news. miner miracle. cheers and emotional reunions as the miners trapped underground more than two months are brought to the surface one by one. the drama has captured the world's attention as nearly a billion people watched them embrace their new-found freedom. jet ski shocker. the lead mexican investigators in the shooting of american david hartley has been murdered execution -style, his head found inside a suitcase. we'll speak with hartley he's

wife and a u.s. congressman. and director oliver stone says legendary actor michael douglas is in a precarious state of health. we'll have his fight against throat cancer early this october we'll have his fight against throat cancer early this october 13th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs yet another amazing picture. this has been going on since last night. this is miner number nine, the oldest. >> 63-year-old mario gomez holding up the chill yen flag with pride this morning traveling 2,000 feet up the rescue shaft moments ago and making it safely to the surface. he was the one rescuers were most concerned about because of his frail health. he suffers a lung condition likely a result of working at those mines since he was 12 years old.

is now 63 and appears, harry, as all have appeared. >> i know. >> -- to be in great health and especially great spirits. >> good morning, everybody i'm harry smith. >> i'm maggie rodriguez. of course, we're following the drama that is captivating the entire world this morning. >> here is what's happening right now. the first miner reached the surface at 11:10 last night eastern time wearing a helmet and sunglasses, of course, to protect him from the glare of the rescue lights. so far, nine miners have been rescued now after a short emotional reunion with their families the recused miners are taken to a triage unit then flown by helicopter to a hospital in nearby copiapo, chile. let's go to our correspondent, seth doane, live at the san jose mine in chile right now with the latest. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, harry. that's right, we just a saw the ninth miner hoisted up out of that capsule, out of that rescue tunnel. this is the ninth time but it just doesn't get old.

it is just remarkable to see these reunions on the surface. this, as you mentioned, mario gomez, herrera, a 63-year-old who worked the mines his entire life. they were concerned about this rescue. so seeing this man lifted to the surface, being greeted, is just an incredible site. the schedule has been just about every hour, just as they expected they would be able to extract a miner about once an hour by the time they raise and lower that rescue -- rescue capsule. so, it continues on schedule and continues to amaze people here. one of the interesting things, just about every hour here -- we've slept here all night nearby -- just about every hour you hear cheers and applause and celebration ring out. >> you know, seth, one of the things that's most remarkable, just how good these miners look, because of the shaft that was sent down there a couple weeks ago already they've been able to

get nutrition and water. and, as they come up, this amazing, overwhelming sense of relief, there are tears, there are cheers. it's quite an emotional scene. >> reporter: it really is. and to see all of it so close, talk about an operation that was so well chore yo graphed down to every detail, every camera, to be able to watch this human drama unfold was just incredible. i was standing in the middle of camp hope last night right where all of the miners' families have been keeping vigil for some time, some for the better part of two months and you couldn't believe the cheers when that first miner stepped foot out of that capsule. i, too, was expecting him to be whisked away immediately, maybe put on a gurney, even the people we were speaking with said the family members said, my gosh, i can't believe they're in such good health. incidentally yesterday, while we in copiapo, we were speaking

with one man who had just delivered some of the food to the miners, u.s. food distributor, aramark distributing the food saying the last meal was chicken au jus, prunes and bananas for dessert. so they ate well down there. >> seth on the watch for us there in chile at the mine site, we'll check back with you in a little while. meantime, let's turn it back over to maggie. >> harry, thank you. we want to take you right now to pittsburgh, where joe sbaffoni is standing by. he oversaw the successful quecreek mine rescue in 2002. joe, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> at this point, since everything has gone well, in fact a lot better than anticipated, is it probable, can we assume that the rest of the operation will go smoothly, or does it become more dangerous with each rescue because the shaft is compromised or there may beware and tear on the capsule? >> there's always the concern of

the shaft, the condition of the shaft. as far as the capsule, they are observing it very closely each time they bring it up to see if there is any wear and so forth. one time, they did stop to do some maintenance and lubrication. they're going to pay very close attention to the equipment and make sure that they don't get into a situation where there's any possibility of a failure. >> let's help people envision which each of these miners is going through as he is brought up. they each travel more than 2,000 feet, which is roughly the length of two empire state buildings inside this tiny cramped, dark capsule. is this a straight vertical ride up, is it bumpy, what do you think the hardest part of that journey is for them? >> well, the hole is not totally vertical. it's on somewhat of an angle ands there's some bends in it. i would liken it to some type of an amusement ride in reality.

i'm sure it's not real smooth. it's probably bumpy when it goes around the different bends and bounces off the side. but, it's dark in there. they can't move once they get in the capsule, their arms are pretty much -- stay in one place. and it's just a matter of waiting for that 15 minutes until you reach the surface. >> gosh, that's got to be the longest 15 minutes. it's got to seem like an eternity but then again after two months down there, i assume they can handle it. >> that's probably the shortest 15 minutes of their life. >> yeah, you're right, actually. one thing about this story that i'm just captivated by is that the rescuers, i mean, these are the best possible people in charge of this operation. the rescuers are miners themselves, people who are not only the most capable of handling this but know exactly the mind-set of the men trapped down there. was that the case at quecreek, as well? >> no question. at quecreek, the expertise that was brought to bear was the best

that could be obtained and the dedication of the workers was just undescribable. and you have the same situation in chile. i mean, you have a lot of people dedicated to executing this rescue. and mining is a very close-knit community and miners look out for one another and that's -- there's a lot of emotion here involved with this and once they started this job, they were there until they seen it through. >> a beautiful thing. joe sbaffoni, thank you once again for your insight this morning. dr. jerry lin enger aboard mir back in 1987 when a fire broke out, he and his crewmates were trapped in space 132 days, also here with me oun own dr. jennifer ashton. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> good morning, maggie. >> jerry, you first, were you trapped about as high anybody could have been and these men about as low as anybody could be. do you see similarities, though,

between yours and your prick today mikt? >> it is remarkable. the psychologist that went down there said they were amazed how similar it is. you are up in space, in the heavens looking down at the earth but cut off from mankind. miners in the depths of the earth cut off from mankind, they have the same cravings, the same human needs, tough situation, dangerous, pressure, separated from family. all the analogies are there. >> tell me what they're feeling right now, the ones who are still down there. iowa i wonder about, what it must be like to be miner number 33. >> i think the greatest day of their life when i came back from space after five months of some tough circumstances up there, it was a glorious moment to get back on earth, you know, the fresh air, the green. you know, just everything about the elemental things of the earth that you miss and they're down in a hole for the last, you know, 68 days and so they are going to have a glorious moment. i think it is all anticipation, all pumped up, the adrenaline is

flowing. >> we see their euphoria but i'm sure they're going to have a bit of a tough time going forward to re-acclimate. it has to be an experience that stays with you for the rest of your life. psychologically. you've been through it. how does it impact you. >> it changed me forever. i'm in a different phase of my life and i appreciate the things of the earth now a lot more. they are going to be a band of brothers the rest of their life. i had the same thing two, two russian cosmonauts are friends forever, experienced rough times together and a bond that will never break. that is a great thing they have going forward. >> we have psychological concerns, dr. jennifer ashton, also physical concerns. >> right. >> we are all amazed how well they look. are you. >> actually, i am. but we have to remember at baseline, these are hearty, active, very strong stoic men. remember what they do on a day-to-day basis not like you or i going down in a mine and staying two months but obviously there are extreme physical and

physiologic changes they will be experiencing both as they are preparing to asindh and as they are actually coming up and when they come up, maggie, the basic first aid that they will be assessed by when they get to the surface are the basic trauma that any emergency medical technician or physician does, their basic vital signs, they are going to check their heart rate, which is expected to be rapid, their blood pressure, which could be either very high or very low, basic dehydration, basic and very rapid almost trauma medical assessment. >> such a good sign, the sickest, the oldest of the miners has been successfully brought up and looks to be in good shape. we hope that continues with the rest of the miners. thank you. >> harry? thanks very much, maggie. as we continue to look at these amazing pictures as this dramatic scene unfolds in chile, as these miners who have been trapped lo these many, many days down there, our seth doane is standing by and has more of an

update. seth, go ahead. >> reporter: just incredible, really, to see these pictures, harry. s it there were an estimated one billion people watching this drama unfold around the world. as you know, there are well over a thousand journalists here documenting this, and we have been able to see every moment of this at least every moment that cameras are capturing and presenting to us but able to see that first rescuer go down 2,000 feet down below, greeted by the miners, so joyous to see him, seeing all those miners come up, meeting with families, joyous reunions, just an electric energy here, an excitement, an an pags and we are starting to learn more about that next miner who is coming out. you've also got to ask is this a coincidence here, they broke through to the miners, as you remember, live on "the early show" around 8:00 at the top of the hour. this miner came out right at the

top of the hour. the next miner, if they continue on schedule will come out at the top of the hour, almost seems as though this was made for television, doesn't it? >> the pictures really have been telling an amazing story, seth. thank you very much. the other picture that is stunning to me, the picture in the mine itself. as the capsule comes down, the fen iks comes down, they the guy ready to go and we get to watch every second. >> seth said it is made for tv, actually for fill. . a lot of these miners, their families have been approached about making a movie. one guy, the oldest, mario, super mario, the first to be brought up, who was the narrator. >> right. >> he had a tv job offer already because he was just a good presenter. >> jeff glor is at the news desk and we'll get the rest of the headlines from him. >> good morning, everyone. midterm elections two intense debates last night in two very

closely watched races. the candidates going to to toe over everything and not always the issues. cbs news chief white house correspondents chip reid has details this morning. chip, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. really getting nasty out there but here in washington, the president was surprisingly low key last night at an event intended to energize young voters. >> the only way this is going to work is if hope defeats fear and that mannifests itself in you guys committing to vote. >> reporter: on the west coast there, were fireworks between california gubernatorial candidates republican meg whitman and democrat jerry brown. debate exploded over comments made by one of brown's campaign workers recorded calling miss whitman a "whore" brown compared the offensiveness of the term compared to the "n" word. >> number two, this is a five-week-old private

conversation. >> reporter: brown apologized for his worker's comments but it didn't end there. >> i think every calan and especially women know exactly what's going on here that, is a deeply offensive term to women. >> could i just interject, have you chasttized your chairman, pete wilson, who called the congress "whores" to the public sector union. >> you know better than that, jerry, that's a completely different think. the fact you are defending your campaign -- >> reporter: in connecticut the gloves came off between democratic senate candidate richard blumenthal and republican linda mcmahon. he went after her tenure as the head of world wrestling entertainment and she hit back calling him a liar over inaccurate statements he made about his vietnam record. >> they know now that you have a difficult time telling the truth. they know that you had a hard time -- >> please, please, ladies and gentlemen. >> i will not be lectured on straight talk. >> i'm not lecturing you. >> please. >> from a woman who has failed

to -- anyone who has failed to be straight with the people of connecticut. >> reporter: and in new york, carl paladino, the republican candidate for governor apologized last night for comments that have created a furrior in the gay community including his claim students are being brain-washed into thinking being gay is just another choice. jeff. >> chip reid at the white house this morning, thank you very much. in baseball the texas rangers won their first playoff series ever. cliff lee pitched a complete game giving up six hits striking out 11 against tampa. after that 5-1 win, they will host the yankees in the american league championship series starting friday night. the good news for the yankees is, cliff lee will not pitch again until game three, dave price. good morning you to. >> that is good news. a lot of badad

most able-bodied up first so that they could give details to rescuers here on the surface to help aid the rescue of those who might be in more precarious positions. >> all right. we'll keep watching this morning, seth doane, once again from chile, thank you very much. about three minutes past the hour. katie couric has a preview of tonight's "cbs evening news." >> good morning. you've heard from the politicians, the polls, and the pundits, but what about the people? before americans go to vote on novemberer

you love your grandchildren, make it happen. >> exactly. we don't realize they have their own lives and blst drop their lives for their grandkids. >> it would be nice for them to want to or other obligations or work. you need to ask. >> a lot of tension is caused by communication breakdowns. how do you avoid that? >> things are different maybe when your parents parented you there. are new things we know, new challenges. you may really have to explain to your parents why you are making the choices you are, provide information, research, provide the reading so they can understand why you are doing what you are doing. >> often you fail that and they ignore it. >> i don't know why grandparents think this, they think it is their right to spoilt children and give the child candy all day long and, here, going back to your house. >> it is true. i've spoken to my parents. they say, look, we get to indulge them. this is our time. we gave you, gave you all the rules, it's our time for indulgence. it is truth to that, within

reason. it is important to communicate to not have breakdowns, look there are limits and respect them and not undermine me. >> there are some examples they shouldn't undermine you. if you have different parenting styles, don't they have to respect your word. >> "have to" is a very strong word. it would be nice if they would. i think, again, if there is conflict you need to go back and say, look, this happened. it is really important to me it happens this way and i really need you to respect how i'm doing it. you did a great job raising me. >> you suggest getting together with your spouse and discussing the role each grandparents should play. why is that important smirchlts you should do that before you even have kids because you want to know what to do early. it's important because your husband may want his parents there all the time and maybe that's not what you want. you may want your parents there all the time and maybe that's not what he wants. you want a balance what will work for everybody and everybody is on the same page working together to be the best parents and grandparents. >> in a perfect world, you want to agree but that can be tough. >> you not always will want to

this january the people of sudan, africa's largest country will vote whether the nation should split in two. the election results could spark a new outbreak of a civil war that took two million lives before ending in 2005. actor and activist george

clooney and john pendergast, co-founder of the enough project recently return from a nine-day trip to sue dan and met tuesday with president obama ma to discuss efforts to prevent another disaster there. george clooney and john prendergast join us from washington. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> george, let me start with you, this referendum is going to happen in january. >> right. >> this splitting of sudan in two seems of a done deal, a fait accompli. what is your biggest fear about what will happen if and when this country splits in half? >> well, we know what's happened before when they went to war two and a half million people died in that 21-year war that ended with a negotiated peace agreement. there's more than a good chance, i'm not saying this, this is from the state department said it is a ticking time bomb. the cia said it's the place most likely to have atrocities

including genocide. the president, we met with senator lugar yesterday. everyone has the same fear, which is that a lot of people could be dying -- could die. >> talk about this a little bit, john, who has the most to gain in this situation, and who's at greatest risk? >> well, the stakes have risen dramatically over the last ten years in southern sudan is the exploitation of oil began to come onstream and sudan now is the third largest oil producer in africa, which is no mean feat because new jaer yeah and angola produce about 15% of exports. there is a lot of stake in the north losing in the south where the oil is, that would be the bill loser. so, they are going to fight it and that's what's putting the two parties at extreme risk of war. the only solution is a diplomatic one and the united

states is going to play a major role in that if we gird our loins and get in there and try to stop the war. >> the oil is basically in the middle of all of this. george, as you went to see the president yesterday, what did he have to say? >> well, we talked to him, you know, we -- we wanted to let him know, first of all, that we were going to try and find as much support as he could, as much political will. the good news is, is this one of those issues even in the most politicized season i think i've ever seen that isn't political at all. both republicans and democrats everyone sort of agrees on diplomatic measures. we very happy to see how involved, really involved, the president personally is in this issue because he understands that now, in 88, 89 days from now, you can do all of this diplomatically, it won't cost a dime, it won't cost american lives now. in 88 days, it's going to be mopping up a mess or there's a

very good possibility and he has, right now, a great commitment trying to avoid that. >> john, what it takes, though, is will, it takes not only individual will but a collective world will to go in there ahead of time and say, all right, after this referendum takes place, you need to not kill each other. is there a way that the world can express that to the people there? i mean, you are talking about omar al bashir, who is a war criminal. is there a way to communicate that that will end up with peace? >> well, the good news is we don't have to send in american troops, we don't have to spend billions of dollars. this is one we can actually prevent. in 2005, american diplomacy helped end the war between the north and the south that we're trying to present the resumption of. so, we have a track record which aggressive and robust diplomacy can actually work. we just need to replicate that

machine, work with our international partness and get the diplomatic solution that can prevent the war. i've been working on war and peace in africa for 25 years. we didn't get in front of rwanda, we didn't prevent somalia. we got a chance to prevent the war between the north and south sudan and have to do everything we can to stop it. >> george, quickly is there a shorthand for this, does there need to be a special diplomatic mission, a special united nations mission, what needs to literally happen in 30 seconds or less so that there's something in place that, firewall to prevent a cataclysm? >> well, we have those are in place now. there is the u.n. security council was -- showed up in juba while we were there last week. there is an envoy and there are people from the united states working on it and there are more coming and there is more work. what it requires is an intense focus. i think that no one was very much focused on this, from

anyone, the u.n., the administration, or anyone two months ago. i think they are now. and i think that's important. >> well, if you didn't keep going there, a lot of us wouldn't be talking about it.

harry, we'll send it inside to you. >> thanks. con leeza rice has acselled from being the first black american woman to serve as u.s. secretary of state to political scientist, to concert pianist. she grew up in the racially charged city of birmingham, alabama and gives major credit to her parents in her memoir "extraordinary ordinary people" and condoleezza rice is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> i ask you first, secretary, madam secretary or dr. rice and you said. >> condi, please, unless you want to brave kond least sashgs that's okay, too. >> i can do it. well, dr. rice, thanks very much for being here. this is such a personal story. this is not about foreign policy, this is not about the -- serving in the bush white house. this is really about your personal story of growth as a child, growing up in the oh, so se greated south. it was a separate kind of growing up, wasn't it? >> yes.

>> describe that. >> well, birmingham really had two parallel societies, on the one hand you had the white world then you had the black world. and the twains didn't meet very often. my parents were part of a middle-class black community that believed in faith and family and education. but, of course, they were quite ordinary people, a school teacher, minister and high school guidance counselor. but the circumstances to teach a little girl you might not be able to have a hamburger at a woolworth's law counter because you couldn't under segregation but could you be president of the united states if you wanted to be and that was owe/. >> what a dichotomy. >> what a die com tee. >> you talk about getting in the car and going on trips and traveling from the deep south and hoping to not have to stop at a gas station. >> that's right. because restrooms were segregated. and, of course, the restrooms for coloreds, as they were called at the time were pretty awful. >> your mother wouldn't goimplts my though ther wouldn't go, simply wouldn't go into them. >> the -- there is that part of

the story thens there he', also, part of the story that you were this only child. >> yes. >> and were you doted on something fierce. >> i was doted on something fierce. i had wonderful parents, who loved me unconditionally and gave me really every opportunity that they could even remotely call an educational opportunity. but, it was really the ethic in my community more broadly. my parents' friends, also, believed in the strength of educational values and preparation and, frankly, being twice as good so that you can show the white man that you were capable. >> underline that again. i mean, it trips off the tongue but think about that living in a world where you had to be i twice as good. >> right. >> given any actual consideration at all. >> that's right. and if you were going to have a productive life and if you were going to control your circumstances, my parents believed that you might not be able to control the circumstances, but you could certainly control your response to them.

and education was a kind of armor, preparation was a kind of armor that allowed you to do that. and so, if you had to be twice as good, so be it. and it wasn't a matter of debate, by the way, it was just sort of said that way. >> i know. it's interesting because there are a bunch of different things. they gave you every lesson under the sun and let you watch as much tv as you wanted, another part of the story i loved so much but also made you earn some things. you had a tiny sort of organ in your house and there was a song. can we just listen to this song a second? ♪ ♪ >> why is this song so important? >> that song is "what a friend we have in jesus" and my father told me, when you can play "what a friend we have in jesus" perfectly, we'll buy you a piano, because i asked for one because the little organ didn't have enough trees. i went to my grandmother's house

that next day and for eight hours i practiced and i practiced and my grandmother said i wouldn't even get up for lunch. when my parents came home to pick me up, i knew "what a friend we have in jesus" perfectly and my poor parents who didn't have the money to buy a piano went out i think on one of those rent-to-own things rented a piano so they wouldn't disappoint me. >> extraordinary stories in this book how your father became a republican because the democrats couldn't register him, a black man couldn't be registered to vote in the south and that day and age. but stokely carmichael came over for dinner. >> absolutely. >> a member of the black panthers. >> my father really was sort of attracted to radical black politics despite the fact he was a quite conservative man himself, republican all his life. he really, i think, was attracted to the way they confronted racism, not with humility and sublimation but really with strength and so i did have a lot of associations that in retrospect would perhaps

be viewed a little strangely. >> how's your golf game? >> my golf game's coming along. working on my short game and looking forward to playing with you, harr. >> one of these days. a terrific book. the next will be about? >> about foreign policy. this says where i came from, important to me. >> quite a story. thank you. >> thank you. >> the book is called "extraordinary ordinary people". >> announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by dannon activia. >> as you probably know by now october is breast cancer awareness months. time again to think pink. katrina szish is here with a selection of great products that all benefit breast cancer charity. good morning, katrina. >> good morning, maggie. so many items this season is so i'll dive right in. >> do it. >> start with items for our fashionista so, many out there. new balance lace up for the cure collection as we have on cas
