7:03 pm
>> phil: wes welker catches the football is definitely out of bounds. key have been down even if it was inbounds. down before the came loose. looked like a pretty good mark. >> jim: actually, looked like the ball hit the out of bounds mark right at the 50. the ball is spotted at the 49. which would be fourth and one. if it's at the 50 may have had the first. but did a knee touch. >> phil: bill belichick challenged it. going to challenge the spot of the ball. this is going to be a -- did it touch? if his knee touched there.
7:04 pm
that as you watch him hit -- watch where the football goes. if you look real closely you can see the white stripe, the 50 yard line. looks like it's short of the 50 yard line. excellent challenge here. >> jim: still have the offensive unit on the field. looking at going for it on fourth and one. >> phil: absolutely. i agree with their decision without a doubt. >> jim: remember the play with the patriots in the flashback to a year ago at indianapolis. they went for it at their own 28. the pass came down again to review. and a measurement, they deemed it short.
7:05 pm
not enough for the first as colts went on to win it. >> referee: ruling on the field will stand. new england will be charged with their third and final time out. >> jim: that's it for the patriots. >> phil: if you're a charger defender you must be alert, tom brady has been doing it all day coming up and getting them to center and snapping the football immediately. >> jim: fourth and a yard. green-ellis is stopped. he was hit by wright. now san diego with 1:55 to go
7:06 pm
and three timeouts. can they they can try it or win it. >> phil: antwan barnes and antwan applewhite. they have been tough. the quick snap by tom brady, they were ready getting off the block. no chance. >> jim: they line up connolly as fullback. but no one was going to stop antwan applewhite from busting across. >> phil: that's a good look. look at the penetration. and those defenders were running, they were in formation to run it left and they did. >> jim: we talked about so much about the tough yard, now green-ellis doesn't lose yardage but look what happened. lost a yard there. now taking over on downs from the 48. rivers, coming on now he's down to the 35 and already in fieldgoal range. those of you expecting "60 minutes. it's coming up after football except on the west coast you'll
7:07 pm
see it at regular time. jim nantz and phil simms here in san diego. that play goes for 12. >> phil: i couldn't see the number, man-to-man the last time they were trying to be aggressive with him. he's so big it was wilhite, he just ran right through him and created space. >> jim: 1:20 to go. rivers, works. creighton had a play on it. didn't hold on. >> phil: top of your screen, inside, nice route. you got to make that catch. you got to make it 100 out of 100. got to go down there and get it. why? because you're trying to get in fieldgoal range. five yards is huge. >> jim: that would have been ten. five, maybe ten. second down and ten as rivers goes back to creighton over the
7:08 pm
head. >> phil: the throw away. >> jim: you think how crucial this down is. of course you have chance from here with kris brown, if they advance it at all would be about 52 or 53 yards. >> phil: if they pick up five or six yards i believe they will try to kick the fieldgoal. >> jim: brown's career long is 57. 1:14 to go. third and ten. rivers on the run, what a catch. that was a yard short of a first. that is gates. picks up eight. >> phil: good job, the pocket collapsed on philip rivers, he does a good job of getting outside.
7:09 pm
>> jim: now just going to let the clock run down because new england has no timeouts. you convert here you don't want to give brady any time here at the end of regulation. going to be about a 45-yard attempt to tie it. just unimaginable earlier in this corner. >> phil: think how special teams have let them down so many times this year. it would be a good way to start that arrow going the other way. >> jim: it's going to be 45 yards we figure. tonight on cbs, "60 minutes." all new followed by "the amazing race" "undercover boss" "csi: miami." >> phil: we watch the kickers, and i was watching kris brown, he was kicking them 50 yards, hitting the net way up.
7:10 pm
but those are practice footballs. the pressure is not on like it is now. >> jim: there you see brown last year. he has been so reliable for so long down in houston. missed couple of crucial ones last year late. but here, new life. 45 yards it is. mike windt to snap it back to scifres. flag first. paths are out of timeouts. it was fourth and two. what do we have here? >> referee: false start, offense, no. 65. five-yard penalty. >> phil: now you're asking for a 50 yarder.
7:11 pm
think of all the trouble they have had here. brown now from 50 to tie it. it hits the upright! distance not an issue. >> phil: it actually looked like, it does hook just a little bit, jim, as it is going up there. but not enough. >> jim: wow. patriots are going to win it.
7:12 pm
by basically the width of a football. that's all it was that prevented this game go from go to over time. patriots have a 17-point lead where 7:30 to play. and hold on. to win it at 23-20. to improve to 5-1 san diego slides to 2-5. final score, new england 23 and san diego 20. coming up next is "60 minutes" followed by new episodes ever "the amazing race" and "undercover boss" and "csi: miami". from phil simms and jim nantz, you've been watching the nfl on cbs. ng over how geico helps people save in even more ways... ...with good driver discounts, multi-car discounts, defensive driver discounts...

captioning funded by cbs and ford-- built for the road ahead. >> ...families with small children. >> pelley: never have we had a recession this deep with a recovery this flat. these are the faces of unemployment in america: people in their 40s, 50s and 60s who thought they'd done everything right-- earned a degree, stayed with their company, saved for retirement. i'm curious-- how many ph.d.s in this room? and how many of you went to college? how many of you have cashed out your 401(k)s? i.r.a.s? savings accounts? how many of you are beginning to
7:18 pm
feel a little bit desperate? >> logan: what do you love about them? >> just everything. >> logan: we share more than 98% of our d.n.a. with chimpanzees, and jane goodall was the first to understand that we share much more than that with them. >> it was obvious watching them that they could be happy and sad. and then, the communication signals-- kissing, embracing, holding hands, shaking the fist, swaggering. they're just like us. >> kroft: there's nothing on television quite like "top gear." it's one of the most popular shows on the planet. each week, 350 million viewers in 170 countries tune in to watch extravagantly filmed segments, usually involving some kind of motorized vehicle-- part
7:19 pm
reality show, part buddy movie, part monty python. >> i am an alien! >> it's a journey into the male mind, which i believe is a really, potentially, very funny place. because, let's face it, nothing happens there. >> i'm steve kroft. >> i'm lesley stahl. >> i'm bob simon. >> i'm morley safer. >> i'm lara logan. >> i'm scott pelley. those stories tonight on "60 minutes." how smart is the new ford edge? well, it can show you the most fuel-efficient route to where you're going. it can find the best price on gas.

7:22 pm
>> pelley: the economic jam we're in has topped even the great depression in one respect: never have we had a recession this deep with a recovery this flat. unemployment has been at 9.5% or above for 14 months. congress did something that it's never done before: it extended unemployment benefits to 99 weeks. that cost more than $100 billion, a huge expense for a government in debt. but now, for many americans, 99 weeks have passed and there is still no job in sight. some have taken to calling themselves the 99'ers. we went to several communities in search of the 99'ers. but we didn't expect to find such a crisis in silicon valley, the high-tech capital that many people hoped would be creating jobs. if you want to understand why the economy is stalled, come to san jose, california, and talk with 99'ers like marianne rose.
7:23 pm
>> marianne rose: i remember it coming close to, like, six months. i was saying, "i can't believe i'm out of work this long." then, the year mark hit, and i just started just panicking seriously. now that it's over two years, i can't believe it. i just... i can't believe it. >> pelley: marianne rose was a financial analyst at a real estate firm. age 54, she's single with a grown daughter. after being laid off with about 100 co-workers, she spent her savings, lost her home, and finally found herself sitting in a truck with her dog and all of her possessions. she made a desperate call to a friend, and found refuge upstairs in the home of strangers, her friend's brother and sister-in-law. how long did you think you would be in here? >> rose: two weeks, really. that's all i thought. >> pelley: how long has it been? >> rose: it's been six months. it's been six months and not
7:24 pm
really an end in sight, yet. >> pelley: what sort of things would you be willing to do at this point? >> rose: well, i can say that the... probably the lowest level position for me has been now to apply for a clerk, a county clerk, and i just realized the competition is pretty stiff out there. there's actually four positions that were open. i found out there were over 2,000 people that applied for those four positions. >> pelley: marianne rose is one of at least a million and a half americans who've exhausted their unemployment checks. >> 15 people-- no more, no more than 15-- come up here and line up across. if you're number 16, you're too late. >> pelley: now, silicon valley, the capital of american innovation, has a new creation, revival meetings for the unemployed. >> i had been running very frightened for the last two years. and i finally realized, you know what? i will find a job. i will find something that will fit me.
7:25 pm
>> pelley: on weekends, they come by the hundreds. we joined a gathering in a church called "job connections." it's part how-to-find-a-job workshop, part networking opportunity, with the feel of a 12-step program. >> so i applied and i got a rejection letter, and i was actually happy, because most of the time, i don't even get a rejection letter. ( laughter ) >> you had your hand up. >> i've been having a lot of success with non-profits. >> pelley: these are the faces of the unemployed in silicon valley. people in their 40s, 50s and 60s who thought they'd done everything right-- earned a degree, stayed with their company, saved for retirement. i'm curious. how many ph.d.s in this room? one, two, three, four... several. now leave your hands up. how many masters degrees? oh, boy. and how many of you went to college? everybody keep your hands up if
7:26 pm
you have a college degree, a master's degree, or a ph.d. how many of you expected to retire from the company where you were working? more than half the room. how many of you have cashed out your 401(k)s? i.r.a.s? savings accounts? how many of you are beginning to feel a little bit desperate? it's on the edge? how do you mean? >> what's next? >> pelley: what is next? >> i don't know. the abyss. >> pelley: a lot of them are too young to retire and, maybe, too old to rehire. the longer they're out, the tougher it gets. judy thompson was marking the time before she loses her home. >> judy thompson: three months maybe, and i've been in that house since 1982. i don't want to move. >> pelley: where you going to go? >> thompson: i don't know.
7:27 pm
i'm trying not to think that far ahead. but anyway, didn't mean to get emotional. sorry. >> pelley: that's... that's all right, judy. thank you very much. thank you. sara huber may lose her family business of 23 years. >> sara huber: everything's gone, and we can't survive because these people can't survive. >> pelley: because these people don't have jobs, they're not coming to your business? >> huber: the equity lines are frozen, right. people don't... they don't have credit. there's nothing there. >> pelley: how long can your business go on? >> huber: we're going month to month, literally. i'm praying for more work. >> pelley: jim wild has been applying for jobs two years. >> jim wild: i've gone though the tier one companies. i've gone though the tier two companies, and now i'm down to target. i just got a job offer from target to work a part-time job at $9.50 or $9.25 an hour. >> pelley: what's that job? >> wild: it's just floor sales. >> pelley: what was your job before? >> wild: i was a fiber optics engineering manager. >> pelley: he's taking the job at target, and he's glad to get it.
7:28 pm
these folks aren't that unusual. today, nearly 20% of the unemployed in america have college degrees. silicon valley lost its jobs in construction, manufacturing, and in high-tech engineering that went overseas. san jose looks the same, but it shrank by 75,000 jobs. this building is empty. so is this one, and this one, too. the national unemployment rate of about 9.5% sounds incredibly high, and of course it is. but it doesn't nearly capture the depth of the trouble. it doesn't count the people who've seen their hours cut to part-time. it doesn't count the people who have quit looking for work. if you add all of that together-- the unemployed and the underemployed-- it's not 9.5%; it's 17%, and here in california, it's 22%. >> ...families with small children. >> pelley: and what makes it so
7:29 pm
much worse is that, nationwide, one-third of the unemployed have been out of work more than a year. that hasn't happened since the depression. >> welcome back, my friend. there you are. >> pelley: this is the soup kitchen in san jose. many of the folks here used to think that they could see all the way to retirement. but now, long-term unemployment is wrecking years of saving and planning by people like lisa and doug francone. doug was a $200,000-a-year personnel executive. you must have thought that you'd get another job pretty quickly. >> doug francone: yeah. it really didn't cross my mind that i wouldn't find something. the question was trying to take the time to find the right job. >> pelley: you'd have a job in six months, a job that you liked in six months. and how long has it been? >> lisa francone: two years and three months. >> pelley: they'd saved for retirement, and college for their son and daughter. but most of that is gone. >> doug francone: the unemployment checks were tiny.
7:30 pm
i can't remember what they were, but... >> pelley: it was about $470 a week, something like that. >> lisa francone: $475. >> pelley: $475-- she knows exactly what the number was. >> lisa francone: yes, i do. >> pelley: lisa, what were you doing with $475 a week? >> lisa francone: well, by the time we paid benefits, we had enough to pay a bill or two, but certainly not meet the mortgage or property taxes or groceries. >> pelley: now, their son is going into the military instead of college. selling the house will be next. >> mark, shut it down. bring me the vacuum. >> pelley: doug took matters into his own hands. he created jobs for him and his son, buying a franchise that cleans air ducts. he spent his 401(k) on this. but there hasn't been enough business to make money. >> doug francone: i don't want to come off like "oh, you know, woe is us." there's other people struggling a lot worse than we are.
7:31 pm
but it's certainly very different for us. >> pelley: you're surprised to be in this place. >> doug francone: oh, absolutely. yeah. shocked, really. >> pelley: like the francones, four and a half million americans have taken hardship withdrawals from their 401(k)s. with savings gone and unemployment checks exhausted, many are coming to charities, including the c.a.l.l. primrose center, a pantry of free food. >> vera, tell me how many you'd like to have. they're organic... >> pelley: mary watts has run c.a.l.l. primrose for 11 years. before the great recession began, you were sending out how many bags of groceries in a year? >> mary watts: when i started in '99, it was 4,000 bags a year. >> pelley: and now, it's what? >> watts: its going to be 32,000 to 35,000 bags this year. >> pelley: you know, these people coming into the pantry now, they must look like professionals. >> watts: oh, absolutely. yes, absolutely, professionals. career professionals, people that never, ever would have thought they would be coming in our door, other than perhaps as a donor.
7:32 pm
>> pelley: this is where we met claudia bruce. she was an office manager making $70,000 a year when she was laid off. now, her 99 weeks of unemployment checks are running out. she never imagined she'd need free food. but then, she never imagined she would be picking out trash to sell to the recycler. >> claudia bruce: you do what you have to do. i'm not delighted, but i'm happy to have the money that it provides. >> pelley: the day before you were laid off, what was your lifestyle? >> bruce: i was a shop-a-holic. ( laughs ) yeah. i was trying to reform myself, but there's nothing like losing your job for a long period of time to completely reform a shop-a-holic. >> pelley: your car has turned into a garbage truck. >> bruce: pretty much. petty much. >> pelley: how long did it take you to collect all this stuff? >> bruce: over a couple of days.
7:33 pm
>> pelley: she's learned a lot doing this. glass pays more than cans. and she has to be quick to beat the neighborhood homeless guy to the good stuff. how much do you figure? >> bruce: $28. >> pelley: $28. >> bruce: maybe. >> pelley: what did it come to? >> bruce: $33.81 >> pelley: $33. >> bruce: personal record. ( laughs ) >> pelley: did you ever think that $33 would mean so much? >> bruce: no. but then, i never thought $5 would mean so much, either. >> pelley: claudia bruce has applied for hundreds of jobs, from office manager to clerical work. she's had four interviews in two years. she's managed to keep a small apartment, with help to pay the rent. >> bruce: i do get some help from my mom. >> pelley: how old's your mom? >> bruce: 83. >> pelley: and so, she's helping you out even now. >> bruce: yeah, she... i'm her baby still, you know. >> pelley: you didn't expect to be her baby at this point in your life. >> bruce: absolutely not. i thought i'd be helping her, now; that she wouldn't be helping me. >> pelley: her benefits will end
7:34 pm
when she hits 99 weeks soon. no one is expecting congress to vote another extension of unemployment checks, given our historic budget deficits. as government benefits run out, a lot of people are depending on kindness to take their place. marianne rose lived with her friend's brother for seven months, insisting on cooking and cleaning to earn her keep. in recent days, she found a job in a public school. it'll pay about one third what she used to make. it's the best thing to happen in two years, but it's little and late. do you imagine getting your lifestyle back? >> rose: no, because now, i would have to worry about, you know, my old age, rebuild a nest egg, pay off my debts that i have. that has to happen, so no, my lifestyle will not be the same ever.
7:35 pm
>> cbs money watch update. >> good evening. the government plans to announce the first ever fuel efficiency rules for trucks and buses tomorrow. gasoline rose another 5 cents over the last two weeks to an average 2.82 a gallon. and para normal activity 2 won the weekend box office. i'm randall kingston, cbs news.

7:37 pm
7:38 pm
>> logan: humans share more than 98% of the same dna with chimpanzees, which is probably why there's always been a fascination with them. what we know of them is mostly because of one woman whose name has become synonymous with chimps: jane goodall. she was launched to fame by "national geographic," whose stories about her life in an african forest with chimpanzees
7:39 pm
made her an iconic figure. she was the first to discover that wild chimpanzees were capable of making and using tools, a revelation that turned the scientific world upside down, challenging the convention that tool-making was what made humans unique. 50 years later, jane goodall considers her role now to be more important than ever, which is why we wanted to go back with her to africa. there's only one way to get to the gombe forest-- by boat. >> jane goodall: the hills there, you know, which are like a desert now? when i arrived in 1960, in july, those hills were forest. >> logan: we traveled with her across lake tanganyika, the longest lake in the world, and then into the forest which jane goodall called home for decades. she first came to tanzania, to this stretch of tropical forest on the remote eastern shores of the lake to study chimpanzees,
7:40 pm
when she was 26 years old, a young girl from england with no scientific training-- just a notebook and binoculars. how would you describe what it was like 50 years ago? >> goodall: it was a kind of magical place where i never knew each day what i might see or discover. >> logan: we followed the forest trails for hours through the towering trees and tangled vines, searching for jane goodall's chimpanzees. then, that unmistakable sound... ( chimp squealing ) that led us right to them. oh, look at that little baby. >> goodall: it's pretty amazing, the entire family. >> logan: jane instantly recognized her favorite family, three generations right there in front of us. she's followed this family for 50 years and gave them the names they're still known by today. what do you love about them? >> goodall: just everything.
7:41 pm
>> logan: this is little google. at nearly two years old, he's one of the youngest here. and his mother gaia, who jane's known for 17 years. his grandmother is gremlin. jane says she's one of the oldest and most gentle chimps in the forest. she's known her since she was born, in 1970. jane, jane. >> goodall: yeah. i can hear. >> logan: who's that? >> goodall: glitter. >> logan: 12 year old glitter is little google's aunt. today, the chimps are so used to humans, they don't mind getting close. but since it's now known that chimps can catch our infectious diseases, we had to keep a safe distance. when jane arrived here in 1960, she had the opposite problem. at first, the chimps didn't want to come near you. >> goodall: yes, first, they were afraid. then, they became belligerent. and then, when i wouldn't go away, well... ( laughs ) "i guess she's okay."
7:42 pm
they came to trust. >> logan: that trust allowed jane to enter the world of these wild animals, and the personal details she spent years documenting today constitute the largest scientific database in the world for this species. >> goodall: it was obvious watching them that they could be happy and sad. and then, the communication signals-- kissing, embracing, holding hands, patting on the back, shaking the fist, swaggering, throwing rocks. all of these things done in the same context we do them. >> logan: how did you see their sense of humor? >> goodall: i've seen a mother laugh when she hears her older child, who hasn't paid attention and he hasn't noticed which way she's gone. and the older child is going through the forest, whimpering, crying, you know... ( imitates call ) and the mother's up in the tree, quite quiet. and you hear her going... ( imitates chimp laugh )
7:43 pm
just laughing. >> logan: can you make a greeting? >> goodall: let me get in the mood of doing the pant grunt greeting. yes. ( pants, grunts ) and the laughing, which is ( imitates chimp laugh ) and can get quite loud. >> logan: it does sound like laughing. >> goodall: yeah, it does sound like laughing. it is laughing. >> logan: we spent 12 hours in the forest with jane goodall, before we witnessed firsthand what made her so famous. chimpanzees use sticks as tools to fish for termites. her discovery was initially received with some skepticism. >> goodall: some of the scientists thought i had taught them. >> logan: that would have been quite an achievement. >> goodall: especially as i couldn't get near them back then.
7:44 pm
it would have been very clever. >> logan: with the discovery came research funding from the national geographic society, and fame. >> in 1960, miss jane goodall arrives in tanzania. her discoveries here will startle the scientific world, and lead to the possible redefinition of the word "man." ♪ >> goodall: the films and the... and the magazines took this early footage all around the world, but particularly to the u.s. >> logan: it changed everything. >> goodall: it changed everything. yeah. >> logan: and made you world= famous. >> goodall: the chimps made me famous, yes. >> logan: we watched some of those old films... >> goodall: that is such a famous shot. it was so amazing. >> logan: ...images that captivated the world. >> goodall: there was definitely a bit of beauty and the beast. i mean, i know that.
7:45 pm
this young girl... i see myself back then, when i look at myself. and i... yeah, no wonder the men fell in love. >> logan: look at you, you're barefoot here. >> goodall: yes, that's figan. >> logan: what's he doing? >> goodall: playing. we didn't know back then that chimps caught all our infectious diseases. there wasn't any feeling of doing anything wrong. it was amazing, incredible to be able to have that relationship with wild animals, wasn't it? >> logan: yes. >> goodall: yeah. >> logan: it was jane goodall's childhood fascination with animals that brought her to this remote corner of africa to study them. did you have a real sense of purpose when you landed on the shores? >> goodall: no, i think i had a real sense of adventure. >> logan: did you fall in love with africa? >> goodall: i fell in love with africa long before i ever went there. when i got there, it felt like coming home. >> logan: how would you describe the jane of those days? >> goodall: very naive, shy. very determined.
7:46 pm
always slightly startled that things were working out. and a terrible flirt. >> logan: you were a terrible flirt? >> goodall: oh, i was. ( laughter ) >> logan: was that well received? >> goodall: tell me you weren't. >> logan: this is not my story. while jane goodall's work had a huge impact, it was sometimes undermined by the fact that she had never studied science. was it hard to be taken seriously by the scientific community? >> goodall: oh, i was not taken very seriously by many of the scientists. i was known as a geographic cover girl. >> logan: what did you think of that? >> goodall: well, i didn't care. at least, i didn't think i did. because, you know, i was studying these chimpanzees, and if people thought i did it wrong, well, let them go and do it differently. but let me do it my way. >> logan: what did you find about them that you didn't like? >> goodall: i hated the fact that they could be very cruel and brutal, and that they have a dark side just like us.
7:47 pm
>> logan: another of jane goodall's discoveries-- that chimpanzees kill their own species, one more way they resemble humans. these images from the forest show a group attacking another chimp that's wandered onto their territory. jane says they beat them brutally and leave them to die of their wounds. did it surprise you that they could be so cruel? >> goodall: it did. i thought they were like us, but nicer. >> logan: and they're not? >> goodall: no, they're just like us. >> logan: at times, it was very dangerous for jane. this chimp, frodo, was particularly violent and nearly killed her one day. >> goodall: he flipping well came up, and dragged me down, stamped on me. it hurt. he bashed my head onto a rock, and it was bleeding. and then, he... then, he went away, and i thought, "oh, well, i've survived." and then, he came back and did it again. and then, he pushed me over the edge. and if there hadn't been some little bushes growing there, i wouldn't be here now, because it
7:48 pm
was a way big drop. >> logan: this is frodo's older brother, freud. although he looks menacing, bill wallauer, who filmed these pictures, says it's just a show meant to intimidate. >> bill wallauer: that's somebody. >> logan: it's a chimp? >> wallauer: yeah. >> logan: where? >> wallauer: just through the veg there, in the tree. >> logan: bill came here to work for the jane goodall institute, and lived in the forest for 15 years. >> wallauer: wow, look at those eyes. >> logan: the institute carries on jane's work here through bill, a team of researchers, and scientists who come from all over the world. >> wallauer: don't you get the feeling, when you're looking at him and he's looking at you, it's equal minds. >> logan: that's why you just want to talk to him. you just want to say hi. >> logan: jane goodall says she would still be living in the forest, but she had to leave to try to save the chimpanzees. their numbers have been falling ever since she arrived here-- from over a million then to less

than 300,000 today. poaching and loss of habitat have made them an endangered species. at age 76, that keeps jane goodall on the road 300 days a year, from the halls of congress... to the stage of a packed rock concert... ( cheers and applause ) to a school in uganda, east africa. she's constantly raising money and raising awareness. >> goodall: you are so lucky to live near these amazing and wonderful creatures. tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle. you should laugh. yeah, that's better. >> logan: protecting chimpanzees is still at the core of jane goodall's mission today. she's helped create four sanctuaries, like this one in
7:50 pm
uganda for orphaned chimpanzees, and she's inspired 15 more across africa. to get so close to them, we had to be vaccinated. what are the reasons their mothers are killed? >> goodall: well, sometimes, it's bush meat, and there's still some of the live animal trade going, which means you shoot the mother to take the baby. >> logan: how urgent is it to save these creatures? >> goodall: well, if they weren't here, they'd be dead. >> logan: as much as jane loves chimpanzees, there's something about her they seem to love. is that what a mother chimp would do? >> goodall: no. ( laughter ) >> logan: only mama jane. she liked it. >> goodall: yes, of course. so would a child. >> logan: they're so like children-- playful, curious... and very affectionate. for us, it was a final glimpse into jane's world, the woman who
7:51 pm
bridged the divide between humans and animals, and changed the way we think about them. >> goodall: we're part of the animal kingdom, not separated from it. we could have a blood transfusion from a chimp, if you matched the blood group. you really could. and the other way around, too. people say to me, "thank you for giving them characters and personalities." i didn't give them anything; i merely translated them for people. >> welcome to sports cup date. i'm james brown in new york with the scores from around the in fl. the steelers and patriots immove to 5-and-1. tied with the jets for the best record in the league. drew breast throws four interceptions. the bears loss to the skins. the rangers come from behind keeping buffalo the only winless team as carolina wins its first. for more news and scores log on to cbssports.com.

may be at increased risk of heart attack. diet and exercise weren't enough for me. i stopped kidding myself. i've been eating healthier, exercising more... and now i'm also taking lipitor. if you've been kidding yourself about high cholesterol...stop. along with diet, lipitor has been shown to lower bad cholesterol 39% to 60%. lipitor is fda approved to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients who have heart disease or risk factors for heart disease.

man: everybody knows you should save for retirement, but what happens when you're about to retire? woman: how do you go from saving to spending? fidelity helped us get to this point, and now we're talking about what comes next. man: we worked together to create a plan to help our money last. woman: so we can have the kind of retirement we want. now, you know how this works. just stay on the line. oh, yeah. fidelity investments. turn here.

>> kroft: no one ranks the most popular television programs on the planet, but if they did, one of them would have to be "top gear." the british automotive show is seen by 350 million viewers in 170 countries every week, and that includes a small cult-like following in the u.s. on the cable channel bbc america. the program is ostensibly about cars. but it's really about the adventures of three clever middle-age blokes who travel the world, conducting all sorts of elaborate competitions, races and challenges that push the boundaries of television and automotive acceptability. it's part reality show, part buddy movie, part monty python. with spin-offs and merchandising, "top gear" is a billion-and-a-half dollar property and a global gold mine for the bbc, the same people who brought you "i, claudius." but you're not likely to confuse the two after you've seen this story. there's nothing on television quite like "top gear."
7:57 pm
what began as a boring automotive program in the 1970s has morphed into this. >> jeremy clarkson: that's the most amazing road i've ever seen. >> kroft: in this recent episode, the hosts took three of the world's highest performing cars on an expedition to find the best driving road in europe, which they finally discovered in romania. viewers tune in to watch extravagantly filmed segments, usually involving some kind of motorized vehicle. it could be driving the smallest car ever made through the bbc's offices, or testing the toughness of long haul trucks by smashing one through a brick wall. there's a news section, car reviews, and a talk show segment with international celebrities, who must agree to turn some laps in an under-powered kia to demonstrate their driving prowess. this summer, tom cruise nearly killed himself while clocking
7:58 pm
the season's fastest lap. ( applause ) we asked the executive producer, andy wilman, to try and define the show's appeal. >> andy wilman: it's a journey into the male mind, which, i believe, is a really, potentially, very funny place. because, let's face it, nothing happens there. >> kroft: the show's popularity has turned a trio of aging automotive journalists with schoolboy senses of humor into worldwide television stars. >> clarkson: i like the idea that us three are arbiters of taste. >> kroft: first among equals is jeremy clarkson, a big, bombastic, chain-smoking newspaper columnist who is one of the best-known commentators in the u.k. his subversive personality sets the tone and drives the action. i mean, you've said some pretty outrageous things. "all bmws are driven by people who are psychologically unfit to
7:59 pm
drive anything more powerful than an electric razor." >> clarkson: yeah, that certain was the case. i would change that to audis now. but it was the case with bmw. you need to look at, "why did that person buy a bmw? what was it about the bmw?" there's something about the image of the car that appeals to them. they are, what my son calls, "winners." they love to win. "i want to win." and there's no sense, "well, it was good game." "i want to win, and i'm a winner. and i'm going to be cross if i've lost." there's always that bmw thing. >> kroft: what makes a good car for you? >> clarkson: soul. soul. definitely, soul. something that you just think, "wow. there's something about this thing. it's talking to me." >> kroft: clarkson's regular foil is james may, a connoisseur of cars and superior engineering. what's the fastest you've ever driven in a car? >> james may: 259.2 miles per hour. >> kroft: what kind of a car? >> may: bugatti veron super sports. that was only last week. ( laughs ) >> kroft: despite this
