7:03 am
is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning to you, charlie. >> we begin with baseball. lawyers for alex rodriguez will ask a federal court today to overturn his season-long baseball suspension. the key witness against the new york yankees superstar told his story on last night's "60 minutes." >> anthony bosch spoke with scott pelley, and he says he injected rodriguez with performance-enhancing drugs. >> once rodriguez was fully into you're protocol, what were the various banned substances he was taking? >> testosterone. human growth factor 1. human growth hormone. and some different forms of peptides. >> all of them banned? >> all of them banned.
7:04 am
>> and he knew that? >> yes, he did. >> he did know that. and you knew. was rodriguez injecting himself with these substances? >> alex -- at times he would ask me to inject. >> you've injected him? >> yes. >> personally? >> personally. >> tony bosch told us alex rodriguez became his client in 2010. bosch says he supplied pro athletes with banned drugs almost ten years a corrupt sideline to his anti-aging clinic called biogenesis which was once in this florida office building. on august 4th 2010 rodriguez hit his 600th home run in his quest to become the greatest home run hitter of all time. >> see ya! >> reporter: tony bosch told us it was five days before this moment that he was summoned to a florida hotel to meet rodriguez for the first time.
7:05 am
>> the first words out of his mouth were you know, what did manning ramirez take in 2008 and 2009? what were you giving? what were you giving him? manny ramirez. >> towards right center field for manny ramirez. >> reporter: bosch says manny ramirez came to him at the age of 35, and the next season he nearly doubled his home runs. rmds re ramirez retired in 2011 after testing positive for doping. bosch said rodriguez wanted in on the secret. >> he would know. he would study the product, study the dosages. because he wanted to achieve all his human performance, or sports performance, objective, and the most important one was the 800 home run club. >> the 800 home run club.
7:06 am
>> which was only going to have one member. >> reporter: alex rodriguez. >> rodriguez denies all of the allegations. his attorney also appeared last night on "60 minutes." later he issued a statement, every mlb player and every fan should not be disgusted by salem witch trials display, they also should be disgusted by the distraction this will cause to the game. alex will continue to fight to vindicate his rights among the fans and in a genuine, judicial forum. >> the players union is blasting major league baseball for speaking to "60 minutes." scott pelley joins us. good morning. >> good morning. great to be with you. >> why should we believe charlie bosch now? >> he's told both stories, one he had nothing to do with it and now has told the story that he had everything to do with it. but bosch was a man caught in a vice. he claims that there were death threats against him. he was if fear of his life. so he decided to go to baseball, and baseball offered him a deal he couldn't refuse.
7:07 am
they said that they would drop their lawsuit against him, they would indemnify him from any other legal proceedings in the future, and provide him with 24-hour personal security. so he decided to work with baseball, tell his story, and he says that the text messages and other documents in the case back up his story now. >> what kind of case will a-rod's lawyers try to make now in. >> well, they're ghoing to federal court. an arbitration panel decided to uphold the suspension of a-rod. they reduced the games by a small number, but it takes him out for an entire season. and so now, the a-rod defense team will go to federal court and ask the federal court to take up this case alleging that there were improprieties in the arbitration hearing, but that is a very high legal bar we're told by legal experts. it's very rare for a federal court to interfere in arbitration cases. >> bosch not only implicated alex rodriguez but other players, as well. how much is he being paid by
7:08 am
major league baseball? >> i'm sorry how much is bosch being paid -- >> yes, bosch. >> well major league baseball will tell you they're not paying him anything. however, it is also true they are paying for his lawyers. they are paying for his 24-hour security. and so that comes to some hundreds of thousands, if not a few million dollars. this is one of the points that a-rod's defense team makes, that this is a paid witness. baseball says not at all, we are fulfilling our side of the obligation by paying his lawyers and for his security. we're not paying the witness himself anything. >> you also early involved in some of the people who were indicted and implicated lance armstrong. are there similarities here? >> well, there are similarities. one thing that is very similar, charlie, is that both alex rodriguez and lance armstrong didn't fail a drug test. alex rodriguez will tell you, his defense team will tell you, during this period of time he had 12 drug tests and every one of them was negative.
7:09 am
lance armstrong would have said the same thing before he made his confession, as well. so that's one similarity. another similarity, if you believe the story that bosch is telling, there is a great and intense interest by alex rodriguez in exactly how the products work and exactly how to use them. very very similar to what we later found out about lance armstrong. >> all right, scott, good to see you. thank you for being here. >> great to be with you. the faa is investigating why a southwest airlines jet landed the at wrong airport in missouri. the flight from chicago was supposed to touch down at branson airport, and instead, the boeing 737 ended up seven miles away at the county airport, which has a much shorter runway. transportation correspondent jeff is in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it was the wrong airport and the passengers knew it immediately because of the way the pilot slammed on the brakes. good thing he did, because the plane stopped short of an embankment that would have sent it crashing down onto an
7:10 am
interstate. after a rough landing and a five-hour delay, passengers were in good spirits realizing just how lucky they were. >> honestly i thought the landing was a little bumpy, but we kind of were pushed forward, and where we almost hit our heads on the seat in front of us. we're still unsure what happened. we're just glad to be back. we were very lucky, especially considering that there was a close-up at the end of the runway. >> reporter: it was partly cloudy and the sun had set when the plane touched down at the wrong airport. but even the passengers could tell they weren't where they were supposed to be. >> we knew that it was nothing in front of us. you could tell that from afar. the runway is maybe -- looks like it was three blocks long, and that's it. >> and we were the only plane sitting out there, so kind of hard to imagine that they didn't know they shouldn't have been there, because there wasn't another plane in sight. >> reporter: passengers eventually made it to the final destination, which was dallas.
7:11 am
southwest airlines says it's investigating why the pilot landed at the wrong airport. meantime, the airport manager there says the 737 should be able to take off safely despite the shorter runway, later on today. charlie, norah? >> jeff, thank you. hundreds of thousands of people in west virginia are beginning a fifth day without water. residents of nine counties still can't turn on the tap. the chemical spilled into the elk river, and it also closed schools and businesses, but the governor said the latest tests are encouraging. chip reid is in charleston. good morning. p>> reporter: good morning charlie and norah, and good morning to our viewers in the west. here at the plant where the leak occurred, the water in the elk river is now testing in the safe range and the governor of west virginia says he can see the light at the end of the tunnel. >> please don't jump ahead, but don't go out and say things are good because the green light has not been given yet. >> reporter: west virginia governor said it's still too soon to say when the ban on cooking, bathing, drinking tap
7:12 am
water will end, and that's frustrating news for people who spent four days lining up for bottled water. >> you have any sense how long it's going to be? >> i wish we knew. i wish we knew. i just want to take a shower. >> reporter: up to 5,000 gallons of the chemical which is used to clean coal leaked into the elk river thursday and friday. >> that's all we have time for. thanks for coming. >> we have more questions -- hey, hey. >> reporter: at a press conference friday the company's president, gary suthers, refused to answer some questions about how the leak happened, and the local newspaper questioned why a plant with dangerous chemicals sits just a mile and a half upstream from a major intake for the city's water system. the national guard is now collecting hundreds of water samples to determine the concentration of the chemical. >> what we're seeing right now is the levels are continuing to drop. >> reporter a fact that's also evidenced by sense of smell. can you still smell the licorice
7:13 am
smell in that? yeah, you can still smell the licorice smell. not as strong as it was before, right? >> not that strong, sir. >> reporter: later today, the water company is planning to start calling some of its customers to tell them to begin the process of flushing their pipes, and they hope the next step, sometime within the next few days, will be to declare that the water is safe. charlie and norah? >> all right, chip, thank you. former defense secretary robert gates is defending his new book and its bruising assessment of the obama white house. he gave his first interview to "cbs sunday morning." he talked about the timing of the memoirs release. jan crawford is in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you know, gates first talked to "cbs sunday morning" rita braver at his home outside seattle right before the book leaked but, of course when that happened and some were criticizing gates releasing the book, rita went back to gates and asked if he regretted the timing or anything he had written in the book.
7:14 am
here's what he said. >> no, i don't. i think that it's an honest account -- look, people gave me a lot of credit when i was in office of being blunt and candid about what i felt about things. >> reporter: when excerpts started leaking last week gates, wearing a neck brace after a fall agreed to go back on camera to discuss the disclosures and why he didn't wait until the president left office. >> it seemed to me that with the experience of -- and perspective of working for eight presidents and having been secretary for four and a half years, i didn't think that waiting until 2017 to weigh in on these issues and in a comprehensive and thoughtful way, made any sense. >> reporter: in his book gates seems to question president obama's commitment to his own afghanistan strategy. he was tough on vice president joe biden's foreign policy experience and slammed the majority of congress as incompetent.
7:15 am
with those excerpts gates, who served as defense secretary under presidents bush and obama, and was awarded the presidential medal of freedom, set off a firestorm. gates told braver he wasn't that critical of the president in the 600-page book. >> i make very explicit in the book that i agreed with all of the president's decisions on afghanistan, the ones that he made in 2009 and subsequently. my one concern, as i describe in the book the president began to have his own reservations about whether it would all work. and i think that's not an unfair thing to say. >> reporter: now gates obviously commands enormous respect. and the one thing that people say is his concern for the troops. you get the sense that he felt this obligation to write this book, and really fully share his perspective, because of the men and women in uniform. and for those who are going to fight for the u.s. and sacrifice in the future.
7:16 am
charlie and norah? >> all right, jan, thank you. israel will bury former prime minister ariel sharon this morning at his state tunial in jerusalem today. sharon was remembered as a fearless general and bold political leader. vice president joe biden said sharon had an unwavering commitment to israel's security. sharon died saturday after eight years in a coma following a stroke. he was 85 years old. the clock is ticking this morning on a new deal with iran over its nuclear program. the six-month interim agreement starts next monday. iran promises to limit its nuclear effort and dilute its highly enriched uranium. in exchange the united states and other world power also start to loosen economic sanctions. next month negotiators will reportedly start work on a final agreement. it could take effect in june. this morning, "american hustle" is one of the clear front-runners for the oscar race. it won big at last night's golden globe award, as nancy o'dell shows us. the ceremony brought plenty of surprises.
7:17 am
>> where's the envelope? >> reporter: the golden globes have been known for the fun and spontaneity. last night, they went a little littlelittle little haywire. jacqueline bisette was overcome with emotion. jonah hill had a good reason for looking like a deer in the headlights. >> i'm not going to lie to you, right now, they put up the wrong stuff on the teleprompter. >> yeah. >> reporter: and a last-minute carpet crisis before showtime. a broken sprinkler flooded the red carpet. thanks for the dry wit of tina fey and amy poehler. >> it's a story of how george clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age. >> "american hustle." >> reporter: "american hustle" was the night's biggest winner with awards for best comedy
7:18 am
film, best actress in a comedy and best supporting actress, jennifer lawrence. >> i have no idea what i'm doing here. this just feels insane. >> i will not fall into this -- -- >> reporter: "12 years a slave" won best film for drama, and one man's fight for aids drugs in the 1980s won a supporting actor for jared leto and best actor for matthew mcconaughey. golden globes went to "breaking bad" and its star bryan cranston, and host amy poelher celebrated her win by giving a more than celebratory kiss to best song winner bono. for "cbs this morning," nancy o'dell, beverly hills. >> having fun. time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe.

a radical redesign pay off. ceo alan mulally will join us. plus, the president of france caught in a scandal, showing the old rules about privacy no long erer a part. cyber thieves. the latest crime comes as target reaches out to its customers. elaine, good morning. >> good morning. neiman marcus may be one of four more retailers falling victim to hackers, according to reuters. the other stores have not yet been named but now authorities are investigating whether all of the attacks are linked. neiman marcus hasn't disclosed how many customers were affected affected, but did confirm cyber thieves stole credit and debit card information over the holiday season. in a statement, the luxury retailer said, we have begun to contain the intrusion and have taken significant steps to further enhance information security. we are taking steps where
7:32 am
possible to notify customers whose cards we know were used fraudulently after making a purchase at our store." the company has also asked the secret service to investigate. neiman marcus would not say whether the breach was related to the massive data theft at target, but some security experts believe it is possible the breach was part of the same scam. >> they very well could be related. oftentimes, we see the organized crime groups operating out of the former soviet union that are looking to target companies that maintain large swaths of data and these attacks seem to be somewhat similar, indicating there could be some relation. >> reporter: friday target confirmed its own cyber attack was far worse than previously believed. america's second-largest retailer revealed the same group that stole 40 million credit card numbers, also obtained the personal information names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of 70 million customers. >> we don't know the full extent of what transpired, but what we do know was there was malware
7:33 am
installed on the point-of-sale registers. that much, we've established. we've removed that malware, so that we can provide a safe and secure shopping environment. >> reporter: still safeguarding the amount of data these merchants collect has become a daunting task. >> with how vast these networks are, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to completely protect them. if you build a ten-foot fire wall, they bring a 12-foot ladder, and they're in the organization. the sophisticated adversaries are so calculated and always moving one step ahead of our defenses. >> reporter: this morning target released an open letter to its customers, apologizing for the incident, and explaining exactly how officials plan to rectify the situation, including a year of free credit monitoring. officials also insisted that customers will have zero liability for fraud charges. charlie, norah? >> all right, elaine, thank you. and the parter in of french president francois alan is expected to be released from the paris hospital. she is considered the nation's first lady. she was admitted friday after
7:34 am
reports the president is having an affair with an actress. the domestic drama comes at a tricky time for olan. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there's been a handy myth that politic stops at the french door. but not anymore. strict laws that are supposed to protect privacy, that in the world of internet and paparazzi there's no such thing. the 59-year-old french president had a rakish reputation after he established his partner, the 48-year-old former journalist valerie, as france's first lady just after his election. she checked herself into a clinic suffering from stress, it said, over the weekend. in the what goes around comes around school of french politics politics she herself has supplanted another politician who had been the mother of his children. it was a messy and often nasty
7:35 am
triangle. and so is the new one involving french actress julie gailler. her long rumored affair was alleged in the gossip magazine "closer" late last week that reported that eded that he would go to her apartment on a motor scooter. the magazine's editor says she merely confirmed what everybody already knew. public opinion seems fixed on the idea that the affair is a distraction for a president who should be fixing france's struggling economy. "in the current context, when there's so much bad news," this woman says "this superficial personal stuff doesn't do anybody any good." but as diversions go try this one, which has become popular. a computer game where alone on his scooter tries to get to julie's place while avoiding the other women in his life, and the prying press. there's never a good time to get caught in an affair but if
7:36 am
you're the president of france january may be the worst time. there's a traditional start of the year news conference when the french president faces two hours of questioning and for francois, it's tomorrow. there's also the matter of a scheduled visit to washington to which he and valerie are invited. >> only the french. >> only the french, what a story. >> and even the way they make fun of it. >> that game yes. all right. now back here to the u.s. the biggest news from this year's north american auto show may not be a car but a truck. ford is betting big on a dramatic makeover. the company is shedding nearly 700 pounds from its redesigned f-150. >> for the first time the truck features an all-aluminum body the chassis made from high-strength steel. the result? a jump in fuel economy. ford president/ceo alan mulally joins us from the floor of the detroit auto show. good morning. >> good morning. hi norah.
7:37 am
>> hi. >> norah would like an f-150. where do we start? >> she has really good taste, and so does everybody else. >> so why is this a game changer? >> well it's definitely incredible. the next step for the f-series as you know, the f-series truck is the number-one vehicle in the united states for 32 years, and also the number one truck for 37 years. and we've done that because we've just absolutely have paid attention to the needs and wants of our customers. and what they really want is quality and fuel efficiency capability, of course safety so the next innovation in the f-series will be the aluminum cab, the aluminum body you described today. it's so tough, it will have a significant weight improvement. it will allow us to downsize the engine, improve the fuel me efficiency efficiency, and reduce the co2 and add the capability of towing and hauling. >> what will be the fuel efficiency of the f-150? >> we haven't released the
7:38 am
numbers yet, but we'll be doing that over the next few months. >> let me ask you about aluminum. most people associate it with foil or a soda can. how strong will the truck be? >> well, it's going to be even tougher and even more capable, even more dent resistant. as you know, especially with my background in aerospace and commercial airplanes, aluminum is the material of choice. and we're actually using the same high-strength alloys in the military grade aluminum allowy. so it will be an improvement in toughness. >> is this translatable to other vehicles, or is it just the trucks? >> i think so charlie. of course, the big fuel savings and the wait reductions are with the larger vehicles, so that's where we're starting there. but, also, with the volume that we have with the f-series it means that also we can also make it even more affordable for the new material. we'll start with the bigger vehicles, and it will go across the entire product line over time. >> one of the things you've done at ford is put -- to have one factory line assembly line produce many variations of cars
7:39 am
internationally, both domestic and international. does it also include trucks? >> yes, absolutely. and we've gone now, charlie, to nine platforms deliver 85% of our total volume worldwide. so for your example, on one production line here we have a focus, we have a hybrid we also have a plug-in hybrid and we also have a petroversion all on the same production line which the same parts, which is why we're able to give the customers what they want but more affordably than anybody else. >> a personal question. you have come to ford from a very good job as a ceo, and there were rumors you might want to take the job at microsoft. you took yourself out of the running. why? >> well i'm really glad that that speculation is behind us, charlie, because i absolutely love serving ford, and i'm absolutely committed to the company, to our team, and our one ford plan. so we're on plan. >> and any advice for mary berra who takes over at gm? >> well, i had a chance to talk
7:40 am
to her when it was first announced, on the day it was announced, and i think she's a terrific leader. we have some joint technology work with gm. we talked about how exciting that is and how can it be beneficial to us. i think she'll be a great ceo. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. thank you, guys. norah, let me know. i can get your order in.

8:33 am
but rest assured all this green will be digitally transformed into a familiar scene. several member of the show's cast and crew still work here. the characters are mostly the same. and its mission hasn't changed in 44 years. >> we found a way to marry entertainment and education together, and for us you can't have one without the other. >> carol lynn parente is "sesame street" street"'s producer. >> how does this work? my teachers for the day were 30-year veteran marty robinson bet northern as telly monster. >> you know what you are, baby bear? you're a show-off. >> and matt vogel, "sesame street's" pub it captain and the man behind the count. >> how many bananas do you see on that tree? >> we're going show you everything beknow as a me factor

to a cause factor. >> let me see your hand. >> every time you speak a word your mouth opens, your puppet mouth. >> you look like a little tee pot there or reverse teapot. relax. >> relax. >> be very relaxed. >> it looks like a very tense swan. >> after a bit more bear-handed practice out came the real puppets. >> first thing, close your mouth. >> what is wrong. >> sorry. >> okay. >> sheesh. >> puppets need etiquette lessons first. >> puppets have very few things it does very well. focus. if it looks at you, boom connection. >> where are you looking? >> i know. he's got lazy eye. i'm trying to fix it. >> he's looking into the camera. >> that's nice. >> we perform to camera. so what you see at home when you watch "sesame street," that's what we're looking at. >> when you make focus like that
8:35 am
and you make that connection like i'm looking at you, the person whees looking at it imbues it with life. there's a huge difference between this and that. >> yes, yes. >> and it hits you right here. it always hits me like oh, god, he's looking at me. oh, that's real. >> trust me. this is much harder than it looks. >> he's not alive. he's -- >> close your mouth. >> he's struggling to find life. >> "weekends at bernie's." >> bus these artists do more than use their hands. >> we use our voice, sing interact, do it all. >> that's how you interact with the world. the puppet is a little more than a nicely made puppet and voice and technique. it's the soul of the puppeteer that's coming out after it. >> cookies. >> we're going to start you out today as kind of -- an assist in something that we're going to
8:36 am
shoot a little bit later. >> okay. >> there's a puppet called horacio. he's a giant puppet. you'll be helping with the right side and i'll be there to help you along. >> back on the digital set -- >> ready for action. >> -- i was ready for my installment as super grover 2.0. remember, they want to see the puppet, not the puppeteer. luckily green was always my color. i needed to be the best i could be while hor yash owe and the chickens shared the definition of weights and balance. >> the weight is perfectly balanced. >> the sum total of my help is -- take a look began. here it is in slow moe. >> i actually own that outfit. i cannot stress enough. this is about more than skill. it really is about talent.
8:37 am
it's so much hard e than it looks. those puppeteers are real artists. it's much more than just the hand. >> i bet you will never look at "sesame street" the same. >> i will not. it's such a fantastic show. that episode kicks off the 45th season in september. >> wow. >> what did you have to learn to do? >> the focus is the hard thing. first of all as we all know on tv, you're kind of doing the opposite of what you're seeing on the monitor, but getting those eyes -- if it's off by a hair, the puppet's not alive. it's probably like any kanld of art. if it's not exactly spot on if it's not totally engaged, it doesn't work. so it's not just about putting on a great-looking fleece and fluff puppet and doing what i'm doing now. it's tremendous. >> as you pointed out you nailed the el familiarity arm. >> i did. it looked underwhelming but it took a lot offest.
8:38 am

8:43 am
>> michael jackson and fair rat faw farrah fawcett. they both died that day. >> they had their skills confirmed after watching the original "60 minutes" report more than three years ago. good morning to you both. let's start with you, joey degrandis. i love that you were sitting at home and see this report. before this report did you think you were a super smart kid or you had a special skill? >> i knew i had an ability but from a scientific stand point i didn't know they were calling it hasm and that they were studied it. i thought it was a fun party trick. you know, was a good student but not above average student in math or science or in any one particular area so i never knew until i saw the special, the depth of the research that was being done. >> it must have been nice to say, hey there's other people like me, but when did you know you could do this.
8:44 am
>> i was about 10. i turned 10 in 1994. >> what day? >> wii was going to say that. >> september 10th 'of '94, my birthday, it was a wednesday. subsequently that spring i did the magic show as part of a, you know wrap-up end-of-the-year symposium for everyone in our class. everyone had to pick a trick. it was a cake walk. >> because you had these calendars behind you and people threw out dates. >> yes. watching, it makes me think how primitive. no ipads or iphones. we had to manually do this. but people were amazed. my classmates much like jake's last night, everyone knew i could do it but parents and adults were really really floored at that magic show. >> i feel strange doing this but can i ask you, january 15th 2009, do you remember that day? >> thursday. >> thursday. that was the day that the plane
8:45 am
made the emergency landing in the hudson river >> and april 29th 2011? >> that was a friday. that was the day that prynne william and princess catherine got maired. >> we did not given them a heads-up. how do you do that louise. >> how do you remember those dates? >> it's instinct. it's as automatic as filling out a form with name address, social security, birth date. it's a reaction. >> what you had for dinner. >> yeah. >> explain this toe me though. >> it's hard to put into words. >> when you seek out answers what do they tell you? >> that's what the research at uc irvine is about. they've done mris with ought of us and they found there's a certain part of our brain that's dramatically larger here which could be responsible for this. >> so for every one of you who have a super memory for
8:46 am
biographical things, you can look at that picture of a brain and it's difference and larger. >> i think they found at least with the original group of us. >> >> anything else? >> not anything else. i'm a musician. i have a really good musical memory and that was something that was apparent from the time i was really little and i think my parents thought oh she can remember dates. these probably an extension of her musical memory but as i got older i realized it was something very different. >> is there anything regular people can do to figure out how to do this? for example, january 5th 2009. >> okay. monday. >> monday. >> you were having lunch -- >> i was having lunch at oto's. >> january 23rd 2008 norah and charlie's birthdays. >> it was a wednesday. i was in new york. i went to the carlisle. my boss took us out to lunch. >> so is there anything we can do? seriously, is there any exercise or anything i can concentrate
8:47 am
on? >> let me tell you. i have a dear friend who after seeing the 60 minute special in 2010 he was so inspired. he thought, i want to pay more attention. i really want to be more engaged what's going on around me and he has made significant strides in his memory. he said, i caret it you for just making me more aware. >> what did he do, louise? >> i think he started really trying to pay attention to what was going on you know thinking about his day at the end of the day, what was really great about the day. what's worth remembering about today. >> like as you're lying in bed, i think bag on the day. >> are there any downsides to having this ability? >> it's challenging. the bad stuff is present. but the great things are present as well. i think a lot of times people don't know quite what do with it. sometimes teachers say you're a total know-it-all. i remember things. >> let me ask you. one of the things lesley stahl pointed out, you also have the same emotions of that day. it's not just remembering that
8:48 am
event. you have the emotions return. is that difficult in relationships that you remember something that happened or was emotionally scarring. >> or somebody ticked you off and you still remember that? >> it's challenging. >> you can hold a grudge or not hold a grudge. >> do we know whether it's genetic? does anybody in your family be -- >> nobody in my family. >> i have family members that have a great memories but not the auto buy graphic memories. >> it seems your club is growing. there are people who do that. >> i'm so glad. >> are you glad? >> i am. >> why, joe? >> the research to echo louise, is fascinating. i'm glad that it's being spotlighted and people just like i did see the special and say, i have that i want to learn more,
8:49 am
i want to reach out. >> you remembered something that was unique to your life but not what happened in history? >> i'm personally very good. i've always been very good at history. ice been my strongest and favorite subject. i assume it correlated to the memory ability but i'm not positive. yes, in my own life i remember very well and i could probably give you an idea what was happening in the world as i experienced it. for example you were spot on with the royal wedding. no offense to the royals i didn't watch it. if i had thought a little -- like give me a few minutes i would say, oh, yeah, wasn't that around the time and i would have arrived at the date. since you watched it you were there. >> "60 minutes" said you're poor forgetters. thank's a great
