explosions at a propane plant in orlando. >> it happened northwest of orlando. the blast could be felt miles away. our orlando affiliate is at the scene. kala, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the blue rhino gas plant that went up in flames just across the street here is an exchanges facility where people bring they are propane tanks to refill, like the ones we have on our deck or under our grill. at the time of this explosion, officials tell me that they had 53,000 20-pound tanks on hand that went off like missiles. a huge explosion tore through the roof of the plant just before 11:00 on monday night. locals describe hearing what sounded like bombs erupting. fire spread from the main plant to tractor trailers parked on site, each loaded with propane gas tanks. as the trucks were engulfed in flames, the cylinders exploded,

launched into the air one after the other. two dozen workers were inside the plant. it was bobby's first night on the job when he managed to escape. >> i basically heard an explosion and it probably threw me back about three feet. all i could see is everyone just running and i kind of got up and just ran. >> reporter: firefighters who responded to the original blast were pulled from the scene for safety reasons. those living within a mile of the site were evacuated from their homes. three hours after the first blast, 15 workers on site were reported missing. >> our thoughts and prayers are with their families and those who may have perished. >> reporter: one hour later came unexpected good news. >> all a of those who were missing have been accounted for. >> reporter: firefighters are on scene, and while the fire isn't completely out, it's been contained. officials tell me they have no idea what caused this explosion, and despite the enormity of the blast, no deaths have been

reported. at this time, eight people are in the hospital, four of them in critical condition with severe burns. we're told by that worker that he's most upset about not having any training for evacuation plans or what to do in a situation like this. gayle, charlie? >> thank you, kala rama. people are talking about pope francis this morning. he made comments about gay people on his plane yesterday. the pope said, quote, a person is gay and they accept the lord and have goodwill, who am i to judge them? they shouldn't be martyrized. they're our brothers. timothy dolan, archbishop of new york, we're pleased to have you here. welcome. >> i'm pleased to be here. thanks for the invite. >> what was the pope saying and why did he say it now? >> he said it -- and this is what i'm amazed, and i think as journalists you would appreciate it, he spent 1 hour and 20

minutes, calm and personable as he could be -- phenomenal. >> like a politician. >> like the president of the united states. you all must be delighted about that. you think we can get him on this show? >> with your help. >> what he's trying to say, charlie, in answer to your question, is he's articulating well, in a beautifully tender way, the traditional teaching of the church. while certain acts may be wrong, we would always love and respect the person and treat the person with dignity. >> but are you saying that he says love the sinner but hate the sin, is that -- >> yeah, that would be -- that's how -- that's the classical expression of it. on the better expression of it would be jesus when he met the woman who would be stoned to death by adultery, and he threw the people off, and he said, i don't condemn you, but don't sin anymore. i love you and respect you, but i'm calling you the virtue and the perfection. >> it does not appear to be a change in doctrine, but it certainly is a change in tone, is it not? >> you have a good point there,

gayle. people are saying can we expect changes in church teaching? of course, pope francis would say, my job isn't to change church teaching. my job is to present it as clearly as possible. you're on to something, gayle, when you say it could be a change in tone or emphasis. so what have we got? you ma two levels or two points of church teaching. one would be the immorality in god's view of any sexual expression outside of the relationship of man and woman, lifelong, faithful marriage. there's one point of church teaching. the other point of church teaching is that a person's identity, respect, the dignity and love that he or she deserves does not depend on anything, sexual orientation, how much money we've got, if we have a green card, papers, stock portfolio, it doesn't depend on anything other than we're a child of god made in his likeness. >> what would it take for the church to change the attitude about homosexuality being a sin?

>> well, i don't think that -- that probably is not possible, but -- excuse me, i don't think -- pardon me for saying that, charlie -- i don't think you expressed -- homosexuality is not a sin. homosexual acts are. just like heterosexuality is not a sin, although heterosexual acts outside of marriage, a lifelong faithful marriage to man and woman, that would be sinful. a pope couldn't do that. a pope inherits certain revelation, and it's his job to guard that and to pass that on. that comes not from him. the church doesn't make that up. we inherit that from god's revelation in the bible, in natural law, so he couldn't change that if he wanted to. >> let me quote "the new york times" this morning. but the fact that he made such comment and used the word gay was nevertheless revolutionary -- >> uh-huh. >> -- and likely to generate significant discussion in local diocese. revolutionary. >> that gets back to gayle's point. i think we have a question of emphasis and tone. >> mm-hmm.

>> a gentle, merciful understanding, compassionate tone. that may be something people find new and refreshing. i, for one, don't think it is. i hate to see previous popes caricatured as -- >> were you surprised when you heard -- >> no, no, gayle, what surprises me is people are surprised. charlie, wasn't it with you i was on at easter time. and i got tons of mail thinking i had -- what you asked me, you put me on the spot. you said, what would you say -- i'm glad you did, thanks. what would you say to a gay couple that came to you and said, what does the church say to us? i said the church says to you, we love you. we need you. come on in. you're welcome. people thought that was revolutionary. what surprises me, gayle, is that people are still surprised. the church has always -- maybe we haven't done it well. in fact, i said it that morning, charlie, maybe we need to do it better, and this will go a long way in showing that while we are rather cogent in our teaching, we're equally compelling in the mercy, the graciousness, and the

respect with which we should say it. so i welcome what the holy father said as a chance to kind of bring to the fore that other aspect, the style, the stone -- >> before you go, because it's a big story in all of the papers. you're someone who lives in new york and loves new york. i'm curious about your thoughts about the new york mayor's race and anthony weiner's recent revelations. >> uh-huh, well, i've been watching it very closely. i'm new to this. so maybe i ought to take a page from pope francis and say, i want to be as compassionate and merciful as possible and don't let me judge anybody. >> do you believe in redemption? >> do i ever. i hope so. i need it. >> in this particular case -- >> i think redemption is always possible and always god's preference. >> more than once in. >> you better believe it. >> cardinal timothy dolan, thanks. >> my honor. thank you. >> and the revelations in the an thereon the anthony weiner sexting scandal are affecting him role. weiner's wife is one of hillary

clinton's top aides. don is with us. good morning. >> reporter: it appears weiner's latest sexting scandal is catching up with him. a steep decline in his poll. that's not letting him stop him. he said he'll let the voters make up their minds at the poll. anthony weiner tried to stay on message as he arrived for a new york mayoral forum on monday, even as the campaign appeared to be veer off track. >> a lot of people are saying a lot of things about this campaign. that's great. i'm most concerned about the residents. >> reporter: facing growing pressure to drop out of the race, the former congressman dodged a question about whether bill and hillary clinton could sway him. >> i am not terribly interested in what people who are not voters in the city of new york have to say. i am focused like a laser beam on their interests. i'm focused like a laser beam on what they care about. >> reporter: in washington, d.c., his wife, huma abedin was

spotted having dinner with one of clinton's most trusted advisers. if the dinner conversation focused on weiner's decision to stay or go, a new quinnipiac poll seemed to suggest the answer. in the wake of the scandal, it showed weiner has plummeted 10 points among democratic hopefuls from first place to fourth, and most voters would like to see him bow out of the race altogether. even former governor eliot spitzer said he wouldn't back the fellow new yorker. >> you're not going to vote for anthony weiner, can you just say that now? you don't think he should be mayor of new york. >> fair point. that is correct. >> reporter: still, weiner says he won't listen to politicians, pundits, or the polls. >> there are a lot of polls in this race, and every time one's come out, whether i'm at the top or not, i've said the same thing. it doesn't change my life one bit. >> reporter: "the new york daily news" features an exclusive interview with the candidate. he was asked how the second wave of sexting messages affected his

marriage. he said it's hard to be reminded how much dishonor he brought upon himself and his wife. but when asked if there was another woman shoe about to drop, in that are there more embarrassing messages out there, he replied, "i have no idea." >> thank you, don. this morning, hillary clinton is having breakfast with a potential rival in 2016. that is vice president joe biden. yesterday, the former secretary of state had lunch with the former opponent, that was president obama. there's considerable speculation of who the president would endorse if both clinton and biden chose to make a bid for the white house in 2016. >> cbs news has confirmed that president obama is ready to make a deal with congress. he'll cut corporate tax rates if they'll make job investments. a break in the gridlock could change the course of the current congress. it's on tra ck to be the least productive. a summer break to keep the deadlines looming on capitol

hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and gayle. the first thing that congress needs to do is fund the government by september 30th, and that may sound like a long way away, but when congress leaves at the end of this week for a five-week break, look at this. the house comes back in september and will be working just nine days, and many of those are partial days. the senate is in session just a little bit more. they will be here for 16 full days, and there are a lot of major disputes they'll need to work through when it comes to funding the government. there's going to be a big fight over whether to keep some or all of those spending cuts known as the sequester in place. there's a group of republicans who are threatening not to fund the government unless the bill to do it cuts off funding for obamacare. and on top of all of that, everyone is gearing up for yet another battle over the debt ceiling. the nation is set to reach the borrowing limit sometime between september and november. so, charlie and gayle, there are

a number of scenarios where congress could bring us to the brink of a government shutdown yet again after all of, a congress that's so gridlocked they've only passed 22 pieces of legislation, and many of those are ceremonial pieces of legislation. things like renaming a bridge in missouri, or in one case, dictating how commemorative coins for the baseball hall of fame should be minted. nancy cordes, thanks. big news this morning for the housing market. home prices jumped by more than 12% in may, and that's compared with the same time last year. this is the biggest year-to-year jump since march 2006. home prices in dallas and denver reached their highest levels since the year 2000. a group of experts at the national cancer institute say it's time to rethink the definition of cancer. it could mean major changes in how the disease is protected and treated. cbs news contributor dr. david agus leads the west side cancer center in southern california. doctor, good morning.

>> good morning, charlie. >> what's the significance of changing the definition? >> well, listen, there's a dramatic increase in the diagnosis of certain kinds of cancer, like thyroid cancer, melanoma, almost 200% increase over the last 35 years. prostate cancer up 50%, and the new technology is allowing us to diagnose many more problems. the problem is, many of these cancers aren't ever going to cause a problem. it's like if you told a firefighter, go put out every fire, they'd be blowing water on tiki torches and candles when they don't need to. it's the same thing here. many of the cancer are so slow-growing not to cause a problem, we need to redefine them. >> but one concern we keep hearing is overdiagnosis and overtreatment. what exactly does that mean, number one? how does that happen? >> well, listen, lots of cancers we don't need to treat. we know the natural history. so there are many, for example, prostate cancers, thyroid cancers and breast cancers that don't necessarily need to be treated.

if you treat them and undergo radical therapy like surgery or radiation, it could have lasting side effects when it's not needed. the key is to treat the cancers we need to treat. we need a new definition. there's a particular kind of breast cancer that was called ductal carcinoma insitu. >> so that's a question, a conversation between the presidepatient and the doctor over what to do if they have cancer. >> most of the time, it's not a black and white decision. i hate to use this term nowadays, but it's a shade of gray. a doctor needs to educate a patient with the side effects, the ramifications of treatment versus not and the patient's value system. there rarely is one right decision. there's the right decision for the patient. >> thank you, dr. agus. workers in switzerland

ordered to pay her millions. plus, being stuck in traffic or an airport runway could cause big headaches. see how a smartphone app could cause washington to pay close attention. there's more information about how people pay to keep their passengers safe. it focuses on misconduct at the tsa. cbs news has learned infractions include sleeping on the job, letting friends and family go through checkpoints unscreened and leave work without permission. editor peter greenberg is here. good morning. tell us more about this report. >> government has about 9600 case s reported in tsa misconduct. 2700 of those cases are about leaving work early or excessive tardiness. that in itself would not have a direct impact on safety. but here comes the tough stuff, 1900-plus cases are about sleeping on the job.

and the friends and family program, they allowed their friends and family to go through without being screened. now that does have an impact. >> how are you able to sleep on that job engaging -- >> it's not about engaging. after about the ninth bag, i'd be asking for a price check on aisle five. it's a tedious, boring job. the protocols for behavior were thought to let hetheir officerso think on the job. they just had to this robotic protocol. that's why you see all the tsa officers being rotated about every 20 minutes because it is that boring, it is that tedious. >> when it rotates, it gets to you. right when it gets to you, there's a change. it's aggravating. >> they say, hey, gayle -- >> sometimes, yeah. >> where's the fight? >> they wrapped up the program so quickly it became the third

largest agency in the united states. you have 50,000 tsa officers. they're screening 1.8 million passengers a day at 450 airports. that part, we have but where was the oversight to review their behavior. and most importantly, there's the tracking, once they do corrective action or punishment to find out what behavior is still happening in the system. that's what the gao report was looking at and that's what they're talking about later today. >> so does there need to be better tracking on the violations that occurred? >> how about some tracking? >> no tracking? >> that's the problem. they haven't found it. if you don't track it and you don't monitor it, that means you're tolerating behavior that may be repeated. the credit agency equifax is exploring options this morning. a jury decided it has to pay an oregon woman more than $18 million in damages. she spent years trying to correct big mistakes on her credit card. cbs news analyst and contributor

mellody hobson is here. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> you look like sunshine this morning. $18 million. that unusually large for this case and how common that reports are wrong on your credit reports? >> this is a big lawsuit. and it's going to get a lot of attention. unfortunately, errors in credit reports are rampant. there was a study done in 2004 by the public interest group. they found that about 80% of credit report has an error. and not much has changed since then. now, 26% of the time, the error is significant enough to affect you getting credit. which is why i think the court is trying to make a big, big statement with these damages. >> so what is the message they're trying to send? >> i think they're trying to send a message to the credit rating agencies that they've got to get their house in order. that this say persistent problem that's caution a lot of grief

and they understand the problems they have out there in trying get the credit reports right. congress saw this many years ago which is why they created the fair credit reporting act which mandates that you get a free copy of your credit report each of the three agencies every year to protect you from identity theft. >> what are the accreditations for the other credit agencies? >> huge. they're going to be watching this case very closely. because if equifax does not appeal, they're basically going to open the floodgates to lots and lots of lawsuits to other people who say my credit record is wrong, too. they're going to have to show that that this is a one-off issue and not a systematic problem and that they have procedures in place to make sure that credit reports are corrected. if they don't have those processes and procedures in place, they're going to spend a lot of money putting them in place.

so the other agency, going to be watching this because they know they're exposed as well, and they've had issues with their own credit report. >> mellody, thank you. president obama is asking for a smaller, less suspensionive helicopter, but his request is running into turbulence. only one defense contractor said it will bid on the contract. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> good morning, charlie and gayle. the president's jets, air force one and his limousine around here we call it the beef, are brand new. but the helicopter fleet is more than 35 years old. when the president first came to the white house, he resisted getting a new batch of helicopters arguing that costs too much then he approved a smaller, cheaper fleet. but the cost ironically may stick the taxpayers with a higher-priced monopoly. we take for granted the short stroll from the oval office to the awaiting helicopter. president obama, george herbert lush, ronald reagan and jimmy

carter have all used the same fleet. president nixon used the fleet too, officeafter resigning madee one a backdrop to ignominy. it's faster than the limousine. more nimble than air force one, but -- >> the existing helicopter fleet is extremely old, but it doesn't have a lot of the modern features, communication features. it's kind of like driving around in an old, old car from detroit when you know what all the new models look like. >> reporter: at first, president obama resisted mothballing the old fleet. john mccain put him on the spot. >> your helicopter is now going to cost as much as air force one. >> reporter: that was when several companies were going to

build eight new at the cost of $13 billion. >> i think it is an example of what's gone amok. >> reporter: the president wanted a cheaper, smaller fleet with fewer technical and consumer assets than originally called for. that's caused more problems that mr. obama anticipated. only one contractor, sikorsky said it will bid on the contract. other companies that bid in 2009 are unlikely to compete this time because they can't make money redesigning a smaller, cheaper craft. >> and you go back and say, why did you reduce the requirements, simply to make it cheaper and is that the right thing to do? >> reporter: it's unclear what will happen if only sikorsky submits a bid. it will undermine the competition, embarrass the white

house and probably lead to higher costs. single-source minority contracts usually do. charlie and gayle. >> thanks, major. there's a battle under way to keep more of america's highways and bridges from falling apart. we'll take you out on the road to show you how your smartphone could force washington to take notice. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." ♪ ♪

p ibuprofen. and a 50% increase in use of drugs. it was initially thought that it might harm your heart so people got scared. they started to use more of the opiate drugs but they cause constipation that can kill you. it's gone up, and we have the whole move in the country to suppress their use. perhaps an overresponse that we see, how difficult it issing, because the suggestion is not to use them. the second thing is, you should stay under the care of your family doctor. your g.p. or practitioner, or in a woman's case, the gynecologist might be your family doctor. don't go to a specialist. there's a 100% increase in specialists more than double than what we had ten years before

>> why is that? >> the reason is, primary doctor is overwhelmed now. there's just too much to do and it's too complicated. and it's somewhat threatening prescribing pain medications so you end up with a specialist. what's the problem there? the third thing that's not recommended, you get elaborate tests and treatments. so, the example is, the suggestion to not get an mri or not to get a c.t. scan. why? because it's always going to show you something. 90% of mris in the low back in adults are abnormal. >> 90%? >> 90% are rated abnormal. so if you get an mri, i guarantee you it's going to be abnormal. >> and then i think i have to do something about that? >> right. 40% of people on street with no pain have herniated disks. 70% have degenerated disks with no pain. so then we end up pursuing what we see on the imaging study

jim ellis is the assistant managing editor at bloomberg business week and join us at the table. good to see you again. >> good morning. >> are you surprised the number was so low with the people who were investing in stocks? >> i was surprised in the sense that we've had such low rates on cash in the last four years that you would think that most people would say i've got to get higher rates, but so many people were shocked by the crash, they are sort of shell-shocked. they don't want to take any risk. and in the long haul, that's going to hurt. >> because once you've been burned, isn't it hard to jump back in? >> it's hard to jump back in, but so many people are now facing a time in life when they're going to have to live off savings, they're going to have to face up to this. a lot of people forget boomers are such a huge percentage of the retirement economy right now. right now 10,000 people turn 65 every day. that's a huge number. so this isn't an academic exercise. this is a real-world problem a lot of people have to face up

even if they don't want to. >> what might cause them to rethink? >> well, what will have to cause them to rethink is simply they're going to have a big drop-off in income if they don't look for ways to raise the income they can get on their savings. >> once they make that decision, what's the next decision? >> the next decision they have to do is basically what can they stomach. they're going to have to stomach equities. it's just a question of how many equities can they put in. equities from a long-term return have given you about a 7% return, 7%, 8%, depending on whose study you want to look at. that's important because 7% over ten years doubles your money. if you do the same thing with today's savings rates, which are maybe 0.1%, 0.2%, it would take you 60, 70 years to do exactly the same thing. >> better to invest yourselves or a stockbroker or put it in a fund where there's smarter money management? >> it's probably best to put it in some sort of fund, not so much because of smarter management but because you also get diversification.

>> reporter: and a once in a lifetime opportunity for those of us who got to fly alongside him. rossi invited us to come along as he flew beside this b-17 vintage bomber. this is the kind of formation flying you don't usually see. >> you have to avoid the turbulences of the aircraft in front of you. the thunderbirds do that, blue engines do that. i would do that because i'm so tiny that it would be like that. >> reporter: rossi was fighter pilot in the swissair force and later worked as a commercial pilot. but it was skydiving that gave him a sense of freedom in the air and he wanted more. so he built his first wing fitted with two tiny jet engines. >> first two, was level, and now four i can do aerobatics. so this took 18 years. and i'm the surprised it works so well. >> reporter: for his flight over wisconsin, he had to be certified by the faa. >> actually, on the paper i am

an experimental aircraft. >> reporter: his engines run on a mix of kerosene and turbine oil. he can carry enough fuel for a ten-minute flight reaching speeds of 186 miles an hour. he often flies wing tip to wing tip with planes. he claims it looks riskier than it really is. >> safe first. i love the life. i'm not kamikaze. >> reporter: and should anything go wrong, he has a plan. >> plan b, even c, i have a high level of safety. despite the fact that it looks crazy, but it's not so crazy. i'm not a crazy guy. >> reporter: to return to work, rossi turns the jets off and uses a parachute. >> whooo! >> reporter: is it your wish that sometime in the future many people will have this ability to put on wings and fly? >> yeah. actually, it's like jet ski of the air. it's not for transportation. airplanes are much more comfortable. >> reporter: he did make one previous flight in the united

states but that was a private exhibition over the grand canyon. you flew over the grand canyon. pretty good views? >> fantastic view. mother nature is there. so present. just a privilege to fly like that. >> reporter: in our dreams we often find ourselves flying like some mystical bird. ♪ i'm on top of the world steve rossi is realizing that dream and perhaps preparing a way for others to soar with nothing but their own wings. ♪ i'm on top of the world "cbs this morning," john blackstone, oshkosh, wisconsin. >> how great is that? wouldn't you love to do that? >> no, i would not, charlie. you're looking at it saying what? >> i would love to do that. wouldn't you? look at what you see and feel and to be up there. >> all i have to say is you have to be glad i'm not your girlfriend because i would forbid it. i would say no, charlie, you cannot do it. cbs wouldn't want you to do that

either. so frightening. >> they don't care what i do. >> i think they do. we don't want anything to happen to you. good for rocket man. great story, john blackstone. we'll look at how the nation's first black public high school is making a comeback. author and journalist allison stewart is here in studio 57 along with the principal. hello, you two. of washington's dunbar high school. they're coming up next,,

♪ every school district in america can learn from the lessons of dunbar high school in washington, d.c. it is the nation's first black public high school. it produced the first black graduate of the harvard and the naval academy but it's academic levels failed due to struggles with reading and math.

>> and a new $122 million building new ideas for teachers and the new book for the daughter of dunbar graduate. it's called "first class, the legacy of bun ddunbar." we welcome you both here. >> good morning. >> of all you could choose, why did you think you got to tell this particular story? >> hearing my parents talk about dunbar. i wanted to know more. i was in d.c. working and i said to a colleague, hey, i'm going to go check out dunbar high school. they said great football team. i said, yeah, sports are important. what about the first graduate of naval academic, or the army, or cabinet member? what about all of these people who have made incredible contributions to america. this person didn't know. it hit me, my god, this legacy, this story might get lost because these people are in the '70s, '80s and '90s.

it was about 2005. i decided i wanted to find these people, i wanted to hear their stories, what it was like to go to this academically elite high school. you couldn't go in a restaurant but you could speak latin and french. that was interesting to me. i didn't know what i was getting myself into. i wrote a letter to one of the graduates saying i'd like to interview you. and she sent it back corrected in red pen to let you know what dunbar graduates are like. >> so what was happening at dunbar? >> they were the first black graduates to graduate from an elite school like harvard would go in the workforce and they couldn't get jobs. at one point, dunbar's head of mathematics was the first woman to get a ph.d. in math. after being the first graduate of smith college, they had extraordinarily educated teachers who would come back and teach these kids. they kept the standard so high. they told them you're as good as

anybody else. don't believe any of the things that segregation tries to tell you about yourself. >> which brings this to you, principal jackson. your message is nag and nurture. the jackson leadership is relationships, relationships, relationships. okay, great. >> it is great. >> you got it, gayle. >> yes. >> in order to reach people, you have to develop strong relationships. and i have a group of dedicated teachers and administrators who are able to build relationships with our students. and once you build those type of relationships with students, they feel that you care about them, then they want to learn when you say the word nag and nurture, it's like a panic. you have to nag your children, but also you show them love, that you care for them. so my philosophy is that you have to nag them every day, as well as nurture. >> and that's really a throwback to the old school.

>> what happened in between, the old, the new, the parents, what happened in between and what did you have to come back to? >> dunbar had an issue in the '50s and a little bit beyond. it was one of these really odd things, once integration happened -- we shouldn't say integration. legalized integration. it became a neighborhood school, rather than a magnate school. all of the issues in d.c. that happened in terms of economic issues and social issues also happened at the high school. right now, we're having a resurgence i think it's back to that holistic idea that got everybody on board trying to bring school back to its glory. >> and the definition of success for you at dunbar means what, principal jackson? >> the definition of success is that we have a dedicated group of teachers and administrators similar to how they would dedicate it in the old dunbar. but more importantly, we have

teachers, staff members, that work with our students, mean oeg let -- meaning, let me give you a case in point. a story. >> a short story. >> let me give you a real short story, there was an assistant principal by the name of julia brooks. and if a child cut class, she went to the howard theater to pull them out. we'd do the same thing. >> yeah. >> if you're cutting a class, we will find you. bring you back to class. >> congratulations, go dunbar. allison stewart and stephen jackson, thank you. the first book goes on thursday. it's never been one of our first chief executives to not have one, but now george washington library is getting ready to open, and chip reid gives us a preview. >> reporter: if you wanted to separate fact from fiction about george washington, just ask curt viebranz. did he cut down a cherry tree? >> he did not >> reporter: did he throw a

silver dollar across the potomac river? >> he did not >> reporter: viebranz is president of mount vernon, washington's home on the potomac river where the presidential library will open this fall. he first saw a need for library with papers and books way back then? >> he did. i think he thought for the public good that they should be available. >> reporter: so this building is kind of george washington's wish coming true. >> it is >> reporter: the intersanctum, the library's vault will be open only to researchers. this is where washington's actual books will be? >> absolutely. we're trying to do what we can to create the library. >> reporter: washington had no formal education but he read voraciously. these two books are an example of his eclectic style. >> reporter: the other is on gardening thousands of books

have been written on washington. but viebranz said there's a lot to be learned. for example, how his example of slavery changed over time. >> you couldn't do the declaration of independence and believes goes hand in glove with continuing slavery. which is why he ended up freeing his slaves in his will. >> reporter: the library viebranz predicts will reveal new surprises about washington to go along with those already uncovered. for example, he owned the largest distillery in america. mount vernon sells his potent whiskey. >> take a sip and say hip hip hooza. >> hip hip hooza. >> hip hip hooza. years.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,g for
