weekend, everybody. see you monday. captioning funded by cbs new york agency "up a wall street" protesters staying for now after city officials scrap plans to remove them from park for cleaning. we will will live for the latest showdown. republican presidential candidate rick perry unveils a new jobs and energy plan today in hopes of giving his sagging campaign a boost. this as his wife say he has been brutalized by his opponents mainly because of his faith. we will ask the governor about that and his faith and his dropping poll numbers. officials in britain are in anticipation of a possible baby from william and kate and tell

you why it may no longer be a man's world at buckingham palace "early" this friday morning, october 14th, 2011. good morning. welcome to "the early show" here on a -- well, damp, wet friday morning in new york but should be pretty good pretty soon. >> good morning, everybody. i'm betty nguyen. erica hill is off this morning. a visit this morning from bill o'reilly who has opinions on about everything, as you know, and we have a lot of things to talk about from the gop presidential race to abraham lincoln's assassination. the subject of his latest book. we will also get his take on the wall street determinmonstrators where they are headed coming up. the top story this morning is about 30 minutes ago, new york city officials delayed a

deadline for the protesters to leave the park they have been living in for weeks now. jim actxelrod is here with the latest. >> in this park, as dawn breaks over lower manhattan, so too the tension that had been building here breaks. the looming sense of confrontation between the police and protesters as the city had told the protesters at 7:00 this morning, right about now, they had to vacate the park and take all of their personal possessions with them as the city was going to come in and clean what is actually a privately owned piece of land. the protesters had felt that was just a pretext to clear them out and so this sense of confrontation had been looming and then the word gets out about a half hour ago that the city apparently blinked and said, no, there won't be any cleanup at 7:00 this morning, postponing it indefinitely. and this mood of jubilation and celebration broke out, replacing

this sense, as i say, of looming confrontation. chris? >> jim, what is next? now the cleanup has been postponed, obviously, it's not any cleaner down there. what is the next move? >> reporter: well, the city hasn't said when or if it will plan to come in. remember, the demonstrators are taking it upon themselves to get this place cleaned up in response to the letter that they had received that the city had received from the actual owners of the property. so the city has not said anything yet about when there might be any kind of cleanup. but it's a fair question to ask at this point, given what this announcement has created in terms of a sense of the demonstrators feeling a bit more emboldened, the question is what degree of difficulty does that add when the city does want to come in and get this place cleaned up. chris? >> cbs' jim axelrod in lower manhattan for us, thank you. to the republican presidential race. rick perry will reveal his energy and jobs creation policy

in a major speech today in hopes of reviving his faltering campaign. >> first, jan crawford is in washington with the latest on the race for the nomination. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, chris. when rick perry announced two months ago he was running for president he shot to the top of the field and he has seen his support crumble and yesterday his wife said don't count him out. >> it's kind of been a brutal month but we are survivors and we are warriors and we are climbing up that hill to try to save america. >> reporter: it's been a rough stretch for texas governor rick perry. he has downplayed a series of rocky debates. >> there may be slicker candidates and smoother debaters but i know what i believe? >> reporter: he has taken heat for what he believes in, especially immigration as he signed the first in the nation law giving tuition discounts to illegal immigrants and controversy over mitt romney's mormon faith prompted by a perry

supporter. >> in my estimation mormon is a cult and it would give credence to have a momon candidate. >> reporter: perry plummeted 31% last month to today 13%. the beneficiary of his misfortunes? businessman herman cain who has surged out perry and edges out romney in some polls. they are trying to get rush limbaugh who packed romney in 2008 but yesterday said. >> he's a fine guy. a very nice gentleman. he's a gentleman but he is not a conservative. >> reporter: working to get his campaign back on track, today perry gives his first policy speech. >> i will announce my own energy jobs plan and i can promise you this, i'm going to take the side of workers and employers in america. >> reporter: perry's wife anita called him the true conservative in the race yesterday. she said he is being brutalized

by his opponents and the republican party because of his faith. despite that perry is leading the gop pact in fund-raising this month and he has more than enough to keep his campaign going for a while. chris? >> cbs' jan crawford in washington, thank you so much. joining us from pittsburgh is texas governor rick perry. governor, good morning. >> good morning, chris. how are you? >> good. today, you unveil your long awaited energy jobs plan. let's give the americans specific here. what is it about your plan that should you be elected come january, 2013 you will put people back to work. >> as i travel across the country, people ask me that exact question. we put a plan together that doesn't require congressional action and will get 1.2 million americans working. we do it by opening up these federal lands and federal waters for exploration and pull back

the onerous regulations and you rebuild the epa. when you think about the number of jobs that can be created because of this treasure trove that is underneath the united states and lands of the united states, opening those up does two things. it will create a huge number of jobs and put americans back to work. that's what people are concerned about today. they want to know who on that stage, who running for president really cares about their future and giving them the opportunity to have the dignity to take care of their family with a job and that what this plan does. it clearly shows america in the first 100 days after i'm sworn in where i can get this country to working to bring those resources to the ground, to open up all of the above portfolio of energy, frankly, and make america more secure from an energy standpoint. >> well, let me ask you this, though. in order to implement the things you want to you have to win your party's nomination.

right now your poll numbers are moving in the wrong direction. you jumped on the scene with such pomp and circumstance what do you attribute the latest plummet in the polls to? >> you're going to have up and down in polls. i was 25 points down the last time i won governor and i think we won that by a substantial margin, so i don't get confused this early in the race. we have been in this race for eight weeks. it's going to be up, it's going to be down. i doubt very seriously if who is leading in the polls today is going to be our nominee. >> your wife anita said yesterday you're being, quote, brutalized by your party and your opponents because of your faith. do you agree with that? do you think you're being targeted because of your relationship with god? >> well, family always take these elections probably as tough as anybody. my wife said two things yesterday. she said he's the most conservative candidate in the race and he's a christian. and i can't argue with either one of those facts. >> one of your supporters robert

jeffres called mormonism a cult and said he did not believe romney believed in god. you haven't dissociated yourself from those comments and chris christie said that makes you unfit for the presidency. do you want to take yourself to distance yourself from those comments or are you okay with it? >> from the get-go, first time we were asked, we said we did not agree with what that pastor said and that is the fact. and the other side of this is just because someone has endorsed me doesn't mean i endorse what they say or what they do and that is the case here. and we have said that repeatedly. so i think anyone trying to use this as a political tool just needs to look at the facts. we clearly said we didn't agree with that statement. but on the other side of it, if i have to spend all of my time disassociating myself with what someone says about me or if president obama has to disassociate people who support him with things they say, we are

not going to get much time how to create jobs in this country and that is what americans are interested in. they are not interested in these side issues and side shows. they are interested in how you are you going to be able to get me, my family to have an environment where we have the dignity to have a job. i'm laying out that today at pittsburgh and there are going to be a lot of americans, democrats and republicans and independents saying you know what? that is a fellow who has a plan for america and i'm going to be far in because he is the one that understands what is going on in this country. >> the good news, governor, you raised $18 million in the third quarter and you haven't lost an election in 30 years. >> thanks, chris. take care. so long. >> appreciate it, governor. here is betty. on the political trail, president obama travels to michigan today to talk about deals with trade and about jobs. it's no coincide he is going there again. michigan is key to any presidential candidate's prospec prospects. senior white house correspondent bill plante has more on that.

>> reporter: last week, the president went to texas, the home of rick perry. today, michigan, where mitt romney grew up. no coincide indeed. but the official reason for the president's trip today is to sell reluctant democrats a new free trade agreement. >> in short, this agreement will boost american exports by up to $11 billion and support some 70,000 american jobs. >> reporter: mr. obama takes south korea's president lee myung-bak to a gm plant and he'll say the new trade agreement means more u.s. jobs and more exports. this is the president's ninth trip to the wolverine state since taking office including a stop in september. the electoral votes are critical for him in 2012 and the white house now assumes will be his challenger, the home of mitt romney. >> you have a president i think is well meaning but over his head when it comes to the economy. >> reporter: romney has focused his attacks on the president and this week, the white house re-election machine began returning the compliment. one recent poll shows that in a

head-to-head race with president obama, romney fares far better than any other republican. in a dead heat with the president, romney gets 44% to the president's 46. campaign strategists and obama confidant david axelrod has gone on offense this week calling romney a flip-flopper adding consist city has never been the hallmark of his career. another one says romney a flip-flopper on abortion to health care to the stimulus. and as the president celebrated the free trade agreement with south korea, romney rolled out his own trade platform. >> i happen to think it's because it's political theater. one more occasion of deceiving the american people into thinking something is being done when nothing is being done. we don't new legislation. we need a new president. >> reporter: axelrod struck back tweeting a year ago romney hit obama in no joapology for being too tough on -- the white house

always said it expects a close race and that the president will be prepared. and he will. he raised $70 million in the july/september august a good deal than all of the republicans combined. that's impressive but if he doesn't do better than that, he won't match the 750 million he raised last time. >> bill plante at the white house for us, thank you. a new twist this morning in the government's gun-walking scandal involving a more dangerous rep. cbs news correspondent sharyl attkisson has been on this from the beginning and joins us from washington. >> reporter: new details as the fast and furious investigation branches out to a case with a twist. not walking guns but involving grenades. a suspect allegedly left to traffic and manufacture them from mexican drug car tells. police say jean batiste kingery a u.s. citizen was a grenade machine and accused of smuggling parts of more than 2,000

grenades into mexico for killer drug cartels sometimes under the direct watch of u.s. law enforcement. law enforcement sources say kingery could have been prosecuted twice in the u.s. for violating export control laws, but each time, prosecutors in arizona refused to make a case. grenades are weapons of choice for the cartels. a recent attack on a casino killed 53 people. sources tell cbs news that in january of 2010, atf had kingery under surveillance. they say prosecutors wouldn't agree to make a case. so as atf agents looked on, kingery and the grenade parts crossed the border and simply disappeared. six months later, kingery allegedly got caught leaving the u.s. for mexico with 114 disassembled grenades and a tire. one atf agent said he begged prosecutors to keep kingery but

was ordered to let kingery go. the prosecutors the target of controversy for overseeing fast and furious wouldn't comment on the grenade case. dennis burke recently resigned's hin assistant has been transferred. sources say hurley let kingery go saying grenade parts are novelty items and the case lacked jury appeal. in august, mexican authorities raided king rierykingery's stas. he is allegedly teaching cartels how to make them and make semiautomatic rifles to fully automatic. as one source puts it no telling how much damage kingery has done since he was first let go. it is now being investigated, along with fast and furious. >> sharyl attkisson, thank you. >> that investigation just keeps growing, it seems. here is jeff glor at the news desk with a check of other

♪ welcome back to "the early show" here on a friday morning. that fog starting to clear here in the city, we hope. i'm chris wragge along with betty nguyen here this morning. erica hill has the morning off. we know bill o'reilly best from mixing it up with his guests on his show but bill also finds time to write some interesting books. >> his newest is calling "killing lincoln." bill is kind enough to join us now to talk politics and protesters and the book. good to have you in. >> thanks for having me in. >> let's talk about that first and foremost. it's in the headlines this morning. they were supposed to clear out

the protesters down for the "occupy wall street" in lower manhattan. half hour before they were supposed to clear them out postponed removing any of the protesters. what is your thoughts on this? >> i respect protest and we respect the tea party and some of the protesters who want to change their country for the country. it's a private park and the reason they didn't kick them out is because the guys who owned the park said let them stale there for a while. the the new york city authorities did the right thing. what concerns me is new york magazine took a survey and asked them how radical left are you? 34% said we believe the united states is no better than al qaeda. once you get into that kind of extreme position, you have to take a real skeptical look at it. >> have you noticed the more people joining in the protesters down there -- i think everybody sees at first the reports in the papers that people are down

there to procure drugs and then kind of get involved in some of the things that don't good along with the protests if you're trying to get behind a message. "time "say americans have a favorable view what is going on down there. is there that dichotomy one bad element and a lot of people understand and getting behind the movement? >> it's different from the tea party. the tea party is pretty united under one banner. here it's all over the place. i think a party element down there and a dating element. here they are one little park and then a serious element people can't get a job and are teed off. it's a lot harder to categorize those people than, say, the tea party. >> can this movement last if there is no singular voice, no singular leadership to it? >> it depends how much money george zaros is willing to

invest. the leaders of the group are being paid. the agitators and the people who organize can continue to keep it going if the money continues to flow. the rank and file protesters are not getting paid. it's just the people saying we're going to go here and there and march on this one, that one. so i don't see it, though, as a growing movement. it's not going to be like vietnam, not be like that. >> do you think mayor bloomberg, he has taken the party line and said as long as they don't break the law, they can sit. do you think he is happy about that? >> no, he is not happy about it but you don't want to beat the people up and chasing them around. america is built on dissent and robust debate and that is a good thing and we should respect it. >> you were on letterman last night. >> was i? >> we will take a look. let's play it real quick and talk about it on the back end. >> we never had a president named mitt. as a historian, you know that. >> not one named barack either.

>> let's talk presidential politics. rick perry was on our broadcast earlier this morning. why won't he agree to come on "the factor? >> eight minutes we offered him tonight. highest rated prime time news program in the world. >> 6 million viewers. >> yeah. we said hey, governor, eight minutes for you on a friday night. come on in. he's not coming in. i'm sitting there going, i don't think he wants it now. my theory, i could be wrong, but i think he got so beat up the first three or four weeks in there he says, you know what? i don't really want it because if he wanted it, you don't pass up eight minutes. look. i'm here in the morning getting up early so i can sell a few copes of this book because you, millions of people watch you. this is what you do. if you want to get your message out, you go and you do it. he is turning down eight minutes on "the factor"? >> doesn't make assistance. >> it's a numbers game. talk about the numbers. herman cain is doing well and leading that. is this a guy who can truly win?

>> no. he can't. >> in your eyes? >> bill, i want you to be honest. >> some people say maybe he is poisoning himself for a cable news program. >> herman can do whatever he wants. when i say no, i think everybody should understand i thought hillary clinton would beat barack obama. so i could be wrong. >> you've been wrong in the past. >> herman cain doesn't have any money and not much of an organization in the states that matter. i'm thrilled with herman cain. i think he has injected a lot of interest in this campaign. >> yeah. >> he snos stiff. he is straightforward. the 999 thing is never going to work and he'd never get it passed but the fact he is there and getting people to talk is a good thing. he is a populous. these polls are based on likely primary republican voters. when you take it wide to a general election he doesn't compete nearly as well. i can tell you this as a fact, barack obama would love to run

against herm aa aan cain. >> that is his number one choice now that palin is out of the race. the republican party should be fair and balanced. give herman the forum and see what the folks want, stay out of it and let the best man win. >> do you think they share the same view as you and he probably won't be able to win? >> i don't know what they are thinking. everybody on fox is republican! i never in my life talked anybody in the republican party or i seen any of their literature and i don't care what they say. i'm an american and i want a robust debate and herman cain provides that. >> let's talk about mitt romney. rush limbaugh who supported him in 2008 came out and said he is not a true conservative. what do you think about that? >> i'm not going to comment on what limbaugh says or doesn't say. he is entitled to his opinion and he is successful and a lot of people listen to him. i thought mitt romney did a decent job in massachusetts. i lived there for years and the state was upgraded when he was in office and which is almost unheard of because the

legislature is so far left and move to cuba tomorrow. you like rom me care, you do or you don't. it's up to the folks. i think the governor is a foremidable presence and has an economic background and this election next year is all about economics. >> "the new york times" number one best seller. "killing lincoln" your former book. as a former history teacher, what are you looking to do? update curriculums around the united states? >> i write books about current economic problems. we are a country in decline. i said to myself who is the greatest leader america ever had? abraham lincoln, in my opinion. he's a gold standard. i will introduce lincoln to a country that doesn't know a lot about him, particularly younger americans. they don't get taught history and don't know what he suffered. i will write it as a john gresham novel.

you read it. >> did you think i could fall flat here? >> oh, absolutely. i took less money for this. >> as a thriller when there is so many lincoln books out there. >> i took less money for this book to do it, because the publisher said well, you know, you really successful in this but this is a departure and there is a lot of lincoln books. i said, look. we will do it and, number one, i was surprised in a sense it took off so quickly, but people are hungry to know about their heroes and lincoln is hero number one, washington number two. >> you spent a lot of money on research in this book. >> yeah. we hired the best researcher in martin duguard and came up with unbelievable stuff. john wilkes booth is engaged to be married. who is he stepping out with? lincoln's son on the side and we think booth found out about it because his fiancee was double teaming him with robert todd. how did we find out?

all of the stuff we got was from letters with conversations that either occurred at the time or afterward. the most eerie part of the book is when lincoln predicts his own death and that came, to his wife and to people in the white house, he knew he was going to be killed. and that came, people who heard that conversation wrote it down in letters and sent it to other people and we got a hold of that accordance. >> but he didn't increase the security. >> he didn't. >> even though he thought he would be assassinated. >> one question i want to ask abe why didn't you you up security when you had a premonition you knew you would be killed? >> great stuff, bill. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> you can read an excerpt from "killing lincoln" at our website at cbsnews.com. really a good read. thanks, bill. here is jeff glor at the news desk with a check of today's other headlines for us. good morning to everyone at home. a potential showdown between new york city police and wall street protesters has been avoided this morning as they have been discussing.

tear is. if you look at the knee actually to understand where these ligaments are, they are really on the sides of the knee as the knee -- as the patella attaches from the upper thigh bone to the lower bones of the leg and also within the patella so you can see that crisscross there in the middle. any time the upper leg moves in a different direction than the lower leg or you rotate, that is usually the stress that causes a ligament injury. can you get either a grade one or a grade two tear. those are the ones that really respond to conservative therapy and we have an acronym in medicine called rice. it stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation and what any on the other hand surgeon is going to tell you to do for at least two weeks after you've strained the joint. this is something you can do at home. you have to stay off of it. using things like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, motrin, ibuprofen is good for it. >> you have the mcl and acl and

pcl. are they all requiring surgery? >> it depends on how severe the tear is. obviously the more severe tears will be needed to be treated physically. physical therapy is always important. >> give it two weeks before you make that call to your surgeon, right, just to see how it does? >> unless it's a severe injury. >> got you. we have another question for you. this from facebook. it's an interesting one from cynthia. it says my hands are not really smooth like they used to be and now my hands are really dry. amen to that. what can i do to make them smooth again? i think we are seeing that when we age. >> her question is a common one. it's not just a cosmetic issue when you are talking about the skin on your hands. it can become a medical one. as the skin gets dry it can get tiny cracks in it and that can be a source of bacteria to enter into the skin and it is a potential for infection.

so a couple of things you want to do. don't stop washing your hands obviously. we say that all the time. you actually want to restore that moisture barrier. i recommend just plain petroleum vaseline. >> just straight vaseline? >> at night, it's a good idea. you can use the over-the-counter moisturizer as well but be careful to read the ingredients because most contain alcohol and that is more drying. then there is a prescription location that you can get from your doctor, lack hydrin if it gets bad. >> put lotion on and gloves on. >> it looks weird but that's right. >> lindsay has a question many frustrated mothers have. >> my question is how do you get a small child to stop sucking their thumb? >> right. my children used pacifiers. the same quandary in thigh

household. first thing is realize they outgrow them. we say no one goes to college sucking their thumb so try to ignore it as much as. otherwise, praise, reward them for not sucking their thumb and keep them distracted. if their hands are busy doing something else, they won't put it in their mouth. >> give them a game console. >> or a bulackberry. >> good stuff, mom. online penny auctions claim you can get pennies on the dollar but it may not be worth it. we will you about it when we come back. >> announcer: "cbs healthwatch" sponsored by prego. choose taste, choose prego!

with nothing at all. >> if you don't win the bid you're not without any money in many auctions but in the penny auction you may be. >> here you have to buy bids, 50 cents to a dollar in many cases and you could bit 50 or 60 times on a particular product and not get it and basically walk away with nothing. >> what did your investigation find out about some of these sites? they are up to no good, some of them. what did you find out? >> there have been problems with some of the sites. i think, in general, the sites are probably on the level but people have to realize only one person will walk away with that great deal and everybody else is not. when you get into it, go into it with your eyes open and probably realize you're probably not that one person. >> have there been cases no great deal to have? it's shadowy? >> there are dozens and dozens of these things and some of them have been shut down. we advise people to go online, go to google and put in the name of the side and words like

complaints or rip-offs and see what other people's experience has been with it. >> they advertise for a penny you may be able to own a flat screen television that is worth $2,000. what they don't think you if you don't win that bid and you spend a hundred, 200 dollars trying to bid on it, if you don't win it, you're out that money. >> that's right. some sites will give you the opportunity to buy that television at retail. we looked into that and find their retail prices are typically higher than you could play elsewhere. look around, look at your local stores, you may do much better there. >> we are painting a little bit of a negative picture for some people sitting at home thinking it's a great deal. how do you be that one person or make that winning bid to actually get that big screen tv for pennies on the dollar? >> well, you know, a lot of people are devoted against this so you're competing with people are almost professionals at it and who know all of the tricks. for the average person going in there, the odds are pretty slim. i mean, there are ways to bid at the end, various strategies and some of the sites if you go into

them, they will explain some of the strategies for bidding. >> you have to do your homework in order to get that flat screen television for pennies on the dollar. >> you do, indeed. >> like you should anyway. it's not a total scam. you have to do your due delegation and, like you said the better business bureau is the online site you need to go explore these things before you get involved. >> some people have fun with these but we say don't get carried away and know what you're getting yourself into. >> absolutely. greg, thanks so much. you can find out more about online penny auctions at cbsnews.com. now some food for thought. would you rather not deal with a chatty waiter when you can just order your own meal on your own? >> sounds like a good idea. jul julie watts tells us some restaurants are using tablet for do it yourself ordering. >> i guess this is ipad and how we are ordering. >> reporter: from fine dining to fast food.

comfortable. >> reporter: in barbacco they have ipad line lists over a year. do people buy more wine? >> by glass, yes. wine sales up 5% to 7%. >> reporter: although initially law creek steakhouse saw a jump in sale. increase $2 a day per menu. >> take an awful lot of steaks to be sold to pay for the technology advances. >> reporter: and here they still order through a waiter. something rob black of the golden gate restaurant association says may be irreplaceable. >> there will always be a role for the human component as well and when done well, they compliment each other and i think it goes back to what experience does that customer want. >> reporter: well, the customers we met still want a waiter, along with technology on the side. julie watts, cbs news, san francisco. good luck on those days that somebody forgets to charge the

ipad or they lock up. >> i like the idea, because you can get your check a lot quicker. i mean, a lot of pluses to it. the only thing i don't like, one, it's going to put some people out of jobs. two, i always ask which is better on the menu and the tablet is not going to tell me that, right? >> no. why to get the advice of the waiter or waitress. now a inspiring story. dewey bozella has a traumatic life. not only witness the murder much his mom and he spent 20 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. >> he free and getting ready for the fight of his life as a 52-year-old professional boxer. bit whitaker has his story.

>> reporter: dewey bazilla says when his world was caving in, boxing gave him hope. >> it was my freedom. if you really want to look at it like that, that was my escape from where i was at. >> reporter: where he was at was one of the nation's most notorious prisons, sing sing, and sent there for the murder of a 92-year-old woman. he said he was innocent. there was no physical evidence, but once convicted, there also appeared to be no hope. >> when they sentenced me to 20 years of life, i'm like, you know, i'm a walking zombie. my number was ao4172. >> reporter: were there times in prison you thought i'll never get out of here? >> yeah. >> reporter: in fact, new york prosecutors gave him a chance to leave prison in 1990, two decades ago, with one catch -- to go free, all he had to do was confess. he refused again and again. each time he refused, more time was added to his sentence. >> you're saying i murdered a 92-year-old woman. you got the wrong man, period. i said i'd rather die in prison than to tell you i did it. so, it cost me 32 years of my life. and i lived with that. that was my decision.

>> reporter: eventually, lawyers working pro bono got his case reopened and then thrown out. finally, in 2009, dewey bozella walked out of court an innocent, free man. >> if anybody had a reason to be angry, bitter, it's you. >> but the whole thing was, what good was it going to do me? if i don't find my own piece, the only one i will hurt is myself, so i found my own piece through boxing. >> reporter: dewey had always wanted to be a professional fighter but he was over 50. it seemed his time had come and gone, but he was determined to get a boxing license and climb into the ring. >> and i failed! and i failed. they didn't want to give it to me. they didn't want to give me my license. >> reporter: but dewey then received what he rarely had before -- a second chance. he made the most of it. >> dewey bozella. dewey? >> reporter: tomorrow night, he will face an opponent half his age.

and while dewey's story has inspired many, including champion oscar de la hoya. >> you think, wow. is it going to be okay? this is fighting against a younger guy who is going to try to knock your head off. you start thinking he spent so many years in jail, i don't think there is anything tu tougher than that. >> so this boxing match is very important to you? >> of course. >> reporter: what does that do you when some people say i don't think he's got it and i'm not sure he will make it. >> let me be the one to say that, not you. when you say that, it only makes me more determined. >> i'd rather get knocked out cold and stomped to the dust of the earth than to give up. that's how i feel. >> reporter: perhaps at one point, dewey bozella could have been a contender, but at age 52, all he has left is a dream -- one fight. why just the one? >> because that's what i need. i need to know what it feels like to be a pro. i need to know what it feels

like to be able to say to myself, i did it, when everybody else said i couldn't. >> bill whitaker, cbs news, los angeles. >> we wish dewey the best. a note to his competition in that fight, he's got some fight left in him. he may be 52, but do not take that man for granted, that's for sure. >> i love how he said just one and done. this is all i need is one shot at it. he is already a winner before he steps into that ring. up next a new battle in the world of wines. the box versus the bottle and show you why more people are opening a spigot and not a cork.

well, with the weekend fast approaching, it's time to make some plans and it definitely should include some wine. >> always! but instead of picking up a bottle, would you think about reaching for maybe a box of wine? i always enjoy box wine.

i'm not afraid to say it. kristin donnelly joins us with more. >> the stigma for boxed wine is qaunt quantity over quality. it's the kind you drink in college. can you tell the difference between boxed wine and bottled wine? let's face it. americans love their wine. in fact, more vino is consumed here than anywhere else in the world making it a big business. wine makers are looking to give customers more bang for their buck. >> right now, i think is like the best time for boxed wine. >> reporter: while keeping the integrity of their brand. >> more and more producers are actually trusting boxes, so they are trusting the fact their wines will last and they will be delicious in rah box. as more and better producers trust the box, then consumers will trust the box. >> reporter: four years ago, sales of boxed wines spiked by

50% and from 2009 to 10:2010 th increased 20% and sales of table wine rose 3.5%. >> i think the stigma among wine drinkers is getting better and i think the stigma among wine experts is gone. >> reporter: kristin says economics is contributing to the wine in sales. >> boxed wine is cheaper because you don't have to pay for the glass bottle. you don't have the cork. the shipping is cheaper and that makes it more ecofriendly. >> reporter: the box boasts a longer shelf box than the average bottle. >> the enemy of wine is air. >> reporter: vacuum sealed to months than a few days for a bottle. we wondered how people felt about this boxed wine renaissance so we conducted an unscientific taste test. >> $7 bottle? >> of wine. >> reporter: to see if they could tell the difference between the box. >> i love wine. >> reporter: and the bottle. >> i actually prefer wine number

three. >> reporter: while some were able to separate the two by taste. you preferred the most expensive wine, $45 bottle of wine! so you've got expensive taste. >> i have expensive taste! >> reporter: others were fooled by the price. >> shocks to see the difference in the price and the taste. >> reporter: would you be okay in the future. >> i would be all right drinking that. >> reporter: flip over which you felt was most expensive. >> okay. >> reporter: wine one. this is actually a boxed wine averaging $5 a bottle. the least expensive of the three. >> of course! >> reporter: are you shocked? >> i am, i am! >> reporter: but at least one amateur wine connoisseur. oh, don't like that one. one fooled completely. >> i like this one completely. >> that is the box. >> reporter: really? not once, but twice. i go with this one. >> this is the box. >> reporter: this is the box? >> yeah. >> reporter: i'm 2 for 2? i like the boxed wine on the red and the white.

go figure. once again, cheap date! >> some things never change. >> i'm tara and i like boxed wine and proud of it. the manager of the wine shop, we visited. he said the past year he has seen dramatic increase in the number of increase in the demand. this time last year, he was selling one box of wine a week and now selling 18 boxes a week. >> must be good. >> they stack so much better in your closet! >> exactly. we have a taste test. i brought back this from spain. a red velvety smooth wine and one is boxed and one is middle of the road. >> i think i know which one it is. >> taste it and savor it and record it in your mind. i hope you're thirsty. >> betty is double fisted. >> i'm triple fisting it! >> i say box is two. >> i say box is one. >> i thought one was pretty decent. >> believe it or not, number one is the most expensive. box was three. that is about $5 a bottle when

you break down the box. >> i thought 2 and 3 were somewhat similar even but one was pretty good. >> at least i like the most expensive one but at least i was wrong. >> try it this weekend. >> it's from spain and velvety and elegant and balanced just like you, jeff, just like you. >> that's it for us. we have some work to do. we will see you monday. >> cheers, everybody.
