within a year it went national. behind clark's clean-cut image, the show seemed to sanitize rock 'n' roll and make it safe for parents to allow their teenagers to tune in. >> i don't think there's anything very mysterious about the younger generation. >> reporter: as clark told edward r. morrow on cbs's "person to person" in 1958 -- >> for the very first time in theirs live they've been able to look in on their children, having fun, doing what they like to do. they finally got a common ground of understanding, so they can talk to one another for a change. >> reporter: from 1957 to 1989, clark helped introduce america to many of rock's biggest acts. >> the jackson 5. >> dick clark was involved in the earliest exposure of the bands. >> reporter: paul stanley of kiss said in 2006, said clark gave his band one of their first big breaks. >> his contribution to american music and to rock 'n' roll and bringing it into the homes of

america is immeasurable. he is the one who did it. he's dick clark. >> reporter: behind the smooth delivery was a shrewd businessman, says "rolling stone" writer fred goodman. >> he wasn't just the star. he was really the concept you'llizer of it. he understood the market. >> reporter: clark held several game shows and became a commercial pitchman. >> and much, much more. >> reporter: his company, dick clark productions, created thousands of hours of television, including the golden globes and the academy of country music awards. he appeared on many of the those, most famously ringing in the new year as host of "dick clark's new year's rocking eve." even after suffering a stroke in 2004, he continued to make appearances on the program. >> getting closer to midnight and everybody has come to one spot. >> reporter: with a kiss for his wife, clark would say good-bye to the old year. but it was his bandstand

published photos appear to show u.s. soldiers posing with the remains of suspected afghan insurgents. u.s. officials quickly condemned the behavior. david martin reports. >> reporter: they are literally the pictures the pentagon didn't want you to see. american soldiers posing with dismembered remains of enemy suicide bombers, published by "the los angeles times" despite pleas from secretary director panetta. >> we urged "the lau times" not to run those photos. the reasons for that are those photos are used by the enemy to incite violence. >> reporter: army investigators had the photos for a month. and do not doubt their authenticity. they show paratroopers from 82nd airborne, most have been identified and under investigation for violating an order governing the conduct of u.s. troops in afghanistan. according to "the l.a. times,"

the photos came from a soldier who said they are evidence of a breakdown of discipline that endanger the lives of troops. they are the latest in a string of blows to the american image in afghanistan. in january a video surfaced of marine snipers urinating on dead bodies. both sets of images stand as testament to the dehumanizing effect of war. >> this is war. and i know that war is ugly and it's violent. and i know that young people sometimes caught up in the moment make some very foolish decisions. >> reporter: there was also the inadvertent burning of the koran which set off anti-american protests and the infamous case of sergeant robert bales, charged with murdering 17 afghan civilians. david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. last week's u.n.-brokered cease-fire in syria has curtailed the violence but has not stopped it. amateur video appears to show u.n. monitors surrounded by

angry anti-government demonstrators in damascus when a shot was fired. the u.n. secretary-general says the assad government is not honoring the truce and wants to increase the number of observers. the secret service scandal in colombia has cost three agents their jobs. and new details are emerging about the trouble just before president obama's trip. one of the prostitutes tells "the new york times," one agent agreed to pay her $800 for the night. then tried to pay her only $30. that's when the trouble started. susan mcginnis is in washington with the latest. what can you tell us, susan? >> reporter: good morning, michelle. it was that dispute that ended up in this heated argument in the hallway of that hotel, ended up involving other prostitutes, other agents, the police and now here in washington, heads are starting to roll. the secret service says three agents involved in a prostitution scandal in colombia will no longer work at the

agency. one supervisor is being fired but can appeal the decision. another supervisor retired and an agent resigned. the secret service is investigating reports that 11 members hired prostitutes and brought them back to their hotel rooms in cartagena last week. they were in colombia preparing security for president obama's trip to the summit of the americas. >> obviously, this is a black mark. >> reporter: ryan stafford is a former secret service director. he says agents are constantly warned that prostitution can lead to espionage and blackmail. >> there's no doubt everybody going on that trip representing our government in the presidential contingent is aware of that and aware, you can't do that. >> reporter: the secret service says all of the agents involved were debriefed at its offices here in washington. investigators are also interviewing the women involved and witnesses in colombia. >> you have to, you know, let no stone be unturned to make sure

that you get to the truth of what happened down there. >> reporter: the agents were pulled out of cartagena last week after an agent allegedly got into an argument with one of the prostitutes about payment and columbian police were called. eight agents are still on administrative leave and have had their security clearances suspended pending results of the investigation. one agent has reportedly agreed to a lie detector test and the director of the secret service says one of the supervisors who was fired is now threatening to sue. michelle? >> more details coming. thanks. we're learning more about the abduction of a texas newborn and the murder of his mother. the suspect was apparently looking for a baby after she suffered a miscarriage. verna maclaine is charged with capital murder and being held without bond. police say she shot and killed kala golden outside a doctor's office and grabbed her 3-day-old son. there's a new judge in the trayvon martin case. jessica recksiedler removed
