his detailed account of the alleged abuse he suffered transfixed the courtroom. but did the defense make any headway in its effort to prove that he and some other victims are only talking now because of money? more on that side of the story as well. >> a lot of emotional testimony yesterday. also, former president george herbert walker bush turns 88 today. happy birthday, mr. president. coming up, a special conversation he recently had with his granddaughter, jenna bush hager. they talked about everything from his views on death, his legacy and also his socks. even justin bieber. we're going to have more on that coming up this morning. >> let us begin with the wildfire in colorado that has now turned deadly. nbc's miguel almaguer is in bellvue. good morning to you. >> reporter: this fatal fire is the biggest to burn this region in more than a quarter century. it took the life of a 62-year-old woman, has charred more than 41,000 acres, and today is still burning out of

control. with flames shooting 300 feet into the air, colorado's deadly high park fire is ripping through drought stricken terrain, spreading up to 40 feet a minute. the blaze, moving so quickly, a 62-year-old grandmother couldn't escape the inferno in time. the firefighter tried to check on her home. >> when he got up close enough to that residence, the area was engulfed in flames. he saw what he believed to be the structure in flames. >> reporter: with firefighters struggling to beat back the flames, this wind driven fire is moving in multiple directions. sparked by lightning saturday, now feeding on dry brush, lives and property are still in danger. at least 118 structures are damaged or destroyed. thousands of residents forced from their homes. >> thank god for the firemen. >> reporter: velma and jim hudson narrowly escaped the fire with their lives. >> we thought we were trapped.

because we didn't think we could get to the highway. >> reporter: with 600 firefighters dispatched to the front lines, resources from across the country are being dispatched to colorado. much of this runaway fire is hopscotching through back country. a u.s. senator says the need for more fight fighting aircraft here is, quote, dire. many of the firefighters on the ground are volunteers. some have lost their own homes. >> they could see their houses burning. yet they were as volunteers fighting to protect the school that meant so much to the kmupt. you hear those stories and it's pretty profound. >> reporter: wits billowing smoke column visible for hundreds of miles, a toxic plume seen from space, colorado's fire is just one of 18 large wildfires burning in nine states. in new mexico, more help is on the way from the air and on the ground. the fast moving little bear fire has torched tens of thousands of acres in the southern end of the state. hundreds evacuated, an estimated

got to face one of his accusers and it wasn't a comfortable one for anyone in the courtroom. jerry sandusky returns to court today. on monday seeming calm and confident he arrived with his lawyer and wife dottie but his side. the prosecutors wasted later time in their effort to portray him as in the chief prosecutor's words, a serial sexual predator. the first witness, described as victim eight, described how he met through his charity for troubled kids. as a 90 pound boy sandusky took him to football games, golf tournaments and workouts where horsing around turned into repeated acts of sexual abuse including oral sex that went on for five years. sandusky denies all charges. sandusky wrote him creepy love letters, he said. he described uncomfortable car rides where sandusky would constantly slip his hand on the

witness's thigh like i was his girlfriend. it just drove me nuts. sandusky also lavished him with attention and gifts. the witness, who came from a troubled home, acknowledged he never complained. >> when the witness said i didn't stop hanging out with sandusky because he was the only person who listened to me, you could have heard a pin drop. it is so hard for a person to admit that no one else is listening and the one person who is listening is the person who is sexually assaulting him. that was powerful. >> the lawyer pressed the witness on his finances and his decision to hire a lawyer, part of defense efforts to show the accusers have a financial interest in the case. why, he demanded to know, had he waited until reports surfaced that sandusky was under investigation before talking about what sandusky had allegedly done to him. the witness, increasingly combative shot back, "i didn't want to admit this happened.

i spent so many years burying this in the back of my head. i feel responsible for what happened to other victims." the prosecutor has promised to call seven more alleged victims and even flash their childhood photos on a projector screen. >> when the witnesses testify in this case, they will be testifying as adult men. the prosecution wants the jury to always remember these witnesses as children. >> reporter: the trial continues tuesday with testimony from the next expected witness, a young man known as victim one, whose decision to start talking to the police three years ago triggered the investigation that ultimately led to the charges against sandusky. matt. >> michael isikoff in bellefonte, pennsylvania. star jones is an attorney and former prosecutor. kendall coffey, a former prosecutor. let me start with you. there's a reason the prosecution led with victim number four.

how important is this? >> you want to start with one of your strongest victim witnesses and they certainly d this alleged victim did everything the prosecution wanted to do, specific, graphic, even documentary support in the form of what was described as a creepy love letter. most important, this alleged victim explained the delay, why it took so long. he said the police had to hunt him down because he was afraid. he was ashamed. that is doing to help with all of the other alleged victims. one of the big issue in this case is why everybody took so long. >> let me stick with you for a second. we heard from jerry sandusky that he's just a guy that loves children. do any of the details we heard from victim number four fall under the umbrella of just a guy who loves children. >> with some of the other alleged victims maybe but not this one. if this witness is believed, jerry sandusky is guilty of something terrible. >> talk about the defense, how do you pick away or chisel away

at the credibility of the witness and did the defense accomplish this at all. >> the defense only has a couple of ways this can go. they can go this did not occur. they can go this person is motivated by money in order to come in and testify. they are using both of them. >> the horseplay idea doesn't seem to cut it. >> you can't put man boy in shower in the same sentence and anybody be comfortable with that. that's what they initially attempted to do. i was most impressed by the young man, the victim's conversation about details. lies don't usually have details. the details of how it made him feel emotionally, even to embrace the fact he liked some of the attention. >> if the defense is successful at all, you can both weigh in on this -- portraying some of these alleged victims as people who are not victims but opportunists who are here for the money, does one bad apple spoil the whole bunch in terms of these victims. >> i don't think so. especially when you have very

powerful testimony from each individual. i think the prosecution is doing it the right way by trying to establish, although this is a pattern, these are individual cases. you may have some guilty verdicts and some acquittals. >> let's talk about some other news out of the courtroom. the defense filed a motion asking for permission to testify about histrionic personality disorder, characterized by dramatic, emotional and attention-seeking behavior. what's your reaction to this motion? >> too little too late. too late in that the trial has begun. pennsylvania isn't going to describe strange behavior by bringing in a behavioral expert to say this is why the individual is strange. horseplay is never a defense. >> dramatic emotional, sounds like half of the lawyers i know. it does not sound like a

disorder. >> finally the defense says they may put jerry sandusky himself on the witness stand. based on what we heard him say in the interview with bob costas and "new york times." do you think that's a good idea? >> matt, i have to tell you, i never like to see a defendant take the stand. he comes across quite frankly like chester the molester. he comes across like that in his interviews. he'll come across worse on the witness stand. >> would you put him on? >> i wouldn't if i had his wife. she's an eyewitness to 40 years of jerry sandusky's life. if she can pull it off, that's a strategy. >> i could crush her as a prosecutor. >> you're not in the courtroom. here is ann. congress secretary john bryson is taking an immediate medical leave of absence. this announcement comes after he alleged by caused three weekend car accidents in california after suffering a reported

seizure. nbc's white house correspondent kristen welker has the latest on this story. kristen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. president obama accepted secretary bryson's request for a medical leave late monday evening, secretary bryson telling senior administration officials he wants to focus on his health issues which emerged over the weekend. commerce secretary john bryson seemed to be in good health when he delivered the commencement speech thursday. saturday night something went terribly wrong. authorities say he was driving his personal lexus in the los angeles area when he rear-ended a buick stopped by a train. they say bryson got out of his car to talk to the three men inside and hit the same car again as he was driving away. five minutes later he allegedly hit a second car. police found him unconscious behind the wheel. authorities are quick to say drugs and alcohol did not play a role. on monday commerce officials announced he had had a seizure.

nbc's medical editor nancy snyderman. >> a seizure is electrical activity in the brain that's gone haywire. >> reporter: according to officials he was rushed to the hospital where he spent the night and was treated with seizure medication. they also say he has never suffered a seizure before. >> always in adults you have to wonder what is suddenly causing this when they have never had a problem before. there is a very short laundry list. doctors will check for every single thing on that list, everything from blood sugar to brain tumor and everything else in between. >> i will nominate john bryson. >> reporter: president obama nominated bryson just last year. late monday jay carney issued a statement saying the president's thoughts are with secretary bryson and his family during this time. mr. obama learned about the bizarre chain of events more than a day after it happened. >> we're going to make sure

obviously he gets the best care. we'll be able to make a determination from that. >> reporter: in a sign of how contentious the campaign season has gotten, the super pac posted this tweet monday morning. how does@commerce sec have three car crashes in five minutes and alcohol not be involved? #skills. once they learned it was health related they apologized. attempted levity before facts known and failed miserably. we took it down. >> we always knew it was going to be a negative campaign. but we're beginning to see just how low and how negative it can get. >> reporter: senior administration officials say president obama didn't learn about the accidents until monday morning because secretary bryson spent saturday in the hospital. the commerce department didn't learn about the incidents until saturday evening. there will likely be more questions around this part of the story. the good news is there were no

serious injuries. police did cite bryson with a felony hit-and-run. he has not been formally charged with anything. this morning he's back in d.c. resting. >> kristen, thanks for your reporting on this. let's get a check of the other top stories. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt and ann and everything. renewed violence where a mortar round slammed into an anti-government demonstration killing at least ten people. richard engel in cairo on the crisis that now killed between 10 and 14,000 people to date. richard, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. and killed ten children. u.n. accuses syria as killing and torturing children and using them as human shields. syria is apparently making no distinction between fighters and civilians. the youngest victims, mothers

inheritance is a high priority. now that number is down to 41%. what explains this drop? >> the drop is due to two things really. first the fact that people have less money than they did just a couple of years ago. the recession basically took about 40% out of the net worth of a lot of american families. but the other thing that's going on is people are just living so much longer that they are worried they won't have enough money for themselves, let alone their kids. "the wall street journal" did a large piece on this yesterday and really pointed to the fact that the inheritance pool for these baby boomers has fallen by 13%. >> so to give more numbers to back that up, the good news is 85 and older age bracket is the fastest growing age bracket in this country today. >> that's right. the average 65-year-old man can expect to live to 78. the average 65-year-old woman to 85. to me that means you better plan

financially. if you can get yourself in a mind-set of i'm having a good year, i'll save more, in those years you have college tuition or health care bill, you won't be panicked you can't do as much. >> may it take a while for the net worth to come back again. >> i don't know necessarily -- the net worth will take a while to come up. i don't know the inheritance numbers will come back. >> jean chatzky, thanks for your really important perspective this morning. ahead, what does george herbert walker bush have in common with justin bieber. the former president explains. but next a taste of what's coming to our plaza. justin bieber's free concert that attract add huge crowd. more after this.

rev your metabolism, your body after a long night of rest, also whet your appetite so you don't overeat at lunchtime. that being said, some people don't want to eat when they first wake up in the morning. they even feel nauseous putting food into their system. in that case, you need to know there's not a hard and fast set rule. i recommend 90 minutes. if you need to push it out a little bit, that's fine, too. >> happy breakfast. >> thank you, christie. now the next question from sally. she's actually in lansing, michigan. sally, what's your question? good morning. >> good morning. does it matter what you eat for breakfast as long as you eat? i ask because i've been known to eat cold pizza. >> i don't think you're alone. >> especially in college. it's a popular dish. >> the answer to that is yes and no. you clearly don't have to stick with standard breakfast fare like eggs and toast and cereal but ideally you do want your

breakfast to be a combination of some fiber and protein. that's what's going to help to power you through the morning hours. if that pizza is thin crust and loaded with vegetables, go for it. if it's a pepper ronni slice, skip it. there's so many dinners that are leftover turkey chili, burgers, shrimp and broccoli stir fry. anything goes. if you have leftover dinner go for it, as long as it's healthy. >> what about cereal bars? >> as long as there's no more than 12 grams of sugar. that's the cutoff. if it has protein and fiber that's what's going to hold you. >> next is an e-mail, julian from new york. julie writes, i love a great cup of dark roast coffee in the morning but typically stick with a mild blend was i worry about getting too much kaffer even.

i'm slightly sensitive. how much extra caffeine does a dark roast have compared to a regular coffee? that's a good question. >> i think this will surprise a lot of people. you taste dark, more robust. you oorvely think it has more caffeine but the total opposite is true. >> really? >> when you roast these coffee beans, the longer you roast, you burn off some caffeine. dark roast has slightly less caffeine than milder. >> don't let intense flavor fool you. >> go for whatever one you like best because the caffeine amount is negligible, the difference. >> watch what you put in it. >> skimmed milk, soy milk, no more than one packet of sugar and you're good to go. >> last is an e-mail from angela in memphis, tennessee. she writes, "i love this question, joy, what do you eat for breakfast since it's one of three important meals we need?

>> this is an easy one to answer. occasionally thin crust pizza with extra vegetables. for the most part if i'm in a frantic rush before the show, a greek yogurt and banana, eat it on the commute. if i have time i like elaborate egg white omelettes, one whole egg, three to four egg whites, tons of vegetables, reduced fat cheese. also a protein pancake, half a couple of oats, four egg whites, dash of vanilla extract and a little sugar and fry it right up with oil spray. i say fry but with oil spray on the skillet. i top it with fresh fruit. it's delicious, filling and super easy to make. >> i don't believe. i'll have to come over and test it out. >> tomorrow morning, you be there. or i can make it for dinner tonight. >> i'm game. >> and wear those shoes. those are fabulous shoes. >> you're very kind.
