good morning. not working. unemployment rises to 9.1%. with gas prices also high, and housing prices low, are we looking at a temporary blip or double dip recession? indicted. from presidential candidate to accused felon. john edwards is accused of accusing campaign cash to fund his mistress in 2008. >> i will regret the rest of my life the pain and harm that i have caused others. but i did not break the law. thank you all very much. >> could edwards actually see time in jail? frankly, my dear -- the epic

tale of love, romance and the civil war. forever part of our culture. we will celebrate the 75th anniversary of "gone with the wind." ♪ and teen idol australian pop star cody simpson is here and performs his new hit live on our plaza. all that and much more this saturday morning, june 4th, all that and much more this saturday morning, june 4th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs from cbs news, it's "the early show." live, from fifth avenue in new york city. it is the first saturday in june, a lovely day here in new york city, hope it's nice where you are. i'm russ mitchell. >> and dpoogood morning, i'm rea jarvis, they were lining up at 4:00 a.m. to see cody simpson. first we turn to the nation's economy. which is facing strong head winds. the unemployment rate went up to 9.1% last month from 9%, and stocks fell on friday to cap

their first five-week losing streak in seven years. are we on the road to a double dip recession, or is this just a blip? cbs news business correspondent, anthony mason, reports. >> reporter: after three straight months of strong job growth, hiring slowed sharply in may. the economy added a meager 54,000 jobs. the white house called it a bump in the road. but economists worry, it may be worse. >> i would call it a growth rate slow down. and it's going to persist for several months. that's a couple of quarters, at least. >> reporter: this economist says it's more than a soft patch. manufacturing, which had been leading the recovery and added jobs in each of the past six months, suddenly gave up 5,000 jobs in may. what does this mean for job growth? >> it means that it's easing again. we're not going to return to a quarter million jobs a month. that's not going to happen. any time soon. >> reporter: the number of people out of work more than six months is growing again, too. to more than 6 million. that's 45% of the unemployed.

in st. clair shores, michigan, melissa barone is on that list. she has been looking for a job for nearly two years. >> so we were out there, both of us, diligently looking for work. the work just isn't there. >> reporter: so far, economists see only a slow down ahead, not another recession. at least not yet. anthony mason, cbs news, new york. >> and for a look at the potential jobs picture going forward, we turn to our senior business writer for bloomberg business week. thanks for being with us. >> thank you, rebecca. >> obviously, this is something a lot of people are watching, the jobs picture. it was a very bad report. the question is, is it here to stay? >> look, it's never been great shakes to begin with. people forget the depths from which we have come back, from near collapse in the economy, we have never been generating a baseline level consistent 125,000 jobs a month, just to keep up with economic growth. when you step back from that, we

actually need twice that number, over five years, just to dig ourselves out of this 9% unemployment hole. >> yeah, a lot of analysts would say 300, 400,000 jobs a month is what we would need just to dig ourselves out of this, 14 million people sitting on the sidelines, and that's only what's accounted for in the numbers here. meantime, companies churning out record profits, $2 trillion in cash companies have available to spend potentially on hiring, but they're not. is there a cirque that's going to change that? >> turn around, and asking the ceos why are you husbanding so much of this cash? and they could say, where we would be in 2008 when we borrowed up to the kilt and would have gone bankrupt like many other companies did. they could very easily say cash is king and want to be conservative and want to be in case -- if credit dries up again. and in the meantime, buying back their stock. you look at a company like ibm, if it sees opportunities, hiring tens of thousands of americans,

it would, but it doesn't. it doesn't see a business proposition that would recourse back to the bottom line, but it doesn't. >> so what's left here? >> a long, drawn-out painful process. we could have taken this as one shot like the great depression. but instead we threw trillions of dollars of stimulus money at it, and taking the lumps over several years. no one said this was going to be easy. the unemployment rate doesn't double like that in a typical economic recession. i think people have to understand these jobs -- you just can't defy the law of economic physics. >> you talk about those trillions of dollars of stimulus that have been spent, that haven't necessarily proven to be useful. what is left for the government to do at this point? >> there's potentially a lot left. if you look back at the example of the -- you know, the new deal, you could have a tennessee valley authority, civilian conservation corps, mono rails, like the simpson's episode. >> isn't that what they're supposed to do in the first place? >> things are incredibly wasteful. not getting the bang for the

buck. i was talking to ed rowlands in the green room. you're not getting the bang for the buck. how many times were we using the phrase shovel-ready two years ago? where did that money go? what makes this more difficult going into 2012, the republicans don't want to give the democrats the satisfaction of having another fiscal stimulus or monetary stimulus package. and the other way around, they're saying this should be about deficit reduction. we shouldn't be blowing another wad on, you know, mysterious things that we don't end up getting any sort of bang from the buck from. >> so it's obviously going to be a long road ahead. >> it's a tough, tough, tough period coming off of this huge economic crisis. >> robin farzad, thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> here's russ. the bleak employment report could have a major impact on the outcome of next year's presidential election. the last president re-elected with unemployment above 7% was franklin roosevelt. it's a fact which president obama and his potential

challengers are well aware. wood johnson is in the white house with more. good morning. >> reporter: russ, good morning to you. that increase in unemployment to 9.1% is problem enough, as it is. but when you add falling home prices and the rising gas prices, it could be a damaging combination for a president seeking re-election. while touring a chrysler plant friday, president obama breezed over any direct reference to the disappointing jobs numbers. >> even though the economy is growing, even though it's created more than 2 million jobs over the past 15 months, we still face some tough times. we still face some challenges. >> reporter: challenges like the earthquake in japan. unrest in the middle east. and a jump in gas prices. the president acknowledged all are dragging on the economy. >> there are always going to be bumps on the road to recovery. >> reporter: according to a recent cbs news poll, jobs in the economy remain the top issues concerning americans most. and it's been that way for the

past two years. 57% of americans disapprove of the president's handling of the economy. just 38% approve. republican presidential hopefuls are seizing on what they see as president obama's weak link, and came out swinging at the faith and freedom forum. >> did you hear what he said today about the 9.1% unemployed americans? he said that's just a bump in the road. no, mr. president, that's not a bump. that's americans. >> we have a president whose policies have failed, and he won't tell the people the united states of america the truth about what it's really going to take to fix these problems. >> reporter: and the republicans attending the forum have been courting religious conservatives, but so far, fiscal issues have dominated the conversation. and the presidential hopefuls have framed the need to solve these problems as a moral obligation. russ? >> whit johnson, thanks. joining us now is democratic strategist steve mcmann in our

washington bureau and ed roll lands. let's talk about the nasty economic numbers. how does the president make an effective case he deserves a second term? >> i'm not going to sit here and tell you the numbers are good for the president. i don't think they would say that in the white house, either. i think the president has a case for a second term, based on what he inherited, what he did, growth in the economy to date, and it hasn't been perfect, hasn't been a straight line up. but 2 million jobs have been created since he became president of the united states. and this was no doubt a bad report and disappointed everybody in the white house. but the question at the end of the day is going to be whether or not people feel like the economy is getting better aren't election day. president reagan went through this, and ed can can tell you about that. ronald reagan was elected with unusually high unemployment across america, because people felt like things were getting better. at the end of the day, that's what this president needs. >> if you were advising one of the republican presidential

candidates now, what would you tell him to do? >> it certainly wouldn't be about job creation, it would be about being more fiscally conservative, we can create more jobs and reinvest a lot of money sitting there. no one wishes the president ill will on this particular front. we need to get americans back to work. but at the end of the day, people are going to make a judgment, the four years, trillions of dollars spent under his stewardship does it deserve four more years. i think people still like the president, they don't think he's a leader at this time. >> when you look at the republican candidates out there, who do you think is best suited to attack the president? >> first of all, romney is perceived as the front runner, former businessman and a successful one. but i think someone will come out of the social conservative side, sort of the role of mike huckabee might have had, and mrs. backemmichele bachmann, se pawlenty. a year from now, we'll know who the front runner is. >> steve, looking across the field, who is the most

formidable candidate out there? >> i think ed is right. he has handicapped it correctly. mitt romney has credibility because he's a former governor, former businessman. and he was a moderate when he was a governor of massachusetts. he's also somebody, however, who ran businesses by cutting people and laying them off. so i'm not sure that's exactly what folks are looking for right now. and he's going to beel cha challenged by somebody on the right and make him a little bit less attractive to the middle as a result. so i think that, you know, there's a long way to go, and this is a marathon, not a sprint. the president understands that. i think the republicans will find the road to the white house is as treacherous as the road to economic recovery. and i think you're seeing that a little bit already. republicans -- i'm sorry. >> steve, let me ask you quickly, how vulnerable do you think the president is at this point? >> i think the president is vulnerable, because of the economy, but i think he's not vulnerable on a lot of other measures. as ed pointed out correctly, americans still like this president a lot.

and there's a number in the survey that's very important. and that is, does this person care about people like me? two-thirds of americans believe president obama cares about them, and people like them. and with the republicans in washington trying to dismantle medicare and make medicaid a block grant, i don't think that they're helping their republican nominee very much. >> ed, in 1992, the clinton campaign mantra was, "it's the economy, stupid." should the republicans u use that? >> whether we use it or not, it's about the incumbent. no republican is going to beat him alone. he has to be basically dragged down by his effectiveness of getting back to work. >> thank you both. we appreciate it. >> thank you. and here's rebecca. >> russ, thank you. from former senator and presidential candidate to alleged felon, it is a long fall for john edwards. on friday, federal prosecutors charged edwards with using more than $900,000 in campaign contributions to keep his pregnant mistress out of sight.

during his run for president in 2008. edwards says he will fight the indictment. cbs news chief legal correspondent jan crawford is in our washington bureau with the story. good morning, jan. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. as you said, john edwards has had some pretty lofty titles, senator, vice presidential nominee, but now he's got an entirely different one. criminal defendant. >> there's no question that i've done wrong. and i take full responsibility. for having done wrong. and i will regret for the rest of my life the pain and the harm that i've caused to others. >> reporter: facing criminal charges for violating federal election law, john edwards' spectacular fall from grace hit a new low. after a two-year investigation, a federal grand jury indicted the former democratic senator and vice presidential nominee for accepting nearly $1 million in illegal contributions, and using the money to hide his pregnant mistress, rielle

hunter. but whatever his personnel failings, edwards said he was not guilty. >> that did not break the law. and i never, ever thought i was breaking the law. >> reporter: for much of his life, edwards seemed like the quintessential success story. the first in his family to go to college, he became a multiel millionaire trial lawyer, and was elected to the u.s. senate in his first campaign. then came the bombshells, the "national enquirer" reported he and hunter, a campaign aide, were having an affair. and she was pregnant with edwards' child. and all the while, he looked like the devoted father and husband to wife elizabeth, who was diagnosed with breast cancer after the 2004 campaign. >> first of all, it happened during a period after she was in remission from cancer. >> reporter: he only admitted he was the father of hunter's baby last year. he and his beth separated, and she died last december. by then, prosecutors were closing in. they focused on money donated to edwards by two wealthy supporters, dallas attorney fred

barron who died in 2008 and reclusive heiress, rachel "bunny" melon. prosecutors say that should have been considered a campaign contribution and edwards broke the law. but edwards' lawyers say that's wrong and unprecedented. >> in the history of the federal election campaign law, no one has ever been charged, either civilly or criminally, with the claims that have been brought against senator edwards today. this is an unprecedented prosecution. >> reporter: now, he edwards' lawyers plan an aggressive defense. they initially tried to work out a plea deal with the justice department to avoid a trial. justice insisted on john edwards pleading guilty to a felony, which would carry some jail time, so they are going to take this case to trial now. his defense lawyers. and they are going to fight it. rebecca? >> jan, the fact they did pass on that plea deal, does that indicate to you that they believe they have a really strong case here, and can win?

>>. >> oh, absolutely. you heard greg craig his lawyer, say, this is unprecedented, this has never been pursued by the prosecution. and that's what they're really going to argue. there are no cases of really published directly on point. so they're going to say, listen, i mean, this case should not be brought trial. >> now, in the event the jury does buy the prosecution's argument, are we going to see john edwards facing jail time? >> oh, he could absolutely be looking at jail time. he is charged with six different counts, including conspiracy and making false statements. and if he's convicted on any one of them, he could face stiff fines, and jail time. it's obviously hard to say how much. there's a range, based on the amount of money that he allegedly misspent on rielle hunter. but it could be several years. >> it could be several years, you say. he did make this apology that we saw in your piece. how big of a factor is that going to be as far as jurors and when they look at this case and determine whether or not there's guilt here? >> well, what he is doing is

saying, look, i may be a total scum bag, i've done terrible things in my life, but that is no reason to convict me of a crime that i didn't do. and i mean, that is really smart. he's really basically fronting that issue. because jurors are not going to have a lot of sympathy for him at this point, based on, you know, all of the stuff that he acknowledges that he did. so he's not a sympathetic figure. he's just fronting that. saying, look, i did terrible things, but let's move on. let's look at the law. i didn't break the law. i think that's very clever. and he's got to handle that. i mean, we all know, you can't convict people just for being a jerk. i mean, his argument that you can convict half the people in washington, if that was the case. or maybe more. >> jan, what are the chances we're going to see his former mistress, rielle hunter take the stand on this. >> very high. she's a witness in this case. and she's the one who is, you know, crisscrossing the country and hiding while john edwards was out there campaigning for president. so she will be a witness, and she has been interviewed by that

grand jury before they handed down the indictment. i would expect her to be called in this case. this is not -- i mean, let me emphasize again, this is not an easy case for the prosecution. they've got complicated facts here, they've -- we're talking about rielle hunter, she's a witness, but some other witnesses are going to be really difficult and have some credibility problems. the former aide, for example, andrew young, who claimed initially he was the father of the baby, i think will have enormous credibility problems. john edwards' lawyers will go at him very hard. other witnesses have died, fred barron, one of the donors. and bunny melon, the other witness, she's 100 years old. this, i think, is going to be quite a difficult case for the prosecution to make. >> it's going to be probably a big mess. jan crawford, as always, great insight. thank you so much. and now let's get to the rest of the other day's headlines. we stand by with cbs news correspondent elaine at the news desk. good morning. >> good morning. nato upped the ante against

moammar gadhafi. british and french apache helicopters struck targets in several locations. until now, nato only used jets to launch air strikes. nato says the use of helicopters will make it easier to attack gadhafi forces, attempting to hide in populated areas. five top members of the government of yemen are in saudi arabia this morning, being treated for wounds suffered in a rocket attack on the presidential palace. yemen is one step closer to civil war, following friday's attack that also injured president ali abdullah saleh. 400 people have died since january when anti-government forces tried to oust him from power. the u.s. and other western nations are worried that yemen, a long-time ally in the fight against terror, may fall into the hands of al qaeda. there are conflicted reports whether he is in al qaeda for medical treatment. those who returned from

germany are potentially suffering from the e-coli food poisoning traced to contaminated fruit and vegetables in spain. at least 18 people are dead. 2,000 others have been sickened. the food and drug administration says little food is imported from those countries, and the u.s. food supply is safe. just ahead, dr. jennifer ashton will have more on the e-coli outbreak. two huge wildfires have burned as much as 200,000 acres in arizona. so far, only a few buildings have burned. evacuations have been ordered, and at this point, there are no reports injuries. smoke from the fires can be seen as far as 200 miles away. federal investigators say the north carolina tour bus company tied to a fatal crash last week has tried to stay in business by using other names, and repainting its buses. four people were killed when the greensboro to new york bus ran

off interstate 95 in virginia. dozens of others were injured. police say the driver was fatigued. he was charged with involuntary manslaughter. native american children use their green thumbs to tend the white house garden. on friday, they helped mrs. obama harvest vegetables. the children also planted corn, beans and squash. the white house says that one in three native american children are overweight, and mrs. obama is encouraging healthier eating. now here's rebecca and russ. >> okay, elaine, thank you so much. it is now 21 minutes past the hour. our first check of the weather. >> good morning, russ, rebecca, everybody. let's get right to my weather headlines. because central california gets soaked today. the mississippi valley gets baked, i'm talking some communities, your temperatures will max 100 degrees. and the rivers rise in the northern rockies. i put a question mark there. i'm talking about the rivers rising and yet here's the area i'm talking about, not a drop of

>> reporter: prosecutors are playing these tapes in court, saying they show a pattern of deception. >> someone just said that caylee was dead this morning. that she drowned in the pool. that's the newest story out there. >> surprise, surprise. >> we need to -- we need to have something to go on. >> mom, i don't have anything. i'm sorry. i've been here a month. i've been here a month today. >> reporter: four months after this recording, caylee's body was found in the woods. ironically, the swimming pool theory is at the heart of the defense. caylee did drown, her attorney says, but it was an accident. another key to her defense, casey had been repeatedly abused by her father, george anthony. once again, though, on the tapes -- >> good morning, beautiful. i love you. >> hi. i love you too. >> reporter: the relationship between father and daughter seems anything but hostile. >> i can't say this enough to you. you have done everything that you possibly can. and you are the best father.

and by far the best grandfather that i've ever -- i've ever met. i'm going to say that and i mean that with all my heart. >> i could switch places with you this second, i would do it. i would do it. >> i know that. >> believe me, i would. >> you know how much i love you, how much i've always loved you. you'll always be my buddy, besides my dad. >> reporter: casey is charged with first degree murder. her trial reassumes this morning. mike de forest for cbs news, orlando. >> and joining us now to discuss the latest developments in this case is criminologist and legal analyst casey jordan. good morning, casey. >> good morning, rebecca. >> these tapes show her lying. what is the thinking behind putting the tapes out there for jurors to see? >> it's not just lying. it is lying off the scale, we call it the kaiser-sozay scale of lying. we had the behavior. but now the jig is up. she is in holding, in a jail

cell. her parents are begging her to help them find her missing granddaughter. and all she does is keep saying lie after lie after lie. in my gut, i know she is alive. when, in fact, even under the defense theory of the drowning, she does know her daughter is dead. why doesn't she just come forward at this point? while she is in jail, while everybody is begging her for help? and say that the baby drowned. but she doesn't do this. she keeps covering it up. >> and that's the case they're making against her. is there anything she can do to overcome this image that they're building of her? >> well, most people agree that she is eventually going to have to take the stand. but the biggest thing is, they are building chronologically this web of lies. starting today, we start the forensics. if the two mesh -- if the forensics evidence meshes and looks like every lie she told was to cover up evidence of a homicide, then the prosecution's case is really going to gel. >> you bring up the forensic evidence. in layman's terms, what does that mean? >> this morning, karen low, the

lab technician is going to talk about the post-mortem hair root banding, which is the evidence that caylee's hair that was left in the trunk, that the child was already dead when the hair was deposited in the trunk. the hair could only have belonged to casey or her mother cindy or caylee. now, we know that two of them are still alive. so the inference is that it could only have belonged to caylee. and this is the same lab technician who is also going to testify against the heart-shaped residue left on the duct tape found around little caylee's remains. >> these tapes also illustrate casey's relationship with her father in a very interesting way. and they sort of critique and criticize some of her claims about her negative relationship with her dad. is that going to change things as far as the dynamic goes for this case? >> it is. because the defense has put all its eggs in had one basket with regard to explaining casey's bizarre behavior, her lying, her covering up, her inability to tell the truth is due to the

abuse at the hands of her father. now, this came out in opening statements, which is not evidence. at all. but it's the sort of thing hanging over the jurors' heads. now they see casey telling her father, he's a wonderful father. she loves him. >> she says he's not just her dad, he's her buddy. >> her buddy. this really raises question, is she such a liar she has made up the entire story of abuse, because the evidence in the tapes indicates that she has a good relationship with her father. maybe contentious in a father/daughter way. but would a girl who was abused so beyond the pail that she can't tell the truth about her own daughter's drowning really be speaking this way to her father in jailhouse tapes? >> we don't have a lot of time. but when she does take the stand, do you think it's possible she could win jurors over with that story? >> be very clear, legally, she doesn't have to, but her attorney jose baez has put so much into it, she has got to take the stand to explain her

position. to argue that her father sexually abused her, to explain her behavior in the 31 days, to explain her pathological lying. what she has to do is say yes, i have lied about everything in the past. but now, for the first time ever, i'm telling the truth. if she good enough, if you don't believe her -- is she good enough an actress to convince this jury? >> casey jordan, we'll be watching. thank you so much for your insight. >> great to be here. >> and now here is lonnie with another check of the morning's weather. >> good morning, everybody. here we are. we're into the first full weekend of june. and for the east coast, it's a beach day today. for the gulf coast, it's a beach day today. for the west coast, it's a movie day today. here's what's going on. the east coast, beautiful sunshine, granted, going to be cooler than it was last weekend. but for the gulf coast, you get that same sunshine, and scorching hot temperatures. that movie day for the west coast beaches, it's all because of this system pushing on-shore, right around the california/oregon border. what happens? this low pressure system is going to be such a slow-mover, it just looks like a weekend

on this morning's "health watch," the deadly e-coli outbreak in europe. 18 people have died, and 2,000 are sick. here at home, four people have apparently been sickened by the outbreak, three hospitalized with kidney failure. most affected by the e-coli

outbreak have been or are currently in germany. now it's spread to 11 other countries. scientists are trying to find the source of the outbreak. let's turn to our cbs medical correspondent, dr. jennifer ashton. good to see you, as always. why is this string of e-coli of particular concern? >> e-coli are ubiquitous, 100 strains, we're familiar with it. what we're not familiar with is the part of the bacteria that acts like a glue. they all have toxins, and they release that toxin when they're inside of our body sometimes. but this one has a glue that's a little distinctive from other types of e-coli, and it adheres to the inside of the intestine, sits there, so it continues to release that toxin, and is making people sick. >>. >> we have talked about this before, but we mind us. how is e-coli spread? >> it's not a pleasant thought. you have to ingest it. it comes usually from fecal matter, and contaminated food is the most likely source. this is not an airborne bacteria. it usually comes on food that's not sterilely prepared or that

is contaminated with fecal matter, usually from animals. so you have to put it in your mouth to ingest it for it to get into your intestine. >> understatement of the day, not a pleasant thought. we appreciate you premising that. four people sick in the united states. a lot of people wondering, should i be concerned as well? >> i think there is no cause for widespread panic in country at this point. per the cdc, there are close to 200,000 cases, probably an underestimate of reported e-coli cases a year. in europe, they have seen the amount of deaths we normally see per year in this country. we're watching it closely here. any time a bacteria or a virus presents itself in a new way, medically and scientifically, we'll keep an eye on it. again, here, it it's not appearing to be starting from scratch. all of the people here appear to have been from germany. >> if you have friends in germany, how concerned should

you be for them or yourself? >> you don't need to worry about yourself, unless they are having an illness and then hand washing applies. you want to watch them because there could be an incubation period of one to ten days after they have ingested this bacteria if they will develop symptoms. >> two quick questions. the symptoms of e-coli, what are they? >> basic gastrointestinal symptoms, diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, vomiting. the very young and old, most susceptible. in europe, women and adult women are really becoming sick with this more than the old and young. >> i see. if you have yourself finding these symptoms, what should you do? >> important to stay well hydra hydrated. that holds true for any gastrointestinal illness. you want to replace the fluid you're losing with water. you want to avoid anti diarial medications. and at this point, avoid

treatment with antibiotics. if you are feeling dehydrated, you're not able to urinate or you have any chronic medical condition, you have been exposed to rouse from europe or germany, you want to talk to your doctor. >> as always, dr. jennifer ashton, thanks so much. we appreciate it. for more on e-coli symptoms and treatments, go to our partner in health, webmd.com and search e-coli. and now here's rebecca. >> thank you, russ. next, we all know what happens this time of year, the temperatures rise and so do our electric bills. we've got you covered. the best air conditioners and fans keeping you cool this summer without sweating the price. it's all here on "the early show" all the pens are put down... woman: and everything there is to learn is learned. man: till the heroes retire and the monsters return to their dens... woman: and all the plots are wrapped up. man: till that day... boy: by hook or by crook... girl: by book or by nook...

evidence, and data collection. and we may not see as many public searches as we have before. as this investigation gets scaled back, primarily because of the money issue. they just krokd the $2 million mark and the new fiscal year starts so they're not going to be able to afford to keep going like they have in the past. >> when cases like this to get scaled back to the degree that you're talking about, what is the likelihood that they go on unsolved or solved? >> this will more than likely turn into a unsolved case, until kyron himself is discovered by someone somewhere. that is the key word, rebecca. you said "mystery." the fact is, the sheriff himself has expressed public doubt as to whether kyron is alive or dead, and as long as that reasonable doubt exists in the sheriff's mind, there simply won't be an arrest or prosecution in this case, because they simply don't know what happened to kyron. this is not an unsolved child homicide. it is a missing child case. and that's all it is at this point. in fact, we don't even know what the crime or crimes are, let

alone who did it. so -- an arrest in this case won't end it. that will simply start the prosecution. and we're a long way from that. >> you're a long way from that. but do you believe it will eventually be -- you will find your person? >> chances are, these cases will resolve themselves. but more than likely, it's going to be through the help of an unwitting hiker or someplace else that will stumble upon kyron's remains. i know desiree probably doesn't want to hear that, but i know she is braced for that and prepared for it. the best news is that he comes home alive, soon, rather than later. but it's going to take -- it's going to take some time. >> bruce mccain and desiree young, we really appreciate both of you being with us here today. >> thank you. >> thank you. and now here's russ. okay, rebecca, thank you. up next, some will tell us it's almost as popular as the bible. we'll celebrate the 75th anniversary of "gone with the wind." you're watching early show" on cbs. le announcer ] look outside. it's grow time. so let's plant some perennials that'll turn up every year. trees and shrubs to give us depth.

classic american novel, cohen brown, good morning. thanks for coming in. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> you discovered the last part of that manuscript that mark talked about in the story there. how did you find it? >> i was at a library in connecticut, the pequot library, a beautiful library. and i contacted them, looking for copies of foreign editions of "gone with the wind" that mitchell had given her publisher, george brett. turns out the foreign editions didn't have anything juicy in them. i was looking for some great indescriptions. they didn't have much, but said hey, we have some manuscript pages, maybe you would think these are interesting. and it was a remarkable discovery, because it turns out they were the original manuscript chapters to "gone with the wind." and the story has been that mitchell had destroyed the manuscript, her husband burned it. and it turns out this library in connecticut has had four chapters all along. let's talk about margaret mitchell for a minute. she was quite saucy as a young later. >> i think that's a perfect term to use. the famous story, she was kicked out of the atlanta junior league

at a debtant ball, doing this sexy dance, and they didn't like that much. she once referred to herself as a dynamo going to waste. because she was this southern debutante taking care of her house. but she knew she had more in her. >> she married the best man. >> she did. kind of to get out of the southern lady role, she ran off and took an unfortunate marriage. it did not last long. and she ran off about a year later with the best man. >> how did she become a writer? >> she was a born story-teller, really. she is one of those people from when she was a child, she was writing in her journals, her diaries, short stories, poems. she wrote for her high school yearbook. unfortunately, she didn't have the opportunity to go to school and learn writing formally, because she was at home with her father. but she did get a job as a reporter. and that's where she really learned about writing. >> i see. why did she decide to write this particular story? >> well, she was tired of

virginia getting all of the credit for the civil war. all of the civil war history books, the novels always talked about virginia, the battleground state. and mitchell was a georgian, and she thought georgia had just such excitement to tell. >> a lot of obstacles out there. what kind of stuff? >> she was her own worst obstacle, really. she was a perfectionist. she wrote, rewrote, wrote again, edited, and she just was never satisfied. and she put an incredible amount of stress on herself. and had a lot of health problems. back trouble, eye strain. she even had a growth on her finger she had to get removed. she just never would stop. >> we talked about this earlier. the book is so different from the movie. >> it's unbelievable. i was stunned the first time i read the book after having seen the movie. the most striking difference is that the book begins that scarlett o'hara was not a beautiful woman. and in the movie, of course,

vivian lee, most beautiful woman in the world. but it's a very different story. the book is a much more historically rich document. i highly recommend it. >> it is a fascinating book, margaret mitchell's "gone with the wind" best seller's fantasy. thank you so much for coming in. >> thank you. >> really good stuff. up next, rebecca -- rebecca, out to you. >> you've got to get out here, tons of cody simpson fans on the plaza. and it's getting warmer. not every outfit is appropriate. we're going to show you what really works at work. this is "the early show" on cbs because it's seriously waterproof and ultra sweat-proof. coppertone protects across 100% of the uva/uvb spectrum. coppertone sport. embrace the sun. tastes so luscious, i enjoy it with lobster... mmmm... shrimp... oh... and mussels.

for those regular blood tests. pradaxa is progress. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding, and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have kidney problems or a bleeding condition, like stomach ulcers. or if you take aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. tell your doctor about all medicines you take, any planned medical or dental procedures, and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval, as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, ask your doctor if pradaxa can reduce your risk of a stroke.

we're back. now that the warm weather is here, you may find yourself looking for lighter-weight clothes, but some may not be appropriate for the office. >> might not be. here to show you how to look stylish, amy goodman, author of "wear this, toss that." >> dressed appropriately. >> beautifully dressed. we get to the first mistake. dolci will come out and show us

what she shouldn't be wearing. >> right, yes. this is all about clothes workplace appropriate. clothes you still love. first, a way too short skirt. this is a major mistake, even though short skirts are in, particularly because we can't wear tights. and flip flops, not great for work at all. unless you're a lifeguard, not wearing them in the workplace. here we have her with bcbg from macy's skirt, we were able to lengthen it bring it down a bit. the target area is to wear it above the knee. and ditch the flip flops, because there are so many incredible flats, these by steve madden. i think she looks totally great, and a pop of color with the blue purse. >> easy fix. >> very easy fix. but watch how much skin you're showing on your legs, the key point. >> so much. appreciate it. we want to bring in michellene. she has a top that i guess you could say is too revealing. >> yes, has that deep v, where

you're seeing a bit of her bra zero. her earrings are so long they could be fishing lures. the skirt has has a high slit. and lastly, her shoes were spiky. and now we put in a tank here from zara, $12. this is how you wear the summer tank, not by itself but layered with other blouses to make sure you're covering enough skin. swapped out the skirt. the fuller and longer skirts are in this season. her earrings are tasteful, because they're bold and make a statement but not too long. lastly, the color block sandals, the heel is thicker, don't feel like you need to go with the skinny still letto. >> something on the comfortable side. russ would know nothing about. thank you so much. you look fabulous. and i like the fishing hook idea. >> we don't want her to catch any fish, unless it's the next big client. now she is going for the white on white look here, but it's not working.

you canny straight through her sheer top, and she is wearing white jeans. when they're this tight, not good for the office place. and now we have done great layering here with the vest from lord and taylor. i love the added depth and dimension it brings to her upper torso. we let her retain the tank. a perfect example of how you can wear seaquins for day. and the trouser pant, capris, nice and breezy. overall, great nudes and neutrals, seeing how you can mix up this color scheme. and i think that it's kind of artsy, edgy, but still great for a creative workplace. >> work professional. >> thank you so much. and now whitney. tell me, i'm not a big expert, but the maxey dress they tell me is a huge trend very hot this summer. but we have issues with this. >> it captures summer for sure but because it's strapless, way too much skin on top.

and the noisy accessories, and the tote, she looks like she is headed to the shore. here we give her the coverage of the skin so it's more appropriate. and the necklace from forever 21, all of $7 to simplify the jewelry. and instead of the tote, we put in a structured handbag in a neutral tone so she looks like she can go to the boardroom rather than the beach. the book's premise, it costs us not to look our best, particularly for job interviews, for not being passed up for the promotion because people are distracted by inappropriate fashion. >> thank you to all of our models. wonderful updates. and still ahead,is youtube channel has already gotten 60 million hits. we have pop sensation cody simpson here performing his chart-topping single he. right here on the early show. >> all these folks came out, some here since 10:00 last night to see cody simpson coming up in
