And raise your hand if you agree that a comeback should include everyone. Osgood when children are dying of Rare Diseases that few people are work to be cure, a closer look is required. Which is just what one committed artist is providing. Our cover story is reported now his high wattage smile and infectious laugh may remind you of a favorite nephew, there is virtually no chance you have ever met a kid like him. Sam, who will turn six on tuesday, is one of just 250 people in the world who suffer from vanishing whites matter disease, a brain disorder that destroys white matter. A substance that h loss of motor control. There is no cure and the disease is typically fatal by the age of ten. Every birthday feels like another year less that you have. Dont turn six because youre getting closer to ten. So much we want to do with him. Allison buck and her husband, nick, have kept careful track in the three years since their has slowed down. What is your favorite part of being in school . Play time. And his ability to walk slowly eroded, leaving him now unable even to stand. I think its really hard for people to wrap their heads around the fact that a child as vibrant as sam could be dying. The bucks are trying to show sam as much of the world as left. Hes been to 30 states and 19 countries, from these mayan ruins in mexico, to meeting his hero, form mu one race car driver Sebastian Vittel in texas. Hes even managed to squeeze in a meeting with the duchess of cambridge. We dont want to waste all our time worrying about whats to come. We want to enjoy whatever time we have with him. It is not a pretty thought of kids suffering from Rare Diseases. 95 of all Rare Diseases have no Treatment Options at all. With so few people suffering from them, there is no incentive for research and development of a cure. Want to get it just perfect because it really means a lot. Thats a fact not lost lucas could also saw, an artist, a curator of beyond the diagnosis, a collection of intimate portraits of children with Rare Diseases, like bertrand. One of the first kids he pained for this traveling exhibit he was the first patient ever diagnosed with something called ngly1 deficiency. Bertrand has hundreds of seizures every day. I took the wheelchair out. I just made him look like he was real person that im dealing with. The objective is to humanize these diseases through portraits of kids like theodora who has a fatal heart condition. Meagan who suffers from a rare disorder that slows the blood flow to her heart and lungs. And hanna, who suffers from a rare form of epilepsy leading to progressive loss of motor skills. Maybe somebody will look at this and be inspired to maybe find a cure for i beyond the diagnosis, hopes to eventually put a face to all 7,000 of these Rare Diseases. Its ambitious. But were going to do it. The idea was hatched by ferrone trish sha weltin of the rare disease united foundation, whose two daughters suffer from Rare Diseases. You cant look at these not be moved. So far theyre up to 60 portraits by artists from around the world. Words. You dont just gee gauche disease you see noh. You dont just see moebius syndrome you see miriam. That was the point. I can accept that im in a wheelchair and thats where im going to be. They are the faces of duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare muscle wasting often fatal by age of 20. Most kids with my disability are on deaths row. Theyre basically towards the end of their lives. But the brothers have more hope than most kids suffering from a rare disease. An experimental drug seems to be helping, its not a cure, but it does seem to slow down the progression of the disease. Austin and max are two of roughly 100 children enrolled in cliff. Jennifer is austin and maxs mother. Shes seen austin able to maintain concern functions while on the drug and regain others like raising his arm above his head. Max, one of the first to get etiplersen, is still walking more than four years later. But in this world of rare disease, hope is an elusive commodity. The path easy in part because sample size is so small. Im uncomfortable with the evidence to date. Four months ago an f. D. A. Panel recommended against approving etiplersen until the Company Provided more data that the drug actually works. If that decision becomes final, it could threaten access to the drug for the leclaires. Its almost worse to be shown something that could treat your children then to be told it to just come to terms with having children that are ill. It creates conversations. Which brings us back to lucas and the moving way he hopes to keep attention focused on Rare Diseases and pressure on researchers and regulators who may be able to provide hope. And theyre trying to do the child justice and the family justice. When we first met him at his gallery in rhode island, lucas wasut touches on the portrait of sam buck, precise, delicate work using a syringe to form images, dot by dot. I get pretty involved with it. It becomes very difficult to actually paint. Because i start to fully understand what this kid is going through and what the family is going through. Then its no longer a portrait to me. Its really a personal experience. But even lucas didnt know how personal until he brought a look. Just incredible. How amazing is that . Who is that . Me . Now, vanishing white matter has a face. His personality really shows through in the painting. It does. You captured his joy. A sweet, darling face to put on this hideously cruel and destructive disease. Every cause needs a face. Yes. Thats a beautiful face. Y my dishes . Oh, he doesnt know any better. You just need to add finish . Jetdry . In the rinse aid compartment. Its there for a reason. It dries much better than detergent alone. Sorry dishwasher. Finish . Jetdry . For drier, shinier dishes. But theres so much more to it. Heres how benefiber . Works. Inside us are trillions of good microflora that support digestive health. The prebiotic fiber in benefiber . Nourishes them.

August 28th, 1908. 108 years ago celebrate. For that was the day writer, painter and naturalist roger tory petersen was born in jamestown, new york. A lover of birds from boyhood, petersen believed he could improve on the overly technical bird watching manuals of the time. Became evident that it was possible to identify almost any bird if you knew a few things to look for on each bird, the field wrote and illustrated his own field guide to the birds. It was published in 1934. Only 2,000 copies were printed and i was to receive no royalty on the first thousand. But for some reason the field guide just took off almost immediately was literally sold out within a week. When sunday morning visited him at his connecticut home in 1980, petersen was busy refining his bird paintings, confident that they were truer in their wa a photograph is a record of a split second that moment. And the painter offers a composite of his experience. Osgood president jimmy carter awarded petersen the President Shall medal of freedom that very same year, 1980. Appropriate since freedom is exactly what petersen envied about his subjects. Birds because they were wonderful creatures, they can fly, go where they wanted to when they wanted to, i wish i could do that. He died in 1996, a month shy of his 88th birthday. His field guides are still in print and still cherished by bird lovers everywhere. Osgood now some works in progress. Its an exhibit of unfinished works of art and just finished branch. New York Metropolitan Museum of anna warner is our guide. Its a new face for one of the nations largest and oldest art museums. And a new calling for a familiar new york City Cultural landmark. Welcome to met breuer. Why did the met, one of the worlds most visited museums, need another location . Modern contemporary art since its inception. Thomas campbell, the mets director and ceo. We want more space, we want to be more exploratory we want to do more. With that in mind the met went looking for a modern locale to expand its contemporary offerings, and found the perfect fixer upper around the corner, just a brief stroll away. And here we are, nine minute walk from the Main Building in a space that was modern and contemporary, so really it was a great gift. You may recognize it as the former home of the whitney museum, which recently moved to a new space in downtown manhattan. Its a landmark structure, designed by architect Marcel Breuer which opened in 1966 the hungarian born, german trained breuer, became wellknown for designs, come to be labeled brute list. Do you see a masterpiece . Absolutely. Im in love with this building. Sheena wagstaff, the mets chairman of contemporary and modern art had the job of taking this older, familiar space, and making viewers see it with fresh eyes. We wanted to take the Building Back to the way that Marcel Breuer designed it, that meant taking off cablings, all sorts of attachments in the walls. Even taking the gum out of the concrete, which was highly meticulous job. A mundane kind of problem, but it all adds up. Yes. The result is a stripped down, cleaner space. A building that lets the art speak for itself. Just the idea behind the called unfinished thoughts left visible. Many of the works in this room you can really see where the painter stopped. Andrea bayer and kelly baum are the cocurators featuring works left incomplete or given an unfinished look on purpose. They collected 200 pieces from the renaissance through today, from artist including da vinci, they allow us to see beneath the surface to earlier layers. Kelly. They give us profound insight into the artistic process. For example, this 1965 alice neil portrait of james hunter black, a vietnam draftee. She got as far as his face, neck and one of his hands. The rest of the pick sure she only sketched in. The sitter never returned for a second sitting. Yet, alice signed the painting on the back and exhibited it during her lifetime because she deemed this incomplete painting finished, perfect. The unusual search for incomplete works took these curators around the world, says andrea. We were looking at things, we had heard about things. We went and investigated them. When they grabbed us with their story, then we went forward with them. Sounds like a fascinating treasure hunt, art hunt for you. It tell historical stories like this painting by the 18th century french artist, jacqueslouis david. He we began this portrait of this young woman, madame de pastoret, the revolutionary war came. She and her husband were on the monarchy side, david was a strong revolutionary. And so the portrait could not be finished. There are certain details in it sewing, because theres no needle and thread there. So revolution made for an unfinished portrait. Political upheaval interrupted a work of art. So, what do we learn from looking at unfinished works of art . They allow us to imagine ourselves alongside the artist working in his or her studio, painting, scraping, editing, allow us to recreate the w work of art was made. The person who was making the work has to decide when it is finished. How they want to finish it. Are they capable of fin,ing it. These are questions that are at the heart of the making of any kind of art. Because art and sometimes even the museums that house it, youve got mail. Yes osgood still to come. Very powerful words. Osgood meg ryan on the summer screen. . And, her name is barbra. . Donald trump facing new criticism he appeared to mock a reporter with a disability. You gotta see this guy. uhhhh i dont know what i said, i dont remember. hes going like i dont remember. Putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing.

Its sunday morning on cbs, here again is charlesoo summer screen featured meg ryan in the romantic comedy sleepless in seattle. The new film this summer, meg ryan is making her mark out of camera range. Heres jane pauley on ryans career, past, present and future. Sorry generation to the romantic comedy. You realize that we could never be friends. In 1989, when harry met salie. This is not a come on in any way shape or form. Men and women can be friends, next part always gets in the way. I remember reading the script and thinking it was such a delight. The dialogue was so fast. I have a number of men friends theres no sex involved. , no you dont. Yes, do you. Well, you think you do. I read it i thought it was music that i would want to play. Are you okay . More than 25 years later, the deli scene is a hollywood classic. Oh oh oh, god, yes yes how many takes did that take . Day. Because by the end who cared who sound i made, just making all kinds of big sounds. Everybody was used to it by then in the textli. Ill have what shes having. . Ryans girl next door meets modern woman appeal paired with tom hanks in the 19 0s romantic comedies sleepless in seattle. And youve got mail. Very powerful words. Romantic comedies in particular, are not too funny. The notes you have to hit, you have to be kind of very specific. Its a very sort of refined little place you have to get to. In a great romantic comedy maybe the actress doesnt get her due professionally because, it just looks so natural. Those are the hard ones to do, though. Dont cry. Ryan made them look effortless, though she was not a trained actress. How did you become an actor . I was paying my way through journalism school. Jane, you scoffed when i said it before but you on television in the morning were such an so elegant, so funny, so smart. So out of her depth. So not out of her depth. So making everything accessible to everybody. I guess its hard to hear that but it is true. Thats pretty thrilling but, your past was meant to be dramatically otherwise . I guess so. Known as peggy hyra at new york university. Just have to tell you about arent you back to the most important reason to come to burger king. Go uptown and do auditions, i would write papers. I wrote a paper about my audition for a soap opera then i got the soap opera. Professionally meg ryan now, but better known to millions as pet see Stuart Montgomery andropoulus. Her first movie rich and famous sealed her fate as a hollywood actress. What was it doing there . It was in time magazine. You were the teenage daughter. Of candice bergen. That didnt make you just crave no. Fame and rich and never. I always felt like attention was too weird to nothing i ever you have ruined another thanksgiving. And parts kept coming. One of hollywoods top ten actresses in the 1990s. Billion dollars at the box office, not bad for an accidental movie star. Then what happened . It wasnt turn things down. I dont have to work, which is wonderful thing to be able to say. So i traveled instead. And ten years ago i adopted by little girl. I love being a mom. And thats a big part of my life. And i think sometimes as an artist, for me, anyway, i had to just i felt real desire to do nothing, to lay sort of fallow like a field, you know . And do other things, meet other people, have the terms of life be different than the terms of but meg ryan has learned, hollywood fame sets its own terms. My husband once said of public figures, what you withhold that blank you leave, people will fill it in. And they dont do it in your favor. That is true. Especially with the internet. If you leave if you leave vacuum, garbage will fill it. Its true. Ryans private life made quaid. The way she looked, or who she was seeing, ryan chose to stay above it all. Theres almost no win in any of the world of tabloid. Because if you as soon as you defend yourself theres more story. Then more story thats possibly a misnomer, too, so most of the time its just not worth it. So she concentrated on what what about your kids . Do you watch your movies with your kids . No. No. But meg ryan is excited about making movies again. Now at 54, shes behind the camera. On Marthas Vineyard where ryan spends her summers she introduced ithaca her first movie in the role of director. Im glad this little movie is going to make its way into the world. Its like a little poem on a the best messenger. Based on the William Saroyan novel the human comedy set during world war ii, the movies central character is a 14yearold boy on the cusp of a moon hood. Ryan plays his recently widowed mother. Ive always been more interested in being an observer. Directed, i felt like i came home to myself. With a score by former boyfriend John Mellencamp and featuring her 24yearold son jack quaid, veteran sam shepard and dear old friend tom hanks. Did he me this great favor by coming and playing this little part. At the end of the day, the crew comes around, i know weve gotten close in these i just want thank you for being here for my friend, meg, and her first experience. Thank you all. I mean, thats thats a friend. Ithaca opens in theaters next week. And meg ryan is planning her next project, a romantic comedy. And youre not in it . No. No. Just going to direct that. Well see if i can do it. Osgood tv or not tv. That is the question, next. Ladies, why just dream of worryfree nights . Im linda, and like millions of women worldwide i trust tena.

I do it because i love it. I love being san. That i love bringing smiles and joy and happy tons people. Notice nobody said, for the money. Because were not in it for the money. Exactly right. How fun is it, too . Thats right. My take away from our week in branson, yes, virginia, there really is a santa claus. In fact there are lots of them. Osgood ahead, meet ernies osgood ernies army is our name for the band of well wishers who have been cheering Steve Hartman has been following ernies journey, step by step. At the age of 9, this is what you call an accomplishment. Just making it down all four steps of the rv is quite a feat. But dont be too impressed yet. Because at 93, whats even more remarkable, is waking up at 5 00 a. M. For a nearly five mile run. But again, dont be too impressed yet. Because at 93 whats most amazing of all is that this just the final leg of a much, much longer run, that began almost three years and 3,000 miles ago at the pacific ocean. Im running the whole thing, every step of the way. Now, you can can impressed. First time we met ernie andrs he was just outside phoenix slowly inching his way through the sonoran desert. He would go five miles, get a miles later. All for one purpose. I want people to know what the war was all about and what it took to win it. Specifically this old navy man was running to raise awareness for an unsung hero of world war ii, a ship he served on called an lst or landing ship tank. Its how the allies got heavy equipment on to beaches. Theres one you can visit in evansville, indiana, and ernie thinks people really should go. This shouldnt be made a similar remark that its a ship that won the war. Won the war . Yeah. Without em, how could you have taken all those islands or even took normandy. Which is why 70 years later, ernie was out here returning the favor, all by himself. I just thought, how sad, if he had to be doing this journey by himself. But that joined him in mississippi. Ran in mississippi, alabama, he had quite a following the second time we saw him in waco, texas. But that was nothing compared to what we found last weekend in st. Simons where hundreds of people from across the country joined ernies army. Thank you so much. The American People are the most loving and generous people in the world. There he is three years ago most people thought there was no way a man in his 90s could make it across the country. You got this. Of the atlantic. And as this old sail or stormed the beach one last time, to fervent chants and flying colors, he showed us all that the greatest generation, is no less great today. [ cheering and applause ] .

Osgood her performance of the song snoot way we were is the stuff of legend as is everything about the long career of Barbra Streisand. With Anthony Mason this morning she goes back to where it all began. Opening night in this thear, me, youre never going to make it. Because youre too undisciplined. . In her first broadway show i can get it for you wholesale in 1962, Barbra Streisand had just one number. But Opening Night it was the showstopper. The mythology it was a threeminute ovation. I wasnt counting. I really dont know. All i know is that my salary was 175 and the next day it went up to 350. . With her n girl and the movie that was made from it. . Streisand would become a superstar. Broadway, except on her records. Her latest encore is an album of show tunes, with stars like jimmy foxx who purchases climb every mountain wisconsin her from the sound of music. Its funny, i used to come on from the other side of the stage, i remember. T when streisand won the role of fannie brice at the Winter Garden theater in 1964. Does it feel the same . I have to have a moment to feel it. Jewish girls with prominent noses werent seen as leading lady material. But the message of Barbra Streisand in funny girl, the critic pauline kael would write, is that talent is beauty. You dont . You know you changed things. Ive read about it. Its interesting, because i didnt did you not feel like it . I couldnt feel the power behind what youre saying. I couldnt feel, really, did i that . I couldnt feel it for a long time. Streisands self confidence has long waged war with herself doubt. Its like theres two sides of me, just like there are two sides to my face. And on one side i can look really good. The other side is hit and miss. The other side, i swear to you, to this day i dont know. Its hit and miss sometimes ill look very good on this side. Thats a nice picture. Sometimes why do you worry about it so much . Because it was an important part of my life at the beginning, i think. Watch how she responded when caricature of herself at sardis the legendary broadway restaurant. Are those my lips . I hope you like it. . At 74, streisand did a brief tour this summer to support her new album. But the only artist to have number one records in six successive decades really like performing. When youre finished with this tour, youll have done a total of a hundred concerts in your life. In my life, yeah. Thats it . Thats it. Youre considered one of the greatest singers of your time. Thats nice. How long have you been here . Ive been on this property 20 1994 i bought this. Then main house 1995. Husband, james brolin, a compound of three houses on the malibu coast she built to look like nantucket. Because i love new england, i love the east coast. But i dont want to live there. So i just sort of brought it here. Do you think about legacy as an artist . Does it matter . Yeah. It does . It does because of my father. That his an early age. So youre keeping him alive . I was in yentl, i sort of became my father. . Yentl i showed it to her alone. And the end said, this film is dedicated to my father and all of our fathers. And my mothers first reaction was, why didnt you dedicate it to me . Im alive. Her father, emmanuel streisand, a teacher died when barbra was just 16 months old. Do you feel you filled whatever you felt missing f its a black hole. Its a void that cannot be filled. Do you reach a point where youre comfortable with that . It is what it is. And who knows if that didnt make me extra sensitive to what i need as an actress or a singer or a director. Thats what makes me so detail, its not fun. Was there a point at which you think you made peace with that . I think i made peace with my mother. Because i understand her now. My book, i probably will dedicate to my mother. Because without her telling me i would never make it and, you know, i cant be a movie star. And i was odd looking and whatever, she gave me something to fight for. It was a kind of, ill show you, mom. Gave me a force, an energy that i appreciate now. The book that streisand has been writing is, she says, an effort to correct misleading stories about her. Like Mike Wallaces infamous why do you sound so accusatory. Are you against psychotherapy. How to did you feel about the interview . I hated it. The feeling of, like, what a woman probably feels when shes date raped, only not as bad. I mean, thats worse, of course. And he made me cry, i think asking about my step father. I dont cry that easily. You just jealous of him . Jealous . I dont want to cry. I was at summer camp streisand protested. I called him up and i said, why would you do that . The next week, acknowledging some critical mail, wallace added we has heard from miss streisand, she loved it. That was he said i loved it when i said i hated it . Before his death, wallace publicly apologized. But the two never reconciled. And streisand doesnt like looking back. Its hard to relive my life. Why is it hard . Been there. Done that. Except for one nostalgic moment we had with her in her old dressing room at the Winter Garden theater. This was my little room that was private. The current occupant, sierra goggess who was starring in school of rock decorated the walls with streisand album covers. Look at that. On her dressing table my god. Shes got a candle she burns to st. Barbra. Thats quite special. She needs a new one. Ps, love the candle. Thank you Barbra Streisand. I just want to get the feeling of this. Standing here.

But these days as Michelle Miller is about to show us thousands of Elementary School students are hitting all the right notes. The mary plaque cloud bethune Elementary School sits in a new orleans neighborhood stressed by violence, poverty and the after effects of hurricane could treen. That but dont tell that to the music teacher. Beautiful smile this morning. Good morning. Pat sylvainlittles music class is a world apart. Who composed the four seasons. Vivaldi. Theres a lot more going on here than just a piano lesson. Its something about the keyboard. You have so many things you have to do at once. Youre playing with two hands. Youre trying to read the music. Rhythms all at the same time. With the researchers have found is that it sparks the brain. Sparking the brain of a child is what motivated lissa lercar towers create this course. Its all played with the right hand. Now being taught in 14 schools in new orleans and 130 in new york city. She is a music teacher on a mission. I think children need to i want to raise the bar high for them. I want them to be thinking beings while theyre playing. Its making it a process of thinking about it. A process of using their brains. In 1996, she read a newsweek cover story about childrens brains and how they develop. How exposure to music rewires neural circuits. How in one experiment, Music Lessons improved the abstract reasoning of preschoolers. Researchers and asked herself, how could she translate what was happening in laboratories back into the real world. Why is this necessary . Its necessary, because children dont have music in their lives. But its also necessary because of what it does in other areas of education. We have seen their literacy improve. Weve seen their language in other ways improve. Music sticks. It eha helps with attention. It helps them focus. Decades of budget cutbacks had led to the gutting of art and music classes. So lercari got funding from various foundations, devised her own program and called it music and the brain. Youre doing it. Very good job. I love it. Youre doing a great job. Keep up that singing. At ps71 in queens, new york, Claire Mcentire has been teaching the course for 12 first and second graders. I dont want to be a music teacher where its taught like drill and skill. When the kids come into the room i want them to walk win a smile. I want them to leave with a smile. I want them to feel good about it. Mitts takes happen every day. I want them to know that its okay. Most schools discover the program through word of mouth. And when they do, arrives bearing gifts. Keyboard lab with piano, music stands, books, teachers manuals, theory papers, posters that go along with every page of every book. Cds that are instructional and cds that are for fun listening. Here is how it works. Students first sing the melod melodies, classical, world, folk next, they learn the rhythms. Give a dog a bone. Then the notes. Along the way, teachers add the history, geography and languages associated with the music. And this large area right here is europe. We learned frer jacques from france. Practice at the keyboard. One or two times a week, 3045 minutes at a time. Can anybody teach this . Yeah, if theyre willing to work at it. I would say the only people who cant teach this are people who probably shouldnt be teaching at all. Lercari is in Constant Contact with her music teachers. If a technique works in one classroom, she believes it will work in another. But in all the schools, the key is finding teachers who care as much as she does. Sylvainlittle. Pat is one of the most beautiful teachers ive ever worked with. So many kids in new orleans need a way out of no way. And she makes sure they find it. Nobody fails in her hands. Thank you. Its an a. So we can c to a, f to a. I can tell you she saw every child every day. And we watched the her kids can do anything. She says, if it werent for these classes most of her students would never play the piano. Parents will say, i didnt even know my child was studying the piano. Let alone have one at home. I have some children that have told me, i practice on the kitchen table. You know, they sing the letters and go through the music. Doesnt stop you. A lot of the parents will come to me and they will say during parentteacher conferences, they will ask me, should we buy a keyboard . I say, listen, better than video games, your child loves it, why not. She plans to expand music and the brain into many more schools. Shes ready for battle. There some are principals who dont believe that music is an important part of education. And i convince them. I always hope that those principals will find other things to do in life. Who of your favorite composers. Vivaldi and beethoven. Why do you like them. He has nice songs. He does . Yes. I want to see children do better in school. I want to see children have better lives.
