it is tuesday, march 20 the first day of spring. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. it's primary day in illinois. will it hurt his chances for an upset? we'll also talk to republican congressman paul ryan about his new budget proposal that's causing a stir on capitol hill. and the controversial shooting death of a florida teen. >> i'm erica hill. the investigation of highway speeding not by the bad guys but by the police. former secretary of state condoleezza rice is with us. john miller investigates

this growing problem, and the man behind "mad men" stops by. but first as we do every morning we begin with a look at today's eye opener. your world in 90 seconds. ja reports of tornadoes toughing down. >> severe storms pound texas, damaging or destroying dozens of homes. >> damages winds that will last well into this morning. >> within a second the whole entire front of the building just collapsed in front of us. >> number one i'll eat some pancakes. number two i neepd you go vote tomorrow. >> illinois voters go to the polls while rick santorum plays damage control. i don't care what the unemployment rate is going to be. it doesn't matter to many. ourcandidacy is about freedom. the justice department and the fbi have open and investigation into the shooting of black teenager last month.

>> the shooting of trayvon mrtin. staff sergeant robert bales talks to the lawyer who will defend him. >> 16 people dead including five children. you're telling me he remembers none of that. >> that's correct. >> the nfl version of march madness ends. there's no telling where he'll end up like one of his passes passes. the buffalo zoo's lone male gorilla got oust his cage. the shirtless rick santorum lounging in a pool is circulating on the internet. >> i said rick you need to start taking more steps and stairs instead of elevators. >> they won't. >> and all that matters on "cbs this morning." >> and he'll put his paw on your leg and kind of nudges you. do you want to go out?

>> and he says aye. >> he's very smart. >> is this what biden does? captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." it is primary day in illinois. the latest contest on the road to the republican presidential nomination. >> there are 54 delegates at stake there today. for mitt romney and rosick santorum, there are no guarantees after a misstep by santorum on monday. political correspondent jan crawford is in chicago this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. that's right. mitt romney is expected to do well. rick santorum has been getting hammered in the television ads and he's slipping in the polls and yesterday he could not buy a break, making a big stumble leading up to today's crucial vote. rick santorum was saying his campaign is about the big picture, but it didn't come out

that way. >> you need a candidate who's going to be a fighter for freedom, who's going to make that the central theme in this case because it is the central theme in this race. i don't care what the unemployment rate is going to be. it doesn't matter to me. >> reporter: for romney that was like shooting fish in a barrel. >> he said he doesn't care about the unemployment rate. that doesn't bother him. i do care about the unemployment rate. it does bother me. >> reporter: in a grueling political campaign where candidates are constantly on the road and always sleep deprived the words don't always come out right. santorum later tried to explain what he meant. >> i want the unemployment rate to go down but i'm saying my candidacy doesn't hinge on whether the unemployment rate goes up or down. >> reporter: and before he takes another shot romney might want to remember a few missteps he's taken like wanting to be able to dump your health care insurance. romney got a lot of grief from

the media and his rupp rivals and he too, said he didn't mean it that way. now here in illinois the race is down to two and a new poll from arg has romney in the lead as the candidates turn away from social issues and back to economy. >> do you think the country wants to elect a wall street financier? do you think that's the kind of experience we need? >> reporter: last night santorum tried to continue to recover. he told voters that he doesn't read off a teleprompter or notes somebody else is written for him. when you do that you're bound to make mistakes. he said it's more important to speak candidly so the voters know who you are. >> thank you. republican congressman paul ryan is set to make a scheduled budgeting proposeal today. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. how are you doing? >> good morning again.

tell us what the core idea is. >> we want to get ahead of a debt crisis. we want to take all of the empty promises that our government is making and make sure that they're not broken promises. we want to save medicare from bankruptcy. we want to put our debt on a pathway to balancing and paying off the debt and we want to get our economy growing again by fund fundn't fund a meantal tax reform. >> are you surprised and is it your intent to reignite this debate? >> i think there's been plenty of talk. i think they has been talk about the features how to deal with the entitlement programs. i think there's been a lot of talk about it, but i think we also need to see the forest through the trees which is the point, i think, you're getting at. we have a debt crisis coming. we're borrowing 40 cents out of every dollar we spend. we owe the country a choice of two futures and that's what we're showing them today, which

is how we would get the finances of the country straight get the economy growing, how we would get this debt under control and paid off, and how we'll take on the drivers of the debt which, yes, they can become political issues, but we thing we owe it to the country to show them how to fix these problems. >> it is still a proposal even though you have changed it a little bit. tell me what you think the country has to do with respect to medicare and how you have changed it from your previous proposal. >> i think they have to make a choice, which is do they want to stick with the president's health care law which raids a half a billion dollars from the health care and puts a board of 15 bureaucrats in charge of price control and rationing medicare for seniors. we get rid of that. we say don't change medicare for people near retirement. they're about to retire. don't change their benefits buchl in order to make good on those promises you must change it for the next generation and

the system we propose is not much different than what we have. what's different this year is like our newbie partisan plan. if you want to have the traditional medicare choice along with private plans, you can do that. more for the poor and sick less for the wealthy is how we propose to do it. >> as you know democrats have tried to portray you as someone who wants to destroy medicare and they have a poster in which, in a sense, you are the poster boy of that. the argument is that you will lead to voluntary system destruct something seniors have come to depend on. >> the president's health care law does that already. he puts 15 in charge of it and raids over half a billion dollars to spend on another program. in order to do that you have to reform the program and save it to prevelkt it from going

bankrupt. that's what we do. scare tactics, i don't think are going work. the country wants to be spoken to like adults, not pandered to like children. we owe them choice we owe them leadership, i think. and if you want to sake medicare and prevent it from going bankrupt, you must save the program. >> i want to get this in. you want to reduce the rates to two rates, 10% and 25%. >> that's right. we think we need progrowth economic policy. one of the key degrees to economic growth is a tax system that's fair. take away the tax shelters that high income earners use in order to lower everybody's tax rates. >> but no alternative minimum. >> nobody wants to have the alternative minimum tax to continue. we say get rid of that because the alternative minimum tax was because people were using tax shelters. we're saying get rid of all the tax shelters so you can lower everybody's tax rates. it's more competitive, it's

fair, and it helps us grow our economy and make sure we don't tax our successful small businesses than at much higher rates and that's what this reform does. >> thank you. staff sergeant robert bales remains in custody this morning at fort leveravenworth, kansas. his attorney says he has no memory of the incident in which 16 civilians were killed. brown met with bales for the first time on monday and then he sat down with peter van zandt. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. after an eight-hour session yesterday in a facility behind me that left everyone in the room in tears, accused masked killer sergeant robert bales is meeting with his defense team again. lead defense attorney john henry brown says during his first meeting with robert bales, the

army sergeant broke down. >> moved by the whole thing beyond anything i ever been involved in before. >> did robert bales tell you he went out the night of march 11th and shot these people? >> no, he did not. he has no memory -- he has an early memory of that evening, and he has a later memory of that evening, but he doesn't have a memory of in between. >> reporter: bales is expected to be formally charged this week for killing 16 afghan civilians. most of them children and women. bales told you he was not drinking that night. >> he said he had had a couple of sips but he didn't've ebb have a full drink. >> reporter: but he was not drunk. >> no. >> reporter: brown says bales showed concern for his fellow troops in afghanistan and gave a riveting account of what it's like to be a soldier deployed multiple times. do you believe he suffers from

post-traumatic stress disorder? >> there's no question. you can get that from being in a car accident. can you imagine what it would do to you if you're dragging parts of your friends' bodies around. >> reporter: is he on a suicide watch right now? >> he's being watched carefully. i'm concerned about his being a danger to himself. >> reporter: bales told brown he's eager to speak with his family. his wife karilyn, broke her silence in a statement monday calling the killings a terrible and heartbreaking tragedy. she says what has been reported is completely out of character of the man i know and admire. but bales had a troubled financial past. he was accused of stealing money from his clients when he worked as a financial adviser. he was ordered to repay more than $1 million but never did. and just this month, the family put their home in washington

state on the market for $50,000 less than they paid. moving vans pulled up on monday. and defense attorney brown also told me that a member of the defense team will be heading to afghanistan sometime in the next ten days to speak with officials, survivors and potentially some witnesses to this alleged crime. they do have a problem. sergeant robert bales has no money to pay his civilian attorneys. charlie and erica? >> peter, thanks. it has been nearly a month since the shooting of an unaround black teen in florida caused headlines and led to protests. senior correspondent jen millerohn miller is telling us. >> reporter: under growing public pressure, the department of justice released a statement last night saying they will conduct a review of evidence in the shooting of 17-year-old

trayvon martin adding this qualification. the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person acted intentionally and with the specific intent to do something which the law forbids. complicating matters, florida state law allows that a person has the right to stand their ground and use deadly force if they feel threatened. the department of justice recognized that stating negligence recklessness mistakes, and actions are not prosecutable under the civil rights laws. they will get whether zimmerman violates his rights, specifically whether he was targeted because of his race. he was unarmed carrying only a cell phone, a can of iced tea and a bag of skittles. cbs spoke with his father. >> it can't be defense. no way. what he's going to do? attack him with a pack of skittles?

>> are you following him? >> no. >> okay you don't need to do that. >> reporter: he has reported dozens of times with a pattern of reporting african-americans. >> black males, two black males in their late teens. >> he's been taken away from us and nothing can bring him back. >> john miller good morning. >> good morning. >> how hard is a case like this to prove? >> on a federal side it's going to be very difficult. murder or manslaughter is not a federal crime. they have to prove under the civil rights law that he took someone's life because of some predetermined prejudice, so it's an uphill battle. >> why did they reopen the case or take the case? >> i think the justice department took the case and saw the public mounting concern over it and also under the florida state law with this idea that there's no obligation to retreat if you feel threatened that a

civil rights case might be washlted. >> how unusual is it for this step in. >> this is different. either you're investigating the police department because the police did the shooting or their handling of the case. in this case it's zimmerman, so this doesn't come up that much. a round of violent storms is expected today from the southern plains through parts of the midwest. there has already been heavy rain floodinging, and in south central texas in san antonio at least one tornado touched down. it hit the small town of divine damaging dozens of homes. >> reporter: the wind and raining that continued well into the morning, there was a man who was contracted to pick up mail for the united states post office. he was parked over there. his truck ended up right here. violent storms ripped through the nation's midsection yesterday. flooding the southern plains and

punished central texas. isolated tornadoes touched down late monday night, southwest of san antonio. no injuries have been reported. but the funnel cloud spotted in divine, texas, damaged trees and property as severe thunderstorms around the region continued through the night. >> you could see the clouds spinning, form a little bit and go back up and come back down even further. >> we ran into the hallway and not even two or three minutes later the house started shaking violently, and you just heard our tin roof fly off and water started pouring in. >> reporter: further north, heavy rain and golf-ball-sized hail stranded motorists while high winds flipped tractor trailers and delayed flights at ft. worth. >> it was a loud gust and boom. it was on the cars and that was it. >> reporter: flash flooding still threatens the entire region stretching across kansas, missouri, and oklahoma

where rescue crews were called in to aid another stranded motorist. the damage is being felt all the way to minnesota where severe winds knocked out power and tore roofs off of homes in the southern part of the state. all of that is on the heels of a devastating tornado in the region stretching from nebraska to michigan. this morning the national weather service continues to issue severe storm and flood alerts. marvin hurst for "cbs this morning," divine, texas. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. britain's telegraph reports that the gunman who kill four people outside a jewish school in france may have videotaped his attacks. one witness said he had a camera around his neck. children born outside the u.s. to american citizens through in vitro are not

civic stopped at a red light. a police officer suddenly lost control of his cruiser and rear ended the honda so hard it lurched forward 250 feet. the officer had been driving more than 100 miles an hour. bell is 23 years old and will also need round-the-clock care. >> for the longest i was hoping it was just a bad dream or one day my son would just wake up out of it. >> reporter: mark moppin wasn't responding to an emergency call, didn't have on his lights or siren. he did have a record of on-the-job accidents, at least one of them involving speeding according to ft. lauderdale's "sun sentinel." it also shows many florida cops needlessly break speed laws they're supposed to enforce. >> we knew we'd find speeding. we had no idea we'd find as much of it. >> reporter: in neil one year they found 800 cops from nearly

a dozen agencies drove more than 100 mile assen hour. occasionally they got caught and sometimes caught on tape. back in december 2009 a palm beach sheriff's deputy led police on an 18-mile high-speed chase in an unmarked car. >> get out of the car. get out of the car now! >> reporter: between 2004 and 2010, 230 accidents in florida were caused by officers speeding 267891 people were killed or maimed. seven of them were cops. >> i do believe that this is an abuse that comes with the badge, and it is happening throughout the united states. >> reporter: there is no national data on police speeding but a 2011 department of transportation report shows nothing kills police more than car crashes with a 44% increase in police crash deaths since

2000. back in florida, police who cause high-speed crashes seem to get special treatment. only 12% of them were ticketed compared to 55% of other motorists involved in similar wrecks. >> in the case of mark, the police officer who ran into our son, i think the only consequences that has happened to him was he quit his job and he has the right to go be a police officer anywhere else now, and i think that somehow that's not right. >> reporter: moppin was cited for lack of due care and not wearing a seat belt. he paid court costs and lost his license for 90 days. doctors say bell will never fully recover. mark strassmann, cbs news miami. for nearly two weeks football fans have followed peyton manning's every move, wondering what city the newly released quarterback will call home.

>> it turns out we god word that denver is where he'll become a broncho. good morning. >> it's interesting. >> tell me -- >> indeed. tell me what each expect. what do the broncos expect and what does peyton expect? >> well, think the broncos expect that they have got one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the national football league. surprisingly. a lot of people thought he would go to san francisco because of the defense there, within a whisker of the super bowl last year. but i think the broncos feel like they have a missing piece of the puzzle there, irregardless of tim tebow. peyton's got a solid team around him, big play makers on defense. it was a bit of surprise though charlie. tennessee came in big. the owner offered him a livetime contract but this is supposedly a five-year, $90 million contract. pat bolland is the owner there, john fox is the coach. the big x factor here, i think,

was john elway. >> he put that decision over the top. >> i think so. he's a famed quarterback, knows what it's like to play in denver. there's a sim patco relationship they have. from the outside looking in, it was a surprise but the one thing i learned from covering the nfl with peyton for years is he's a master of detail. >> so what happens to tim tebow? >> well think tim tebow is headed to another team. he's expected to be traded. he led the team to the playoffs last year, the first time in a long time. five amazing fourth quarter comebacks for the team. but, you know there's not room for two there. >> why not? >> i just -- >> peyton -- he's the man. they don't need that kind of grag vague in denver right now. there's certainly a contingent of people who love tim tebow across the country and in den version but jacksonville is a possibility for sure.

i know bill belichick has had interest early on. >> he has a quarterback. >> he has a quarterback. but, you know bill. he finds a way to use personnel. >> why can't the broncos? that's the point. why couldn't they use peyton manning to help tebow be a better quarterback. >> you could charlie. you absolutely could. but what tim has done there for him is remarkable but this is a traction traditional organization. john fox is like let's run the football and let the nfl be what it is. tebow is a left hapded person playing a right-handed game. in denver the euphoria is off the charts. >> but did elway ever buy into tebow? >> no, i don't think the organization bought into tebow. i think josh mcdaniel the coach who drafted him bought in. john has said the right things publicly as has john forex but,

you know, this is just another chapter in tebow's life. it's not over. i think jacksonville would be nice for him. >> it is in florida. >> yeah it is in florida. the nation's security is at risk and condoleeza rice tells us why the school system is major part of that problem. stay with us. you're watching "cbs this morning."

obsession of yours? >> of course. >> do you approve? do you think peyton manning has made the right decision and what does this mean for tim tebow? >> i lived in denver. though i'm a cleveland browns fan, i think denver made a great choice. he's going to be welcoming. it's a lovely city. i'm happy for him and the city of denver. >> and should denver keep tim tebow? >> i'll leave that to john elway. he'll figure it out. >> let's turn to the education report. clearly education is important in terms of economic and national security of a country. what does this report tell us that we need to know? >> well, the report, first of all, makes the case that national security is much broader than what you can do with your military forces but, of course, even there we are falling short. we need people human potential,

people who can serve in the military in the foreign service and the intelligence service, people who can meet the challenges of cyber security and critical infrastructure protection. but we also need people who can continue american lerp and innovation creativity technology. and that means people who can continue to take the jobs that will make us globally competitive. and, of course, the united states of america, we as americans are held together by the belief it doesn't matter where you came from. it matters where you're going. and education is the key to social mobility that and are we falling behind? >> as a country, we have to have that. yes, we are falling behind. american kids are falling behind their peers in any number of ways. but the most important thing is we need to educate our people for the challenges of the 21st century and our schools unfortunately are not doing that. >> what's necessary to make them do that? >> well we believe there are

really three ways we can do this. there are three recommendations in this report. first of all that we adopt something that the governors have been working on at the state level, which is the common core, which is the set of skills that would be standard skills across the country. secondly, we believe very strongly that parents have to have choices for their kids, particularly poor parents cannot afford to leave their kids trapped in failing schools. they need better options. and finally we should make certain that we audit with the governors, the federal government the progress that we're making on the skills, everything from math science, and foreign languages, to good reading skills so that we're sure we're meeting the demands of the 21st century. >> can i turn to policy? there's a lead in "the new york times." perils of strikes at iran.

predictions of american casualties and wider conflict in the region. does that mean we'd better move very, very slow before we attack iran as they approach whatever nuclear kacapacity they have? >> well certainly, chargely, everybody understands that the use of military force comes with a lot of risk and a lot of consequences. of course, the consequence of iran with nuclear weapons in the middle east also has to be factored into this equation and i believe that president obama is correct on this and president bush before him. we cannot afford to let iran have a nuclear weapon. so the diplomacy has got to work and it's got to work quickly and sanctions need to be tightened and hopefully they make good choices. it will unsettle the middle east tremendously. >> so sanctions do not work in thend and i rehab is close to

nuclear capacity then military action should take place. >> well, the president has got to keep a nuclear -- an option on the table, military option on the table to stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon and it has to be a rail military option and the iranians have to believe he will use it. >> madam secretary, real quickly on afghanistan and what we're seeing in the wake of this horrific shooting house does the u.s. repair its relationships with afghanistan at this point? >> we have to remind ourselves and the people of afghanistan what it was like when the taliban were ruling. it was a place where women were executed for minor violations of the harshest of laws. even though afghanistan is a tough place, they've made some progress, they've had elections, we're help them build security forces that i believe will be reliable in the end and will prevent the return of the taliban to power and we just have to remember what

afghanistan was like ten years ago when it was so lawless that al qaeda attacked the united states from that territory. >> so you're saying to focus on the gains that have been made. >> yes. focus on the gains and remember that an afghanistan in which the taliban would then have a role would be a danger to us but most importantly a danger to the afghan people. we've achieved a lot and we need to make sure we finish the job. >> finish the job means simply adhering to the president's withdrawal schedule? >> finish the job means that nato has laid out a timeline. i probably wouldn't have laid one out. we have one for 2014. now let's train the afghan military forces, help the afghan people with governance and try and keep our nerve and keep moving forward because we the cannot afford to leave afghanistan to the taliban and

the terrorists. >> former secretary of state good morning, once again, everybody, starting out with first warning weather doppler radar weather radar, most of the thunder and showers moving off to the south but they are still out there, otherwise we have fog and it is warm, 61 degrees is where we are starting off the day, unbelievable. we are heaving heading back up into the 70s on the first day of spring and continue this through the end of the tax return scams are on the rise. john miller is here to show you how to avoid getting ripped off. you're watching "cbs this morning."

can i erica? >> yes. >> i'm completely with you guys. we can set our friendship privacy levels on there to keep it private but if you have to give up your password, what's the point. >> can they legally ask you do that? that's what i'm saying? >> no. so, for example, the maryland department of corrections, they were asking for the password for perspective employees, and they were looking for gang signs, for example. so they had a reason that they thought was a good enough reason. i don't think it is. when they were told they can't do it, they do shoulder surfing and watch over the shoulder of the applicant. you can't say it's voluntary. you want the job really bad. of course, you're going to do things they ask of you, but, no it's not okay. >> but if i'm applying for the job and they say, look it's going to be held against you, i would think it's going be held

against me if i don't turn it over. you have to say -- suck it up and say, i'm going to do it? or how about this jeff? how about if you do it and change the password after you get the job? >> i would say that. you should do that because the person can access that. >> but legally they can't ask, that's the main thing. >> that's right. >> if you were to give up your access or password, it really sets up a precedent in terms of the relationship you would have with your employer. >> absolutely. it would have a chilling effect because if you realize your employer or some other authority is going to be monitoring your social media, you're going to be really careful. >> what's leading to it. >> why is it okay? >> i think because it's new. it's tempting. here's a new way we can find out information about our employees. but just because it's social media doesn't mean they can access it. >> right. there's an issue that came up in my own family.

all of a sudden on my facebook page, things will pop up have you talked with steve lately? there's been some push to make this part of an estate? >> that's right. there's a new law coming out where they're trying to make this part of a digital effects or part of your estate. and we've done some research on this. what's happening with the profiles of people that have passed away. it's really fascinating. we've seen people sharing stories about loved one who have passed or talking direct will i to the person who passed away as if they were there. this is called front stage grieving or public grieving. >> wasn't that very upsetting to the family. >> it was very nice to see things. but then you see reminders. you haven't talked to steve in a while. i mean my mom took it down.

and i'm very excited for everybody to sight. it's sort of sitting there in a vault somewhere. >> you don't want to tell us what they do but you want to tell us about this season. >> i think that -- well, i'm hoping we have -- we have a two-hour premiere, so i'm hoping that the wait will be worth it. >> did you do two hours for purpose? you left us hang. does he get married? is there a baby? there's so many questions. i can't wait to see. >> that's kind of the fun about the show. >> is that why there's two hours because you're going to answer a lot of questions in the two hours? >> i think it sort of advanced. my feeling was we're off the air for 17 months and i don't want the fans to thing we took that licely and i wanted to give the fan as big dose of the show so they can get into it right away and a lot of things do get answered. even though the characters are the same, we start a new story ever season. the premiere always feels like

you love it. >> i can't -- you know honestly it's like a "star trek" thing for me. i'm writing a fictional thing about this period. graphically, historically, whatever. we took the show and we're like a prop in the past. it's an incredible thing. we haven't changed. >> you understand it better than anybody. why is it such a phenomenal success? is it the character? is it the time? is it something that you understand that we don't? >> i don't know why, and i'm not going to question it at this point. >> right. >> i do know one thing is that i think that the show happens on a human scale, and the problems that these people have are the same problems you actually have. their lives are more exciting. no one's life is as exciting obviously, but the problems are on the scale. there's no explosions, no shooting whatever. and based on that the behavior,

bad and good, is not judged. >> there's always somebody -- matthew, sorry for cutting you off -- that wi can relatewe can relate to. i struggle with him. i like him, don't like him. but you have said everybody wants to be don draper. what d us that mean? what does that mean? >> i think there's something about how -- i mean there's a lot of things about don draper they don't want. you don't want to live with another identity or live in the feeling of a lie. he's always on the verge of getting in trouble which is a horrible way to lifb, but he has so much power and he's so handsome and so -- that's why i say people love about the show. it admits we are more than one person. you come here, come on tv see one person and when the camera drops you're another person and you get in the car, you're another person and you get on the phone with your kid, you're another person. i get to exploit that drawmatic

dramatically dramatically. it's not as boring as real life but you get to sort of -- your allegiances change and you get to experience the complexity of why you do -- i don't want to be followed around all day. there are things i do that have dramatic but i behave badly almost all the time. >> i think gayle is the same off camera as she is on camera. >> i was going to say that about you. i think the same of you. >> think you guys are completely full of it. >> no, i don't. i don't. >> i want to be a waiter and see if you're the same person for me as you are when you're on here. >> do that. test it. >> okay. >> in your mind, draper was who? not a specific person, but this character for you to be compelling at the beginning of this successful series had to be what? >> i wanted to be someone that

was not -- this is someone who's not spilling their anxiety to people, who is not -- >> cool and calm. >> whatever that is boiling under there, i'm not saying that's good for them strong and silent type does not mean there's nothing going on there, but there's no bartender, no psychiatrist, no one he shares things with other than strangers. >> why would it be better set in the '60s instead of 2012? >> i think there's a little bit about the rules that were then, social rules. >> less rules or more rigid rules? >> more rigid rules, more defined behavior. don says it's not polite to talk about yourself. >> you keep secrets. >> and there's manners. of course, they're break them all the time. and part of the story is they're the same no gnatter what it is but the same kind of social strata for me. it's like jane austin or something.

you get to have something to play off. >> it was an interesting time for america. was it also a golden age for advertising? >> according to them it was. the history of advertising, they deemed it as the creative revolution, and i think there was more diversity in -- as the 60s went on. italians and jews and people were not just represented in ads, but also were starting to write the copy and the subversive nature of the american public humor and so forth -- >> i'm not going to let you go without this. this will be the mean side of me. you're going tell me something that will happen in this series that will surprise me otherwise terrible things will happen to you. >> he's going have to kill you, charlie. >> i think it's like real life. you don't know what's going to happen. >> give me one relationship. >> i don't know what to tell you. >> he's not telling. >> this is what i think, matt. i think it's good to be you right now.
