homes by spectacular wildfires. >> there's been at least one death reported so far and the trouble continues this morning as strong winds feed those fires. lane lyon from cbs 4 is at the scene in conifer, colorado. >> reporter: one person found dead in a wildfire that erupted in jefferson county, colorado, monday, about 25 miles southwest of denver. the fire is considered to be the largest of several raging across the state and quickly scorched 4.5 square miles am a matter of hours late monday. about a dozen wildfires burned across the state as thousands of residents were forced to seek shelter. the fires apparently grew from a prescribed burn last week designed to prevent wildfires. >> praying the fire goes around our house but it got our neighbor's house a couple miles up the road. >> first time in 36 years i had to get out of here.

>> reporter: so far more than 900 homes have been ordered to evacuate and at least five homes destroyed as flames continue to burn from the northeast plains to the southern part of the state. fuelled by dry conditions and wind gusts reaching up to 55 miles per hour the paths of the fires remain unpredictable and officials will continue to battle the blazes today. >> if the wind shifts or if it picks up for some reason, then a lot is possible. >> we've asked for air support and we're crossing our fingers we get that tomorrow. we asked for it today and they simply couldn't fly because it was too dangerous. lots of boots on the ground tomorrow to really try and make a dent. >> reporter: lingering smoke could affect air quality through tuesday. fire officials say there is zero containment at this time. lane lyon for morni"cbs this mo" in conifer, colorado. new information is putting a new twist on the trayvon martin case. we now know the unarmed teenager was suspended from school and is

accused of attacking the man who shot him. >> martin's parents claim authorities are now trying to hurt their son's reputation. there were a series of protests on monday. mark, good morning. >> good morning, erica and to our friends in the west. state and federal investigators will be back at it in sanford today reviewing the original controversial police investigation. did they make the right decision by not arresting the killer of an unarmed teenager here in sanford? protesters chanted through downtown sanford and presented city commissioners with petitions signed by 2 million people demanding the arrest of george zimmerman. the crime watch captain said she shot trayvon martin in self-defense but the teenager's father, tracy martin, wants zimmerman in jail. >> we're not asking for an eye for an eye. we're asking for justice. justice. justice. >> reporter: martin's parents found themselves on the defensive for the first time since the shooting. revelations surfaced that the teen's high school had suspended him three times for offenses

including vandalism, tardiness and truancy and at the time of his death a two-week suspension for a baggy containing marijuana residue found inside his book bag. the family reacted angrilyangri. >> they killed my son and now they're trying to kill his reputation. >> reporter: sanford police confirm that zimmerman told them on the night of february 26th, martin decked him with a single punch and bashed his head against the sidewalk. zimmerman then fired his .9 millimeter but the killing has killed waves of protest. in los angeles, several hundred people, many wearing hoodies, marched during rush hour demanding answers. >> justice. that's what this march is about. that's why i am here. >> reporter: state and federal authorities including florida attorney general pam bondi say their review will take time and pleaded for patience. >> what we do know is 17-year-old boy was walking home and now he's dead.

and when you have questions like that, they need to be answered. >> reporter: martin's parents are leaving later this morning for washington, d.c. and a congressional hearing. its focus? crime watch groups, racial profiling and florida's stand your ground law. charlie and erica, back to you? >> earlier we spoke with ben crump. i began by asking him if his clients believe the information was released just to make trayvon look bad or was that information simply not true? >> they say that they are trying to attack his reputation, blame the victim and that has been the pattern of the sanford police department. there's no relevance any of this has on what happened on february 26th. the only thing that matters on february 26th is george zimmerman disobeyed the police and got in his car and pursued

trayvon martin. >> there was no conflict between trayvon martin and mr. zimmerman according to what you believe and what the parents believe? >> absolutely. charlie, all you need to do is listen to the tape. zimmerman did not know trayvon martin before this tape. he said why he was suspicious. he said how he ran out to trayvon martin and that if the police want to leak information, why not leak witnesses who say they saw him pursuing trayvon. they have only did things that are beneficial to mr. zimmerman's claim of self-defense and the only reason we can think that from day one, they made a decision they were not going to arrest george zimmerman and each day goes by, the whole world is saying you at least got to arrest this guy. >> correct me if i'm wrong, it sounds like you are referring to this witness who said he saw trayvon punch george zimmerman. he believes he saw him beating

up and said he would call 911 and looked out the window and saw trayvon facedown on the ground. that witness spoke out to a local news outlet on florida but wouldn't put his face on camera. have you spoken to him or other witnesses that you referred to that tell it as you say a different version of events? >> yes. that's the thing. even the witness who spoke out, his mother and this was a child said the police were asking him very confusing questions and he was confused and like the other witnesses there, the pattern that sanford police correct witnesses when it doesn't go with their version of it. three witnesses now have said that the sanford police changed their testimony. >> but what about the gentleman who was not a child. the man who spoke out who went by the name john didn't show his face on camera but he says that he saw some sort of an altercation. do you believe that he's not telling the truth?

>> again, that's leaked information that we don't know because the police only leak information to the media and not to the family. if that was your son, erica, wouldn't you think the police would tell you first before they go tell the world? >> you have no indication as their attorney of this? first you heard was when it was in the paper? >> exactly. that's the whole disrespect they have given this family. that's why people are so outraged. the whole way the police have conducted this investigation has been that trayvon martin is the subject. they put that on the police report. first thing. if you assume he's the subject, that makes george zimmerman the victim. that's the problem. the investigation was never fair and impartial. >> the parents have met with the special prosecutor. i assume they have in that conversation expressed their concern about these matters.

mr. crump? >> yes. i lost you for a second, charlie. they have expressed those matters and they said they are looking at everything. as the city manager said, you know, they can't keep having these leaks in the sanford police department. notice these leaks are beneficial to george zimmerman and i hope that the state attorney will look at that and i hope they will at least arrest him. the family isn't asking for a conviction. they only want what happened to mr. zimmerman, what will happen to their son, and he pulled the trigger and that's equal justice and a fair and impartial investigation. they deserve that. that's at least what they deserve. >> everybody would agree with that, mr. crump. thank you so much for joining us. this morning, u.n. special envoy kofi annan said syria's government accepted a six-point peace plan but other leaders rejected it. syrian president visited a former rebel strong hold. as for that u.n. peace plan it

calls for a daily two-hour cease-fire, withdrawal of troops and heavy weapons and also political talks. in washington this morning, the supreme court hears arguments on the most significant part of president obama's health care law. that is the requirement that everyone must have health insurance. >> the justices began considering that controversial law on monday. jan crawford is at the supreme court this morning. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. this is the big day that could well decide the future of this law. protesters are out here on the front of the supreme court as justices get ready to decide these enormous constitutional issues about government power to tell people what to do. can congress order you to go out and get health insurance? that's an issue the court has never before considered because congress has never ordered people to go out and buy anything. not even during war or the depression. first, there's another issue. yesterday the justices heard arguments on whether or not they could even decide this case

right now. outside of the court, people for and against president obama's health care law made their voices heard. inside the debate was technical as the justices delved into challenges. the case raises fundamental questions of federal power over american lives but on day one they dealt with a basic legal question. is it too soon for the court to hear the case? at issue is whether the penalty people will pay for refusing to buy insurance amounts to a tax. if it does, the argument goes the court can't hear the case until someone pays the case which won't happen until 2015 after that part of the law goes into effect. some of the justices were skeptical. >> they called it a penalty and not a tax for a reason. they wanted it to fall outside of that chapter.

>> reporter: today's arguments will go to it the heart of the most controversial part of the law. the individual mandate. the court will hear from opponents including 26 states who says congress has no power under the constitution to tell anyone to buy anything. under the constitution's commerce clause, congress has power to regulate commerce. opponents say that's true but they can't create it. the obama administration is countering saying health insurance is unique because unlike all other products, everyone will need health care. now many people think that this case will divide the justices just as it has divided america. that's hard to predict. we'll have a much better idea of that after we hear their questions during this historic two-hour argument. charlie and erica? >> thank you very much. tom coburn of oklahoma joins us now. >> good morning, charlie. >> senator, i think i know how you stand on health care. with respect to the issues

before the supreme court, do you hope the court says to the united states this entire health care law is unconstitutional? >> i certainly do. i praise the obama administration for wanting to address the issue. there's no question we have problems. health care costs too much. but every claim about this bill is going to be disproven both in terms of savings, delivery of care and affordability. it's highly unaffordable. we're now $2.6 trillion over the first ten years of what it's actually going to cost in increased taxes and spending by the federal government. my hope would be and for another reason, charlie, is the commerce clause and the expansion of it is the reason we run a trillion dollar deficit. you and i have had this conversation before. we're in such a big financial hole. if you go back to look at why we are, it's because the federal

government has gotten outside of the bounds of what we were ever intending to do and one of the ways we did that was by expanding the commerce clause to have us involved in things that are really not our purview under the constitution. >> david brooks in today's "the new york times" who is someone who i suspect in many cases you share views with says in my own view the individual mandate is perfectly acceptable policy. we have a national health care system where all indirect pay for ill and injured people. if all americans are in the same health care system, i think it's reasonable for government to insist that all americans participate in the insurance network that is the payment network for that system. >> we just don't have the authority to tell people to do that. that's fine for some columnist to write that. dave brooks is right. that says as government grows, freedom diminishes.

what we've seen is our freedom diminish. it's not working. how well is medicare working right now, charlie how well is medicaid working? none are working well. they are totally bankrupt programs. we can't afford them. the care is declining even though you say you can have access, you don't really get access. 40% of the people who are now coming into medicare are having trouble finding that physician that will take medicare. it's not working. the reason it doesn't work is we're not using market forces to allocate a resource and creating a true safety net to help these people that need help. we're outside of our role as a federal government. >> therefore you do not support the requirement for pre-existing condition nor the fact that children up to the age of 26 will come under the parents' plan? >> charlie, that's not it. the point is i support a true market where you can actually go in and buy something. the point being is we're going to make everybody buy something or we're going to say something

if we don't do that, then some consequences of market failure we can't tolerate so therefore we'll no longer trust markets and we'll have a system where the government sets the rules on everything. there is a choice in between there and the choice says -- i don't have any problem with what you do on terms of insurance. where is it the role for the federal government to set that? what's wrong with us allowing insurance to be bought and sold across state lines? we don't have a real market in insurance. that's why everyone wants to fix it. before we criticize the market base, we ought to go back and say could we have a real market? we've not done that. >> to be continued. thank you so much. >> all right, charlie. this morning, the president is on his way home from a summit in south korea where he shrugged off criticism for asking russia's president to put off some key issues for political reasons. senior white house correspondent bill plante is traveling with the president.

>> reporter: good morning. president obama today made light of republican outrage when he was asked about his overheard statement that he would have more flexibility to deal with russia after his election. >> first of all, are the mikes on? >> reporter: a day after telling outgoing russian president medvedev that issues can be solved if putin gives him space, mr. obama told reporters he had no hidden agenda. >> i want to reduce our nuclear stockpiles. one of the barriers to doing that is building trust and cooperation around missile defense issues. and so this is not a matter of hiding the ball. i'm on record. >> reporter: building that kind of trust, said the president, means finding bipartisan support in congress which is difficult in an election year. >> frankly the current environment is not conducive to

those kinds of thoughtful consultations. i think the stories you guys have been writing over the last 24 hours is good evidence of that. i think we'll do better in 2013. >> reporter: there was one part of the question asked today that the president didn't answer. whether he was being presumptuous in suggesting he would still be president after the election. for "cbs this morning," i'm bill plante with the president in

good morning it a very busy

reddy says they we're dealing with an x in northbound 11 and near the city to a connector you can see traffic really jammed at 50 m.p.h. in some spots. overturned vehicles involves the left lane and gives you some extra time. you're back to the maze from the toll plaza all the way to the bis three for this hemisphere abridged the dow for access to the left lane as through traffic here's elizabeth. it's drizzly right now over parts of san francisco heavier rain comes down in the north bay let's check at your high death doppler. heavier stuff right now moving from marin to come down 11 so heavy rain and some pretty strong wind gusts were seen at the system as well. so so three will pick up the course the afternoon and evening when will that as well. a city clearing family by wednesday afternoon and then we have clear skies partly sunny skies. thursday and friday. friday.

there's a person right there stuck in the mud for about an hour. happened at a construction site in atlanta. it was so bad one of the firefighters got stuck as well. here's the good news. we're told everybody's okay. probably not how you want to start your day. glad everyone's okay. we told you on monday how tiger woods won his first pga tournament in over 2 1/2 years. as you can guess, tiger was very happy and very relieved. >> it felt good. a lot of hard work. so thankful for a lot of people helping me out along the way. you all know who they are. it's been tough. today was unbelievable. >> hank haney was tiger's coach

for six of his most successful years and quit in 2010. his new memoir, "the big miss," is the focus of some controversy. good to have you here. >> thank you. >> why is the book controversial? >> i think a lot had to do with the fact that once sentences were taken out of context. that's understandable. and tiger doesn't like people talking about him. so that's created a reaction from his side of the fence too. >> do you think he was referencing you when he talked about people who knew, people who didn't? >> probably. no, i don't think so. >> here's the question about tiger. is he back? is the game back where he can be the player he was and perhaps even break jack nicklaus's grand slam record? >> define "back." the last three years i helped him, he won 45% of his tournaments. i don't think that's going to happen again because of the

competition. he played fantastic. he led in regulation, got his putter going again, key for him, led fourth. as far as jack nicklaus's record, that's one of the things i go through in the last chapter of the book. you know, he has the time to do it. you know, i wouldn't put anything past tiger woods. >> here is what some people are offended by, as you know, that you have violated some sense of confide confidence alt. >> right. >> like a doctor/patient confident chalt. he invited you in. he asked you to talk about his game and you talk about him, his life, his attitude in the book. >> the thing about this so-called unwritten code, i mean there's no written code. there's not a doctor/patient relationship. i understand people have that

feeling, that idea. i knew people felt that. you know, the bottom line really was i felt like these are my memories as well as tiger's and i didn't think he had an exclusive or patent on those memories. i'm asked about him all the time, how my job worked with tiger. when you're around greatness and observe it and you're asked about it, i thought, they're my memories too, and i want to share them. >> it's interesting because you talk in the book about how when you were worked with him, you were very rem sent to talk about him. when people asked about his swing, you didn't want to go there. you felt it wasn't your place. even when you worked with him. what changed? was it money? >> no, no. absolutely not. i wanted to talk about history, to be honest with you. tiger's, i think, the greatest player ever lived. >> greatest player that ever lived. >> i thing so.

>> better than jack nicklaus. >> jack has the greatest record but i think tiger's the best player that's ever played the game. unique individual, very complex. the book is also about coaching and how i got my opponents across. it's not all about tiger. it's what we went through. >> as golfers, that's what we're interested in. i was looking at the tighting, "the big miss." it has to do with the swing. >> the swing, the big missed putt, the missed opportunity to win a tournament. it has multiple meanings. missed opportunities that we had when we had time together. >> what is it that he has that makes him so good? >> it's just the whole package. and that's the one thing i try to describe in the book. it's everything that makes up tiger, the mental, the physical, the mental and most importantly

the ability to make that last putt or shot. it's a whole new package that's so unique i don't think we'll ever see it again. >> do you think his lifestyle detracted from being on the court? it didn't need to. it would be hard to say it did. >> you say in the board you were never surprised. you just told us you thing his game is back. mentally, though, is the tiger woods you see now on the golf course, is he at all different from the man you coached for a number of years? how do you think he's changed, if at all? >> i think there's this feeling when you look -- i mean you hear the galleries. i don't think he could help but think there's people out there that wonder about things that he did. he's a human being, so there has to be some of that. i think time heals all that. fans cheering for him, that's

helping him. >> is he any more humble? people looked at him as very confident, a little arrogant. did this humble him in some way >> to be that great, think it's part of the whole package to be arrogant. i don't know. it would be hard for me to say. >> yeah. in the end this are many really great swings in gulf. tiger oops edge is his attitude, is it not? >> i think so. >> the interesting thing though is whether that intimidation that he had because he was so good and he had this mental confidence that his father hemmed him develop wlrks that's less effective. >> well, people say that. like this last tournament he played, he won by five shots, he

could have won that by ten shots easily and they all say they're not intimidated but let him play like that a few weeks. >> you say you're no longer coaching. never again will you take on a pro? >> 32 years of coaching, over 200 pros, i decided tiger would be my last student. that's what i'm doing. >> no regrets on this book. >> absolutely. i'm brought of this book. >> "the big miss" is available in stores an online. >> jeff glor takes us to the big premiere. exciting. >> torl we will reveal five things that your cruise line will not tell you. you're watching "cbs this morning."

tim tell bow was spotted at

the broadway musical "wicked." it was annoyed when peyton manning came in and stole his seat. >> he had millions of fans and an army of critics f an denver broncos signed peyton manning and traded tim tebow. he got his formal introduction with life with the jets. plenty of people were watching. >> yes, indeed. keep in mind, tim tebow had a choice here. two teams wanted him. new york and jacksonville and he >> reporter: one of the first things tebow said when he walked up on stage, a lot of people here. >> reporter: a lot of people here. get used to it. perhaps one of the biggest teams in the country. 40 odd tv cameras, 145 reporters and 150 questions for a backup quarterback in the off season. >> i've always enjoyed pressure,

and that's something that exc e excites me. i thenk i play better when i have more on the line. do the jets have to do this? >> yes. you have to find a way to satisfy the media. it's a new cycle. they did it the right way, think. >> how did tebow do? >> i think he did okay. >> great means he escaped unscathed. smiling the whole way. praising current quarterback mark sanchez. >> we've been back and forth. we're going to have a great relationship. >> reporter: and expressing surprise that people are so fascinated by his faith. >> i've been doing that routine for the last seven years, since my senior year of high school. and now it's a big deal that i'm going to the end zone and getting on my knee and praying. for me it's not about changing or being anyone different. it's who i am. >> how is tim tebow in new york

different than tim tebow in denver? >> you have to watch everywhere you go. a microscope will be on him. it's a big change. but, again, i it's probably not something he's not used to, just a much larger scope. >> if he wins here as he's done everywhere else, the legend will grow along with back page pictures. >> why did he choose new york? >> he said he feels comfortable with the coaches. he knew ryan from before, even though -- >> the intriguing question for all of us who are thrilled he's here is whether he can play some position rather than quarterback and whether you can create some new offense that will have a double barrel, sanchez on one end, tebow on the other? >> i think he can, but he has a

different style. i think he knows if he's going to succeed as quarterback which he wants to long time and full time he needs to work on and quick than release, and that's what he was working on out in california this off season. >> we can expect him to be a better passer next football season because he's conscious of what he wants to do. >> one would think he would be better. in the meantime, they're talking about him doing 20 25rks a gail. defense have figured it a little bit out, but tebow is very good. >> i thought about this wonderful pass in which he throws it near the sideline and tebow heaves it to a wild receiver standing in the end zone. >> he said, look it. when you're running offense and you don't know there's five or six guys who may be touching when you're running the ball, that makes it difficult. tim tebow is a s

americans and the number is growing. >> people are struggling to control it with diet and drugs. our medical correspondent looks at a study that shows surgery may be an answer. >> tim used to think of himself as a big guy. he weighed 260 pounds. but this young father of two was still surprised when diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. >> i thought of myself as a guy that could stand to lose some weight, but i didn't think of myself as obese. >> it wasn't controlled through standard treatments. when he heard doctors were researching a new way to treat diabetes, stomach surgery, he hoped it might be the answer. >> i never really thought about weight loss surgery at all, so no, it was never on my radar. >> he had gastric bypass surgery where a small pouch is created to replace the stomach. after one year, 42% of patients that had that surgery had diabetes completely under control with normal blood sugar,

compared to 12% using just medications. >> i think it is a game changer. >> the study leader says after surgery, many patients no longer need any diabetes medication. >> one of the amazing things about surgery is how quickly the blood sugar normalizes. we had patients in the study within hours or days of the operation before they lost any weight reach normal blood sugar. >> he dropped 60 pounds. more importantly, his diabetes appears to be gone, and there have been other health benefits. >> it is amazing really because within two weeks of having the surgery, my blood sugar levels were fine, cholesterol levels were fine, blood pressure was fine. i feel great. >> now we heard dr. phillip shower in john's report, he is the director of the metabolic institute at cleveland clinic.

just saw you on tv. hello. >> good morning. >> i was excited by the report, also frightening to me. i think of weight loss surgery, i think very extreme, very dangerous. why does it work in this case? >> it has gotten much better over the years. we can do the operations with very small incisions. we have come a long way in reducing complications. it can be effective in not just improving but reversing diabetes, it is very important. >> all has to do with your weight? >> part of it is the weight. these folks lose a lot of weight. even before they lose much weight, the diabetes is gone in most cases. >> what's the medical reason behind it? >> there's a lot of work on this, charlie. we think hormones are made in the in test continues that are refed up and increase production of insulin by the pancreas, so they don't rely on insulin injections, they use their own. >> type 2 diabetes is called the

fastest growing epidemic in medicine. >> it is a tsunami, charlie. >> a tsunami? >> it is a tsunami baugs you look at millions of people getting this disease, and many will end up having kidney failure, dialysis, amputation, blindness, heart attacks, strokes. the medications we have are good, but still about half the folks on medications are not in good control. surgery is another weapon doctors can use. >> and the longer it lasts, more effect on other degenerative diseases, heart attack, things like that. let me come to some other point. if this is so effective reversing diabetes, isn't there some way else to have the impact that this has without surgery? >> not yet. but you know, we might learn more from these operations. if we learn how they work, perhaps a bill or another medication can be developed. >> to release the hormones. >> charlie said epidemic, you said tsunami.

why is this happening. i know we are a nation of fatty mcfat fats, i get that, our eating habits are so poor, we just don't eat right? >> the obesity epidemic is driving this but also a genetic component, certain ethnic groups predisposed. for example, in the middle east, in the gulf region, one in four adults has diabetes, in part because of the obesity there, too, but also the genetics that are driving it. >> part of a diet? >> absolutely. diets high in fat and carbohydrates play a role. >> if you gain the weight back. what if you have the surgery and you see them a few years later, they gained -- >> about 5%. studies going out 20 years show most weight is kept off. some gain some back. even when they gain back some weight, the diabetes is still in good control usually. >> that's the amazing thing to

me, it can control it, and in some cases reverse it. >> exactly. it is a chronic disease. if you get diabetes at age 30, you're going to have it the rest of your life, you're going to be imprisoned by shots, injections, pin pricks for many years. it gives you a chance to potentially reverse it early. >> sort of a yes and no. medical community confirms the results of the studies? >> absolutely. >> offering a lot of hope. thank you for joining us. jasonal dean is a hero in the heartland, a fan favorite from coast to coast. he puts down his guitar for a second to chat with us when cbs this morning continues. guitar to chat with us for a second when "cbs this morning" continues. >> announcer: cbs "healthw" this health watch sponsored by aconvenient oh, discover the power of active naturals. aveeno. its moisture barrier, trengthening for improved texture and elasticity in 2 weeks.

kind of pursue baseball a little further. and the thought of going to school four more years was not very appealing to me at the time, so i decided to kind of throw everything i had into music at that point, went out, started playing some clubs and things like that, and kind of going down the music path at that point. >> voilà. now here you are. one of the things that stood out since i first got to know your music, which we all really like, i remember we did this piece in january, i was talking to one of the producers, she said it is great, any time i work with a country music star, everybody is so nice. jason aldean is a great guy and he is so normal and it is a pleasure. it is great you hear that consistently about the country music world. why do you think that is? i love it. >> i don't know. i think for the most part, most of us really kind of came up in the business struggling to get

as we looked around the web this morning, found a a few reasons to make a long story short. in a story we are covering,

producer harvey weinstein will release "bully" as an unrated movie. he is waging a battle to get it changed. some may not show it without the rating. did you ever get a speeding ticket? ever get three tickets in one hour? >> no. >> good to hear. it happened to one woman over the weekend. she says she was rushing to her sick mother, had no idea she was speeding. police say twice she was going faster than 100 miles per hour. maybe after the first time you get tipped off, i don't know. and huffington post has a story we're obsessed with. easter egg hunt in old colorado city, colorado was cancelled this year due to bad behavior by helicopter parents. last year, eggs were left in an open field. some overly aggressive parents jumped a rope to make sure their children got an egg.

hunt is over in seconds, kids never had a shot. parents need a timeout. jane fonda headed for the white house. she will play first lady nancy reagan in the movie "the butler." it is about a white house servant that worked with the president. liam neeson may play lyndon johnson. john cusack nixon. michelle obama arranged quite a school trip. she arranged for kids from london to come to the white house. one girl so inspired by the first lady, she wants to be prime minister. and how smart are you? that depends how many friends you have. britain's daily mail says new research finds people with bigger brains have more friends because it takes brain power to keep up the friendships. that's long story short. erica, i think you have a big

salsa, anyone? welcome back to "cbs this morning." after four busy days in mexico, pope benedict is in cuba this morning, hence the music, a country where pope john paul made a historic visit 14 years ago. >> a lot has changed since then. byron, good morning.

>> reporter: good morning. the pope has one more event in santiago this morning and he has one more event. last night he held mass here. when the pope visited the u.s. in 2008 the crowds were loud and joyous, sometimes rockets. not here. one man pushed his way too aggressively toward the stage, state security ushered him uf a. this is communist cuba. public events are scripted. as for pope benedict, never seemed to notice. he kept to his prepared remarks. >> translator: dear brothers and sisters, the pope said, i appeal to you to reinvigorate your christ that you may live in christ and for christ and armed with peace and forgiveness and

understanding and go to a renewed and open society. with the collapse of communism around the world, economic hardships at home and the gentle nudging of the vatican restraints on religion have easeded. though most cubans say they're catholic but many are not practicing. state employees were given the day off to attend. people like lionel moya. he wanted the pope to talk about freedom and jobs. we met moya outside his local bashrshop. they're just some of the small businesses now allowed in cuba. in downtown santiago, for example, certain streets are closed to trucks and cars during business hours in an effort to draw foot traffic and boost sales. privately owned boutiques and restaurants are here. people are more interested in capitalism than ka thol sick.

>> are you catholic? >> reporter: local parish pretties taught at fordham university in new york. he hopes the pope's visit will grow the church and encourage a long suffering people. >> reporter: what does it mean to have the pope in cuba? >> it's a presence that invites to have more faith, more hope, more solidarity. >> reporter: in havana, the pope will meet with cuban president raul cass stroe. expectations as to whether or not his brother will be there. >> is there a political message that will resonate with the people that you interviewed? >> reporter: oh, i think so. i think so. i mean there's a real expectation here and around the world that the pope's presence here will make a difference. and, charlie, consider this. about 300 cuban-americans chartered in for this event, many of them wealthy, influential people from south

florida. major contributors to the republican party. for some of them, this was their first trip back to cuba in more than 50 years. essentially of them said this experience changed their view of cuba. and, guys, we all know when wealthy people write checks, politicians listen. >> that is so true. >> you have been to cuba before yourself. do you see the change? is it clear? >> reporter: i think so. two things, charlie, stand out for me. number one, the number of people who own their own businesses and the pride that comes with that and also how people talk about life after cass stroe. when i was here six years ago, that would never come up. you couldn't envisit. now they talk openly. communism is going away here. people honestly believe that. >> byron pitt, thank you. nice to have yo with u us this morning. movies don't get any hotter,

i can help you make an impression. >> that was coal miners. >> yeah, but i don't want to do that. i want to do something they're going to remember. did they explain about trying to get sponsors? >> yeah, but i'm not very good at making friends. >> chances are you've already seen that scene because a lot of you went to see it this past weekend. it was by far the number one movie in america. it's just beginning. ask the director gary ross. >> he already has to start thinking about keeping the magic alive by directing the first sequel. good morning. >> good morning. >> explain the phenomenon. what is it that makes this a bestseller and a very successful movie? >> you know, it's funny. i talk to a lot of kids who read the book before i ever started, charlie.

it was interesting because obviously it's bespectacled, completely engaging, and you would expect that to be the thing that attracted them. but to a kid, they all talked about katniss, her humanity, how she connected with roux, how she connected with her sister. i think that's what's at the heart of this. in this brutal system, in this brutal culture, brutal totalitarian culture, this is a person who fights to save humans. once she draws that line, once she hears that bell she can't unring it. once she knees who she is as an individual, she can't go bad. weirdly it's -- >> i have to agree, gary. i had a little bit of ooh a wakeup call for me. i went to see it and i walked

out so shaken and it was so violent and the kids were getting hurt. we had high school kids in. they said we know it's not reality. we're taking lessons from the movie about what to do, what not to do. we in no way think this is real which is interesting. i walked out thinking what message does this send? >> there's a social context for it. look. kids face a brutal and difficult and uncertain future and like i said, i think it's a question of how human can i stay when i have to scratch and claw for my own survival, when i have to fight for my own survival, how do i preserve the piece of me that's human, and think that's what the books do, which is obviously what we try to do in the movie. i really do think she's at the heart, katniss, and her journey is at the heart of why it's successful. >> played by jennifer lawrence. >> loved her. >> oh, my god. >> loved her.

>> you're the director, and she walks in for the test. >> it's ridiculous, charlie. as i said, i had never seen her audition like this. >> how so? how so? >> it floored me. i could see the whole movie. forgetting about casting jen. i saw, oh, my god, not only is this going to work, but it's going have nuance and colors i couldn't even malk. i think she's once a generation. >> i was wondering if it was something to you personally. may i see i've seen all three movies. what does this -- this is by far, i think, the biggest for you. what does it mean to you personally. >> they're all my children. >>ry are they? >> i love pleasantville as much as t"the hunger games". yes, there's a mavis phenomena to all this but you're attached to all of them. >> all of them? >> yes, of snook when yu look at this move and its appeal to

kids, was there a sense you could go so far but not further? did you have to edit yourself at all? >> only for the purpose of the actual story telling. it wasn't annish of restramt for ratings purposes. this was shot from her point of view, so the perception of the violence is what counts. it's how she sees and feels this. it isn't popping wide. i don't need to luridly show some blood bath. >> fortuitous violence, but it is kids killing kids. >> yes, but it is her perception of what's going on around her. in other words, i don't need to pop wide and show the petal of waterloo. i need to know what she's feeling all around her. it was fortunate in that respect. >> no. and you certainly took us there. you did. i thought your choice of shots was very interesting because a lot of times there were really, tight, tight shots that i felt i

was with jennifer, katniss, the whole time. she seemed to have her head screwed on right, just in the interviews i've seen. i've heard her her say she was reluctant at first because she wasn't sure she was ready for the change. >> you're 21 years old, a new actor, and you're going to be thrown into what we realize is a pop culture vortex. the thing about jennifer, she has such a depth of talent and such an accomplished actor,s she's more interesting in being an actor than being famous. the important thing to me is do i find a piece of material, i connect with it, see clearly. what i do every day is make a movie? is there some kind of contractual commitment to make other movies as it moves forward? >> we're beginning that process right now. >> and the author's happy with what we've seen? >> oh, yeah.

what makes it art and who determines the price? the answer may surprise you. for $150 you could own a pet shark. so with all the sharks in the sea, how did this one reel in $12 million? >> art is one of the most expensive handmade things on the face of the earth. a little boy sitting -- >> art critic jerry saltz said bad art can cost a lot of money if people want it. >> i think 85% of the earth that i see is grab. the big shark is not great art, but what a sight that is. >> reporter: 20 years ago british born artist paid to have this 14'shark caught off the coast of australia, $2,100 to have it shipped on ice in the uk and another $8,000 to have it stuffed and fermented in a tank

of formaldehyde. he called it "the impossibility of death in the mind of someone living." >> i think people buy art that a lost other people buy. maybe it's like the stocks where you buy not with your eyes but with your ears. >> hurst has made a career and a fortune that's packed a punch and lots of it. he began painting spots in 1986. today there are over $ 1,500 sps painted. this curator says the more attention the spots get, the more valuable they get. >> if no one wanted to look at them, would they have any value? ? i think it's a very interesting question about the history of art, in fact. >> each year over 8 million people flock to this museum in paris to see the mona lisa,

leonardo da vinci's masterpiece painted over 500 years ago. >> the adage is great art stands the test of time. >> certain art pieces don't need a 10-digit price tag to be considered valuablvaluable. >> they're in many different museums. >> then there's the art who isn't standing the test of time. art its like christopher wool whose painting made $7.7 million. >> that's what makes their collection more exclusive. and it is intriguing that that word "fool" would be so inticing to collectors at that amount. >> in other words, its's not ar

for art's sake but if art is undeed in the eye of the beholder, it's only a safe investment if future investors agree. children are here with oversized kitchen appliances. didn't seem to question what they were seeing was art. >> why do you think the artist made a giant cheese greater? >> maybe he didn't think of it as a cheese greater. maybe he thought of it as a piece of art. >> they hat a lot more fun making things of their own, pretty priceless stuff, depending on who you ask. >> even at a museum, when you go, i bet you don't look at everything. i bet you see about 15%. about 15%, something, if you let it, will reach out and embed itself in you. >> when i watched this, it reminds me of the fact that andy warhol painted t the camp bell

cans. >> it's interesting that youm bring um that point. arts gets some of its value from who owns it in the first place. if somebody famous owns it, in most cases that ups the val yaw of the art. just in harnltly most people want it because it's associated with someone famous. >> and they associate you as being someone in good taste. i find art so intimidating. >> last year the most expensive paintings last year was $250 million. by the royal family of cutter. a lot of people are buying art, especially in places like the middle east. >> there's something i haven't been able to grasp and i

understand why it's important. some people have an eye. you can't define what eye is, but they know it's good. >> some people will tell you that the secreten what is good is assess by the price point, the more it kofled the more you'll tell its. >> we even goc to go know. up next, your local news. we'll see you tomorrow. ,,,,,,,,,
