>> man with a gun. parking lot. white t-shirt. >> a gunman goes on a shooting rampage in wisconsin. at a sikh temple near milwaukee, seven people are dead including a gunman. >> it's a caucasian man in his 40s. >> one officer shot. >> the wounded officer in critical condition. a second officer shot and killed the suspect. >> tragedy for our religion. don't want anyone to get hurt. syria's prime minister defected to jordan with his family. >> syrian tv reports a bomb exploded in damascus injuring at least three. >> you like to see assad dead? >> yes. >> one person is dead and nine others hurt after a lightning struck a parking lot behind the grandstand at the pocono raceway. >> in oklahoma, crews battling a dozen or more fires. >> i've never seen nothing like this. it's bad.

it's bad. >> usain bolt explodes. he's still the king of the 100. >> i'm still the best. i'm always going to be number one no matter what. >> every man has his moment. his. >> she wins it. >> 400-meter olympic champion. >> i've worked so hard for this. >> a building tumbles off a road in northern india after floodwaters wash away the ground below. >> all that -- >> they won't be using that bat again. >> who mitt romney is going to pick. governor mcdonnell you are one of those that people keep saying are on the short list. >> really? you're kidding? >> and all that matters -- >>enings received confirmation that the rover landed safely on mars. >> on "cbs this morning." >> the team is ecstatic at tonight's results. captioning funded by cbs

welcome to "cbs this morning." investigators in milwaukee suburb will have more to say later this morning about sunday's shoot rampage. the gunman killed six people before he was shot dead by a police officer. >> and this morning, we still don't know the gunman's name or why he may have done this. ben tracy is outside the temple in oak creek wisconsin, with the latest. ben, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, jeff and gayle. two of those six people were actually shot and killed outside of the temple here in oak creek in the parking lot. the police hearsay they're investigating this as a domestic terrorism type incident. yet the 400 members of the community are wondering whether or not this was a hate crime. >> it was shortly after 10:30 in the morning when the shots began at the sikh temple of wisconsin. >> subject down! officer down! >> we have one fehr shot. >> witnesses describe -- in the

end the gunman killed six people, three others still in critical condition. >> my brother-in-law is inside there. he was sitting in there, too. i heard he got shot from the back. this is a big tragedy for our church. we always felt this is a safe place. >> when the first officer arrived on the scene, he was ambushed by the gunman. shot at least ten times. he remains in critical condition. a second officer shot and killed the suspect. >> officers responded to a 911 call and because of the heroic actions of our officers they stopped this from being worse than it could have been. >> authorities have not identified the suspect but say he is a heavy-set 40-year-old caucasian man with many tattoos. officers spent the afternoon combing what they believe could be o the suspect's neighborhood in nearby cud hey for clues. neighbors say the man police are investigating moved in just two weeks ago. >> nobody has really seen anything. we've heard here and there that they've been doing a lot of

arguing and fighting between him and another female. but i haven't seen them. >> at a prayer vigil last night, the sikh community gathered to mourn their loss. >> it's tragedy for our religion. but another way, we're peace loving people. we need to respect each other and be considerate and be loving. >> now, sikh is a religion that began in italy 500 years ago. because the men often let their beards grow out and wear turbines, they're confused with muslim. since 9/11 they have often been the subject of hate crime attacks. the sources are telling us that the police are investigating this as a potential race-based hate crime and that's based in part upon the evidence they found, including tattoos on the suspect's body. gayle and jeff? >> ben tracy, thank you very much. with us is cbs security analyst juan surt good morning to you.

>> good morning, jeff. >> they're calling it domestic terrorism. authorities have been more careful in their language. what do that is mean and how do they proceed from here? >> certainly, jeff this is an act of mass violence. they're looking at the motivations behind the shooter. if in fact this shooter was trying to intimidate the population x coerce the population under federal definition that's domestic terrorism. that's important because it triggers a number of things. resources from the federal government lead investigation by the fbi and they'll start to look to see if he was tied to other groups who have hate & filled agendas. how you classify this actually matters at the end of the day. >> juan, it's been mentioned this is a small community but they've gotten a lot of attention since 9/11. has it got en worse in the last couple of years? >> unfortunately, the sikh community, just over half a million in the u.s. has suffered a number of attacks since 9/11. as was just mentioned, often the colorful turbines the beards of

the men from the sikh community often are mistaken for muslim or extremist connections. but sikhism comes from indiament it's a peaceful religion. they're not tied to al qaeda, they have been subject to attacks. including a killing in arizona. that has increased and unfortunately, we see the worst of their nightmares yesterday. >> and juan quickly the shooter now as you know dead. how do they go about finds the motive? >> they're going to look at all of his possessions, internet postings, talk to his family and friends and also look at his tattoos. the fbi has a catalog of tattoos tied to extremist groups. so they're going to look at his body and any evidence to try to figure out what he was up to. >> juan thank you very much. >> thank you, jeff. rebels in syria are claiming a series of high-level defections as the violence rages on there this morning. the prime minister a long time supporter of syria's president

is quitting the government. he and three other cabinet ministers fled to jordan. holly williams filed this report from turkey along the syria border this morning. holly, hello to you. >> reporter: syrian state media reported today that the prime minister whom had only been in office for two months had been fired. but we're now hearing different reports that instead, he and his family defected over the border to jordan. there are further reports that several other top syrian officials have defected in the same manner. now, these are certainly not the first defections. several syrian ambassadors have defected. hundreds of syrian military officials have defected across the border including more than 20 generals. if they're true these senior defections is clearly a heavy blow to the syrian regime. also state media is reporting

that a bomb was detonated inside a television and radio building inside central damascus. several people were injured, no one killed. that's the latest we're hearing. there is i struggle going on for control of syria's media. yesterday, there was fierce fighting reported in the state television building in aleppo. >> thank you, holly williams reporting live from turkey this morning. in the meantime, charlie rose is on assignment in jordan getting a firsthand look at the regional impact of the syrian crisis. >> i'm standing in the middle of a refugee camp in jordan near the syrian border. when you see the people here who have fled their country because of violence, you're looking at the face of the tragedy of war. they are refugees. we talked about syria, president assad and these people in a conversation with the king of jordan king abdullah. >> you believe that the syrian

that is not going to be easy for assad to go because he's part of the minority? >> if i was putting myself in his shoes, again, having seen the images of what happened to gadhafi, that must be something in the back of his mind. where would i want to go if that was an option? if he does go by whatever means, i don't think the system that's around him is incapable of changing. you know, the clock is ticking on a political transition. and if we don't find ourselves a way out by the end of the year then you're going to see a spike in sectarian violence and i think it's going to be a full-out civil war and i think calamity for years to come. so you know bringing people together at international offices is great. this is what we have to do. and we have to continue doing that. but there's this new reality on

the ground that is overtaking events, if not already. and let's not underestimate the capacity of the regime to hold out a lot longer than expectations expectations. >> much more of my conversation with king abdullah of jordan including what might happen in syria and what might happen to president assad tomorrow. i'm charlie rose in jordan for "cbs this morning." for months iran has blamed israel and the u.s. for the murders of five scientists involved in iran's nuclear program. now, iran is broadcasting what it calls confessions from men who they say were involved. margaret brennan is at the state department. margaret, good morning to you. >> good morning to you, jeff. and there has been u.s. and israeli cooperation to sabotage iran's nuclear program, but u.s. officials are adamant that the u.s. did not have a role in these assassinations. this new documentary gives you a sense, though of the pr campaign iran is waging inside

its borders. >> iranian tv aired these images sunday allegedly showing iranian citizens admitting to working for israel in the planning and assassination of iranian nuclear scientists. it contained reenactment ofs the motorcycle hit men and that the plotter traveled to training camps in israel paid for by the u.s. it isn't the first time that iran accused israel and the u.s. of conspiring to ruin its nuclear program. this may be less about iran's nuclear program and more revealing about what's happening inside iran now. >> their goal at this time i think, is to change the story and create this atmosphere of tension that would in some ways legitimize or make excuses for the dire economic reality that exists in iran today.

>> released the same week that the u.s. tightened the financial news by adding to sanctions on iran's oil. sanctions already caused iran more than $9 billion every three months. draining the life blood out of its struggling economy. israel's prime minister publicly expressed doubt about the usefulness of u.s. sanctions. >> we have to be honest and say that all of the sanctions and diplomacy so far have not set back the iranian program by one iota. >> a string of u.s. officials, secretaries clinton and panetta as well as national security adviser tom donilon have made recent visits to israel to discuss the threat of iran. there is concern israel may take. -- now, ministers from europe and iran met last week to discuss the nuclear program and failed to set a date for the next round of conversations. u.s. officials say iranian's

need to show more seriousness about these talks. jeff? >> margaret i'll take it. good to see you and thanks. in oklahoma this morning, officials say more than 90 square miles have been burned by one wildfire that's being described as a monster. many evacuation orders have been lifted but local residents are still on edge. manuel bojorquez is in luther oklahoma, outside oklahoma city this morning. manuel good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. cooler temperatures overnight have helped firefighters but the heat is expected to return across the state today. now, the cause of those fires has not yet been determined. but here in luther oklahoma authorities believe the fire which destroyed homes like this one, was possibly caused by an arsonist. brandy west and her family were allowed to return home late sunday to sift through the ashes of her father's military medals. compounding their loss the oklahoma county sheriff's department is investigating this fire as a possible arson.

a man in a black truck reportedly threw a flaming newspaper and sped away causing a fast-moving fire. >> we had 30 minutes to get the stuff done get what we could. >> her father a decorated army sharp shooter, lived here until his death 18 months ago. as many as 20 medals are somewhere in the rubble she says. so far, they've only found one. >> it represents the world. it does. >> but in other parts of oklahoma, more than 30 fires remain active and there were 15 new ones started sunday. the state's department of forestry reports that 80,000 acres have burned and 120 homes have been lost. conservative numbers that are expected to rise later today. >> does that concern you, we're so early in the season and it's already this bad? >> absolutely yeah. this is going to put most everybody on edge throughout the state. >> the state is baking under a severe drought and temperatures remain around 100 degrees. the good news if there is any,

there have been no deaths reported. and for that brandy west is among those who are grateful. >> i think what helps me get through it is knowing that we're all safe. >> reporter: and some emergency shelters remain open this morning. in the meantime the weather not expected to help much. high temperatures are in the forecast throughout the week and thunderstorms in the forecast could be a mixed blessing bringing much-needed rain but also lightning which could spark more fires. >> manuel bojorquez. with the summer olympics the world he's fastest name and the gymnast fell out of the running for the medal. >> china leads with 61 including 30 golds. the u.s. is close behind with 60 medals, 28 of them gold. great britain is third followed by russia and japan. mark phillips is covering the olympics in london.

mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff gayle. well the star of hi olympics is always the winner of the men's 100-meter. it's just as well the guy who wins it is the best known and intriguing runner. the face of the olympic games. everybody is a jamaican this morning. not just those partying before the race even began. usain bolt was the reason. could the man whose personality is as big as the olympics biggest race repeat as 100-meter champion? it was the question of the games. fellow jamaican johan blake had beaten him at the trials. justin gatlin and others also posed a threat. >> set. >> the fastest field ever assembled got off to a clean start. the games most intense ten seconds had begun. bolt wins these races not at the start but in the middle. once into his stride he is what it says on the label of this

race, the fastest man in the world. how silly to have doubted him. it was a jamaican one two. gatlin coming back from a -- came in third. >> showing everybody that was talking all kind of stuff that i'm still the best. i'm always going to be number one no matter out. >> by outclassing the field for the second straight game, bolt has become what he said he wanted to be, not just a winner and olympic champion but a legend. other winners on this night ran in the shadow of bolt's star. sanya richards-ross held her nerve and her speed in the women's 400-meter to win the race she narrowly lost last time. >> you don't realize how much of a leap you're going to feel. you don't realize -- in that moment i realized all the hard work and disappointment, every sacrifice i made was worth it. >> everything doesn't go to plan here. mckayla maroney was considered the vaulter of choice in women's gymnastics until this.

she had to settle in every sense for second. and there was redemption and controversy on the tennis courts. britain's andy murray beaten in the wimbledon final weeks ago by switzerland's roger federer, got his revenge. a straight set victory. but serena williams celebratory dance after her victory over maria sharapova prompted a wave of internet reaction. the so-called crypt dance originated among l.a.'s murderous street gangs the. hardly what some thought for the all england tennis club. serena williams caused less of a stir overseas then in the u.s. the olympics is a big stage and you have to be careful what you're doing on it. as for jamaica, this is also the country's 50th anniversary of its independence. so it's just another reason to party. >> it sure was fun, mark phillips, watching usain bolt.

in slow moti this national weather report responsible supported by big lots. big savings.

touchdown confirmed. we're safe on mars. >> something for nasa to cheer about. after some tense moments, the most sophisticated space probe ever is safely on the surface of mars this morning. we'll show how this mission is giving a confidence boost to a struggling agency. american lolo jones is not a gold medal favorite in london but she's getting so much media attention, many people say she's already won. we'll see whether good looks are worth more than good results on "cbs this morning." >> this portion of "cbs this morning," sponsored by purina. your pet. our passion.

look at the landing over nasa's curiosity mars rover. why lolo

here you go. time for round four of the cliff diving world series. held on saturday on an island off the coast of ireland. the divers jump from platforms 92 feet high. yowzah. a russian won the event, an american finished third. there are three rounds left with the next one coming up in boston. >> if you miss these, you are badly injured or you're dead. >> badly injured, crippled for life or dead. they say never say never. something i would never do jeff glor. >> come on. let's give it a shot someday. >> no no. welcome back to "cbs this morning." >> welcome back everyone. the entire solar system might have heard the cheering from the jet propulsion laboratory late last night. what a great scene.

it happened as the mars rover curiosity landed successfully and sent back its first photos from the surface of the red planet. john blackstone is at jpl in pasadena california. john, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. i think we can safely say this morning that the jet propulsion lab is the happiest place on earth. because the "curiosity" over the car-sized rover, this is just a model the real thing is safely on the surface of mars. it's such a complex landing that some observers gave the chances of success at no better than 50/50. nobody had ever done anything like this before. and it was all happening 154 million miles away. >> we're just under six minutes to entry. >> in mission control, the tension was obvious as the spacecraft approached mars to begin what was called seven minutes of terror. but with each successful stage of the entry, confidence grew. >> parachute deploy. [ applause ] >> nothing was certain, however

until "curiosity" was confirmed to have landed safely on martian soil. >> touchdown confirmed we are safe on mars. [ cheering ] >> as the celebration began, mission control seemed to lose control. many involved had been working on this mars rover for a decade. >> lift-off. >> curiosity was launched towards mars 8.5 months ago, but the crucial part of that long voyage came down to the last seven minutes. that's when the spacecraft entered the martian atmosphere traveling at 13,000 miles an hour. its heat shield was designed to withstand temperatures of 3800 degrees. to slow down the entry, nasa engineers had to create and test the largest super sonic parahute ever made. its job was to slow down the spacecraft to 200 miles per hour. the final state was like nothing ever attempted before, cut loose

from the parachute a rocket propelled landing platform was designed to lower "curiosity" on cables to a gentle landing, a landing that was never going to be easy. but turned out to be perfect. >> new technology is never invented or attempted before were created for this incredible journey. >> we're on mars. >> those who builtnd operated the spacecraft enthusiastically entered a post landing news conference with cheers and high fives. >> today on mars history was made on earth. >> even the longest of odds are no match for america's unique blend of technical acumen and gutsy determination. >> curiosity confirmed its safe landing by sending photos back to earth almost immediately. one grainy image showed the rover's own shadow against the soil of mars. now, those first pictures came from a camera mounted underneath the rover. there are much better cameras on

this mast that rises above the curiosity rover and those should give us pictures that are panoramic pictures much more detailed pictures of mars in the weeks and months ahead. jeff, gayle? >> boy john the video of those guys in the control room the men and women looking so happy, never ever ever gets old to me. >> some of these people had worked on this project for nearly ten years. so seeing it be successful like this was a big treat. >> what was the purpose of the mission? what are they looking for? i'm fascinated by the title, seven minutes to terror. what are they doing? >> what they're hoping to do now now that they're through the seven minutes of terror and they're on the planet what they're going to do is look for signs that mars might once have been able to support life. now, that's one of the big questions in the universe. was there ever anything else out there. they're not actually looking for martians or life itself. they're looking for signs that at some time mars may have been habitable. >> very cool stuff. john blackstone thank you very

much. lolo jones is fast beautiful and apparently controversial. this morning, we'll show you how this olympic hurdler is living the american dream and we'll & talk about all the attention she's getting right now. some take issue with that. gayle, what do you think? >> i like lolo jones. the question is does she deserve all the attention. that's what we're talking about this morning. you're watching "cbs this morning." oven-baked dog snacks with soft savory centers made with beef and cheese. beneful baked delights: a unique collection of four snacks... to help spark play in your day.

from the pool to the track, all eyes seem to be on lolo jones. she's a 21st century athlete who seems to tweet about her every move. fans and the media can't seem to get enough. the publicity surrounding the lolo jones brand is everywhere. from oakley and proctor and dpamer & gamble commercials to sports illustrated. an athlete poised for greatness. >> i'll be running for 12 years. >> as a two-time world indoor champion in the 60-meter american record holder jones has hurdled the competition since her days as an all-american at lsu. >> this is really pretty lolo. gorgeous. >> with all the media attention she's been receiving, you've been thinking he's favored to win the hurdles, when in fact she's not. >> sports illustrated david epstein's says why her appeal transcends the track.

>> she's physically beautiful and very open about her personal life. people find that both interesting and alluring. >> this is jones second lap at the olympic games. in 2008 she surprised the track community by surging ahead in the 100-meter hurdles only to trip on the second to last hurdle and watch hr dreams of gold go by. she picked herself up and by the slimmest of margins she qualified for the 2012 games. even though her teammates posted faster times at the u.s. trials jones continues to shine as the olympic media favorite. >> the u.s. team has the reining olympic champion who is in the shadow of someone who barely made the u.s. team. so it throws into stark relief this issue of athletic competence versus sort of having a push from your sponsors and being willing to pose in various ways. >> after appearing in espn the magazine in 2009 jones was fast tracked for media stardom. >> she's been profiled on real

sports on hbo, on the tonight show and posed for the paparazzi at numerous events. it has some media outlets like "the new york times" wondering if jones deserves the attention she receives on and off the track. this morning "the new york times" wrote essentially jones has decided she will be whatever anyone want her to be, vixen, virgin, victim to draw attention to herself and the many products she endorses. she grew up homeless with a single mother and father in and out of jail, the skeptics can say what they will. in many ways she's already won. and she hopes to keep winning. after finishing first in today's qualifying race, gayle and jeff she advances to the semifinals here in london tomorrowment. >> bigad shaban thank you very much. a sports sponsorship counsel sul tant is here to show us how

olympians can make the most of their fame. dan, good morning. >> good morningment. >> what did you make of this, especially the times article. it struck us as a little nasty. this is a would-time world champion, 11-time all-american two-time olympian. she hasn't been without success. >> here's the thing. "the new york times" piece was a little rough. we're still talking about one of the best track and field athletes in the world. she's just not the best. but what she is the best at is getting attention and at the end of the day from a marketing perspective, what athletes want do is they want to get attention because brands need that attention to have the conversation with the consumers and she's clearly showing that she knows how to do that. >> what does she need to do in the 100-meter hurdles to maintain that attention? >> she needs to be competitive and be on tv and show that will and that determination. also the fact let's look at what happened the last olympics when she tripped. and the fact that she now represents the values of

brazilians as much as all this attention that she's getting. that's going to be part of her story. >> what role is the fact that she's pretty and announced i'm a virgin, i'm going to stay a virj ij. a lot of guys saying i want to meet lolo jones. how does that add to her appeal. >> it's another point of differential for her. you're looking at not only ways to get attention but what makes her unique. we're talking about her as a brand. not necessarily as a person. and those are all different from what we're used to seeing with other athletes. >> missy franklin on the news is deciding i'm going to college, i want to swim with my team. she's passing up millions of dollars in endorsements. good decision for her. >> it's a challenging decision. what you have to weigh is this is a 17-year-old girl we're talking about. if you stop and think about the decisions you're making at 17 that's what she's faced with. now from a business standpoint she probably stands to make about 7 to $10 million over the next four years. complicate that even more really think about that.

eyewitness news. up next robert kennedy's private

it is 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. charlie is on assignment today. >> i'm jeff glor. law enforcement sources confirm to cbs news this morning that the gunman who opened fire at a sikh temple in wisconsin yesterday was a u.s. army veteran. he was shot dead by police after killing six people on sunday. elaine quijano is in police headquarters in oak creek this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. two federal law enforcement sources tell us that the alleged gunman has been identified as 40-year-old wade michael tate. he served in the army for six years.

army officials say that his last duty station was fort bragg, north carolina where he worked in psychological operations. military sources say he was demoted and received a general, that is less than honorable discharge. >> they describe how the carnage was stopped. >> because of the heroic actions of our officers they stopped this from being worse than it could have been. >> one of the first policeman to arrive, a 20-year veteran with tactical training stopped to tend to someone laying on the ground. the shooter was lying in wait. he shot the officer at least ten times. a second policeman arrived. he radioed officer down officer down. >> subject down officer down! >> we have one officer shot. >> in the ensuing gunfight. he shot and killed can the gunman. investigators spent the rest of the day searching the nearby commute of cud a hey, believed to be where the suspect stayed for two weeks. >> never thought somebody like

that was in the neighborhood that could do such a thing, you know. crazy. >> sources tell cbs news that the fbi is investigating the shooting as a possible hate crime based in part on the tattoos on the gunman's body. >> now authorities are scheduled to hold a news conference later today to update us on their investigation. as for that police officer who was shot ten times, his name has not been released. but he is expected to survive his injuries. jeff? >> that is good news this morning. good morning. it is about 76 degrees on tv hill right now. as you look off over the city scape you can see some shower activity. let's take a look at the doppler. there you have it. very light widely scattered rain will press through the region over the next hour, hour and a half. a calmer afternoon with

su the kennedy family is making news on two fronts this morning. family members are divided over changes at the legendary kennedy compound in massachusetts. and some historians would like access to more than 60 boxes of robert f kennedy's files. covering historic moments of his brother's administration. >> one of the defining moments of john f. kennedy's presidency the cuban missile crisis. >> it shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launch from cuba or against any nation in the western hemisphere as an attack by the soviet union on the united states. >> the president was -- through his brother and closest confidant, attorney general robert f. kennedy whose portfolio went beyond most ag's. >> chairman of the executive committee during the cuban missile crisis that would involve the state department the defense department the

national security adviser. what's the attorney general doing in there? >> for this reason presidential historian douglas weed can't wait to look at the papers. there's only one problem. he can't. according to the boston globe that treasure trove of documents is stashed away at the presidential library in boston. after robert kennedy was assassinated in 1968, the national archives agreed to let ethel kennedy take control. >> we don't know what we'll find. it's what she's hanging on to. she knows what's hidden there. that's why she doesn't want to release it. >> down the coast from the jfk library, there's another fight brewing over another piece of kennedy lore. the maine family compound in hyannis port massachusetts. the kennedys have been coming here since the 1920s. it was famous of camelot and the family playing football on the

lawn or sailing off shore. >> this was our royalty. we identified with them and the joy of their a cent to power. we identified with family. >> the home was where senator ted kennedy spent his final years battling cancer. after his death, his widow, vicky kennedy donated it to the edward m. kennedy institute. other kennedy family members must pay to use the property. recently the institute denied a request by country music star taylor swift to stay overnight at the compound. she's reportedly dating robert kennedy's grandson connor. the tussles over robert kennedy's papers and the compound show how much the family is fighting to protect the kennedy legacy and keep it from receding into history. >> as long as they've got his papers and people are knocking on the door wanting them he's still in a way living. he's still there. as long as we can go back and play football there on the lawn, it's still there.

>> presidential historian and cbs news consultant douglas brinkley is joining us. good to see you. >> good morning, gayle. >> why do you suppose that ethel kennedy wants to keep the documents so secret now and what do you think we can learn from hem? >> we have to go back to 1968 when her husband was slain in los angeles and how horrific that was for a mother with all those kids and a deal was made with the national archives that she would get control over what's called the rfk personal papers. she's had control over these all these years. one could complain about the bargain between ethel kennedy and the national archives but mrs. kennedy is not doing anything wrong. they're really her papers at this point. the problem is that we're finding out they're not really personal papers and correspondence, that there's material as you mentioned, about the cuban missile crisis and other events when rfk was attorney general. i don't see this as a big issue. i think eventually they'll be

opened. they're all saved at the kennedy library in boston. with the 50th anniversary of the missile crisis approaching, a lot of scholars would like to get into it now. i'm afraid it will be a few more years before they're opened. >> i understand some of the documents are marked clos fied and some confidential. what's the difference between >> well, i mean, the ones that are truly personal papers let's say, might be a letter to frank sinatra or rfk's correspondence to jackie kennedy. those would be of great interest to us as americans. but it's nothing do with national security. other ones like during the missile crisis you might be dealing with some things may have to be redacted. you might be dealing with the cia operative or a very top secret military classified bit of knowledge that could have ramifications for a foreign policy today. so this batch of kennedy papers needs to be scrutinized and there's also a monetary volume u

that would need to be put on them. but the good news is the kennedy family says they're going to be opened, it's just a matter of timing. ethel kennedy has law in her favor. she brokered a deal in her favor back in '68. >> doug it's jeff. always good to see you, sir. i want to ask you about what's happening at the compound as well. what do you make of all that? >> well again, the good news the headline could be that the house is saved. and it is a historic house indeed. very few places have captured our imagination like hyannis port during the kennedy years. since the death of ted kennedy, the house went with a very expensive and wonderful summer vacation spot. do you hold it as an institute place for people for the ted kennedy institute or as a place that the kennedy family should continue to use? so you're dealing with i think, an inner kennedy family squabble when ted kennedy was alive, this wasn't an issue.

but his death, as in all deaths sometimes bring in different estate battles. and the kennedys are no different than anybody else. >> ted kennedy became the patriarch of the kennedy family with all the kids and the cousins. who do you see, doug as the leader of the kennedy family now? >> i don't think -- there is no more. a void was left by ted kennedy. i mean when he would show up at hyannis port or in washington the rest of the kennedy family would galvanize around him and he would tell them what was going on in washington or the inside scoop on things. that doesn't exist anymore. it's a lot of just different people trying to make it through life. it's just remarkable how bobby kennedy's kids keep making public policy influences. carrie kennedy in human rights, making documentary films. they're always in the limelight. but doing very important public service work.

so the kennedy name is still very popular. remember, one out of four americans is catholic. this was the catholic american president jfk. the catholics of the world look up to the kennedys. they -- if you're a kennedy and you go to italy or argentina, you're treated as royalty. in the united states we're endlessly fascinated by the family. >> all right. douglas brinkley reporting live this more than. we thank you. >> thank you. americans love visiting national parks like yellowstone and yosemite. would you want to take your kids to see where the first nuclear bombs were created? i don't know. we'll show you why those locations may become our next national park on "cbs this morning." living with the pain of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis could mean living with joint damage. help stop the damage before it stops you

67 years ago today the u.s. dropped the first atomic bomb on hiroshima, japan. it led to the japanese surrender that ended world war ii and brought us into the nuclear age. >> now there's a plan to mark the history of that devastating weapon by turning the birthplace into a national park. lee cowan has a rare look inside

the historic sites that changed world. >> high in the new mexico desert stands a small building. remarkable because it's so unremarkable. but if you peered through this now cobwebbed keyhole back in 1945, what you would have seen is the device that changed the world. silent on film but a shock that echos to this day. it was called euphemistically, the gadget. the first atomic bomb ever tested. scientists and engineers at the los alamos national lab rolled it out of these very barn doors some 67 years ago. all that's left now are the empty ghosts of the past. >> this is the dawn much the atomic age, really. this is where it all happened. >> to ellen mcgehee the lab's archeologist and historian, there are few places more significant. yet, this and the other buildings used for that top secret manhattan project had been forgotten by many.

>> if they're not maintained or managed, they will go away. we will lose this history snimt the bomb dropped on nagasaki was born in this quonset hut. >> the first atomic bomb is placed in the bomb bay of an american v-29. >> the bomb dropped on hiroshima was built piece by nervous piece in this bunker. >> this was built in 1943. >> no evidence is left of what happened in here. after all, it was all classified. >> you really can't understand how the scientists were working, what conditions they were working under unless you come out to the place where history really happened. >> but coming out here is difficult at best. the los alamos national lab is off limits to the public. yet, a bill is working its way through congress that would open parts of it up. turning the manhattan project sites into a national historic park. >> this is going to be a different national park experience than what some folks are used to.

>> yes. there will be some unique requirements. >> for one, you'll have to be a u.s. citizen. and no cameras or cell phones either. they're not allowed behind the fence. >> but the manhattan project didn't sprout from los alamos, it was a nationwide effort and so is the proposed park. the historic reactor b in han ford washington will also be included, as will parts of the oak ridge national laboratory in tennessee. both contributed greatly to the development of the bomb. >> the automatic controls -- >> even the home of the bomb's lead physicist, robert oppenheimer would be open for tours. it's still standing and so is its long time resident. >> nothing has really changed at all. even the latches on the windows. >> of course. why would you change them? >> 92-year-old helene suydam moved here in the late '50s. she's kept the living room very much the way oppenheimer left it. >> if this becomes a national park, what happens to you?

>> they don't get it until i'm not here so i'm not worried. >> some are worried. and for very serious reasons. >> what was your first reaction to the idea? >> one of caution. >> sue an gordon is with the alliance for nuclear accountability. while she agrees what scientists accomplished here is worthy of a national park she -- she worries it may gloss over the problem of nuclear waste. >> it needs to be a much more balanced approach that addresses the environmental of health consequences of the production of nuclear weapons in this country. >> lost on no one is the human toll. the hundreds of thousands of lives either lost by the bombs or saved by their ending the war. that debate continues to this day. >> you can't help but be struck with the sobering effect of what was being built and designed. >> history isn't always pretty. i think it's important that we

don't lose this history or lose the ability to reflect on that history. >> most of the men and women who lived and worked in this secret city are gone now. what they did is already in the had is tri books. where they did it some say should have a place in history too. for "cbs this morning," i'm lee cowan in los alamos.- so come jeff but don't bring your picnic basket. i think lee said it right. >> sobering. >> a different kind of park experience. >> it's sobering. i would go. >> i would go too. joe walsh is one of the great guitarists of all-time. he has a new album out. he's in our green room. he'll be on the set momentarily. stick around. you're watching "cbs this morning." >> this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by pieces. your favorites in pieces.

next one. >> that's good to hear. as gayle was jamming out this morning to the new disk some of the lyrics are poignant. in analog man, the whole world is living in a digital dream. it's not really there, it's all on the screen. you've been thinking about these concepts for a while. >> i have. i have. and what i am trying to do with analog man, it's a reality check. through music, i'm trying to show that we live on an analog planet, which we're systematically trashing while we're spending more and more time in the virtual world which doesn't exist. it's an illusion made by computers. what's really happening is that we're sitting in chairs while our bodies are waiting for our minds to come back. >> you do say, joe, that there's nothing that beats a feeling of being in the room with a group of people. really talented people just

doing what you love to do and that's play music. that nothing replaces that. >> yeah. with the new digital technology you can fix anything. and you can make everything perfect. >> is perfection bad in music? >> it doesn't sound good to me. >> uh-huh. >> all the mojo is gone. you get a human performance of guys playing together in a room and there's magic in that. and it's such a temptation to fix stuff that doesn't need fixing because you can. and every time you do that you lose a little bit of the magic that was there. and that's what we love about all the old records that we all love. >> yeah. >> i did a piece a while back an vinyl records. you talk about vinyl as well in this disk. >> yeah. >> there are things you just don't hear when you go to cd or mp 3. you still listen to vinyl, i

assume quite a bit. >> every chance i get. >> i like it. because there's a side b. >> yes. >> side b is pretty good. joe, do you know anybody who doesn't love hotel california? really, do you know anybody that doesn't love that record? >> well the band is a little sick of it. everybody else seems to like it. >> the rest of our regular joes that took me all through high school. when i think of you, i think about the eagles the 40th verse coming up. what does that feel like? what are your plans associated with that sm. >> well we're working on a documentary now. we've archived everything from day one. and we've put together a documentary of our story. it's not narrated. it's all us. >> there we go. >> and i've seen some of it. >> you --

>> it's amazing. it's really powerful. so that will be out this year. >> now, i understand that you and ringo starr, that he's your brother-in-law. how are you two related? how is that? >> my wife. >> marjorie. >> is barbara bach's little sister. >> i see. >> which makes me his brother-in-law to ringo. >> listen we should give a shoutout to marjorie who is with you today. marnlry convinced you that joe, you need to do this? wasn't it marjorie? >> yeah. she did a couple of things. i got married three and a half years ago. she's like the part of me that was missing. and she heard my bits and pieces that i had been working on forever but never really got any momentum to finish and she said i really believe in this.

and i think it's time you did another solo album and by the way, here's jeff lynn's number. >> jeff lynn is? >> from elo. and a brilliant -- the traveling wild bury's and producer extraordinaire. >> i wanted people to know. marjorie saw something in you that you didn't see in yourself. >> yes. >> so i'm thinking listen here, always listen to marjorie. have you learned that lesson? >> sometimes she's always right. that's all i'll say. >> i think -- wives are always right, aren't they, gayle? >> that's been my experience. >> marjorie is the part of me that was missing. she's a real closer. i get a thing started and then they sit there because i have another idea. and she helps me get things done. >> congratulations. 20 years is a long time coming.

"analog man." life's been good to you. >> good to be here. >> nice to see you. analog man is on sale now wherever you like to buy your music. a play called bullet for adolf may not sound very funny. that's because you don't know woody harrelson until he gets his hands-on it. he's a director co-writer. there's woody. joins us on the set this morning to talk about his new comedy and it is a comedy.

♪ another '80s song. this also should have been in the play right? woody harrelson's fans know he can be unconventional. when we say that we mean it. check out this. woody got here by bike this morning. no car for him. arriving at the cbs broadcast center. where is the helmet wood? >> well, this was a very short ride.

yeah. i've been getting grief about that. >> you better wear your helmet. the first person to come to the set on bicycle. woody, by the way is co-writer and director of his latest project. it's called a bullet for adolf. he joins us live and in color. they said bullet for adolf. i said what do you suppose that's about, jeff? i went to see it and jeff saw it too on friday. >> hysterical. >> we were cracking up. that you're the writer. >> number one, i'm sitting there saying when is woody coming out? i didn't read anything about it. because i wanted to be totally surprised. set it up briefly. i love the back story of you and your co-writer. >> yeah. >> because it involves race it involves sex, it involves some inappropriate stuff. but it's all delivered really really well. >> oh, thank you. well, i'm glad you guys came to see it saturday night with our best show and i think you were the best audience that night.

but it's -- i met frankie in the summer of 1983. we were working construction. it was -- i was working there before moving to new york to try to break in to acting. >> be a star yeah. >> or just make a living. so i had an amazing time that summer. i just think frankie is one of the most incredible people i ever met. and great storyteller, really funny guy. so when i left that summer i kept thinking about it and all the other characters involved and i was like i got to get back ahold of frankie. he had left houston. couldn't get ahold of him. so ended up going on leno ten years later. >> you issued the call. >> and said if anyone knows frankie. his brother was watching. next thing you know, frankie and i are hanging out in los angeles. >> what's so cool approximate this story is you didn't know

many black people. frankie didn't know many white people. the two of you came together in an interesting way. so many people are afraid to talk about race. you two clearly are not. >> we weren't afraid. we had a lot of times where we conflicted but we a lot of times where we just had unimaginable fun. we would stay up talking philosophy and everything until like 4:00 in the morning and then have to get up at like 8:00 or be to work at 8:00 and do construction. >> construction work. >> it was an incredible time. you know a lot of people say some of the people who come up and have said i hate theater. but i was not even wanting to be dragged to the theater. but this was a great experience. i feel like this is a play for people who don't necessarily like to go to the theater. >> it's true. >> you co-wrote it. you directed it. how much of this is real and how much is fiction? >> well it's hard to say.

i mean it's -- we didn't really have a plot that summer. so we had to impose one on the play. >> this being the gun and the bullet for adolf, that is? >> yeah. >> it's a whodunit in the middle of it. >> it's a whodunit and it was really based on a story that actually happened. that i heard about it from this gentleman in northern california who actually has the gun now. the real gun. i thought, there's got to be a way to superimpose that on this play. >> you did it very nicely. you did it very nicely. >> thank you. >> i have to say woody, i've never smoked marijuana and i know you're a fan. i'd like to tell me what am i missing, mr. harrelson? i'm being serious. >> i don't know why it becomes such a mascot for this. because i don't actually technically believe -- i believe in straight edge kind of -- i've never lived it, of course. >> yes. >> a bit of a party animal.

what are you missing? probably have enough euphoria in your life. at least that's what the authorities say, it creates yu for wra. >> i believe in straight edge i've just never lived it. i love it. can we talk quickly about hunger games. >> oh, yeah. >> in the first one. have you shot the second one, are you shooting the second one sp. >> no. we start next month. >> okay. >> where is that done? >> that's in atlanta. >> mice. >> and in hawaii. the part i'm not in is in hawaii which happens to be where i live. an irony. >> that's a gorgeous place to live. you have three daughters. i love the fact that you have daughters ranging in age from 5 to 18. you have teenagers in the house. what's woody like as a dad? i'm thinking you're a liberal kind of dad? >> yeah. i think that's a fair assessment, gayle. i'm a liberal dad.

i mean i believe that kids should do what they want to do as long as they're not hurting themselves or anyone else. other than that, they should be able to run free. >> i got you, woody harrelson. congratulations. bullet for adolf, very well done. >> it is a riot. highly recommend it. >> really appreciate it. playing here in new york city right now through september 9th. we'll be right back.
