>> i thought it was quite remarkable that a russian president moved this quickly. he clearly wrote this after he heard the president's speech on tuesday night. so it was very fast turnaround time. this is not like the old soviet bureaucracy that putin grew up in when he was a kgb agent. he, i thought, combined three different arguments rather skillfully. one, that he echoed those in congress who questioned whether or not there would be violence in syria that would follow a missile strike and perhaps make the issue worse. then he repeated his somewhat unsubstantiated argument that it was the rebel who launched the chemical weapons attack. and then finally he went after american exceptional im which puts him right in the middle of a big political debate in the united states. >> is there any evidence that the russian leader is besting president obama in this? >> well i think it's certainly fair to say that he has moved very quickly, that he's taken center stage in this and i think that has, as major said probably stunned this white house. the way the white house is trying to play it right now is to say fine if you're going to play such a big role then you own it and owning it means making sure that your ally bashar assad actually turns over these weapons, signs the chemical weapons convention and moves quickly. the problem they're going to run into is that the u.s. is going to insist that this only will work if there is the threat of force behind it and, of course putin made a very lengthy argument against that in his op-ed. >> how far apart, david, is the u.s. and russia on this deal and this plan? >> well, there are two elements of it. one of them is the question of use of force and on that they're very far apart. the u.s. would like this to be a chapter 7 resolution which would basically give the u.n. authorize the use of force if assad reneges on the deal. on the second part which is how quickly do you seize these weapons and then begin to try to at least make them inert if not yet destroy them we don't know yet. and that's what the discussion is under way right now between secretary kerry and foreign minister lavrov in geneva then they both brought groups of chemical weapons experts to talk about how you would actually turn this into a reality. >> is there a way to verify this, david? >> there would be a way to verify those elements of the chemical weapons program that the u.s. knows about. the big problem, charlie, as we've discussed before is we don't know where other elements may have been hidden and many parts of it have been moved around in recent weeks. >> david sanger thank you. one administration official uses the word "nightmare" to describe securing chemical weapons in a war zone. in an interview for "60 minutes," our senior correspondent john miller spoke with mike morell the number two official. he resigned only after the chemical weapons attack. >> mike morell was in charge of the day-to-day operations of the agency. he oversaw thousands of spies and analysts who formulate the very intelligence that is applied to decisions from preventing terrorist attacks to formulating foreign policy. in the broader sense, where is this syria thing going to take us? >> i'm concerned because where we're headed right now is toward, i fear the breakup of the state of syria collapse of the central government sectarian warfare, opportunity for al qaeda to have a safe haven in syria that is not dissimilar to the safe haven it once enjoyed in afghanistan and once enjoyed in the fatah. >> and in your discussions with president obama did you discuss that possibility with him? >> yes, that was shared with the president. >> what was his response to that picture? >> he takes that very seriously and certainly agrees that that is an outcome that is possible and needs to be avoided if we can do anything about it. >> john miller joins us at the table. he paints a dark picture. is there an alternative, do you think, to what he's saying? >> in the larger piece that airs on "60 minutes" sunday he goes through a complex alternative that requires a little help to the rebels but not too much but the goal is can you force the sides to the table in a way that preserves enough government so that the country doesn't, as we've seen in so many other places, have to first descend into total chaos before you can rebuild and you have a better chance of determining the outcome. >> this is so fascinating because here the cia is telling what we know which is the administration in some ways doesn't really want assad to go because the alternative is so worrisome. >> the question i put to him is there's a cold-blooded calculus that the longer this bar goes on the safer we are because the alternative of a stronger assad with a tighter relationship with russia or rebels that might be influenced in al qaeda taking over, neither is good. he said no there's a better way, there's a smarter way, but it will be harder. >> we can see john's full interview sunday on "60 minutes." can't wait. >> me either. >> and starting a new job can sometimes be difficult. it's never difficult for john miller though. look at what happened to retired general david petraeus. a group of students heckled the former cia director as he went to give his first lecture at the city university of new york. petraeus is a visiting professor there. you can hear the protesters called him a murderer and a war criminal. they're threatening to keep up the demonstrations all semester long. >> so there are man you're not getti you're not getting older, you're getting better. yea! that's not just a slogan. we'll look at why so many people do their best work late in life. that's next on cbs this morning. yes, it is now you always say that you want to be free ♪ [ female announcer ] a classic macaroni & cheese from stouffer's starts with freshly-made pasta and 100% real cheddar cheese. but what makes stouffer's mac n' cheese best of all. that moment you enjoy it at home. stouffer's. made with care for you or your family. hello, these are our ocean spray 100% juice blends and light 50 with just 50 calories, both with no added sugar. with so many tasty flavors, it's like a fruit stand in every bottle. just blending the fruits.

>> i think, charlie, the one revelationto me in the entire reportings of the book which was two years and 500 interviews was the inverted pyramids that falls on the 19 yshds. the enormous pressure and sacrifice and sweat that they go through. you know, the fact that they spend more time on football-related activities 41 hours plus per week versus 38 hours in the classroom so essentially what you have are athlete students in the top tier programs. >> with the latest report and the tutors writing their papers, taking the exams for them, doesn't it go back to the question about whether these college athletes should be paid. are they really there to get a college education or are they there to earn money for the colleges they play for? >> that road has two forks. in the top tier programs, certainly i think the emphasis on -- you have to win game. you have coaches now making in excess of $500 million a year. in the alabama case with nick saban, you can talk about the nick saban effect. his $5 million is probably worth 20 fold to the university of alabama. you have $5 million. you have two coaches makes that much money, 16 million coaches making more than 3 million dollars, 50 making more than $2 million. this funnels back to the kids. one of the parts of the book or many parts of the book is we try to take each chapter to show you something you may not know about the system and put it together in a big picture view of what's happening. >> you have that guy, the director of football operations. you call him the janitor. >> he called himself the janitor. >> he said i fix stuff. >> yeah. >> he said these kids are asked do things even the adults aren't asked to do. >> he was the man who ran the football program so matt could basically coach the team and it was fascinating to -- that was an eye opening experience for me and jeff the co-author of the book. we spent three hours with cleve at a hotel in austin and he laid it out for us. they tried to help these kids just understand how to go to the grocery store and buy food. he said at times it was slave labor for these kids. >> thachlk you so much. >> you're welcome. >> tomorrow jim nantz will be here in studio 57. he'll preview alabama taking on texas a&m and he'll talk about the manning brothers that they saw sunday. both games are here on cbs. jim nantz tomorrow on "cbs this morning." >> i love it when jim nantz comes by. what happens when you are dressing to impress with the need for speed?

eve if you didn't know the interlocking seats that this is something special, that's the power of design. >> is this the same for you as designing a pair of jeans or a coat? >> oh absolutely. you take into account not just a sketch but the actual material the grain of the leather, the quality of the stitch. >> not many understand those ingredients better than fashion designers which makes them increasingly attractive these days to carmakers. >> he already has what i call the eye. an eye is an intangible. swhoun can make things look good. you can't make a car okay. you have to make a car something someone lusts after. >> buying a car is not always a rational emotion. there's need there's want and the right design can take somebody from just like well i need that car to i really want that car. >> reporter: and that can be the inside making that difference. >> absolutely. inside is what you see every time you get in it. the outside stylists that can make it beautiful are only going to be more important as we move forward. >> fashion designers have brought pieces of the runway to the road since the 1970s when amc team up with gucci to access accessorize the hornet. but now it's anywhere. kenneth coal collaborating with a minnie. victoria beckham consulting on a range rover. big names and much better technology. designers are able to use virtual reality to dream up new interiors, making it far easier. >> it's extraordinary. whatever we can imagine we can now create virtually. it is an extremely powerful tool for a designer to be able to visualize. >> the end product is a vehicle that not only drives well but sits well. for "cbs this morning," jeff glor detroit. >> i absolutely believe in this. how something looks or feels can affect its functionality. >> i love what he says. whatever you imagine you can create. >> unfortunately my minivan is full of cheerios and high row grif ilk griffics and pen. >> there's a way to make it look hot. >> i don't know. bumper stickers. >> dexter as you may have heard is in the home stretch. what he thinks about those final episodes coming up next on "cbs this morning." michael c. hall has played everyone's favorite serial killer on showtime's dexter for the past eight years but after more than a hundred kills dexter is coming to an end. the question all the fans really want to know is will dexter get away with years of murder and reach a happy ending?

more importantly will the fans be satisfied? >> you know thing the focus can't be on satisfying the fans but satisfying our story-telling instincts and sense of characters. i'm sure some people will love it and some will be horrified and scandalized and there's some people in the spectrum in between those two things but i think we feel like we brought it to a close that really makes sense for us. >> "dexter" is a really complex character. it's rivets show because he's a serial killer, he's a murderer and yet he's a father and he's great brother and he doesn't this all sort of in the name of yo know vigilantism was it difficult to play that person? >> yeah. i think initially the character who we meet at the beginning is so far from who he is now. i think the biggest challenge was maintaining a sense of the character's truth throughout his evolution because he went through so many twists and turns and became arguably at least more human and that was probably the hardest part. >> they say that in acting if you're playing somebody who's diabolical, you've got to find something for people to like about him. is that true here? >> right. >> how did you find dexter -- >> i think it's there in the character from the beginning. he's someone who is saddled with a really substantial dark side but has taken unique responsibility for it in that he's trying to focus it on people who arguably deserve it. i mean it's -- the morality is really outside the box and a little dicey. >> i look at you. you hit all the life stressors. you went through a serious illness, a marriage a divorce, your health is oklahoma. i've been reading your health is really good. you played a creepy character. >> i have to know -- i know that you're normal. i want to know. i want people to understand that you really are a good guy. what cracks you up and makes you -- gives you your happy? >> it's the very thing you talk about. dead bodies make me laugh. no, i -- i don't know. >> typecasting. >> a sense of humor. i'd love to find that exploited in some way in my professional life moving forward but i can't deny that i have, as you say, been surrounded by dead bodies for 13 years going now. >> what's next? >> i have a movie called kill your darling that comes out olgt 18th. and in the first scene of the film -- it's not a spoiler alert -- my character is dead. so i sort of turn the tables on myself. i don't know. it's a theme. i can't deny it. >> you're very good at what you do. continued success. really, i mean it. continued success. michael c. hall. you can catch "dexter" sunday on showtime. only two more episodes left. show time, by the way, is a division of cbs. >> that does it for us. you can see us right here tomorrow on "cbs this morning." -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com ready?
