oliver saks may be a world-famous neurologist. but there s one simple thing, something important, something most of us take for granted that he can barely do at all. that s to recognize a face. even a famous one. this one. soft focus. the owner of this face is looking tough. but i i don t know who it is. sometimes i fail to recognize myself. even yourself? yes, i have occasionally started apologizing to a clumsy bearded man, only to realize that this is a mirror. he s face-blind. it s a rare and incurable condition that he s had since birth. saks suspects it s genetic since his brother suffers from the same condition. he can see each facial feature just fine, but putting it all together, that s the problem. how about this picture? that is very beautiful. a model or an actress. well, i suppose one thinks of marilyn monroe. i m curious. you re looking at me right now. can you describe what you re
0 weekend. what a terrifying week in oklahoma. the question is what are the lessons learned going forward. today i ll be talking to a doctor whose fast thinking saved dozens of her patients from that giant tornado. and what to make of jodi arias. a psychologist who has worked on more than 60 death cases and said her performance, quote-unquote was as strange as anything we ve ever seen. and coca-cola say they re in the healthy lifestyle game. the chairman and ceo agreed to answer my questions. first up, oklahoma. you know the destruction i saw there was as complete as anything you might imagine. and i have seen disasters all over the world. the damage here was just so widespread. but although more than 2,000 people live in the exact path of the storm, 24 died, part of it was good warning. the alarms came in 16 minutes before the tornado hit, and part of it was knowing what to do. so i want you to watch this and maybe even grab a pencil and learn how to protect yourself. jump in
this, actor brad pitt told esquire magazine that he s so terrible at remembering faces that he wants to be tested to see if he has a condition known as face blindness. it may sound odd to you, i can tell you it s a real disorder. i had a chance to explore this with a famous neurologist, dr. oliver saks, who suffers from severe face blindness. oliver saks may be a world-famous neurologist. but there s one simple thing, something important, something most of us take for granted that he can barely do at all. that s to recognize a face. even a famous one. this one. soft focus. the owner of this face is looking tough. but i, i don t know who it is. sometimes i fail to recognize myself. even yourself? yes, i have occasionally started apologizing to a, a clumsy bearded man, only to

well, it s a pleasure and a privilege to have been invited here to talk to you about stephen hawking and be about, um, my experiences writing a book about him, stephen hawking, an unfettered mind. some of you may already know hawking s science well. nearly everybody knows something about him as a person. his disability, his legendary courage, his unlikely celebrity, and then a few ugly rumors about him as well. but he s more than a legend or a celebrity, he actually is a real person. and it s been my luck to get to know him just a little bit. i wouldn t claim, it would be inaccurate to say that i know him well. in fact, i think it might be inaccurate to say that more than two or three people in the world know stephen hawking well, and even they have their doubts. the way he communicates through his computer using very few words which it takes him a long time to produce means there s always something of a distance. um, and his, he, he doesn t give very much away. he says e
