What makes Norman Lear, at 98, still tick?
"It's another day," said Norman Lear. "How about it? Another day to wake up and look around and see life!"
Even at breakfast, Lear – always the producer – knows how things should stack up. "Onion underneath the smoked salmon," he announced.
CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jonathan LaPook asked, "Does it matter whether the onion is underneath the smoked salmon or on top?"
"It matters a very great deal, because the onion has a tendency to break apart and to fall off. The salmon holds it down!"
Norman Lear demonstrates the proper way to prepare onions and salmon. Take it from this 98-year-old.
