in a neighborhood not far from the space needle, there's a warehouse that looks like mother nature's private museum. for security reasons, they won't allow us to show the exterior, because inside, there are these. giant crystals, some the size of a exact car. and perfect formations, brilliant white or clear as glacial ice. when i think of crystals i think of those little dainty things that people wear around their necks. >> this is not one of those. >> collector richard berger found this one in namibia. >> this crystal is 7,000 pounds. >> berger has isn't his adult life and most of his money, chasing the biggest, most perfect specimens he could find.

and he's especially proud of these, they are called concretions, great swirling masses of rock from fontainebleau, france, formed into shapes when ancient hot springs suddenly cooled. >> they wept from water to rock in minutes. >> what might be more amazing is how richard berger's rocks have transformed him. in 1968, he was a philadelphia medical student on a road trip across america when he happened across a tiny shack in wyoming with crystals for sale. >> i think this little piece, the most beautiful thing. and i was completely enchanted by it. >> so enchanted, in fact, that he dropped out of medical school and basically roomed the earth writing the biggest and most startling things ever dug up. this is amazing. because it look like someone made this. >> this is a photographic memory of life on planet earth 52

million years ago. >> it's actually the the fossillized bottom of a tropical lake imprinted with ancient fish around a palm frond dug up in what is now wyoming. that crystal formation looked like it came straight off a superman movie celt. >> this street officer krypton, also known as arkansas. >> just handling a crystal can have a healing effect. they have long been symbols of power. just look at the crowns used in british coronations. >> the archbishop lift the crown of st. edward and hold it for a moment above the queen's head. >> what's on their head? mostly diamonds, rubies, sapphire and emerald, crystals that have been cut into variety of shapes and made into a hat. >> long live the queen. >> he's never owned a crown. but by 1977, richard berger had collected enough crystals to open a store in his native new york city. miriam dyak and her girlfriend

were customers one day in 1982. >> he thought my friend was cute. he didn't really notice me. >> paid no attention to her whatsoever. i made up for it though. >> long story authority they married in 1985. as their relationship grew, so did richard's collection. but are there times where you have to say to richard, enough is enough? >> oh, i've tried. i don't think i'm very effective at that. >> i say that's an understatement. >> they have managed to make a living selling a piece here and there but most of their money has done back into this direction, which has now become too expensive for them to keep. >> yes, we need to sell it because otherwise we have nothing. >> this represents a very, very significant investment. but that doesn't mean that we left enough for ourselves, right, to live that comfortably. so, you know, we have our 15-year-old car. we have no stock portfolio.

we don't own a house. we live in 315 square foot apartment -- >> how big? 315 square feet? >> right and -- the crystals get 6,000 square feet. >> we're sitting on the greatest collection of giant crystals in the world. >> they're hoping to sell it all to someone who will keep the collection intact and build a museum around it. berger won't quote a price except to say it's in the multi-millions. they have had offers, but only for individual pieces, like the wyoming lake bottom. >> for instance, we had somebody wanted to come in like six months ago, wanted to put it in the lobby of a new sheraton they were building. >> you said? >> i said, no. with five cents in the bank i said no to selling that, because we're trying to hold the integrity of this collection together. at a certain point if that becomes improbable to sustain, then you go, all right, enough of this. >> but not yet. >> not yet.

>> after all they're not just rocks. to berger they're the foundation of a dream he wants to share with the world. >> it's a way of inspiring people, right? it's about inspiration. i think what the world needs right now more than just about anything is inspiration. >> look it! you're intelligent beings. >> pauley: still to come, actor danny devito. >> you're going to need lawyers, right? >> pauley: but first, wonder woman, going like 75.

>> pauley: wonder woman, the comic book character, has reached a personal milestone. reason enough for the actress who played her on tv to talk with our faith salie. >> it may be considered impolite to reveal a woman's age. but when it's this woman, turning 75 is a wonder. born in 1941, wonder woman, along with her predecessors, superman and batman are the only

super heroes to be in continuous print since their debut. for many of us, though, it was tv's lynda carter who brought wonder woman to life. for a lot of people when they think of wonder woman they see you. >> i know. >> how does it feel? >> it's bizarre. it is humbling honestly. particularly after all this time. i don't really think that i'm wonder woman by the way. >> carter says she got the role back in 1985, largely because she looked the part, which was both a blessing and as one of the show's producers warned her, a curse. >> it's like, women are going to be so jealous of you. well, i said, not a chance. they won't be, because i'm not

playing her that way. i want women to wanna be me or be my best friend. >> and it turns out providing a role model was exactly the point in creating wonder woman way back in 1941. you see, in the face of growing concern that comics were too violent for children, dc comics publisher max gaines turned to noted psychologist and author william marston for help. >> and as the story goes, marston says, what we need is a female super hero. she'll fight for democracy and fighting for equal rights for women and her super powers will be love and truth and beauty. >> harvard professor jill lepore is the author of "the secret history of wonder woman." >> i guess what you can -- could give it a shot. always been wonder woman's original story. >> perhaps the true inspiration

behind marston's fictional wonder woman were the real women in thinks life. what was hidden from the historical record was the whole marston family story. it created that commitment in marston's part. >> those women were his wife, elizabeth holloway and his student turned mistress olive byrne. they all lived together and raised four children under one roof. >> that was kept secret by the family for good reason because they had -- sort of scandalous family life. >> and get this. the aunt of marston's mistress was margaret sanger. you know,ed famed feminist, birth control pioneer and planned parenthood founder. what's more, marston was also influenced by the suffer gist movement he witnessed as a harvard student in the early 1900s. >> american suffer gists chained themselves to the gates outside the white house.

marston was inspired by this by seeing these women in chains. >> and by hearing these stories. >> no doubt that's why we see wonder woman breaking out of chains in so many of marston's early comics. he says, got to be chained up because she's annal gary for the so she can break herself asking herself. >> that golden lasso that magically forces villains to break down and tell the truth? >> you cannot lie, what are you? >> i'm heinrich von klepper. >> you made the clone of adolph hitler? >> yes. >> no lie, psycholt the early pf lie detection. and when we first meet wonder woman she's got fairly long skirt on. >> actually it's not a skirt. >> as archivist for dc comics, ben ming leclear takes even wonder woman's wardrobe

seriously. >> it's actually culottes. >> so not heroic. >> it was actually heroic. elizabeth holloway marston, mrs. marston, she can't have a skirt. it's going to end up over her head. >> whatever she was wearing she was selling 2.5 million comics a month. but after 1947, other writers, all male, took over and wonder woman became a little less wonderful. >> the way that wonder woman has changed demonstrates what our culture was thinking women should be in each kind of era? >> it's what i love about comic books and, really, all art for forms. they're mirrors on where we were in society. >> it wasn't until 17 when women's rights activist and wonder woman fan, gloria stein em put her on the inaugural issue of "ms" magazine that wonder woman got her star-spangled groove back.

>> it is our sacred duty to defend the world. >> and coming this summer, wonder woman gets her own big budget movie proof that after 75 years of heroics, wonder woman's real super power is the power to inspire. >> there is something about t character where in your creative mind for that time in your life where you her, or whatever the situation was, that it felt like you could fly. otezla is not an injection, or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. some people who took otezla saw 75% clearer skin after 4 months.

phone booths used to be everywhere. providing an office for agent maxwell smart. and r and a sanctuary for tippy hedren from killer seagulls in "the birds." now, they're so rare that peter hacker man wrote a children's book about this one, one of only four remaining outdoor phone booths in all of manhattan. >> i walked past this phone booth every day with my kid when he was three years old. and at a certain point he said, why is that phone in a box? i realized that he didn't know what a phone booth was. >> are you coming to use the phone booth? are you serious? >> for kid, the phone booth has become something of a novelty. >> kids today hanging on the phone all day long. >> all day long, can't gee them off. >> but grownups? >> it's a phone booth. >> can't be bothered.

>> you can call anyone it sound better if you use the pay phone. you can call anyone with it. the first public coin-operated pay phone appeared in hartford, connecticut, in 1889. the first phone booth debuted in the early 1900s.

>> oh, look at that. >> yeah, a moment ago we were just talking on the ton. >> mark thomas created the pay phone project, an online database that keeps track of the remaining pay phones around the world. what did the pay phone do to deserve this? >> well, the pay phone didn't do anything. the cell phone came along. >> that's right, our phones got smart. mart they began putting pay phones out of business. do you see the cell phone as sort of an arriviste as won that sort of came along and stole the thunder of the pay phone? >> it stole its relevance. it made communication so simple and so trivial even, that this became a laborious way to make a phone call. >> in new york and may be coming to a city near you they are kiosk, pay phones, internet service and a port to charge

your cell phone. aren't people on their cell phones enough? >> jen with the company installing them. >> people are on their phones all the time. this allows them a free way to off load their data plans for people who don't have access to mobile plans or data. we're offering that for free. we think it's a really important public service. >> i approached this sleek and shiny upstart gingerly and called the only person whose number i actually still remember. my mother. i'm calling from a special free phone on the street of. you're on tv right now. >> owe? om, what channel is it? >> the show that i'm on, cbs "sunday morning." >> okay. i'm going to look, bye. >> no, no, no, you're not on live right now, sorry. are you still there? my mother hung up on me. but i can't blame the kiosk for

>> it's good to try to day dream your way in to it. >> of course -- how about a nice potato latkes. >> a good excuse to meet. >> just like grandma gertie used to make. rhea's grandmother was the best. >> that's devito's wife and some time costar, the very funny 4-time emmy winner rhea perlman. >> i did not blew my hat to my head. the hat shrunk. the fibers fused to my hair. ow! >> together since 1971, they have three grown children and were until recently considered one of the most stable couples in hollywood. everybody says, oh, are danny and rhae perlman still together? i read that you're getting a divorce and so -- >> we're not getting a divorce.

but we separated. yeah. >> she was here for the opening? >> absolutely. we're really close. we've been friend for 40-something years. >> where does -- i mean, for people who love both of you -- >> we love each other. >> at some stage in his life and career what danny devito doesn't want to do is slow down or play it safe. >> where's the robes? >> no clearer evidence of that is his role at frank reynolds in the bizarre black comedy "it's always sunny in philadelphia." >> these guys put me in like situations, themselves, too, it's like -- it's like "i lovely key" on acid. it's really far out. >> example, his infamous couch scene. >> sew me into the couch! >> which went viral on youtube. >> it's like a big halibut, being birthed. just like coming out naked.

like greasy from sweat. it was just amazing. i had to do it several times. >> several times? >> came out -- kept degreesing myself up more. so i could come out faster. >> i've been slimed. i've fallen out of windows. i've had like, you know, amnesia. god, it's fun. it's my program moline, you want to get on it. >> so, the novel way danny devito warms up in his dressing room before every performance shouldn't surprise you. >> in costume. >> you have a lot of energy. >> i do have a lot of energy. >> pauley: ahead, get to know the work of john mclaughlin. but what if you could turn things around? what if you could love your numbers?

artist, john mclaughlin. you say you're not familiar with his work? neither was our ben tracy. >> in the world of abstract expressionism there are certain names that come to mind. pollack. rothko. de kooning. but what about mclaughlin. all right. so let's start with a bit of honesty. when they told me we were doing a story on john mclaughlin. i said, john, who? why is this art worthy of this exhibit? >> there's a resurgence of interest in going back to the '50s, '60s and '70s and find go those artists who may not have been the ones who were the bold-faced names that first time around. these are artist who perhaps more quietly and less economic

success, continue to create a really powerful body of work. >> i mean, it does feel very peaceful in here. >> it does, doesn't it? >> stephanie barron is a curator of an exhibit at the los angeles county museum of art featuring the work of post-war artist john mclone lynn. >> a kind of meditative quality that invites you to slow down. >> he was relatively unknown, partially because he lived in southern california, not new york city. the epicenter of modern art in the mid 20th century. he was also a bit of a late bloomer. >> i mean, he doesn't start painting until he's 48. he bought canvases at sears. he used house point. he didn't to go art school. he didn't apprentice with other artists. these are were all traditional ways that artists became artists. >> mclaughlin was born in 1898 outside of boston. he adopted his mother's fondness

for japanese art and would spend several years abrading asia, collecting art and learning japanese and mandarin. he later served there as an army translator during world war ii. mclaughlin's artistic choices were inspired by the japanese idea "ma" meaning the void or space between. a unique approach at the time. so when you look at this, what is the japanese influence that you see here? >> well, i think he's giving equal weight to spaces in between, and there is not so much of a foreground and a background. but the background becomes the foreground. >> i would stack him up against any american artist of the 20th century. he breaks every rule you can think of in terms of good, acceptable composition for a painting. he splits his painting in half. who does that? >> christopher knight is chief art critic at the "los angeles times."

>> and in the '50s in new york, coming after world war ii, the void was a very different concept for jackson pollack and mark rothko. the void was a place of terror. the world had almost collapsed after holocaust and the hydrogen bomb. that's in some respects almost the opposite of mclaughlin was doing. the void as a place in which consciousness and perception can emerge. >> mclaughlin died in 1976, just as his reputation was building. he had no children, so his paintings were eventually sold off. the los angeles county museum of art exhibit is set to close next month. but knight hopes it fills the void of appreciation he feels the artist truly deserves. >> when you have an artist of mclaughlin's brilliance, it behooves you to pay attention to

him if you have any interest in art whatsoever. and here is this largely unknown jewel in a fantastic exhibition, perfectly organized, waiting for you to go see it, why not? >> pauley: coming up, vern lundquist. >> yes, sir! >> pauley: one of a kind. >> the challenge is to not embellish the moment, not overwhelm it. ♪ at air wick we know the power of that first whiff of your favorite scent. ♪ air wick freshmatic releases timed bursts of the fragrances you love. so that first whiff feeling never fades. air wick freshmatic. ♪

masters at 76 vern lundquist is not quite at the finish line of his career but he can see it. last december he wrapped up 17 years as the play by play man for college football's power house southeastern conference. is he maded and saluted by college football fans for months, who made plain how they feel about the charming, folksy companion they call "uncle vern." how do you articulate what that even feels like? >> well, i had to swallow hard and pinch my inner thigh to keep from crying. >> but if you think giving up millions of people saying tribute to you is tough to do, you don't know vern. he made his living from sports. but not his life. what does music give you? >> a soul, a depth.

>> it touches some part of you. >> very deeply. very deeply. >> that soul is touched most deeply here in the snowy colorado rockies. built this magnificent structure. >> where for years, vern and his wife nancy have been highly instrumental in the strings music festival which "sunday morning" first visited back in 1992. >> beautiful screen reinspires you. you're creating beauty and there is beauty. >> lundquist often lend his famous pipes as a master of ceremonies to something that may mean even more to him than a game. >> i'm used to talking about alabama and auburn. and we've got 20 million people watching it doesn't phase me but -- >> when you got 550. >> i walk out this door it's a hard swallow usually -- dear lord, get me through this. >> these days, vern lundquist is looking back with gratitude. so everybody wrote a little

something. the people you worked with, our colleagues, they loved you, too. >> yeah. it was palpable. we'll miss you. well, i'll miss them. >> still, the lesson to be drawn from his life is that he's also looking forward. that's what happens when you have someone like nancy, right along with you. she's traveled the world by his side in the booth for years. >> on our first date we discovered that we had this mutual love of symphonic and classical music. and that was the first glue that we found to hold us together. >> you're bound not by football. >> no. >> you're bound by music? >> and especially here. >> here is the city of steamboat springs. >> it's a ski resort attached to a ranching community. >> what's the draw? >> the people. the people that live here and the friendships that we accumulated over the years.

>> it's been their home for the last 33 years. it's a place where vern lundquist can walk the streets during the winter carnal as both a next door neighbor and a local hero. is there still some satisfaction as you know that you walk down the street that people say, that's vern. >> sure, of course. of course it is. >> it's a reaffirmation of the fact that nancy and i are welcomed. i'm going to get -- this is home. this is home. >> yes, vern lundquist has it all. a sense of place, passion and partnership. not to mention some of the most memorable play by play calls in the history of sports. >> this is the ball of tiger woods. >> as the man himself might say,

better to be lucky than good. but best to be both. >> oh, my, goodness! >> i am just so unbelievably appreciative of the way my career and my life has wound up. oh, wow! in your life have you seen oh, wow! in your life have you seen anything like that? because they were the first to be verified by usp oh, wow! in your life have you seen anything like that? for quality and purity standards. and because i recommend them as a pharmacist. nature made, the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand. shake up your routine with a completely new way to clean. new colgate total advanced health mouthwash. shake to activate a powerful cleaning action that removes twenty four times more bacteria. improve the health of your mouth with new colgate total advanced health mouthwash. shake to clean.

both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.
