brought to you by. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning to you, charlie. >> we begin again with the weather. many of you are waking up to a chilly morning in the west. about half the country faces more snow, sleet and freezing rain. this storm could affect 100 million americans in two dozen states over the next 36 hours. that includes much of the northeast, which is still digging out from yesterday's snow storm. >> parts of pennsylvania received nearly a foot of snow. travel is disrupted across the country. airlines scrapped 2,000 flights yesterday. this morning, more than 500 flights are already canceled. meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station, wbbm, looks at the weather. >> storms starting in oklahoma, kansas, missouri, spreading to the north and east, impacting st. louis and chicago, columbus. and moving on off to the east

coast, likely meaning a snow storm for hard-hit new york, that picked up 8" of snow in a new daily record yesterday. more snow on tap there. we are talking about a storm system impacting 29 states and over 100 million people. tons of advisories, watches and warnings for winter weather are posted across the central and northeastern part of the country. what we see accumulationwise is as much as six to 12 inches from kansas all the way through illinois, indiana and on off to the east coast. we may see a bit of a rain/snow mix and ice accumulation down to the south. the west today, southern california, topping out in the mid 60s. charlie, norah? >> governor chris christie remains defiant this morning. he says the united states attorney in new jersey sent a subpoena to his office. the procesecutor wants informatn related to the george washington bridge traffic jam candle. elaine quijano is here with us and with christie's new interview. elaine, good morning. >> good morning to you, charlie and norah.

it also marked the first time governor christie directly addressed allegations raise this had weekend by a former ally, that the governor was aware of the lane closures as they were happening. chris christie said his office would turn over material presented by federal prosecutors. >> we'll comply, cooperate with the u.s. attorney's inquiry into this. we'll comply with any of the documents that they've requested that are appropriate to turn over as quickly as we uncover them. >> reporter: christie also said he may have read reports of the gridlock in ft. lee in september but dismissed them as routine. >> there's traffic every day at the george washington bridge, at the lincoln tunnel, the holland tunnel. i hear those reports on the radio. we all hear about them. that's not something that rises to the gubernat rochlt. ial level. >> reporter: he suggested on friday that christie was not being truthful about what he knew about the bridge scandal.

>> what's going on now with all this other stuff is just a game of gotcha. you know, when did i first learn about this or that? well, the fact of the matter is, i've been very clear about this. before these lanes were closed, i knew nothing about it. i didn't plan it. i didn't authorize it. i didn't approve it. i knew nothing about it. >> reporter: shortly before the interview, bridget anne kelly, the aide who allegedly ordered the closures asserted her fifth amendment right against self incrimination and refused to produce documents requested by state investigators, joining long-time christie adviser bill stepien who, too, was resisting a subpoena issued to him. both were fired by christie last month. there may be more firings once an internal investigation completed. >> i can't wait for them to be finished so i can get the full story here. >> governor christie said he wants that investigation

completed as quickly as possible but did not give a specific timeframe. meanwhile the new jersey legislative committee investigating the lane closures says it has begun receiving documents from the 20 subpoenas the committee has issued. charlie and norah? >> elaine, thank you. now to what's being called one of the largest criminal investigations in army history. a senate hearing is just getting under way, focusing on alleged fraud in national guard recruiting. hundreds of soldiers are under investigation as nancy cordes reports from capitol hill, they're accused of taking kickbacks. >> reporter: both enlisted and officers may have played a role in this fraud. and what senators are going to be asking at this hour is how the military could have conceived of a program that was so ripe for abuse in the first place. the fraud started in the army national guard, in a program designed to boost recruitment when the guard was stretched thin and deployed to two wars in

2005. the guard created what it called the recruiting assistance program, offering guard members a bonus of up to $7,500 for every friend they convinced to enlist. >> it was so badly designed that, frankly, it wouldn't take a lot to figure out that fraud was going to be easy. >> reporter: missouri senator claire mccaskill said official recruiters not eligible for the finder's fee would get another member of the guard to officially take credit of the recruitment in exchange for the kickback. the scam was uncovered by an army audit in 2011 that said 1,200 recruiters and more than 2,000. >> there's an estimate that the fraud might be as high as $30 million. >> reporter: one guardsman alone alleg allegedly had $200,000. and now there are 500 criminal

investigations taking place across the country. including in colorado where christopher thomas clark is accused of receiving $30,000 to recruit individuals he never met. luke peelgran made $55,0$55,000 >> when somebody has an opportunity to commit crimes, especially those individuals working for the federal government. >> the program was shut down in 2012 but not before it spawned in the army and army reserves. 19 guard members have pled guilty so far in this growing scandal. norah and charlie? >> thanks, nancy. cruise ship tragedy is under investigation this morning off the coast of north carolina. two young children on a norwegian cruise line were pulled from a pool unconscious. one died. the other is hospitalized. manuel bojorquez is at port

canaveral, florida, where the ship makes its first stop today. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. the ship is scheduled to arrive here in just about two hours. the boy who survived was air lifted to a hospital. witnesses say there was no lifeguard on duty on board the norwegian breakaway. this is the second drowning in less than six months on board a major cruise line and it may reignite the debate over whether companies should be required to have a lifeguard on board. witnesses reported hearing a commotion followed by screams around 11:00 am monday as two young boys were pulled from the pool. >> they were drowning. there was water in their lungs. >> reporter: seth terpstrop was on the pool deck. cpr was begun. >> they were being resuscitated and water was coming out of their nose and mouths and i couldn't really bear to watch. >> reporter: by the time the coast guard arrived, the younger

boy had been pronounced dead. the older child was air lifted to a hospital in north carolina and is reportedly in stable condition. in a statement, norwegian cruise line said they were saddened by the tragedy. they went on to say emts responded immediately and quickly administered cpr to both children. but with no lifeguards, some passengers were frustrated by the lack of safety measures. >> to not have someone on duty doesn't make any sense. >> reporter: in october 2013, disney became the first and only major cruise line company to employ lifeguards at their pools. the move came six months after an incident on one of their ships, when a 4-year-old boy nearly drowned. and just weeks before disney's decision, a 6-year-old died after drowning on a carnival cruise. >> it comes down to money do cruise ships want to invest the money for a security force or lifeguard, comprehensive lifeguard service. >> reporter: cbs news travel

editor peter greenberg believes it is worth the price. >> you have a floating city at sea with six or seven different pools and no lifeguards on duty. people swim at their own risk. well, look what just happened. >> reporter: after docking here, the ship is expected to continue on its route, which includes two more stops before returning to port in new york on sunday. charlie and norah? >> manny bojorquez, thank you. the dow is up this morning after openi ining to a new low the year. dow industrials lost 326 points to close at 15,373. >> the index is down more than 7% in the past five weeks. cbs news contributor melody hobson. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what's the reason behind the slide? >> investors have been spooked by macroeconomic data. at the same time that the fed is pulling back on its bond buying

program. that has them very concerned that this won't be a clean handoff. yesterday's culprit was a number that came out from the institute for supply management, which gives a measured economic activity. it was a second month in a row that that number was down. and it was basically in line with what we've seen in may of 2013. additionally, the forward-looking new order index dropped 13 points, which is the biggest one-month drop since 1980. so, that has people reeling. >> do you think this means we're headed for a correction? >> i would not be surprised if we're headed for a correction. i mean, markets do not go straight up. we know that. we had a blowout year last year. so, it wouldn't be surprising, one, if people took profits. two, the economic data has been uneven which is, again, not surprising. and corrections are not necessarily a bad thing. they allow a buying opportunity. they allow some of the frothiness to go out of the

market. as i said before, markets do not go straight up. >> reviewing the federal reserve one more time, a sense of the impact if the tapering continues. >> okay. so if the tapering continues, what the fed is telling us -- and we should hear this loud and clear -- is that the economy is stabilizing and growing. so it's actually a very good economic sign. what i find interesting is that people are so concerned about the tapering. let's talk about the contrast. what if they stop the tapering and went back in? you think we have volatility now? the market would go crazy because the fed would be telling us things aren't good. >> and the market likes predictability and stability and doesn't like surprises. >> the market does not like uncertainty. that's for sure. >> all right. melody, good to see you. thank you so much. microsoft confirmed changing of the guard, ceo. he replaces the retiring steve

baumer. and bill gate sincere stepping down as chairman to become a technology adviser for the company. senate committee hearing on the massive credit and debit card breech is getting under way right now. executives from target and neiman marcus will testify. they warned yesterday that the problem is built into america's financial system. some critics call president obama the most liberal president in history. bill o'reilly of fox news asked about that in an interview last night but the president pointed to one of his gop predecessors. >> the truth of the matter is when you look at some of my policies in a lot of ways richard nixon was more liberal than i was, started the epa. you know, started a whole lot of the regulatory state that has helped make our air and water clean. >> that's interesting. nixon, that's interesting. >> well -- >> i thought you were going to say fdr. >> fdr, johnson. but i tend not to think about these things in terms of liberal and democrat -- or liberal and

conservative. at any given time the question is, what does the country need right now? >> the president meets today with house democrats. some of them believe he should be more progressive on issues like trade, energy and the minimum wage. an escaped killer is back in custody this morning, but the governor of michigan is promising an exhaustive rear view into how he got out. michael david elliot broke out of a facility in ionia, michigan. how the 150-mile long manhunt finally ended in indiana. >> reporter: convicted murderer was captured monday at laporte, indiana. >> we were able to pull him out from the vehicle and took him to the ground and, um, cuff him up. >> reporter: the 40-year-old suspect escape friday a michigan prison sunday night. police say he used his bare hands to climb through two fences. >> it's not every day that a convicted killer escapes prison

and makes his or her way to smalltown u.s.a. >> reporter: reportedly car jacked a red jeep shortly after his escape on sunday, kidnapping the driver. >> 911. >> i'm being held -- i'm hostage to an escaped convict. >> reporter: police say the woman was able to use her hidden cell phone to call 911 when they stopped for gas in elkhart, india indiana. >> is that him? >> yes. he's knocking on the bathroom door saying let's go. >> i don't want you to talk. okay? because i don't want him to hear you talking. stay on in the bathroom. okay? >> reporter: he was able to flee before police arrived. >> we're going to continue to move this way. >> reporter: police searched door to door. schools were locked down and residents were advised to stay indoors after the jeep was discovered abandoned in this parking lot in shipshewana, indiana. he will be shipped back to

michigan to face these new charges on top of the life sentences he is already serving. terrell brown, new york. four members of a family are dead this morning after their small plane crashed near a ymca outside nashville. authorities say the gulfstream flight from central kansas missed its first landing try last night. it was about to make a second attempt. no one on the ground was hurt. >> time to show this morning's headlines from around the globe. national journal says lawmakers and their aides took nearly 1,900 free trips last year. that is the biggest number since new rule vbs put in place since the jack abramoff scandal. the cost of travel? nearly $6 million. >> times of london looks at what's being called a tidal wave of cancer. cases will surge by 70% over the next two decades. it calls for a shift in research toward prevention. >> "the new york times" says

drug dealer. as vinita nair reports hoffman may be the latest victim of an ominous trend. >> reporter: police said they found more than 70 bags that tested positive for heroin in a manhattan apartment where philip seymour hoffman was found dead sunday morning. they were labeled "ace of hearts" and "ace of spades." in addition to heroin, muscle relaxers, blood pressure medication and a drug often used to treat addiction. while the sudden death of hoffman is increasing the awareness of the drug, heroin abuse is spreading to some american towns. in pennsylvania 22 people across

six counties died in less than two weeks after using heroin laced with a powerful narcotic. and in vermont officials reported a 800% increase in opiate drug abuse since 2000. >> it's a challenge that is really destroying too much lives. >> reporter: governor peter shumlin dedicated his entire state of the state to the growing epidemic. >> it doesn't affect just one class of people. it affects rich and poor. it affects republicans and democrats. in knows no party lines. it knows no economic lines. >> reporter: one government study found between 2003 and 2011 heroin use in the u.s. doubled. 19 year tyler segal. >> heroin, you would think normally is not in our suburbs but it is. >> reporter: chris goldrick is

director of the drug task force. he said they're using prescriptions painkillers and users develop a tolerance to those, they turn to stronger substances. >> once you run out of that opiate-based prescription drugs now we're dealing with a more hearty drug, or even more in heroin. >> reporter: accessible and increasingly dangerous. for "cbs this morning," vinita nair, new york. and this morning, a former principal is under arrest. andrea cardosa drew national attention after a former student posted it on youtube. the caller was 12 years old at the time. >> you realize that you brainwashed me and you manipulated me? and that what you did was wrong? >> yes. and i regret it. >> you sicken me. you sicken me. and every day when i think about

what you did, you sicken me. >> the video now has nearly 1 million views. cardosa resigned as the video went online. this morning, cardosa is charged with five counts of aggravated sexual assault on a child. and 11 counts of abuse on two victims. rikki klieman is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> how strong of a case does the prosecution have? >> the prosecution actually does have a strong case. in a case where we might have expected a woman who is now 28 says i was molested at the age of 12 and suddenly comes forward. what we think immediately, you watch this youtube video, and you say, how could this teacher admit over and over, very remorseful about what she had done to this child. what we have to remember is, this video is not admissible in evidence. so we have the word of the child who's now an adult. well, it might not have been enough until the prosecution knew there were these

admissions. >> what about that, the tape may not be admissible or maybe she makes confession or apologizes but now there's a second victim that's come forward? >> well the good thing about this tape. maybe it's a lesson for all of us about unearthing these kinds of crimes by posting this youtube video with the admissions from the offending teacher, another woman came forward. and if i'm an investigator in this case, i'm saying there are other women throughout. this was a woman who was a coach for various sports. she was a teacher, she was a principal. so we want to see who else may have been molested. >> what's the statute of limitations. >> unbelievable, charlie. i'm doing the research late last night. we used to think of the statutes as five years, seven years, ten years. ordinarily it would be blocked. that's the last time at age 18 someone could say someone molested me as a child. in california it is a life felony.

no statute of limitations. really revolutionary. i think that's going to come across the country where other states say, look, we want to protect children from pedophilia, from molestation. we are not going to have a statute. >> and that's why this case is so interesting. because you think it's going to draw attention to the statute of limitation, and some other states may follow california? >> yes, indeed. i really found it absolutely stunning in a good way. children need to be protected from predators. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, rikki. good to see you. this morning, severe weather means a higher chance of crashes on the nation's highways today. but your next vehicle could be so smart, you might spot a threat before you do by talking with other cars. that's right, in washington, jeff pegues shows us how the government plans to make the technology a reality on the roads. jeff, good morning. >> good morning, norah, charlie. this technology will enable cars to anticipate events that humans

can't see up ahead. the cars of the future will be communicating or talking. giving drivers 360 degrees of protection. protecting the blind spot, protecting the front of the car, with transponders similar to that one, the government believes cars will be safer. >> reporter: two cars up, the driver is about to slam on his brakes. we can't see it. but this car can. alerting the driver to the danger ahead before he can even react. vehicle-to-vehicle communication is on the cutting edge of the automotive technology. and according to the department of transportation, it has the potential to prevent up to 80% of accidents that aren't caused by drunk driving or mcechanical failure. on monday, the government will announce it will likely require all cars to contain v2v technology. the technology allows cars to

communicate wirelessly transmitting their speed and transition. it gives drivers another pair of eyes in blind spots and around corners before accidents. but there are concerns about privacy. whether the technology will be able to record and track movement. as well as share drivers' personal information. officials insist that it won't be able to do that. david friedman is with the national highway traffic safety administration. >> we're incredibly confident in the desection of this technology. >> reporter: friedman says the v2v will outweigh costs. >> thousands of lives are going to be saved with this technology, at a cost that's similar to many of other major improvements in highway safety that we've seen. >> research on v2v has been ongoing for about a decade. ford is among the automakers in the u.s. that has been studying the technology. they and others believe that v2v is the basis for a lot of what automakers will be doing in the

future. including cars that can actually drive themselves. charlie, norah. >> i like this, don't you? >> i do i think it's a great idea. >> what scares me when you're turning on a freeway, and you're going pass someone that there's a blind spot before you turn, to eliminate that fear. >> yeah. they say 80% of accidents can be prevented. when i back up in my car i get the beeping thing. that's helpful. >> absolutely. thank you, jeff. putin. i'm mark phillips. putin's game, coming up on "cbs this morning."

environmental cost. and it's more putin, the man's man stuff. the russian bred has become famous for his shirtless athletic pursuits. putting on the games is the greatest expression so far of the action man image he cultivates. and a columbia senior fellow counsel on foreign relations says it's no accident. >> tiger hunting, bare chested, horseback riding. these things are now kind of internationally known. he has emphasized his ruggedness. he is a judo expert. and the games fit in with that. but they also are supposed to symbolize not just his role but russia's reemergence on the international scene. >> he even laced on the skates and strapped on the boards to embrace winter sports. russia, like russia's leaders, he was saying, had changed.

the days of boris yeltsin's heart-wrenching indulgence were over. russia and its leader were now lean and mean. the sporting extension of politics. different perhaps from the old soviet days when the country was a major sports player that used the olympics as a propaganda tool but not that different. sochi's message is that russia is back. but there are risks. >> they have exposed russian corruption. they have focused international attention on russia's disciminatory ways against gays. >> russia and its leader will be perceived around the world by how thes some high clouds now streaming across our skies, maybe not too long and we're

part of the country. governor christie addressed allegations that he was aware of the lane closures as they were happening. >> i did not plan it or authorize eyes it or approve it, knew nothing about it. >> how the military could have conceived of something so ripe for abuse in the first place. >> i am not surprised if we are headed for a correction. markets do not go straight up. we know that. >> this technology will enable cars to anticipate events that humans can't see up ahead. the cars in the future will be communicating or talking. they are called the olympic games, but they may as well call them the putin games. never before have the games been this closely identified with one personality. >> people are accusing bob dylan of selling out, and he responded by saying, everybody needs to calm down and have a bud light

impacting more than 29 states as you mentioned, and 100 million people under some sort of advisory, watch or warning. it starts in oklahoma, and in kansas, missouri, and then spreads to the north and east and into st. louis, and chicago, and indianapolis and columbus and off into pennsylvania and headed for new york, boston and d.c. by tomorrow. what we expect to see is potentially a rain-snow mix for parts of new york and washington, but accumulations are going to be intense in an almost 2,000-mile swath from kansas all the way off to maine. we could see 6 to 12 inches of snowfall, and it's impacting many cities across the nation, and hate to be the barrier of bad news, but i see another storm system come into play this weekend. >> megan, thank you. a final "yes" vote is expected on the massive farm bill today.

sharyl attkisson is in washington where she says the bill is seriously flawed. good morning. >> good morning, the farm bill would spend $956 billion over 10 years, and it's 949-pages, so that's a billion of spending per page. both parties say it's a big money saver, many say it has lots for special interests. >> tom schatz with citizens against government waste says the farm bill will hurt consumers, like a 15 cent fee on every christmas tree. and the bill increases spending to $200 million a year for a program to promote agriculture and past year's tax dollars were used to pay for a reality show in india to promote cotton, and

promoting the maple syrup industry. and then the new bill will have a cat fishin' specktion offiinf even though there is one like it near. and then there's a program that is said to help the sugar producers. >> it's a control system that keeps the price of sugar artificially high, and it prevents the cost of low imports around the world. >> both parties insist the farm bill is an improvement because it cuts down on waste and abuse and repeals outdated programs. >> this farm bill saves $23 billion in federal dollars, and it makes critical reforms to target resources where they are most needed while also giving farmers the opportunity to

thrive. >> while congress says this one does save money, it's 50% more expensive than the one from 2008. charlie, norah, gayle? >> thank you. transportation officials say they will find out why so many super bowl fans had so much trouble getting home after the game. thousands waited hours to get to trains and buses, and transit officials say the demand was higher than expected, and one thing was the weather, and more unlikely cities are now warming to the idea of hosting the big game. the nfl doesn't like to leave anything to chance on super bowl sunday. before sunday 43 of the 47 super bowls were played in one of five warm weather states, places like florida, california, and the others inside domes, so sunday's game was either a bold experiment or a very big gamble. the game was high-scoring and one-sided.

the half-time show was spectacular, and the game time temperature was in the high 40s. basically the first outdoor super bowl played in the cold weather city went off without a hitch. hours after the seahawks accepted the lombardi troefy, this happened, snow. the giants' owner, jonathan tisch explained. >> you have been checking your app? >> every hour. you think i am obsessive, gayle, i am doing it every hour. >> and the door seems open to other nfl cities, like washington, d.c., and chicago, and everyone from owners to politicians are looking to make a pitch. >> philly would be a great place to host it. it has all the infrastructure, and fourth largest city in the

country, and state of the art stadium and great fan base. and there's others that will want to host it, too. >> new york senator, charles schumer, thinks the super bowl set a new precedent. >> i think there will be other cold cities that apply, and we welcome it, and new york will be in the regular rotation as houston, phoenix, or new orleans. >> and hundreds of workers shovelled out the seats due to another storm, but the monthly temperature of the host city must average 50 degrees. >> i have never been afraid of a cold super bowl. >> there are great fan bases and huge markets that i think would love to host the super bowl. >> it may be a while before we see snow near a super bowl game,

because it will be phoenix next year, and so we're looking at 2019 before joe namath may need to pull that fur coat out of storage and use it again. >> i was worried about the cold weather super bowl, but this was a pleasant experience. >> it will keep it more interesting, more interesting than the,,

taking the 50/50 chance was never something we considered. >> using ivf, doctors were able to implant the embryos, and amanda gave birth to twins and had a son last year. >> what we have been through is an option out there that could completely eradicate diseases like this. >> pgd has been around for years, but it is still a developing science. researchers say it's the first time this has been used to screen for this type of condition. >> there are people who question whether somebody who knows they might have a premature death is in a good position to have children? >> it doesn't matter how i die. it doesn't matter how i look tomorrow, it's the now, it's what they learn now and what i teach them now that's going to affect them in the future.

>> experts say people with the tphao disorders similar to amanda's, they could get treatment like amanda. critics say it could become a slippery slope. >> doctor, it's fascinating because i think many people would support the idea of trying to prevent a terrible genetic disease, and yet the technology also allows people to make designer babies, gender selection, use eye color and hair color, and what about the slippery slope? >> you are right, norah. the technology to truly design your baby is there right now, and that's where the questions arise. what we are going to do as a society about and where we are going to draw the line. >> no regulations in america about this? >> not yet, but i have to say that's not being done yet, and people are not saying i want blue or green eyes, and they are

earlier, when people start saying in the airports, hey, i like your new show, then you know you're doing something right. >> why is it so popular? >> you know, i think it's when i read stories about these unspeakable things people do to each other, i wonder what happened in this person's life to make them capable of that. i think that's a universal kind of theme. the show does very well all over the world, and i think that's part of the reason. >> well, it's the only show that really focuses on the criminal mind. the killer's instinct. what makes them tick. there's something fascinating about disconcerting about it, too, do you think so? >> absolutely disconcerting. we all know about stranger danger, all of that. that's been hammered into us for so many years. it's the neighbor who suddenly, you know, has bodies in the backyard. >> the neighbor with the dog. >> yeah. >> many people know you from

the driveway. or the kids would be in the backyard and i was nowhere to be found. or i was around and the kids were nowhere to be found. >> reporter: she was living in a fog, just trying to get through each day. in 1992, the couple had a third child, cassidy who became as much a sister as she was a daughter. >> i think that i, a lot of times, am i voice for my mom in certain situations. we're very much like a team. >> it's not normal that your kids come home from school and tell you what they learned that day so you can learn something. and benjamin started dho ed doi as soon as he went to school. he would come home and tell me what he learned. that's what i learned with him. >> reporter: today, su is pursuing a dream to finish her education. she's in the final semester at smith college where she works in the library and sings in the glee club. ♪ she's never recovered any of those lost memories.

but su doesn't mourn what she doesn't miss. she just creates new one. >> you wrote a lot about coming back to yourself in the long recovery process. do you feel whole now? >> does anybody ever feel whole? >> writing the books certainly added pieces to the puzzle that is my life that i will always have. i've learned so much about myself. and each one of those stories is just a few more pieces in a puzzle. >> su says she hopes the book will shine a light on the struggles with traumatic drain injuries. and wants everybody to be patient and understanding. and she told me that it's important for loved ones to know the person they're getting back may not be the person they once knew. >> is there any possibility she could regain her memory? >> well, it's been 20 years, so she hasn't gotten those memories

back. she's relearned it all. she had to relearn what love meant. what it meant to feel the love of her husband and children. >> there had been to me many layers to them. especially their relationship together. >> it's such a complicated in the story. in the book, they talk about jim feeling distant from her. feeling like she was a child and not a wife. he steps out of the marriage and finds intimacy elsewhere. it's an honest memoir. really important. >> but they're getting through it. thank you, lee. tomorrow on "cbs this morning," a group of american monks turns to an unlikely trade. how beer could be their salvation. all right. that's tomorrow. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,, this may sound like a long shot,
