describe what the images looked like to them. he believed their answers might provide a window into their social behavior. although he died in 1922 at just age 37, rorschach's inc. blot test lives on. it became a staple of psychology and of popular culture as well. artist andy warhol created series of inc. blot-like paintings in the 1980s. and the test played a bit part in the 1995 film "batman forever" when star val kilmer talked with a police kidman. >> you have a thing for bats? >> it's a rorschach, mr. wayne. an inc. blot. i think the question would be, >> >> osgood: the test has been the subject of controversy as well. many practitioners objected when
9:21 am
2009. >> what do you see? >> i really don't know. >> they argued the images would lose their effectiveness if future test subjects saw them in advance. on another front, some skeptics question whether there's scientific proof that the test is even valid. here is the inc. blot test. as dr. rorschach, all depends how you look at it. i'm always there for my daughter. for the little things. and the big milestones. and just like i'm there for her, pacific life is there to help protect me and my family so i can enjoy all life's moments. pacific life. helping families

9:24 am
michelle miller has story of unique american family. >> with a mall lot and chisel the slowest writer in newport, rhode island, averages just two letters an hour. even when nick benson breaks out his power tools, he's not much faster. but for some stone carvers it's not about speed, it's about stapping the test of lime. >> you get into a runner's high with it, where it becomes this out of body experience. cerebral. >> you can see his work across our country from headstones to war monuments to presidential memorials. >> it's so who i am that it runs the gamut. i love it. i hate it, it drives me crazy. it is all. it's everything. >> his craft is among most ancient known to man. so perhaps it's fitting that the

9:26 am
under his father at the age of 15. what was it like to have your dad as your teacher, your mentor? >> just like work, work, work, work. when i got further and further into it i realized, okay, i'm really capable of doing this well. >> so well that in 2010, he received a prestigious mcarthur foundation fellowship, a so-called genius grant. the first and only stone carver to earn that recognition. >> pretty tight. >> john benson is nick's father and mentor. at 75, he is now retired. but in his day, he was a superstar. his work can be found everywhere from rockefeller plaza in new york city, to the national gallery of art in washington, d.c. >> a tremendous emotional appeal about a carved letter.
9:27 am
the building. >> aimed architect im pei commissioned benson to work on the museum of fine arts, boston. they didn't always see eye to eye. >> i remember having argument about where some lettering would go, we argued for 20 minutes. he wanted it in one place. i moved it. then he wanted to move it again. i dug my heels in. >> who won? >> i turned to him i said at the end when i knew he wasn't going to budge, i said, well, mpei, it's your building. he said, yes, it is. >> perhaps his best known work is the john f. kennedy gravesite at arlington national cemetery he recalled the importance of it in the 1979 documentary "final marks." >> this is the biggest job of lettering that our time has seen. more people were going to look at this as a piece of lettering whether they were conscious of it or not.
9:28 am
in american arts. >> for a tiny little period there i was unquestionably the best in the world at it. but there were only about ten of us. >> let the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe alike that the torch has of americans. >> as if echo can john kennedy's words, for the benson family, you might say stone etching is engrained in its d.n.a. when did your grandfather design these inflips. >> he designed them back in the late '40s, early 50 was. >> nick's grandfather designed the letters on the marine corps war memorial, which honors americans who captured the island of iwo jima from the japanese. like grandfather, like father, like son.

9:30 am
simple headstone, in the end, a memorial is an honor and a dedication. >> a legacy of 300 years of responsible and well made work is enough for anybody. very few people can have that. and i can claim that. i can claim to be connected to something which has survived in diverse societies through war and peace, in the same ridiculously limited little town for 310 years.
9:31 am
>> osgood: and now a mile post by which to remember the week. a new study by the london school of economics says that when it comes to losing weight, the best exercise is a brisk walk. the study analyzed british health records from 1999 to 2012 focus on measures like body mass index and waist circumference. and what it found was that people who regularly walked at a brisk pace for more than 30 minutes did better than people who indulged in other exercises, including swimming, cycling, working out at the gym and even dancing. to get the weight loss that you like, best to take a hike. better way of staying slim than even going to the gym.

9:34 am
habit, her world is reduced to getting her daily fix. and it's very much revolved around her kit, her, you know, her drugs, her gear. the bag, what kind of bag and what kind of needles, more information than you want. >> in this case it was so authentic that when you were out on the street panhandling, you know, with your cup people actually were giving you money like real knockers were stopping giving you money? >> i had that happen. it was really uncomfortable. i felt terrible. >> the film is a love story about two of the city's estimated 60,000 homeless. and when jennifer connelly takes on a role, there's no off switch. >> go! >> stop thinking about what's coming up. >> does it keep you up at night? >> sometimes. >> are you a little obsessive
9:35 am
about it? >> just a little -- a little bit. >> her dedication made things easier for the crew, the first time that paul bettany had ever directed a film or for that matter his wife. >> she has to go to these dark places in the film, i'm pretty convinced she trusted me because she knew she could just beat the hell out of me for the next 25 years if i got it wrong. >> no worries there, jennifer connelly has spent a lifetime making directors look good. house. >> she's at her best as the troubled beauty whether she's a woman defending her home. or the loyal wife keeping it together while the world crashes down around her. >> you don't do a lot of comedies, why not?
9:36 am
>> i've done a few. i don't know. i don't get cast in them very often. >> are you funny? >> probably not. >> you don't think so? >> probably not. i don't know. but i tend to get cast more in dramas. >> that's okay? >> i think it's my eyebrows. they're very serious. look very tern. >> all about the eyebrows. i look a little bit cross. i can't help it. it's my face. >> that face has opened a few doors. certainly being places like this, it's kind of meditative. >> she was born in upstate new york. and spent part of her childhood climbing trees here in the little town of woodstock. >> i was kind of a tomboy. >> tomboy or not she did clean up pretty well. connelly started modeling in grade school.

9:38 am
>> i'm wondering, mr. nash, if i can ask you to dinner. >> this one would make her a household name. >> you do eat, don't you? >> how emotionally draining was that movie? >> it was very demanding in that way. but also i was so -- i was just so grateful to have the opportunity. i remember, reading the script thinking, god, if they'd give me this job. i'd love -- another good job again, i promise. i shouldn't have made that promise. but i felt very strongly about it. i was really -- felt very grateful to be there all the time. >> this is real. >> for her role as wife of john nash, jennifer connelly came away with an oscar it turns out

9:40 am
when paul was in italy and saw that new york city, jennifer's city, was under attack. >> like so many people in that moment my life changed. i went home to this house and spent two days trying to ring this woman in new york city that i sort of really barely knew. and i thought, why am i -- i couldn't get through. nobody could get through to new york. why am i ringing this woman up that i barely know for, you know, the last 48 hours? oh. i sort of realized i was in -- in love. and i fine low got through to her i said, i'm coming over; let's get together. and she said, yes. which was surprising. >> they were married new year's day 2003 and have two children together. shelter their most recent baby.

9:47 am
at work. >> at first glance, his images look more like circuit boards, nerve centers surging with energy. but while these are hubs of activity, they're not the kind in our computers. these are the world's great cities, photographed the way the heavens see them. sparkling spectacles below. someone says you watch the avenues up and down you feel arteries of blood flow of the city. you literally perceive the depth and three dimension and you see businesses in a different manner. they look much smaller. >> vincent laforet has taken aerial photography to new heights. his images have transformed the spaghetti bowls of l.a.'s degree way. the glittering strip of sin city, las vegas, made london's big ben look more like a big jewel. >> it was almost an out of body

9:50 am
seconds. >> what's how long the fall would be. >> thanks for telling me, now i know. way too long. once it got dark, we started going higher. helicopters can be like flying blenders, vince has to try to hold the camera stead he kyle shooting at very low shutter speeds often as the chopper goes into steep banking turns. >> perfect. beautiful. that almost made me sick. >> the hot florida ergot cool and crisp as we climbed even more. until we were about 8,000 feet. nothing between us and downtown miami, except air. >> as a photographer as a visual communicator you try to find images that no one has seen before. that's your goal. that's a pretty tall order in

>> about 1475 feet up. >> in the days after the attacks of 9/11 he was dispatched to pakistan much to his surprise. >> i was not a war photographer. >> you didn't want to be on the front line? >> no. when bullets fly i hit the ground and stay down. >> but staying downturned out to be his secret capturing not so much the war but the victims of it. >> these were real people. just as afraid as people back in the states. >> laforet shared the pulitzer prize for feature photography that year, he was only 27. >> that and katrina are the two stories that formed me as a journalist. >> when you see what happened in new orleans to americans, in our country, that really shakes your foundation up pretty seriously. >> so seriously that laforet needed a change. he quit his job as a photojournalist decided to pull away from it all, for awhile.
9:53 am
there aren't people and perhaps emotions in your pictures any more? >> something very odd that happens when you go up in the air that ironically it's intimate. i can't explain it. >> vincent laforet has always pushed the envelope but for him, it's not about being a daredevil. it's about finding and capturing what we often lose on the ground, a sense of peace and perspective. >> i think when you take a step back from anything you see things more clearly. in a visual way air is representation that have, literally takes some distance from the street level view. and you see we're all in this together. >> osgood: lost and found.
9:54 am
>> osgood: young girl to experience very first tears of joy. steve hartman has case of lost and found. >> whoever companied the phrase "military brat" obviously never met the angelic daughter of army staff sergeant nicholas paugam and his wife jen. mckenzy is three. if you look closely at pictures over the years you'll notice something. that giraffe which she calls raffe is in almost every shot. >> she wants to go to bed with it. it's her friend. way that she acts, it's her friend. >> jen says this friend has been mckenzy's constant through their many moves has been he is specialsly comforting during nick's deployments. >> when he's go for weeks and months at a time she still has this one thing. >> and? one thing.
9:55 am
it got lost during their most recent move. >> raffe is her lifeline. >> one of the things that she has all the time. >> i understand, to some this may seem like much adue about nothing. but cruising a lovey like feeling like a very big deal. >> where are you raffe. >> mcconcern see first noticed raffe was missing right before their move from washington state to pennsylvania. >> i want to take him to pennsylvania. >> her parents assumed he was in a box somewhere. but for 11 long days mckenzy had to live without her soul mate until finally at the very end of the their unpacking. >> as soon as jen found it she this. we have to get this. >> they hid raffe in the refrigerator. she was delighted to be reunited. but in this moment mckenzy made another even more surprising discovery. that very strange thing happened
9:56 am
happy. >> my eyes are watering. >> you're happy. >> in all of her life she's never been so happy that she cried. >> it's got to feel weird the first time. but surrendering to this quirky human trait can be one of life's greatest joyce as i'm sure some of you now at home can attest. >> osgood: next, democratic candidate bernie sanders. and later -- the forgotten heros. that were just totally pitch black. those things had to change. we wanted to restore our lighting system in the city.
9:57 am
in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesn't happen. at the time that the bankruptcy filing was done, the public lighting authority had a hard time of finding a bank. citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. citi had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. it's a brighter day in detroit. people can see better when they're out doing their tasks, young people are moving back in town, the kids are feeling safer while they walk to school. and folks are making investments and the community is moving forward. 40% of the lights were out, but they're not out for long.they're coming back. what makes thermacare different?
9:58 am
how? with heat. unlike creams and rubs that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation and accelerate healing. let's review: heat, plus relief, plus healing, equals thermacare. the proof that it heals is you. >> osgood: presidential candidate bernie sanders is riding a wave of support that may be surprising to a lot of people. but perhaps not so surprising to the people in his political base. wilmington, vat vat, where jim axelrod caught up with him. >> before you said it i said, don't underestimate bernie. >> best of luck.
9:59 am
>> did great. >> striking thing about bernie sanders is not that he's a man whose time has come. >> i'm bernie sanders. i'm running for congress. >> he's been waiting so long -- thank you! >> for his time to get here. living. >> when you were talking about in 1988 and in 2015 it's the same thing. >> more and more americans are catching on to what i have been talking about for decades. we need to radically change the priorities of this nation. do you feel a little bit of satisfaction like suddenly people are listening? >> yeah. were you waiting for america to catch up with you? >> well, i'm glad that it happened.

>> political revolution. that's a big term. >> in the last election, jim, 63% of the american people didn't vote. 80% of young people didn't vote. big money is increasingly buying political elections. a political revolution means that we involve tense of millions of people in the political process today to stand up and fight for their right to stop the disappearance of the american middle class and say that our government belongs to all of us and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors. >> i'm just wondering if you're misreading what american people want. >> i am not. check out the polls. >> i know how much you love conventional wisdom. i'm going to do this, conventional wisdom holds -- >> he's a fringe candidate. not going to get any traction. >> here we are it looks like you got a little more traction than
10:02 am
>> why? >> because you and the corporate people have slew of the world which i think is very out of touch with what the american people are feeling. >> you don't like us? >> you're a very nice job. corporate media is very often deflecting attention away from the most significant issues facing our country and giving us entertainment all the time. i get upset that media by and large is more interested in dumb things that somebody says or how much money i'm raising. no one cares about. that we got to focus on the real issues facing mesh. >> how are you doing? >> if sanders is the junior senator from vermont his matter of fact style is all brooklyn. where he was born and raised among working class immigrants, many of them jews like sim self whose families had fled discrimination in europe. >> economic inquality your reason for being. i'm wondering why that --
10:03 am
came f. when you're five or six years old you hear your parents arguing, sometimes pretty fiercely it's very disturbing for a child. >> over money. >> almost always. my father came to this country from poland at the age of 17 without a nickel. he always had aj never made a lot of money. we were very poor but never whole lot of money. >> you could have said, i'm going to medical school and make money. but you didn't. >> i didn't. from an early age, what i cannot tell you, you asked the fair question i just don't know the answer why we turn out the way we do. >> it is the rare politician who will admit he doesn't have all the answers. but uncommon long been one of the more foe light descriptions of sanders. after all how many have disclosed they have five-figure credit card debt. >> you have to become an open book the way you've never been before.
10:04 am
>> for instance, between 25,000 and 65,000 in credit card debt. >> my wife handle, is that. we do fine financially. united states senator makes a good living. >> how do you get that much credit card debt? >> i actually don't know. i think we've made it all off. >> is does that make you more american? >> maybe. but that wasn't the intention i am sure. >> he's been with his second wife jane for 34 years. they have seven grandchildren between the two of them. >> you knew going into this -- take off so quickly. unbelievable. i said to him, we were talking whether he should run, is there another way you can get the issues out? >> this is the ultimate i told you so moment. >> it is. >> jane sanders knows better than anybody her husband is going -- always going to do it
10:05 am
his way. craft. we do try to point it out that he needs to pay attention. >> but he fights you every step. >> oh, yeah. he is all policy still. >> how many are looking forward to college? how many worry about cost for college? >> as this campaign evolves the extent to which you need not to change your message but to change the delivery mechanism so that it's not "ate your peas." >> i plead guilty. >> you hate the question. >> i know how to do this stuff. i thoroughly -- i know you're speech beyond three minutes. all going to be brief. everybody else is terrible. have a nice day. i don't do that. >> if we stand together there is nothing that we cannot accomplish and that is exactly
10:06 am
what this campaign is about. >> can't be politics as usual. with hillary clinton starting to expand her lead in polls nationwide, the stakes are growing ever higher as bernie sanders prepares for the democratic debate cbs news will host this saturday. you are not running just to get a good speaking slot at the democratic national convention. >> no. we are running to win. i fully admit we are the underdogs. we started this campaign at 3%a% in the polls nobody thought this we could win in new hampshire, win in iowa. we're doing well around the country. we in this race to win it. >> bernie sanders! >> osgood: next. >> the authenticity of their

10:13 am
divides north and south. families found the names of their loved ones inscribed on the walls. robert warren's father disappeared during reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines. >> i've never seen him memorialized or commemorated or anything that have nature in the united states and to come all the way to korea to see his name on the wall was a shock, a surprise and something i was not emotionally prepared for at the time. >> morin was also not prepared to to see south korea's appreciation for america's role in a war fought more than 60 years ago. >> the authenticity of their gratitude is astonishing. i mean they could not possibly

10:15 am
economy and 6th largest exporter. in part due to the popularity of korean brands in lewding samsung and lg, kia and hyundai. economists refer to it as the miracle on the han river. a miracle that south koreans inist in part resulted from the american sacrifices that earned them their freedom from communism. this trip was a celebration of that sacrifice for what john zimmerlee calls, war orphans. >> i'm here with other war orphans and all of a sudden we all have that camaraderie, you all those pictures just arose in one line behind me, it was like all the guys that were missing were here, it was emotional. it was the most emotional i've
