welcome to "cbs this morning." many people associated with penn state university holding their breath this morning. former fbi director louis freeh is releeszing the results of his investigation into the jerry sandusky sex abuse case. >> some people connected to the case are putting their spin. armen keteyian is there where the results will be released. >> good morning lee and erica. the freeh report was commissioned by penn state board of trustees in the wake of the sandusky sex scandal. its mission. to answer the question who knew what when? from the moment the sex scandal broke back in november the spec tremendous of a cover-up by high ranking university officials hung over happy valley like a shroud. in response the board of trustees hired freeh. the former federal judge who promised to conduct a thorough fair and comprehensive investigation without fear or

favor. to that end, investigators interviewed more than 400 people uncovering e-mails that appear to raise questions about four former penn state officials. president graham spanier, athletic director tim curley vice president gary schultz and legendary football coach, joe paterno. specifically, the decision not to report sandusky to authorities in 1998 and 2001. curley and schultz have subsequently been charged with lying to a grand jury. spanier remains under scrutiny. all have denied any wrongdoing. more than anyone paterno's legacy hangs in the balance. he died in january of lung cancer at 85. on tuesday, his family issued a lengthy statement disputing recent reports suggesting paterno may have tried to protect sandusky. it said in part joe paterno did not know that jerry sandusky was a pedophile. joe paterno did not act in any way to prevent a proper investigation of jerry sandusky. yesterday, another document

surfaced, a future op-ed piece column written by paterno less than a month before his death in which the iconic coach draws a very large line in the sandusky scandal. i feel comelled to say that this is not a football scandal. this is one of the best academic performing football programs in major college athletics. those are the facts and nothing that has been alleged changes them. >> the board has already acted on five of freeh's initial recommendations including doing background checks on employees. but the big news obviously will come at 9:00 today when the board of trustees gets the freeh report about the same time we do. >> cbs new legal analyst jack ford is with us now. jack, this is not -- these are not legal findings not a criminal investigation but it still stands to have a major impact. what do you see it being? >> it is important. you have to realize, as you said, it's not a legal document.

it has no force of law behind it. it's not an indictment. some states allow grand juries to offer up what are often called presentations, which can be criticisms of government entities or individuals. it's none of that. it's essentially a private individual doing an exhaustive investigation, as we heard from armen and saying here's what went wrong and here are things. what it is really is a roadmap. it's going to allow penn state and anyone else interested including the victims and their lawyers to find out who did what and who knew what when and who didn't do certain things. but it's going to give penn state a roadmap to say here's what you need to do to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> who do they go after? the university and joe paterno's estate. >> lee, some of these potential lawsuits are easy. jerry sandusky now has been convicted. that conviction stands on appeal, that's not a hard lawsuit to do. but you're going to see them try to bring in such as penn state

officials, perhaps the president, perhaps joe paterno even. what's interesting here is that when you're suing a state agency, that's what penn state is, part of the commonwealth of pennsylvania, it's not as simple as you and me suing each other. there are restrictions as to when you can sue state agencies and what circumstances. it goes back to the days in england, that the king could do no wrong. it used to be you couldn't sue them. now you can under certain circumstances. this is going to be very very complicated here in terms of who might be liable other than jerry sandusky and under what circumstances. i said to somebody before it's going to read like a law school final exam trying to sort through all of this. >> which is why we turn to you, jack, to understand it. in terms of this roadmap it could put out for us could that lead to any criminal charges? >> everyone has said that's still open. the possibility of criminal charges are still open if more victims show up for instance. complications if other people show up that didn't do what they were supposed to do.

everybody has looked at this so careful, you probably nothing new out there. but it has the potential if something new comes up. >> jack, nice to see you. thanks. there is new information this morning on congressman jesse jackson jr.'s health. weeks after he began a leave of absence for an undisclosed medical condition. >> the latest news could raise more questions than answers. nancy, good morning. >> good morning, lee and erica. it was a combination of wild rumors and some pressure from democratic leaders that led jackson's office last night to put out a few new details. they said jackson is not in rehab for a drug or alcohol addiction but that he is suffering from a mood disorder. >> in a sense, we've come to our nation's capitol -- >> it's been more than a month since nine-term congressman, jesse jackson, jr., left capitol hill under a cloud of mystery. last night, jackson's office released a statement from an unnamed doctor saying the

illinois democrat is receiving intensive medical treatment at a residential treatment facility for a mood disorder. the statement was the latest in a series of shifting explanations. in late june jackson's staff said the 47-year-old congressman was suffering from exhaustion. then last week they announced he had physical and emotional ailments. though they didn't go into details. the term mood disorder can apply to anything from depression to bipolar disorder. according to dr. mark pollack. >> the severity associated with both of these conditions runs the gamut from people who have relatively mild levels of distress all the way through people with profound mood disturbance. >> jackson has been facing an ongoing house ethics investigation into allegations that he tried to influence former illinois governor rod blagojevich to appoint him to president obama's vacant senate seat. democratic leaders have been split about what jackson should

say about his absence and when. maryland's steny hoyer says the congressman owes chicago voters an explanation. >> i think congressman jackson and his office and his family would be well-advised to advise the constituents of his condition. he's obviously facing a health problem. >> but house minority leader, nancy pelosi called for patience. >> the time is right when congressman jackson has an evaluation of what his situation is and i'm sure then he will share it with his constituents. >> jackson's father the reverend jesse jackson, has said questions about his son's health are inappropriate right now. last night, jackson's older sister asked everyone to respect her brother's privacy. >> i think that what we have do is dial everything back and just give him the grace of space so that he can get well. >> in the statement that jackson's office put out last night, that unnamed doctor said he is responding to treatment and is expected to make a full

recovery. jackson's father has said that jackson will say what he's been recovering from when the time is right. lee and erica? >> nancy, thank you. mitt romney expected to be booed at the naacp convention in houston on wednesday. >> jan crawford was there to hear romney's speech and that response from the oldest civil rights organization in the world. good morning, jan. >> good morning, lee and erica. romney took his message straight to the president's most loyal supporters and this is a group he really has next to no chance of winning. but he did not back down and i got to tell you, the crowd didn't like it. >> if you want a president who will make things better in the african-american community, you are looking at him. you take a look. >> at first, the applause was polite. but when romney said he would repeal the president's signature achievement, health care reform the crowd and the mood turned on him.

>> i'm going to eliminate every nonessential expensive program i can find. that includes obama care and i'm going to work to reform and save -- [ boo'ing ] >> the president's support among african-americans remains rock solid. in 2008 he got 95% of the vote. and in a recent poll 87% of african-americans said they approve of the job he's doing compared to 45% of all americans. but some democrats are worried that the president's base is less motivated to turn out this year. the president has also frustrated some black leaders, like with this response to congressional black caucus leaders worried about high unemployment. >> kick off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes, shake it off. stop complaining. stop grumbling. stop crying. we are going to press on. we've got work to do. >> unemployment in the black community is now at 14.4%.

well above the national average of 8.2%. and romney argued to the naacp that the president's policies have hurt african-americans. but romney's challenges are steep as there's a diversity problem -- he visited a charter school in west philadelphia. most of his outreach is focused on hispanics. nonetheless, romney sounds optimistic he could chip away at the president's base. >> i do actually. i spoke with a number of african-american leaders after the event and they said you know a lot of folks don't want to say they're not going to be voting for barack obama. >> now, president obama will not be speaking to the naacp convention this year. instead, he sent vice president biden. so even though there are some in the group who may be disappointed the president won't be here, you can be sure that the vice president will get a much more enthusiastic response than we saw yesterday for governor romney. >> jan crawford thanks. a programming note. charlie rose will sit down with

an interview with the president and first lady. we'll have highlights starting this evening. the interview itself will air on cbs sunday morning this weekend and on this broadcast monday morning. in syria this morning, the ruling regime lost another high-profile official. the country's ambassador of iraq defected. government troops are bombarding a district in the capital of damascus. >> syrian activists are reporting that regime forces are shelling just on the outskirts of damascus. it's impossible for us to confirm these reports at the moment. if they are true it would be a significant development because damascus really is the heart of the assad regime's power base. in other news the opposition got a big boost yesterday in the form of a major diplomatic defection. the syrian ambassador to iraq announced in a facebook message that he had left the regime and would be joining the opposition

and he called on the military to stop shooting its civilians and instead to point their guns at criminals within the assad regime. so far, the syrian regime has responded only by saying that alpha rez has officially been relieved of his duties. i'm clarissa ward in turkey. this morning the fbi is doing the largest review of cases in its history. the bureau and the justice department are looking at some 18,000 convictions since 1985 that relied on harrah analysis by the fbi laboratory. >> some convictions have been overturned because of the review. >> former fbi assistant director is with us this morning. >> this has a little history to it. it starts way back in the '90s where fred whitehurst an fbi lab technician made allegations against another technician that they were going too far in their

testimony beyond what the science could prove on things like hair and fiber analysis. that caused an inspector general's report. beyond that, there was a science developed in the fbi lab tracing the characteristics of bullet lead. they said they could trace it back to kind of like bullet dna, they could trace it back to the box of ammunition it came from if it was found in the suspect's home which turned out to be completely flawed. so this is where it gets really unusual. what they used to do is issue a press release that they have findings of deficiencies and defense lawyers would be expected to find that. in this case they've partnered with the innocence project and others who find wrongly convicted people. they do a big review of the cases. they're reaching out to the prosecutors and saying here's a case where we may have either testified beyond what the science could support or gone beyond the fbi guide lines on what an expert can say.

>> it seems like there's acknowledgment that mistakes were made in the past. the question is, i guess, how many. >> that's the key. probably not 18,000. that's going to be very unlikely. they've decided to look at every case where the fbi has ever testified about hair analysis and to see if that testimony was within the bounds. now, a key thing is the criteria. what they're going to look at is any case that involved hair did they provide a written report an analysis that they gave to the prosecutors that the defense may have stip laftulated to. did an agent testify offering his or her own expertise. but the key here is if that was the case where the suspect was standing there with the smoking gun, there was a videotape of the murder and four eyewitnesses, it's probably not significant that the hair analysis was thrown in. what they're looking at is the cases where it had a real effect on the jury. >> then they'll go back and see. fascinating stuff, john. thanks. time for a look now at some

place. >> was this painful? >> yes, sir. >> that was painful. >> what options did you have? >> to scream for help. >> i heard him. he called out to me. >> jeremy's best friend dan grasso. >> he diagnosed the situation right away. i can't put any weight on my ankle. we're going to have to get a helicopter to get me. there's no way i can make it back down the trail. >> just then a group of campers came by. >> one of the hikers said my buddy broke his ankle. >> one camper was free school teacher beth fitch. her group had a cb radio. >> we made touch with the base camp and they replayed the call for the helicopter evac. >> jeremy and virgil waited to be evacuated. >> the california highway patrol chopper circled several times before landing safely on a flat granite rock. paramedic tony stanley got out of the helicopter, took off his helmet, put on his vest and prepared to climb up the slope towards kilburn and grasso.

no one knows how it happened whether the uneven ground or the lowering of the rotor blades as the helicopter powered down. but suddenly he was struck in the head by a rotor blade. >> he was hit in the back of the head by a rotor blade. >> he comes running up the hill and tells me dude this guy got hit in the head. i think he might be dead. my brain caught on fire. you know i just wanted to be down there. and do what i could to save his life. >> jeremy was coming down the hill with his friend dan like as fast as he could with his broken ankle. >> do you remember feeling any pain? >> no, sir. no. i just remember wanting to get there. >> he found one of the campers applying pressure to stop the bleeding. >> the whole top in this area was just completely flattened. >> like the bleed came across

the top of his head. >> yes. >> jeremy said bethy need you in here now. i said okay. >> so you're taking charge here? >> yes, sir. >> are you thinking about yourself at all? >> no, sir. >> he said this is your job, this is your job, this is what we're going to do. everyone going to be fine. yet, trying to position his ankle so that he wasn't in excruciating pain which he was. >> together they stabilized officer stanley and as beth held his head the pilot flew the trio to this hospital in redding, california. officer stanley remains in the icu. he's alive today thanks to jeremy, beth the pilot and the other campers. >> do you feel like a hero? >> not even in the slightest. >> there wasn't much action on my part. >> i think you're too modest. >> never been accused of that before. but in this situation, you'll have to take my word for it. >> he says don't call him a hero. just call him an air force doctor. for "cbs this morning," bill whitaker in las vegas. >> amazing.

radioactive dye and it lights up these areas where there's a.m. lloyd. it lights up in red. that's the gooey substance that can muck up the brain so the mun indication between the brain cells. >> the plaques? >> the plaques, right. it causes -- the theory is that it causes alzheimer's. but that's not proven. >> if you have the test and it shows up then what happens? >> until these tests, you had to diagnose a.m. lloyd at autopsy. if you don't have it you don't have alzheimer's. the big question is what does it mean if you have it? there's a big test co-led by a doctor at duke saying we're going to follow people who are normal or problems with memory. we're going to give them the scans and follow them over 18 months, 36 months see what happens. it turns out, if they lit up they had a higher chance of going on to alzheimer's. what was really interesting or as interesting is that people who came in with a diagnosis of

alzheimer's, a third of them had negative scans. so it was the wrong diagnosis. >> so it's not definitive? but it gives you a better indication. why, if there is that chance, why would you want to have it done? >> why would you -- right. for one thing, we followed a man, the first person in new york state to get this test. and he came in he thought 80 years old, thought he had alzheimer's. he had all of the signs and symptoms, okay. he was starting to wind down his life. he had the test and it turned out it was negative. a doctor out of mount sinaiment he's really changing his plans. it turns out he has something else. there are lots of other things that can cause dementia other than alzheimer's. about a 1/3 is because of tiny strokes in the head. you can have thyroid or low b-12. if it's a positive scan we're really not sure yet exactly what it means because 20 to 30% of normal seemingly normal people over the age of 65 do light up

positive for the scan. now, right now it's been very disappointing in terms of the trials of medications to treat alzheimer's, as we all know. devastating disease. >> what does that do to that? because if there is in sort of predictor, at least a sense of what we're doing, does that give us at least -- >> to me it totally changes the way we're going to approach it. right now, a lot of the medicines that these are the antibodies that sop up the a.m. lloyd. they're given to people who already have alzheimer's disease and they've been disappointing. now the attention is saying let's go -- it turns out the other studies show maybe 10 20 even more years before you actually get the disease, you start to get the plaque. so the obvious question is why don't we give some of these medicines, rather than waiting to the end, give it prevent tifl. think about heart disease, if you wait until somebody has five heart attacks and then give them lipitor. let's give it earlier. >> fascinating stuff.

finale of mash. while the latter remains the highest rated program of all-time. in this survey, the highest ratings wintent to a different kind of programming. >> among the images that flickered over our television screens, none has had a greater impact than this. men and women of all ages agreed. it was the attack on the world trade center on september 11 2001. >> it collapsed. the top floors collapsed down. >> the new survey asked viewers not just whether they watched the events or programs but if they could recall where they had seen them and had talked about them with others. rounding out the top five were coverage of hurricane katrina in 2005. >> not guilty of the crime of murder. >> the verdict in the o.j. simpson trial in 1995. >> the 1986 explosion of the space shuttle challenger and the death of osama bin laden last

year. >> some cultural milestones made the list. >> ladies and gentlemen, the beatles! >> the beatles appearance on the ed sullivan show in 1964 came in at number 43. >> the tv images with the most enduring i am pack though were usually news events and the importance viewers gave them often differed sharply by age and gender. women, for example, ranked the funeral of princess diana as the fourth most memorable. among men, it placed only 23rd. >> president kennedy died at -- >> among people's 55 and over the assassination of john f. kennedy was the second most memorable moment. >> for those between 18 and 34, it was the death of bin laden. for younger viewers, the landing on the moon in 1969 was distant history. overall, it ranked 21st. the internet and social media may have redefined the delivery of news but television remains

the window through which we view history. >> overall, 19 of the top 20 most memorable tv moments were news events. they tended to have the greatest impact across all generations. >> that's the most interesting. probably for people that did the study too. the final episode of mash or seinfeld. >> i think they went in doing the study, that's what they thought would come out at the top of the list. those are the shows with the biggest numbers. >> all we talk about. >> when they looked at it who shot j.r. episode of dallas and the last episode of mash which were so iconic at the time ranked down in the 40s. it was these news events that really -- they're searing events in the end and they're the things that stuck with people and had the most impact. >> and also i wonder if that's in part too because you continue to talk about those events for so long afterwards. if that has an impact. >> you remember where you were when. >> precisely. who doesn't remember where they were when john f. kennedy was

welcome back at 8:00 to "cbs this morning." i'm erica hill. gayle king is off today. i'm lee cowan. charlie rose is on assignment and he's going to be sorry he missed today. it was 50 years today that one of the most famous rock'n'roll bands took the stage. >> starting as a blues band the rolling stones rode a wave of success and yes, satisfaction that continues to this day. mark phillips is in london. mark, good morning. >> good morning, erica. well, i'm here in central london which is london's main shopping drag. this building behind me which is now a bank was a music club at one point. a club where 50 years ago a band played its first gig.

that band was, yes, the rolling stones. if you ask mick jagger to sum up the stones first half century. he does it in six words and here they are. >> yeah. it was pretty good ride. ♪ >> the most famous opening guitar riff in rock'n'roll history is as good a place as any to look at arguably it's most enduring bands. >> i can't get no satisfaction ♪ >> the rolling stones have been doing the same thing the same way for 50 years. of course, it's ironic. the rolling stones may be the most self-satisfied band of all-time. why change it if it works? just watch mick jagger over the years. ♪

♪ >> boy, did they try and boy, did they succeed. a photo exhibition has been assembled detailing their first half century from the time they were just another british band playing american rhythm and blues. this one takes its name from an old muddy waters song. but this band had something the others didn't. in fact it had several somethings. >> a combination of good luck and extremely good management probably in about equal proportion. a lot of it is down to basic dumb luck. being able to keep a core group of people alive and together. >> the alive part may be the most significant. the stones lived lives or so we were told of spectacular excess. the models of rock'n'roll

self-abuse. no one more than keith richards whose survival of half a lifetime of substance abuse is an anomaly of medical science, although he's philosophical about it now. >> you can't describe your own wildness. after all, you're a bunch of guys that are just thrown into the deep end and everybody is saying, you know -- nobody else knew what to do. nobody had been through situations like this. so you had to make the whole thing up as you went along. it was fun. >> not all of them survived. brian jones, an original member died soon after being kicked out of the band in 1969. but they were a triumph of counter marketing. the bad boys to the beatles mop top goodie goodies. it wasn't an accident. >> in those days the press portrayed was actually in our world now quite tame. but for those days people were easily shocked. >> and while the stones consumed

whatever they consumed the public consumed their music. 22 original studio albums too many compilations and live tour a.m. bums and too many markets to count. they haven't just been a band. they've been an industry. >> the rolling stones are a -- they're a brand and they're a logo. they're like coca-cola. they're like lego. like any sort of successful, universally recognizable brand. they established this thing that they do. they've deviated from it very very little and they've carried on delivering it reliably. that's what they do. >> what they do is promote. if you're going to launch a tour called bridges to babylon, do it in a '57 cadillac on the brooklyn bridge driving into the babylon of manhattan. it's bound to attract a crowd asking the question that's been asked over and over. is this going to be your last

tour? yeah, this and the next five. ♪ >> yet all the promotion in the world won't work if you haven't got the product to sell. the stones have had that rare combination of critical and commercial success. some have said their best work came in the first, not the second 25 years. but who is counting? the oldies are still the goodies. that's why they were inducted into the rock'n'roll hall of fame in 1989. >> you know, it's slightly ironic that tonight you see us on our best behavior. but we're being rewarded for 25 years of bad behavior. there's also a bit of music on the side. >> there was also a little animosity on the side. along with jagger keith richards was the band's other creative force yet the two had a well-publicized falling out.

>> set himself a separate agenda. it didn't include any of us. and writing on the stones fame to do it. i thought it was a cheap shot. >> when richards accused mick of selling out for accepting a knighthood jagger had a cheap shot of his own. >> it's like a bawling child that hasn't gotten ice cream. >> still, the two manage to keep their professional relationship and so the band intact. >> the rolling stones we have a lot to -- any internal group of people always have varying relationships with each other. so the dynamic changes. >> my job is to turn mick on. if i can turn mick on and mick can turn the world on. >> and so still apparently can

the rolling stones. ♪ >> so the rolling stones are 50 and we're told they've been practicing again. they can still do it and they may well perform again this fall. but think about it. mick jagger is 67. keith richards is 69. charlie watts, 71. ronnie woods is 65. if ever a band epitomized sex, drugs and rock'n'roll lifestyle, it was the rolling stones and apparently we still have rock'n'roll. >> mark, thank you. great piece. you know as they keep evolving, they're on twitter of course. so the rolling stones they tweeted out a new picture yesterday in advance of a celebration. >> as mark said they're all in their late 60s, early 70s. but they still look hip. they don't look like they're trying to dress too young. >> they put on a show honestly like no other show. i mean if you see anything of the recent tours, when they're

up on the stage, when mick jagger is on that stage, the man never stops moving. it's incredible. >> like mark said it hasn't changed. he still has the same amount of energy and enthusiasm. it's pretty amazing to keep it i got to agree i've seen the stones like six times now. it's not a bad thing. sunshine in the area and notice how clear the shot is not a lot of haze, not a lot of humidity. the forecast is going to call for a pretty comfortable partly sunny high of 90. tonight still going to be pretty comfortable. 66 your over night low. tomorrow a bit more humid partly sunny 9 the high. hotter -- here's a little something you could toast. more women are getting into winemaking. lee woodruff shows us how they're bringing their own flavor to the industry. that's ahead on "cbs this morning."

san francisco for you this morning. that's because we're heading just a bit north of the bay. a verse in the bible says wine

makes glad the heart of man. you're about to meet a group women making their way in the male-dominated wine industry. >> lee woodruff has the story of a ceo who found her second act in life in a vineyard. >> so this is called -- >> what i'm starting to do is show this. >> come to california's napa valley and you're bound to see this. wine enthusiasts gathering to sip, sample and learn about the region's various vicinityages. >> specifically from the rutherford bench. >> on this night, it wasn't so much about the wines as it was about the women behind them. >> the event is the brainchild of deborah brenner. >> our whole thing is to sustain a farm. >> who walked away from a job as a marketing executive and into a world she knew very little about. so why wine? how did you get interested in this industry? >> what happened was i came out

to napa to explore it. to see if i actually could do something? the wine industry and all of a sudden, i'm meeting these women that were incredibly resilient and hopeful, passionate for what they were doing and they were working for the toughest boss in the world because they worked for mother nature. >> her desire to spend more time outdoors coupled with the passion for wine led her to california. she spent months meeting women of the wine world and in 2006 published a book aptly titled, women of the vine. a year later, she turned the book into a bottle to create a wine company of the same name. california grape grower kim ledbetter farms the land. >> i'm thinking i'd like about -- >> allison crowe makes the wine. >> these are our main line of wines. >> and deborah, drawing on her marketing experience -- >> a nice letter from hillary clinton. >> acts as the company's

traveling salesperson. >> these are going to open up and start flowering very soon. >> together, they're hoping to make a statement in a traditionally male-dominated industry. >> the name women in the vine on purpose, it's not brenner family vineyards or anything. it's not about that. it's plural. it's about all of the women breaking the glass ceiling in the industry. >> that collaborative spirit is what drew allison crowe to women of the vine. >> was there something that seemed like it would be more fun to be in a group of women winemakers? >> when women get together, there's more collaboration and less ego involved. i think that can be a good thing when you're trying to get smart business decisions made. >> our approach is that we grow the best grapes we can. >> deborah's leadership efforts have drawn the attention of women outside the world of wine. in 2009 she received a letter from secretary of state hillary clinton thanking her for empowering women to follow their

passion. as further recognition, women of the vine wines were featured on the menu of a 2009 dinner hosted by the secretary of state honoring female senators. >> this is not cabernet. >> that's right. this is the chardonnay vine. you're getting good. >> deborah admits she still has a lot to learn about her second act. >> this is a really fun group of women winemakers and we're all here kind of sharing what we do with lots of people that are coming by to taste our wines today. >> but the support this napa valley newcomer is receiving from other women in the industry is helping her discover the one thing she sought when she began this journey. >> a lot of us are seeking balance and how to put it all together. that's the one thing i love when i'm out here and i'm blending and tasting with our winemaker is everything we talk about is balance. it's kind of interesting how balance keeps coming up in my life. that was the most important thing i was seeking. i do love what i'm doing and i feel like i have much more of a

purpose. most importantly, the camaraderie of women around me and supporting what we're doing, that gives me the courage t keep doing everything that i'm doing. >> lee woodruff is here with us now. yes, it all sounds rohan particular. it's really hard work. how successful is she sm. >> it is farming. in the end of the day, it's weather, it's grapes it's knowledge and a lot of things out of your control. she's not making the six figures that she was making in marketing. but she's so much happier doing what she's doing and following her passion. >> paid off in lifestyle. >> paid off in lifestyle. for her second act, that's what she want today achieve. >> it's lovely to see it coming together like that. she wants to expand you said too. >> she wants to expand. she's about to get all 50 states for distribution. it's a really big deal. 10,000 bottles of wine. they're about $18 a bottle her wine. it's good. we got to sample it.

♪ ♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning." the enchanting unusual broadway musical "once" took home eight tony awards last month, including best musical. >> oscar independent film in 1996. tells the story of an irish musician and immigrant drawn together by love of music. >> the show's gifted star, steve kazee and cristin milioti are here.

>> great to have you here. full disclosure, anybody associated with this show i became obsessed after seeing it. this is a lot of people feel go in not knowing what to expect and walk out of your theater transformed. what is it about this show, steve, do you think that draws people in so much? >> well i always say that it's a universal theme in our show which is just love. it's about love of country, love of music, love of each other, love of your fellow human beings. i was actually having this conversation with someone recent recently recently. from the minute we're conceived, our whole existence is about searching for love. the person who is nurturing you in the womb the person who loves you the instant you're born and you begin searching for your own love and it lasts forever. i think there's a universal thread for that. >> the interesting thing when you talk about this too, cristin, but you barely touch through the whole thing. why is that? >> it's very lifelike the

story. you meet these people in your life and it's not meant to work out. they change you for the better. sometimes the strongest love can be someone that you never touch. it makes it much more powerful. >> it's better that it's not a hollywood happy ending. >> that's been appeal of the show. people, it leaves it up to you to sort of have an emotion for yourself. we don't force feed you an ending. people really respond to that. it's fresh. >> and it's not in that same convenient vain, it's not a typical musical. you expect broadway numbers and costumes. it's not that way. but that, too, is refreshing. >> i think it's a play with music. or i feel like it's more of a play with music. it's about music. we're never like and now a song. it's always like we're -- we're in the scene. we're going to sing a song now, great. and we start. i think that makes it more accessible for people who may not find like big flashy numbers as accessible.

>> despite all the auk ses, you said even after the tonys and everything, you said you're still not sure this is what you want to do the rest of your life. why is that? >> i think it's a healthy way to be. i think that it's just a good idea to wake up every morning and go is this really what i want to do today? i think that way you never get tired of what you're doing. it's never -- it never becomes sort of a daily routine. i often think about like going back to school and getting my astrophysics degree and moving to montana and looking at the stars. i could be so happy doing that. right now, i'm happy doing what i'm doing. it's good. >> i don't have any other skills. >> you can learn this. you play piano. for people watching the show the cast is really the orchestra. a lot of you learned how to play instruments. you didn't know how to play the piano. >> i almost didn't get the part. >> now i can play four songs

really well. >> are you saying you're unteachable? >> yeah. >> how do you become -- >> how do you come back from that? i had a friend teach me and i worked seven hours a day for ten days to the point where i could go into the room and be like i can kind of play this. you give me more time. they could see that. but it was actually -- anyone can do that. you just have to have a lot of time. >> you could. i guarantee you could. >> your tony acceptance speech was good. you lost your mom not long ago. >> i'm the son of kathy kazee who lost a fight with cancer on easter sunday this year. i miss you every day. i feel you here with me tonight. and i love you all so much and thank you for this award. thank you. >> obviously, your mom quite a woman. raised quite a son. >> yeah. >> you talked about how the family you developed at "once"

helped you in dealing with your mom's death. >> there's no question about it. i was not a well human being after all of that. especially because it had been something that lasted for so long and she had been sick for a very long time and had terminal cancer for four years. she was a fighter. there was no give up in her. unfortunately, as a family member and someone as close to her, you suffer for the entire time that's going on as well. when it was all said and done i just sort of started to unravel and i meant exactly what i said that night. it wasn't in that clip. i wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for cristin, if it wasn't for the cast and the crew at the jacobs. whenever i was at milo he's points, they didn't quit and give up and stuck under me and lifted me up. i'm thankful every day for this group of people. i don't know what i would do without them. >> cristin, you're going to be starring opposite leonardo

dicaprio? >> yeah. >> how do you go from the stage to a movie? is it terrifying? is it a whole different thing? >> i think it is a whole different thing. i'm very excited. there's also an element of terror because you do a show for so long but it becomes like second nature. >> totally. >> we could do this show. it is second nature. it's like breathing. when you're thrown into something like film which is like, and then this is the scene where you lose your dog. go. and you're like okay. sometimes there's not the ample time to rehearse or anything like that. that can be a little terrifying. leonardo dicaprio and martin scorsese, two people i've admired and i'm beside myself that i get to work with them. >> congratulations to the both of you. it's such an amazing show. like erica said i didn't know what to expect. i was pleasantly surprised. >> thank you so much. >> continued success to both of you guys. >> thank you for having us.

it was co-authored by this man. >> thank you, charlie s. >> what happened so far? >> it's good you said so far, obviously this drama is not over. something has to break in the next year or so. the israelis say and u.s. intelligence says that iran is still enriching uranium. so far israeli intelligence led by the mossad the foreign operations agency engaged in sabotage and assassinations inside iran. they don't deny it. of course, they don't confirm it. but we were able to find out that they've been active actual israelis inside iran. they come and go and carry out missions there. >> some have been assassinated for helping them. >> what's occurred -- >> some have been executed. some -- >> no israelis. >> some iranians helped the israelis and they have been executed? >> my take on that charlie, is that i do not trust iran's

judicial system. >> they may have gotten it wrong? >> dissidents and people against the regime are in disfavor. put it that way. i think the iranian regime wants to look like it's in charge of things on top of this. no, they have not solved the crimes. since we say it's israeli mossad operatives who come and go yes. yes, i bet they have. i bet they have local help. i know they have ways of getting in and out of iran and that means they have safe houses and knowing israeli intelligence, they invested in that more than 30 years ago. they have safe houses, ways of getting in and out of places even in syria. egypt, enemy countries. they've been doing it practically since the beginning of israel. >> a former mossad head in public and in interviews and on "60 minutes" with lesley stahl, he has created distance between himself and the prime minister. >> it's not the distance you may be thinking. mayor dagan, the former head of the mossad, clearly agrees that it's unacceptable for iran to go

nuclear, to have nuclear weapons. but if you read between the lines, what this former mossad chief who retierl pretty recently, said that there's a lot more to do in sabotage and assassination. he feels that all-out war, israel ace air force attacking iran, that would be horrible and don't do that. >> does he worry that the prime minister might do that? >> yes. charlie. in fact we hear that from more people. both in the israeli military and the intelligence. but prime minister netanyahu seems to have his place in history in mind and he will never be the jewish leader who lets the enemy, iran get nuclear weapons. the intelligence community they say we agree. but we just think we should do it quietly through sabotage. prime minister netanyahu and edward barack keep giving feisty fiery speeches and the mossad wants to do things quietly on the down low. >> is there any difference in the opinion of the new head of mossad and dagan? >> not much.

at that miles an hour pardo, he hasn't been speaking publicly much. some people say that he is a bit more cautious than dagan. he became the mossad chief under prime minister ar yell sharon. you might consider him an adventurous person who will do exciting things. dagan certainly would. pardo may be cautious but he's in favor of covert action. they'll do whatever the prime minister tells him to do. they'll get ready for war if necessary. but the mossad always wants to offer options short of war. >> is there agreement in israel not that the iranians are enriching nuclear materials, but at the same time, they want to go beyond the capacity and actually have nuclear missiles. >> our book presents what the israelis feel at least is evidence, definite evidence that the iranians for instance have prepared a chamber where all you do there is test the trigger

mechanism for nuclear bombs. that's all that it's for. other evidence that they've passed along to the u.s., to the british, to the french to the germans. >> my question is not that. the question is, do they want to go beyond the capacity and actually make and be able to deliver on a moment's notice. >> now you're hitting upon something sensitive. because maybe the united states government would accept iran developing the capacity but not breaking out -- >> the israelis. >> i think not. they haven't said so in public. but i think in private you'll learn that netanyahu, the prime minister and president obama have disagreed on timing and on what's the red line. so the israelis say iran can't even come close to having a nuclear bomb. we can't live under that shadow. that's why that's mission number one for israeli intelligence. >> there's finally this. the zone of immunity. israeli capacity will not pen rate it. >> the favorite phrase of prime minister owe defense minister.

israel is trying to get the u.s. incredibly focused on this so when the israelis say the zone of immunity is coming perhaps israel won't be able to bomb iran because israel doesn't have the planes and the bucket bester bombs. but they say america, you do. israeli is hoping that the u.s. takes care of the problem if in fact, bombing raids are necessary. >> it's called spies against armageddon. inside israel's secret wars. on sale now. when you can skype with your friends around the world you can imagine what a big deal it is when it changed the way we see and hear people. as we look back 50 years to the historic debut of telestar on "cbs this morning."
