>> reporter: forced to ring out his textbook, college student logan hamm now has to deal with a damaged car. >> that doesn't look good. >> reporter: believe it or not, the airport is still operating. in the midst of all of this damage right here behind me. there were no reports of any injury. >> that is some good news, demarco, thank you. we're learning new details about the time line of the deadly ambush in niger. four american soldiers were killed in the battle with isis-linked militants. the chairman of the joint chiefs now says the u.s. troops waited one hour to call for help. french air power arrived less than an hour after that. major garrett is at the white house with the growing questions surrounding the mission. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. from his earlier days in office, president trump has encouraged battlefield commanders to conduct more counterterrorism operations, gather intelligence, engage the enemy. all while promising minimal second-guessing from washington. that approach may face its

greatest and deadliest test in niger. with senator john mccain and others asking for more answers and hinting about investigations. >> cap yn you tell the public w happened? >> reporter: president trump ignored the questions monday about the mission in niger. his top military adviser general joseph dunford denied the pentagon was withholding any information. >> i think we owe the american people transparency incidents and we continue to deliver just that. >> reporter: dunford released some basic details. october 3rd, 12 american soldiers joined 30 fighters on the mission north of the nation's capital. a day later, the group came under attack from approximately 50 well-train and well-equipped militants associated with or inspired by isis. gunfire waged for more than an hour before the americans radioed for help. within minutes, a surveillance drone was overhead. it was another hour before french air cover arrived. staff sergeant brian black,

jeremiah johnson and justin wright were killed in action and evacuated that evening. the body of la david johnson wasn't recovered until two days later. >> questions about it, why four men died. >> reporter: senate armed services committee chairman john mccain said americans want to know what went wrong and what the mission was about. along with those answers, dunford vowed to find out why johnson was separated from his unit. >> every time i asked to see my husband, they wouldn't let me. >> reporter: mired in a dispute with the president over his condolence call to her, she says she has as many questions as anybody. >> i don't know how he got killed, where he got killed or anything. >> reporter: dunford said pentagon policy allows families to see the remains of a fallen loved one if they so desire. dunford said he did not know if johnson's widow was denied that right but would find out. through all of this, the white house has deferred to the pentagon investigation. but pressure is building on the commander in chief to demand answers or, at minimum, try to

provide them. >> major, thank you. president trump will meet with senate republicans at the capital in a few hours. at 10:00 a.m. pacific time to lay out his priorities for tax reform. nancy cordes is on capitol hill right now where the president's opposition to the proposal may complicate this effort. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. one of the things that republicans have been mulling over is how to pay for all of these cuts they want to make to corporate and individual taxes. one idea they came up with was capping the amount that workers can contribute to their 401ks. but as soon as that was reported, president trump publicly nixed it, tweeting on monday that the 401k is a popular middle class tax break that works and it stays. now, this bill is still being drafted. so we still don't know if there are going to be three tax brackets or four. we don't know if the top bracket is going to come down or not. we also don't know who's going to fit in to what bracket so

it's really hard to say right now whether a middle income earner would pay the same rate that they do currently or a lower one. we do know that republicans have said they are not going to touch the mortgage deduction or the deduction for charitable giving. all of this, however, is moot, if congress does not pass a budget soon. that is a prerequisite for tax reform. and the president urged the house in a phone call over the weekend to just go ahead and pass the budget that was passed by the senate last week. but some conservatives are bulking. they worry that a $1.5 trillion price tag is just too high. it's going to add too much to the deficit. charlie. >> thank you so much, nancy. police in tampa, florida, are intensifying their hunt for a possible serial killer it dozens of officers are patrolling around the clock, looking for anything suspicious. they're also warning residents not to travel by themselves. three people were shot and

killed in the past two weeks while walking alone in the same neighborhood. omar villa fran ka on efforts to keep people safe. >> reporter: not only have police increased patrols in this neighborhood, they're also handing out light bulbs so residents can keep their front porch lights on. city crews are going around and fixing street lamps. the goal is to get rid of dark spots where someone could hide. residents say they're not relaxing until a suspect is caught. >> can you tell maybe the audience some tips so those people who have to go to work at night who may have to walk at night, what they can do to be safe? >> reporter: anxious for answers about a possible serial killer still on the loose -- >> we keep saying one person? we think one person, but isn't this kind of of what we would see with a gang? >> reporter: roughly 400 people packed into an elementary school auditorium monday evening to hear any updates from city officials. >> we filmed him.

we saw him walking. we noticed that person. so why was he not walking -- was he walking to a home? >> reporter: there are also questions concerning this surveillance video showing a man police say they want to talk to. he was walking in the area when one of the three victims, benjamin mitchell, was murdered. >> there's a very good likelihood that someone in this room knows who's doing it. >> reporter: police chief brian dugan wasn't ready to dismiss anyone in the community as a potential suspect or even a person of interest. >> this pains me to tell you that if you're out there walking alone, that you're either a suspect or a potential victim. >> reporter: tampa mayor bob buckhorn didn't hold back in pleading for the public's help. >> we need you to call us and let us know what's going on. that's how we're going to catch this guy. and we will hunt this son of a [ bleep ] down until we find him. >> reporter: police are also urging any homeowners with security cameras to turn over

any footage of suspicious activity. with halloween just around the corner, parents are worried, but the police chief said police will be flooding this area and even he'll be out on patrol. >> omar, thank you. drug poison deaths are at the highest level the government has ever recorded. a new agency reports on an average of 140 people died every day from drug poisoning in 2015. controlled prescription drugs, including opioids, have been linked to the largest number of illegal drug overdose deaths in 2001. they kill more people than firearms, car crashes, suicides or homicides. on thursday, president trump is expected to declare a national opoid emergency. former fox news host bill o'reilly used his podcast last night to fire back at a "new york times" report on payouts for sexual harassment claims. the tooips says that six women received settlements totaling about $35 million from o'reilly or 21st century fox.

o'reilly says he is mad at god over misconduct allegations. anna warner is here with how he is hitting back. >> good morning. bill o'reilly says he wants the story to go away but went public to defend himself, telling those listening he did nothing wrong. >> anybody who doesn't like me will believe all the stuff. that the smear merchants put out. because they want to believe it. >> reporter: bill o'reilly fired back against sexual harassment allegations last night on his podcast. >> am i mad at god? yeah, i'm mad at him. i wish i had more protection. >> reporter: "the new york times" reported o'reilly agreed to pay former fox news legal analyst lis wiehl a stunning $32 million after she claimed he repeatedly sexually harassed her. she signed a affidavit renouncing the allegations. o'reilly couldn't comment on the settlement but said this. >> i've never had a complaint filed against me anywhere by anyone. >> reporter: statements like

that drew this response from former fox news host megyn kelly. >> o'reilly's suggestion that no one ever complained about his behavior is false. i know because i complained. >> reporter: kelly says she sent an e-mail to her bosses at fox after o'reilly was asked about her allegations of sexual harassment against roger ailes on "cbs this morning." >> sexual harassment, you're not interested in sexual harassment? >> i'm not interested in basically litigating something that is finished, that makes my network look bad, okay. i'm not interested in making my network look bad at all. that doesn't interest me one bit! >> so apparently she complained to someone. that's not a formalint. it wasn't lodged with anybody. i didn't even know about it. >> reporter: speaking to "the times" last week, o'reilly was defiant. >> this is bull [ bleep ], bull [ bleep ]. >> reporter: after the interview, with microphones still recording, o'reilly said the controversy was taking a toll. >> this is horrible. it's horrible what i went through. horrible what my family went

through. this is crap and you know it. >> reporter: yesterday, o'reilly posted thank you notes on his website for megyn kelly and former fox host gretchen carlson from the time when they worked together. in kelly's note, she called o'reilly a true friend and mentor and carlson writes, thank you so much for supporting me. thank you for being my friend. carlson responded on twitter to all of this, saying, so what, still paid 32 million. carlson settled with fox for $21 million after alleging sexual harassment by former chief roger ailes. megyn kelly claims she reported o'reilly's behavior to fox before he was ousted. we reached out to the company but have not heard before, norah. >> anna, thank you. record breaking heat will create dangerous fire conditions today in southern california. excessive heat warnings in effect from santa barbara to south of san diego. triple digit temperatures are expected across the region. firefighters are preparing for a potential repeat of the devastating wildfires that tore

through northern california earlier this month. the extreme heat could affect game one of the world series tonight at dodgers stadium. jamie is there with the impact for players and fans. jamie, good morning. >> at first pitch, temperatures are expected to be in the mid-90s and could hit 100 degrees. if that happen that will make it the hottest world series on record. the last time a record was set was 2001ed an 94 degrees. all that scorching heat has the city of los angeles bringing an extra paramedics for tonight's game. the crowd of more than 55,000 fans expected at dodgers stadium tonight need to be prepared for the dangerously high heat. downtown los angeles shattered a previous record monday, hitting 102 degrees as the heat wave blanketed southern california cities. >> hot day. >> reporter: adding to the concern, a high pressure system creating winds that could reach 60 miles an hour in places. firefighters are moving trucks in place to attack flare-ups

quickly. >> right now we're looking in some ways kind of like the perfect storm when you get this increased temperature, you get this wind in particular, in addition to that, you have such dry conditions. >> reporter: this threat comes more than two weeks after similar powerful wind gusts and several northern california wildfires racing into communities at terrifying speeds. the destructive fires killed more than 40 people and damaged 8,400 structures. this week's hot weather is forcing 85 san diego schools and dozens in long beach to end classes early because of a lack of air conditioning. even people escaping to the beach for release were caught off guard. >> did you think it would be 100 degrees in october? >> no. they told me, everyone i'm here with, they told me it wouldn't be this hot and i walk out here and start pouring sweat in five seconds. >> reporter: some dodgers players hope the unusually late season heat wave will help their game. >> when it's hot here in l.a., the ball tends to fly a little further so hopefully we can get some balls in the air.

>> reporter: extreme heat isn't the only concern here at dodgers stadium. those strong wind gusts are supposed to start at game time, 25-mile-per-hour gusts coming n from right field, straight at home plate. >> a lot to think about when you go to the game. a doping scandal is rocking the famous iditarod sled dog race. four dogs belonging to four-time champion dallas seavey have failed drug tests. race officials say they tested positive for a banned opoid painkiller after finishing this year's race. he says he never gave his dogs any banned substance. he believe someone gave the drug to his dog maliciously. he says he's now pulling out of next year's 1000-mile race in protest. a former employee breaking her legal agreement not to talk about harvey weinstein. how nondisclosure agreements kept the alleged sexual misbehavior hidden for years. legal analyst rikki klieman right here in studio with a look

communist china's founder. the new york state attorney general is launching a sifl rights investigation of the weinstein company. eric schneiderman's office issued a subpoena for company records. he wants to know if any weinstein employees at headquarters faced discrimination or harassment. weinstein was fired from the company earlier this month. more than 6 0 women have accused him of abuse. harvey weinstein's former assistant at miramax is breaking her nondisclosure agreement, telling "the financial times" that weinstein requested a massage while in his underwear. he asked for a bath and tried to wake her up. she split a settlement with miramax for $425 and signed a nondisclosure agreement in 199. miramax is not commenting.

harvey weinstein has denied all allegations. rikki klieman joins us at the table to discuss. hello. let's talk about zelda perkins breaking the nondisclosure agreement. who does that hurt now? >> we have to look at the fact there are two types of nondisclosure agreements. if either of them are broken, there's a possibility of damages. we all basically sign a nondisclosure agreement in a company that says that if we leave a company that we are not going to disparage that company, we're not going to give away trade secrets, we're not going to say bad things. we'll put that to one side. now we'll look at the sexual harassment, abuse, possibly assault nondisclosure agreements. what happens in those are two people, the perpetrator and the victim, agree to a contract. and what they say is the woman -- we'll use woman for sake of the consideration -- the woman gets the money but she

must remain quiet. she must never say anything. and the company may or may not have to disclose that agreement. and the perpetrator or the company pays the money. now, what happens to zelda perkins? if you violate a confidentiality agreement, you've broken a contract. so, you might have to pay the money back and there might be clauses where you have to pay damages. >> lots of people sign nondisclosure agreements. if you sign a nondisclosure agreement and you are sexually harassed or assaulted, what are your rights? >> you do have rights. we don't think that in any way a non -- a confidentiality agreement, also known as nondisclosure agreement, totally silenceses you because of the court system. perfect example. bill cosby and andrea, who was the victim, who testified against bill cosby in the criminal trial, she kept her

confide confident agreement. once a judge ordered her to testify, of course she can testify. you also don't have to say, if i sign a confidean agreement, you protected by going to the police first or equal opportunity employment commission first. there comes a time you can talk about the cause, you just can't talk about your case. >> but many people feel they have been used to cover up a crime, to keep it silent. >> well, you cannot be paid to cover up a crime. so, these become very touchy negotiations if it's sexual assault. you cannot be a lawyer and advise someone that take the money and don't go forward and prosecute. that's a crime. >> but in the case with bill o'reilly and lis wiehl, "the new

york times" has reported that it was because he allegedly sent gay porn to her and that there was a nonconsensual sexual relationship. isn't that a crime? >> is it may or may not be a crime. the thing is that this is a private agreement between lis wiehl and bill o'reilly we're given reason to believe happened and -- >> in your experience, $32 million, is that an unusually large sum? >> unusual. takes my breath away. absolutely takes my breath away. >> and would suggest what? that she had some sort of evidence or something that was really -- >> yes, of course. in fact, we know that they are supposed to, as part of that -- >> the fear to give up $32 million. >> you must have feared something. all physical evidence is to be destroyed. voice mail, documents, text, anything they might have had.

strong terms that the president is untruthful. >> you guys can easily check what'sd and know that much of what he says isn't true, but all of it is untrue and some of that you'll be able to check. i think the worst of it is going to be just the basing, if you will, of our nation. i think that will be the contribution that hurts our nation most. >> do you think the president is defacing the nation? >> i don't think there's any question that that's the case just in the way that he conducts himself and he goes to such a low level. >> the feud broke out shortly after we spoke with senator corker earlier this morning. we start the interview by his comments to "the new york times" come which he said the threat was reckless and could put the world on a path toward world war iii. it's a shame that the white

house has become an adult day care. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> you laid it all out there. >> we're just getting started. >> i know! and now the president's coming to capitol hill to talk with you guys about tax reform today. i know you've said you think the president should step aside from this process. is he being a distraction? are the comments that he's making, the tweets making it harder to get tax reform done? >> well, we've got one thing that's not talked about in this process enough is we have $4 trillion worth of loopholes, credits. we've got things that have to be closed. this is what the american people want. they want tax reform that makes it simple for them to fill out their tax returns, but if you keep taking those things off the table in advance then you really don't have a path to get to this $4 trillion number which is important to do what's been laid out and i would let the tax writing committee do their work. i think both the house and

senate have done a lot of preliminary work and stay out of taking things off the table and negotiating against the process before it even begins. >> i understand what you're saying because there is a suggestion by republicans on capitol hill that it's time to cap the contributions for 401(k)s by wealthy americans. the president said yesterday in a tweet there will be no change. that seems to be hurting the process, you're saying. >> again, there are a number of other things. there was the state and local deductions and people moving away from that. so, look, it's not religion to me which ones we close or not close at this point, but we need to leave everything on the table to be successful and when you begin on the front end taking things off it makes it more difficult. i hope we can be successful. i hope we can create economic growth and i hope to do so without in any way increasing the deficit which is the greatest threat to america right now. >> senator, the former president george bush, george w. bush, bush 43, former senator and

president barack obama have all spoken about the country and the mood of the country. without naming the president they seem to be doing what you also have spoken about, the fitness of the president and what are your concerns about this president? >> well, look, i -- this is i've gotten to know the president in a very unique way over the course of the last year, and i guess, like all americans, i would have hope that he would rise to the occasion and bring out the best in our nation, charlie. hopefully what presidents do is to try to bring the country together, to unify around common goals and not to debase our country, if you will and that has not happened and i'm be goning to believe that it's not going to happen and i think that's what president bush and president obama and it appears to be the governing model of th white house to purposely divide.

that's what happened after the virginia incident and it's to consolidate the base and not to bring people together and to bring out the better angels of the people in our country. this is a great nation and without us doing that it not only affects us and future generations, but it affects the world and so i hope -- i don't really hold out a lot of hope, but i hope that somehow a little bit different course of action could be taken. >> we keep hearing privately, senator corker that many people feel the way you do. what's being done about it on capitol hill? >> we are separate and equal branches, but there's tremendous power that resides in the white house. one of the things we're doing beginning a week from this coming monday night, we will begin to walk through a series for the use of military force and what powers the president has, talk about some of the international alignments that we have that are very important to

our country, making the american people even more aware of some of the destructive things that are happening. so, you know, that's one thing we can do and it can also be a check legislatively, but look, an individual in that particular position has tremendous power to set the tone for our country, and unfortunately, it's being set in a way they think it's not bringing out the best in the citizens that we treasure in the country. i'm doing the best i can without, you know, trying to do so in a statesmanlike manner, and ink this is shared by many americans. >> is it easy for you to speak out the way you do because you're not running? >> i spoke out before i announced i wasn't running. i think everybody's aware of that. it's been building for some time. i made very strong comments after the incident in virginia when, again, it felt like the

president was just trying to consolidate a base of people that do so in a way that i thought was very inappropriate and even before i've made comments and it's been building for some time. i came up here on a two-term mission. i told people in tennessee that i couldn't imagine serving more than two terms. i have felt independence the entire time i've been in the senate. >> thank you, senator. >> thank you. >> thank you all. >> thank you. airman at a colorado air force base are ready to warn the world about threats from space and we'll a dry and hot day but no clouds in sight. get ready for the heat. it will be hotter than what we experienced yesterday with

was a huge story for us. we worked on it for months. it was really a fantastic, i think, example of what we tried to do. >> that story is not over for "60 minutes." just based on what we hear. >> we hope to have that kind of impact. a lot of times we judge ourselves on the investigative reporting. >> let's talk about how it started, jeff. it was bumpy in the beginning. it was 75th out of 81 programs. which i just -- and it was not always on sunday nights. >> no, it actually started on tuesday. >> and moved all around the place. >> this is 1968. >> it was on every other week. it wasn't even on every week and taken off the air and put on the air. and, eventually, it settled in at 7:00 on sunday in 1975. and it was bouncing around all that time. it was new. it was still new. and it was mike wallace and dan rather joined.

that first sunday 7:00 and from then on it took off. >> the thinking has always been don't talk down to the viewers but don't assume they know as much as they do. which is interesting. >> one of the founders of cbs news and donahuewit hammered it into us. understand that we don't underestimate our viewer, ever. i think we like to do smart stories. we like to do important stories and we always want them to get a better understanding of the world because of what we're reporting. >> talk about some of the correspondents you have worked with. >> some of the greats, really. it's amazing. i mean, beginning with donahuewit, actually. because he's a big part of this book and he's a huge part of our story and wouldn't happen without him. just a creative genius. >> he said something memorable. all we do here can be summed up in four words. go tell a story. >> he was an amazing character. full of life. larger than life. and he was a great editor, as

well. really good story teller. and i think that's a huge part of what we have become. why we became that. and mike wallace joining us up with donahuewit and, my gosh -- >> you said that was lennon and mccarthy. >> that's right. i do. i compare them to lennon and mccarthy. it was those two unique characters that had so much to do and today, still, with how we operate and the way we approach stories and mike, you know, you know, charlie because he explained his interviewing techniques to you, i think, and actually complimenting you at the time. how to get to the truth in an interview, which is not easy to do. especially if someone doesn't want the truth out. so, and, also, what a rascal. >> oh, yeah. >> yeah. >> he and i tell stories in the book about mike because he was so much fun to be around. and at the same time, so difficult. a combination of the two. and, you know, always in the halls very much like he was on the air which was if he gained a

few pounds, he would make sure you knew it. and if he didn't like your story on sunday night, he'd tell you that, too. if he liked it -- >> no, go ahead. >> let's talk about -- >> morally, morally brought something really different and part of, i think, why he -- because he was such a great writer. so, his stories were built around the pros and i think part of that was because mike wallace started stealing stories from him. and he had to come up -- >> you said mike was a tough competit competitor. >> he morally had to come up with something that was unique. he did. the kind of whimsical tale and adventure he would take. >> bradley mentioned as a joke that he would change his name, which i think is hilarious. at a place like cbs. you mentioned both norah and charlie in the book which i was very touched by and well deserved. you said this about charlie, part of why he succeeds comes

across as well read and he is all that and more. is he? he is, jeff baker? >> i love charlie rose. >> we all do. but you said 60, despite its success, is still evolving. >> it is evolving. i think that we are more irrelevant on the news today than we were for many years and i think that's important today. but, you know, the fundamentals haven't changed over all these years and i think that's a big part of the success. >> well, let me just say, you add, there is aneft in the editing room to make sure you've got it right and you have been fair. >> yes. >> yes. >> and, also, in i think the process is so interesting about how rigorous the process is before something makes it on the air. >> yes. >> with you at the helm of that, which oprah was praising here just last week. >> it can be intense. >> oprah said it is very daunting. you said like being at yankee stadium as a rookie pitching and

batting for the first time. she said it was very intense. >> one of the first screenings the light came on after and he said, where do you want a kid? right between the eyes. >> he wasn't pleased. >> that is sometimes how it feels. >> but in a good way. >> it's not personal. it's direct. i think a lot of that translates on the air. but in the interest of fairness and accuracy, it should be intense. >> well, bravo to you, jeff, because they only had two people at the helm. donahuewit and you. >> donahuewit never wrestled -- >> we were fortunate enough to be with putin for the interview that charlie did, which was so memorable. >> who won? >> at the end of it, we had this long dinner and charlie asked him if he liked to arm wrestle and i said, let's know. and that was a draw. >> it was a draw. i was there. >> i was afraid i might beat him. i called the draw. >> there you go. >> putin to give him his he is very good at it.

>> he is very good at it. >> thank you, jeff. congratulations. 50 years of "60 minutes" is on sale today. best selling author john grisham doesn't stay away from current events in his novel happy hot tuesday to all of you. it will not even be cool along the water today with temperatures well above average and here's what you can expect, 20 degrees above where we should be with record-breaking conditions and offshore winds from the east bringing humidity levels down and the temperatures way up. napa and santa rosa expected to break records with temperatures in the mid-90s. 87 in san francisco.

john grisham is known as the master of the legal thriller. 30 consecutive number one "new york times" fiction best sellers. he sold more than 300 million copies of his books worldwide. now he's out with his 25th legal thriller. he calls it "the rooster bar." it explores the world of for-profit law schools for a group of students who learn their school is owned by a shady hedge fund operator. john grisham joins us at the table. this is the second time -- as norah pointed out, two in a year. >> two is too many. one is enough. >> when they're like this, i don't know if two is too many. >> keep them coming. >> let's talk about "the rooster bar." the genesis is you read an article in "the atlantic" and you thought, what, this is -- >> it was an investigative peegs published three years ago and i stumbled across it. i was not familiar with for-profit law schools. i was not really familiar with the student debt crisis.

and the article really opened my eyes. it was a great piece but also a troubling issue. i started researching. and the novel was quickly born from that. >> as you point out, the american bar association says there are currently six for-profit law schools in this country with accreditation. one is the charlotte school of law, which recently closed. >> closed in august. they had problems for a long time. not all the schools are shady. there are a lot of success stories from these schools, but the levels of debt that these students incur, and then they pass it off in the form of high tuition to people making a profit. that just struck me as being wrong. >> and the high number of the debt, too, i was surprised. i assume you researched those as real figures, $266,000, $191,000. >> gayle, my research is always shaky. don't believe -- don't believe everything you read, okay? but, no, those numbers are not far off. you can borrow 75,000 bucks a year for three years to go to

law school. 40,000, 50,000 goes for tuition, goes straight to the owners of the law school. and you can borrow 20,000 bucks to live off. that's $75,000 a year you can borrow easy. >> without giving the whole novel away, to tell people, you essentially have a number of students in the book. and they're facing a mountain of debt. and they go after the hedge fund operator who's making a profit off it. >> looking for revenge. >> they can't find jobs, which is fairly accurate with a lot of these schools. a lot of these graduates. their prospects of passing the bar exam are rather dim. >> because the school isn't a great school. >> it's not a great school, no. >> it's foggy bottom law school. i mean, how about that name? >> it's a real name, foggy bottom. i didn't make that up. there's a law school at foggy bottom, by the way. it's a very good law school. >> okay. >> are you going to princeton tomorrow to look at the f. scott fitzgerald manuscripts.

>> the book came out and we had not contacted princeton before the publ occasion -- >> it was about that. >> i didn't go there. i didn't see the library. i claimed all that. >> research. >> normal research. >> you didn't tell them you were doing it. >> i wanted to but i was advised not to warn princeton this book was coming. they can't do anything about it. i didn't warn them. and about a month or so after the book came out i got a nice letter from the head librarian at princeton saying we love your books, couldn't visit us. so i'm going tomorrow to see the fitzgerald manuscripts and visit on campus. >> can i point out, you never have a preface. i like that. why do you not have a preface in any of your books? >> i just don't like them. normally they don't work. when you start, it's sort of a gimmick a lot of writers do to get your attention, sucked in, and then they move away from it and leave you hanging.

that's not how i tell stories. i like to start with the first chapter, end with chapter 40. nothing flashy. just direct storytelling. >> we had jeff fager here, "60 minutes" is about telling a story. you tell fictional stories. what's at the heart of a good story? >> well, conflict, suffering, injustice. >> romance? >> well, i don't do sex very well. >> why not? >> yeah, exactly. >> sex is good, john grisham. >> most men cannot write sex. >> is that true? >> oh, yeah. most men cannot write good sex. i tried one time years ago, showed it to my wife who started laughing. >> we're hitting a hard wall. >> charlie's talking about sex. >> thank you so much. >> hard wall here, guys. >> congratulations -- >> "the rooster bar" is on sale today. you're watching "cbs this morning." fety
