining up to see ali mcgraw and ryan oneil, starcrossed lovers melissa and andy. I went to a psychiatrist id talk about you. Seriously, i would. I think about you quite often. Its the first time the two have worked together since love story the legendary 1970 tear jerker that was a box office smash. Im sorry. Love means never having to say youre sorry. We step out, the audience murmurs. They murmur because they know us. They remember us. Their lives changed inman aways when they saw that movie. They married or they had children or they named their children after us. Please hold me. I believe that the audiences, whether its conscious or subconscious are throwing themselves back those 40 years, which for most of us much more romantic, so much more full of hope than it is right now. Nostalgia is in the air as oneil and mcgraw play characters reading the letters they sent one another over the course of 50 years. Merry christmas and happy new year and much love. Much love . Much love . God, andy, how sexy. Playwright ar gurney. If you think their relationship could exist today over text and emails . I dont think so. I dont think so. How is a letter written by email different than a handwritten ink because it doesnt have the personal nature of the penmanship. It doesnt have the sense of thought, since when youre writing with a pen, youre thinking about what youre doing. The page are very powerful essences for me. Like poetry. And truth. And guts about feelings. Real courage. Not just platitude. I wrote you every day for a year. You wrote me . Yes. From the notebook. It was you to cyrano de bergerac who understood the power of words. The dear foolish words. That was you. Love letters have long had special place in our hearts. But in this era of always on, instant communication, are love letters destined to go the way of the rotary phone. Dennis depcik worries they are. He and his wife, maggie, were married for 41 years. Shortly after she died, dennis found a mysterious box in the closet. I brought the box down and put it on the bed and opened it. Stunned. In that box were all the letters that maggie and i had written to each other when i was in the army. There were 119 letters in that box. Please dont apologize for not being able to answer all my lettersy want to you feel that you owe me a letter. I write you because i enjoy it, silly. And just seeing that handwriting and knowing that it was always there through our entire married life just brought her back to me. My hands were shaking. Tears were rolling down my eyes. It was just amazing. Patrick geraghty and christie da mel never wrote letters to one another but that didnt stop their romance from blossoming. When it came time to find a gift for the couples first anniversary, patrick got creative. Patrick printed those Text Messages and had them bound in a hard cover album. Thousands of messages chronicling their entire relationship from the day they first met to their first anniversary. This is two weeks in. Youre amazing. How do we manage this. This is so unreal. Then you can retain me. We said that, thats so embarrassing. Is that something important to you that you have this concrete thing now . I think so. I think its a nice little history, especially, one day when were not here you know our kids have this they can kinda look back how mom and dad met and the conversation, is that they had. Some of it, but maybe not all of em. No. Even if writing love letters is going out of style, love letters, the play, seems as in the 5 years since it first appeared on broadway, its been staged hundreds of times in more than 40 countries. And then the show came to boston this month. Oneil and mcgraw returned to harvard. Remember us . Where that other couple theyre famous for playing first met and fell in love. I like to go to the movies rather than watching it on my laptop. Speaking to students, some still glued to their smart phones, they made the case for the oldfashioned way. Only with letter writing could it be communicated, i dont see how you could text this story to each other. This letter, which im writing with my own hand, with my own pen in my own penmanship comes from me and no one else. I dont think theyre going to go away. I dont think as a decades accrue that there are lot of put that time in. But there are some of us. You can tear me up and they me out or keep me. And read me. Today, tomorrow, any time you want until you die. Oh, boy, andy. Love melissa.

Steve hartman takes us to a museum for two. Around starkville, mississippi, retired mail carrier Charles Evans is known mostly for his questionable taste in lawn furnishings. But i came here for something undeniable beautiful. Charles met his wife louise back in 1949. When you looked at her it was like electrical shock. Really . I guess its love. To charles true love is so powerful nothing can stop it. Its a big four letter word. Nothing. Which is why after she died in 2011, after 60 years of marriage, he decide a grave marker wasnt enough. That their love deserved more than a monument, what their love needed was a museum. And so, in a little outbuilding behind his house, Charles Evans built just that. This is our memorabilia area. Inside hes got the shoe shine stand he was working at when he met her. Hes got all the music they used to dance to. And got four walls packed solid with pictures, documenting every significant occasion. And most every insignificant. Need goes to say he doesnt get whole lot of visitors which is fine by charles. The last dance. You get the sense he almost enjoys his alone time more. On slow days he slow dances with louise. I guess im trying to relive our life, wouldnt you think . Maybe. | its so hard to its not a suffering memory, its a beautiful memory. Sometimes people try to tell charles to move on. But in his mind, why would you want to make a bunch of new memories when the old ones are still so good. Yeah, she was lovely. Thats a beautiful picture osgood still to come, vocals by lady gaga.

And talk about. Ben tracy tells us more. Lady gaga p. Her haunting new song at billboards recent women in music event. Till it happens to you about surviving sexual assault. It was a work in progress by legendary songwriter diane warren for the documentary the Hunting Ground about rape on college campuses. But when gaga came on board she wanted to make the song even more powerful. The melody was beautiful but maybe it didnt go to the place that i felt that it needed to go for it to, at the end, arrive in a fry um pant place. You wanted this to be epic in the end. Till it happens to you, happens to you. Happens to you thats a warrior singing that. Thats a warrior. Thats a warrior. Till it happens to you the song is deeply personal to to both women because it happened to them. How emotional was this to record this song . I mean, i know i feel really and truly like i bared my soul. It wasnt until i am almost 27 years old that i didnt even acknowledge that this happened in my life. Oh, yeah, that. Both women say writing the song was a spiritual experience and it also led to a grammy and an oscar nomination. It is diane warrens eighth Academy Award nomination in a remarkable three decade long career. If i could turn back time. You may not know her name, you do know her songs. Dont want to miss a thing diane warren has provided the the biggest voices in music. Every time someone sings my song im excited, it sounds lot better than me. Because i suck. I was here, i lived, i loved i know what my job s. I know what my gig is. My job is to write a great song. She is a song writing machine. Warren has written more than 50 top 100 hits, 70 of them have cracked the top ten. Youve worked with everyone, faith hill, christina ago layer i cant, celine dion. There is country people, pop people, r d people. This is the studio . Yeah. When we visited her studio she told us she writes at least one new song every week. How many unrecorded hits do you think you have . Lot. A lot. Like hundreds, dozens . Dozens. Dozens. Yeah. That are better than some of the songs that ive had hits with. Really . Yeah. Her songs tend to touch on some common themes. How do i live without you associated with all these love songs. But romance is not your particular strong suit. No, i sleep with a cat. I do. I love my cat. Thats very direct. I just havent been like, in love like i want to sit and hear you breathe. I dont want somebody to hear me breathe, either, really . I could stay awake just to hear you breathing but it sounds good in the song. Great opening live. Like, i could stay awake just to hear you breathing. Ew. Shes been writing songs since she was 14 while growing up in a suburb of los angeles. Warren was always intrigued by the unfamiliar names on records and realized those were the songwriters. Her dad bought her a guitar but her mom did not think song writing was a real career. That only fueled warrens ambition. I know a place where we can dance the whole night away underneath electric stars her first big break out hit came in 1985 when she helped motown group debarge find the rhythm of the night. Feel the beat of the writ i am of the night dance until the morning light. For 30 years now, warren has written many of her songs inside this room at her office in los angeles. This is intense. Ive been here a long time. This is like episode of i love that. This is a time capsule. That black shelf was knocked down during an earthquake in 1994. She says she doesnt move anything because of a combination of superstition and laziness. Thank you for showing us this because i understand you dont let people come in here. No. You guys are like this doesnt happen. This is an exclusive. Dont want to fall asleep, thing youve been called the song whisperer. Do you like that . I love that. Because i think i am. You know, i think when i meet with an artist i kinda can feel it. I feel what that right song is. Even when the artist doesnt. Cher had no time for what would songs. Cher hated it. Hated the song. I got on my knees i will not let go. You will try this song. She goes, f you, diane. I can turn back time. You know when i believe in something, i cant stop, i dont know how to stop. Warren doesnt seem to mind that lady gaga turned out to be just as tenacious. Im always trying to make people uncomfortable and take them out of the comfort zone of what they create. And try to encourage them to change their process, to see what will happen when you are doing something that you dont expect of yourself. And thats i think what made this song great in the end is theres theres like a chaos, but a resolve. And thats us. Chaos. Absolutely. Shes just insanely talented. I thought she was going to shes just insanely talented. That crazy tall sent what has made diane warren such a force in music without ever singing a note. But its always going to be that one thing. What . The song. It comes down to the song and always will. Osgood next delicious. Osgood a hot, juicy, sexy serving of dessert. Thank you for calling. Well be with you shortly. Yeah right.
