good morning, thursday, april 5, 2012. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. a major development in the case against jetblue pilot who broke down midflight. plus new video of the moments before passengers tackled him. i'm gayle king. the u.s. puts a $10 million bounty out for a top terror suspect. what does he do? he holds a news conference and says, come and get me. i'm erica hill. tiger woods and the rest of the field tee off at the masters today and for a little preview, we'll check in with jim nantz in augusta. we begin with a look at today's "eye opener" your world in 90 seconds. this is not the time for

president obama's hide and seek campaign. >> mitt romney turns his focus to the fall. >> obama versus romney is unofficial under way. >> while rick santorum makes a home state stand. >> barack obama referred to this as a place that clings to thursday guns. >> this isn't the scene sports drama where the coach gives speech. this is where hilary swank bumps her head and never boxes again. >> the case against a yet blue captain's midair meltdown takes a turn. >> federal prosecutors think osbon has, quote, a mental disease or defect. >> jetblue is charging $35 extra if you want a pilot who isn't insane. >> the final coroner's report on whitney houston's death says she had cocaine in her system and a white powder nearbuy. >> doingle is releasing details

about glasses which tells you all about your surroundings. >> the miami marlins have a new name, new players, a new look and a new ballpark. >> jose reyes gets escorted by brazilian dancers. >> this is what happened when a truck runs into a sign. >> a hero dog took a bullet. >> and all that matters. >> explodes on the drive. >> on "cbs this morning." welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with a surprise in the case of captain clayton osbon. prosecutors say they suspected pilot of jetblue flight 191 has a mental disorder that would

make him incompetent to stand trial. >> and that, of course, raises all kinds of questions over osbon's state of mind before flight 191 even took off. bob orr is in amarillo, texas, this morning, where the plane made its emergency landing last week. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica and charlie. well, captain osbon was supposed to be in court for a bail hearing. as you say, that hearing is off and there's a real question whether the criminal case can go forward. prosecutors want clayton osbon to undergo a psychiatric exam to find out if it's competent to stand trial. in a motion filed late wednesday, the government suggested osbon's midairmeltdown last week may have been last weeriggered by mental illn. now a judge ordered he be evaluated in a prison hospital to determine, quote, if osbon is presently suffering from a mental disease or defect rendering him mentally incompetent and if he's unable to understand the nature and

procedures against him. comes as cbs news has obtained new video of captain osbon before his breakdown. >> had all the makings of completely coming apart. >> reporter: passenger took these pictures after he noticed osbon left the cockpit abruptly and began acting strangely in the passenger cabin. you can see osbon talking with jetblue coworkers and drinking water. at one point, a flight attendant walks away and osbon reaches out to her. >> i at least wanted to have something cap toured so that, god for bid, the woman was found in a field somewhere, maybe there was a hint, some tip for someone to say, hey, what might have been going on here. >> reporter: just moments after these pictures were taken, the in-flight crisis erupted. at the urging of the flight crew, passengers tackled osbon. jetblue ceo says the airline will aid osbon and their family in whatever their needs may be. >> from our perspective, we'll

be part of the investigation, very supportive of the captain and the family and we'll see what the days ahead lead to. >> reporter: osbon who has already spent six days in an amarillo hospital and three more days in jail, has entered no plea to the charge he interfered with a flight crew, but his wife has said osbon never intended to cause harm. now, in a sense doctors here will render the first verdict because if they find that osbon is not mentally capable of standing trial, there's a chance down the road that prosecutors will kick the charge loose. charlie, erica? >> bob orr, thank you very much. cbs news legal analyst jack ford is with us. welcome. >> good morning, charlie. >> what's your assessment of this, your reaction to this? >> not surprised at all. at least at this juncture. everybody knows what happened. the real question is, what's going on in his mind? what's causing all of this to happen? the criminal justice system takes a look at what your intent is at the time. so, i think it's not surprising that everybody's saying, wait a minute, slow down a little bit because clearly he's having

problems even assisting his own defense. and as a consequence, that's not terribly unusual for a court to say, let's get an analysis done here to see if we can move forward. >> is it as simple as you're saying you're incompetent to stand trial, you're not ponsible for your actions? >> two separate questions. right now we're at the threshold. the threshold is simply, can we move forward with this case? in order to move forward, it's a lower standard, have you to show you understand the nature of charges against you and you can assist. the bigger question is are you criminally responsible for the conduct inside the plane at that point in time? that's an insanity type of defense, where you've got to prove then that you didn't -- you didn't understand the nature and consequences of what you were doing or if you did understand them, you still don't have the ability to understand it was wrong. >> those are the things moving forward. one thing we haven't talked much about is the impact, too, because we're waiting on so many thing from that angle. but the impact on the airline. is there any -- is there anything legally that any of those -- do any of those

passengers have a claim against jetblue? is that something they're concerned about? >> i'm sure the airline is concerned. first thing they want to do is get this resolved because they want to make it clear, it in their minds, they to want show this was just an episode nobody could have anticipated. sort of an explosive episode no one saw coming because that would help them in terms of liability claims. >> we were talking briefly before we went on the air, as we're trying to figure out, as doctors are trying to figure out actually what happened and what's going on inside, likely something medical or something involving mental health, that they need to know that, too, before they can let clayton osbon free. >> you have to understand, from the prosecutor's position, they're looking at what happened here and they're looking at his background. i'm sure that they're saying, odds are, this was a mental health issue rather than a criminal issue. but they can't just let him go. they have to keep a hook into him, essentially, until there's some determination of what caused this and whether he's under control or not. >> you mention there's some concern about, if he's not a threat to a community? >> exactly.

>> charges aside. >> everybody is looking at this -- if you asked 100 people, 9 9 probably said has to be a consequence of medical problem or mental health issues. a prosecutor has to be sure of that before they go forward. what's unusual is the prosecution joined in and they said, we to want find out if we should go forward. >> is that unusual? >> it's usually the defense. here they're working together. prosecutor said, let's get this decided before we go any further. >> thank you. great to see you. we turn to politics after his clean sweep in tuesday's republican primary, mitt romney's looking ahead to november. >> he responded to president obama's first direct attack on him. jan crawford is in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. good morning, charlie. he basically declared victory in the gop race so now we're seeing romney turning his attention to what he sees as the two obstacles in his path -- president obama and the press. >> i'm offering a clear choice and a different path.

and unlike the president, i have a record i'm proud to run on. >> reporter: romney's speech to a room full of journalists offered sharp lines of attack against a president and help in keeping mr. obama honest. >> his intent is on hiding. you and i have to do the seeking. >> reporter: romney said the president would spend the campaign twisting the truth, and president obama used the same stage to open a fierce attack on the proposed republican budget. >> it's thinly veiled darwinism. it is antethitical to our land of opportunity and upward mobility. >> reporter: romney, whose gaffes on the campaign trail have been fodder, lamented what he called a new era of journalism. >> today it's about what brand of jeans i'm wearing or what i

had for lunch. i find myself missing the presence of editors to exercise quality control. >> reporter: in his running criticism of the president and the press, one rival romney did not mention was rick santorum. on the trail in his home state of pennsylvania for what may end up being his last stand. >> i'm asking you to help out a person who has some roots in this neck of the woods. >> reporter: but there is not good news out of pennsylvania for santorum. latest polls have him trailing romney 42% to 37%. that is a big change since last month. romney has picked up 17 points and santorum has dropped 6. that suggests pennsylvania republicans aren't rolling out the welcome mat for their home state guy. they have major doubts about his ability to win that primary and the general election. >> jan, if romney gets the nomination, as everybody seems to be predicting now, will the santorum supporters be prepared to support him in the general election? >> reporter: oh, i think so, charlie, because what everyone

is excited about in the republican party is beating barack obama. we've got some new polls out that show they're not all excited about mitt romney, only 11% in a recent poll say they're excited if romney is the nominee. 49% say they're satisfied. what they are motivated about is, as newt gingrich said last night, getting barack obama out of the white house. gingrich was interesting last night. he was saying, look, we all talk, we're going to come together because we may not agree among ourselves in our republican party about who should be the nominee, but we all agree anyone would be better than the president in the white house right now. i think that's what you're going to see as this primary starts turning into a general election fight against president obama. >> jan crawford, thanks. two important terror suspects are maybing news. saeed accused of master mine of the deadly mumbai attacks held a news conference in pakistan on wednesday, one day after the u.s. put a $10 million bounty on his head. he taunted the u.s. saying, i'm here. >> meanwhile the pg says

admitted 9/11 plotter khalid shaikh mohammed is about to go on trial at guantanamo naval base and john miller is with us. he worked on these cases as a top official with the fbi and also with the director of national intelligence. welcome. >> good to be here. >> let me go first to the case of this $10 million bounty. why now? why this amount? why this bounty? >> well, yesterday u.s. officials were trying to be clear that this is not about -- in response to his news conference about coming in, trying to be clear about, this is not trying to figure out where he is. we know where he is. we know where he is every day. this is about putting pressure on pakistan. now, they said, trying to get someone to come forward with the information that would lead to his arrest and conviction. they're looking for witnesses and evidence to conect him to mumbai. but i think this is really to put pressure on pakistan to kind of say, well, if you can't come up with this evidence, we'll find the people who can give it to you. >> so, if you look at this case

now, is it likely because of the tension between the u.s. and pakistan that they will be able -- they will be responding to this effort by the united states? >> well, pakistan responded yesterday by surrounding saeed's house with police guards to give him security, i guess, from their expectation maybe a visit from navy s.e.a.l.s. he's actually quite a remarkable figure within this world. he's the founder of tiba, the group responsible for the mumbai attacks. he has -- that group has been called the next al qaeda. better organized, better funded and more sophisticated than al qaeda. of course, the mumbai attacks is the case where along with 166 other people, 365 wounded, 6 of the dead were americans, which from a legal standpoint the u.s. says, that's a criminal charge that should be tried here. >> there's also the story about khalid shaikh mohammed, mastermind of the september 11th

attacks and four others tried in a military court in guantanamo. what's your thinking on that? >> well, to some extent this is going to be a bit of kabuki theater, ksm has admitted to the charges. he made a statement promoting himself, if you will, as the mastermind. he said he wants to be executed because he believes it will make him a martyr. so, that will -- that will be kind of what he's looking for. now, the u.s. needs this as part of process, the trial and either need to sentence him to life or death, but he'll look at this as a platform. >> he's also admitted he killed an dpany pearl. >> he beheaded danny pearl he admitted. forensic and evidence and other intelligence has really shown us that he's probably right about that. >> good to have you here. >> good to be here. >> thanks. next time you go to the doctor, you may get fewer tests and treatment. on wednesday, nine medical societies representing some

375,000 doctors called for much less routine testing of patients. >> they specifically listed 45 procedures they say are overused. among them, ekgs during routine physicals, mris for back pain, c.a.t. scans for fainting and imaging tests for some early cancer cases. with us is director of "consumer reports" health rating system. you were a general internist for 30 years. why now and why these tests? >> well, because we've got a health care system that's costing us a fortune. it's devastating some consumers who have serious health problems. and when you're hearing 30% of what we're doing may be unnecessary, we feel fortunate to be partnering with these nine organizations of physicians to try to do something about that. by getting doctors and patients to do something. >> as you know, doctors fear

malpractice lawsuits. one of the reasons some doctors say they order tests up is because they don't want to be sued and they want to protect themselves, even though they may have some questions as to whether it's necessary. >> well, that's a factor. there's no question about it. but realize that these are tests and treatments that are not only not needed but in some cases may do harm. so, it's working both ways here. >> harm because they cause anxiety and stress? >> harm because they find things that aren't there. an additional test and treatments are done and you find out that, well, gee, they didn't really have this problem to begin with. >> so do you believe, then, that some of these tests are actually inaccurate? >> no. the tests are accurate. but realize a test can be 99% accurate but that 1%, if you're doing it on people who don't

need it in the first place, that 1% can suffer. that's what's happening. >> at the core of this, though, is this question -- are doctors suggesting patients take tests because they want to make money or because they believe the tests are not necessary? what's the reason a doctor would do this? >> well, malpractice, money, advertising and promotion that confuses everybody, those are all factors. there's shared responsibility here. consumers, many of whom are misinformed by advertising and promotion, are coming in and asking for tests and treatment they don't -- >> what's the responsibility of a doctor if a patient asks for a test? >> we think the responsibility is to sit down, look that patient in the eye and say, i need to have a serious conversation with you. my professional society, consumer organizations like consumer reports and aarp say, you need to do some thinking about this. this test, this treatment may not be needed in your case.

>> thank you, doctor. >> thank you. >> it is time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. "the seattle times" reports on workers stress at amazon.com, some workers in the warehouse say they're pushed to the limit to fill orders. three former workers in kentucky say they were told to manage injuries so they would not have to be reported to the government. amazon says its safety record is better than most of its competitors. >> the l.a. times has whitney houston's final autopsy report released on wednesday. the coroner said she drowned in a bathtub of scalding water so hot that houston actually had burn on her body. signs of cocaine and drug paraphernalia were found nearby. heart disease and cocaine use are listed as contributing factor you.

pilot who was also a politician. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there is new information this morning from the remarkable story we brought you about a grandmother who had to land a small plane after her husband collapsed in the cockpit. >> tape-recordings of the cockpit show how amazingly calm and collected she was. jim axelrod is here with the story. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. 80-year-old helen collins faced a harrowing situation. she hadn't flown an airplane over 30 years and over sturgeon bay, wisconsin she had to take controls midflight helen's husband john had a heart attack and slumped over in the pilot saet seat as they flew in a small two-engine cessna. helen who had little pilot experience, none in this situation, took the controls and called 911 for help. a veteran flight instructor coached helen as her husband robert fired up his plane to guide helen's cessna to the runway. >> hi, kathy.

hell of a place to be. >> i know. but it sounds like you're doing great. you don't ever want the air speed to get below 100. you probably know that, right? >> yes, do i. >> reportr: up in the air, robert coached helen through >> pitch up, pitch up, pitch up, helen. you're turning too sharp. fly south. keep going south of the airport. >> i'm getting all these instructions and i'm not paying attention to where i'm flying. >> i'll be joining up with you here in about two minutes. >> hurry up. >> reporter: flying in formation, robert was able to give helen detailed instructions. >> i'm up on the power a little bit. about the same amount of movement as did you before. >> you want me to put more flaps down? >> push the power up, pushing throttle up a little bit, then another notch of flaps down. you might have to trim back to put the nose up. >> reporter: helen headed in for an emergency landing. after the plane bounced, skidding across a grassy area, the front landing gear collapsed and the plane stopped.

its nose smacked into the ground. >> what's amazing about this, courage is grace under stress -- >> well, this is a little stress. >> and courage, too. she's remarkable. >> you know, i'm sure you've done this yourself. you sit on a small plane you think, gee, if something happened to the pilot, could i slide in there and do it? for me when i think about it, the answer is always no. >> me as well. as you mentioned, she had flown in the past. it had been 30 years, but we know how much time this couple seemed to spend flying to visit family and friends. that must have helped. >> they used to -- they used to do these angel flights, when somebody needs medical attention, they would fly them for free. john would fly and she would often make meals for the family on the plane. she's got a cracked vertebra but we're told she'll be out of the hospital in a couple days. remarkable. >> tell us about him. >> he was a wonderful man and spent a lot of his life, obviously, doing this -- sort of these angel flights but he was

pronounced dead, you know, he died behind the controls. >> wow. hell of a story. >> jim, thanks. >> thank you, jim. the drones that you've heard so much about, they've been so effective in fighting terror overseas, turns out they're coming to america. we'll take a look at why and what it means for your privacy. this is "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... ...with humira. for many adults with moderate to severe ra,... ...humira's proven to help relieve pain and stop joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events can occur, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, blood, liver, and nervous system problems,... ...serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb.

now they are coming here. >> president obama signed a bill that opens u.s. air space to thousands of these unmanned aircraft. jeff glor has been looking into it for us and he joins us for more. good morning. >> good morning. drones are where personal computers were in the early '80s. about to be part of our everyday lives. the question is, are we ready? >> reporter: they come in just about any size you want. as large as a passenger plane, as small as a hummingbird. unmanned aerial vehicles, as most people know them, drones. >> there's no stopping this technology. anyone who thinks they can put this genie back in the box, that's silliness. >> reporter: peter singer, a military expert and perhaps the country's foremost authority on drones has watched them dramatically alter the american battlefield overseas. and he says they're about to become the next big thing at home. >> their technologies not only

give you capabilities you couldn't have imagined a generation earlier, but also technologies that cause questions, that you are asking yourself a generation earlier. >> reporter: this is lakota, north dakota, sparsely populated but heavily debated. this is the first known site a drone was used to dough mess a citizen. a rancher accused of refusing to return a herd of cows that wandered onto his land. when police tried to move in, the family allegedly greeted them with loaded weapons. you think this was an easy call. so sergeant bill mackey, who runs the s.w.a.t. team in nearby grand forks, called in reinforcements. specifically, a predator drone, a massive aircraft that up until now most people associate with hell fire missiles and terrorist strikes. >> this was a dispute over cattle and a predator drone was called in. too much?

>> i can't get into what the dispute was over. what i can tell you is the s.w.a.t. team wasn't there over a property dispute. the s.w.a.t. team was called out to render assistance, reference armed subjects, and using unmanned aerial vehicle, seemed appropriate in this instance. >> reporter: research lawyer is looking at challenging the drone use, a potential test case for the rest of the country because the rest of the country is about to get a lot more of them. everyone wants an eye in the sky. real estate agents to view properties, farmers to find thirsty crops, energy companies to build pipelines, and local police departments want to launch neighborhood surveillance flights for hard to find criminals. you think the faa was dragging its feet? >> no question about it. that's why we acted. >> reporter: they just passed legislation the faa estimates

will put 10,000 drones in the sky by 2017. the catch -- >> the issues involved with robotics go well beyond safety. >> reporter: singers while legislation did put in place rules to prevent drones from colliding with jets, it did little clarify who can operate them and who can be watched. >> that drone is not just what's happening at that specific scene. it's picking up everything else that's going on. basically, it's sort of recording footage from a lot of people that it didn't have their approval to record footage. >> you're sitting in your backyard in florida on a weekend, you see a drone flying overhead. that concern you? >> well, it might. i think it would be like everyone else concerned about aircraft coming close to my property and invading it from above. >> reporter: right now should people be worried that big

brother's coming to watch them? >> well, there's always that concern but there are means of tracking folks through their cell phones, their computer usage. we live in a new age. >>. >> reporter: this is where they get made? >> the factory. >> reporter: aero environment is where 90% of the military small drones are made. it's a factory floor we needed defense department clearance to enter. drones for local police departments, next big market. does the average person understand how much these can see right now? >> the average person probably doesn't even realize that these small backpackable systems are used as extensively as they have been. >> reporter: steve gave us a tour. and a rare infield demonstration. this is the raven. how heavy is this? >> with that camera it's about 4 1/2 pounds. >> reporter: and four feet wide. what it lacks in size it makes up for in camera quality.

just looking at it like this, right? >> yes. witch right here steers the camera around, wherever you want to look, look left, a little to the left. >> reporter: so you can take a look and see some contents in the back of that truck. doesn't miss much, does it? >> it's pretty good. >> people are going to use it for both good and bad. it's going to raise incredible new opportunities, but also incredible new challenges. >> reporte: singer believes that for every local police department trying to keep people safe, a less well intentioned operator may be intent to using drones for no good. right now there's little to prevent either side from doing whatever they want. >> like it or not, unmanned systems are the future. unfortunately, we're really not ready for them. and everything from our policies to our laws to the deep, deep

ethical questions. >> this is one of those classic cases, good and bad. science will not be stopped. >> as we said in the beginning, it's where personal computers were about 30 years ago, the horseless carriage was in 1910. nobody knew what was going to happen. we just knew it was going to happen. and the question is, as we sat here, are we ready and how do we accommodate for what's about to happen? >> beyond that, who gets them? >> well, primarily at first it's going to be local law enforcement. they want these because they want to spend, let's say, $50,000 on a drone instead of spending $50,000 on a cruiser. so, they can help in some of these missions. and then finding someone who might be missing, an elderly person who wandered off, a criminal who might be hard to catch. that is likely up first. >> so much more we to want ask you but we're out of time. >> the other question here is, you know, the person who wants to build it in their backyard. i mean, are they going to apply for a certificate of authorization to the faa?

>> i would think no. just build it and put it up in the sky. >> great at the masters i'm told smartphone is on a re-energized tiger woods but plenty of rivals hot on his trail. we'll check in with jim nantz. you're watching "cbs this morning." a beautiful shot of augusta.

the story called "frozen assets" raises many questions about the booming business of sperm banks. jeffr jeffrey edited the story. it's a fascinating read. not something i would have imagined we would be talking about but america is, in fact, the gold standard of sperm. >> absolutely. >> how? why? >> well, as with any other good product, the two keys are quality control and versatility, variety of product. we have very, very strict fda controls on how -- who can donate and how heavily they have have to be screened. we also have a multiethnic population which means we're very appealing to the world because people can come in from japan, from brazil, anywhere else and find a genetically ethnically matching baby. >> do you have another word for sperm? i've been thinking -- >> exosensual essence. >> oh, wow. >> it's the image it conjures

up. i'm going to grade school with cartoon characters swimming around. >> with a smiley face. what surprised me about this when i first saw what this story was, rather than the fact they had better standards, i thought somehow there was some exceptional thing about american sperm. >> well, we would like to think that. >> that's not it, though. it's better standards. >> yeah. it's not reproductive exceptionalism. it's simply we control the industry better. apparently we have a great many enthusiastic donors. >> and it's very lucrative. >> men are paid, again, based on quality, so a man of a certain height with a certain level of health with a ph.d. can make $500 per -- >> tall, smart man. >> the cut off is 5'9" so i've been disqualified. >> it does raise a number of issues. we've seen come to light over the last few years. children who want to know who the sperm donor was. >> sure, sure. >> and then go off and find that person who may or may not want to be found.

that raises legal questions. >> sure. >> when a man donates permanent, is there a document that he can sign that says, even if some kid comes looking for me, i don't want to be held financially responsible, i needed 50 bucks, don't come calling after that? >> absolutely. there's a document that that man can sign, and it is enforceable only between him and the sperm clinic, though. it's completely unenforceable in any domestic court. americans court decide all of these issues in the best interest of the child. and are not interested in what a sperm clinic and a donor have to say. so if a child comes in and a judge says you should pay this child -- >> how much is the fear a sibling might find themselves in a relationship. >> there's a british man donated enough times what he believes are 1,000 children in relatively close geographical close proximity. the author of jay newton small

who did terrific research on this. she wrote about a man who has at least 70 children and perhaps as many as 140 in the u.s. and canada. and there is a risk that some of these half sibs could meet and become romantic. >> something to think about. >> just because you have an american sperm donor, does that make you an american citizen? >> absolutely not. this is one area in which the law becomes clear. men can choose to help their offspring as many soldiers did during the vietnam war. but you don't have any obligation. >> it is fascinating stuff, "time"

it is day one of the masters and people i know are so excited. we'll talk about jim nantz when we come back. you're watching "cbs this morning."

>> wow! ladies and gentlemen, the 2012 masters is now officially begun. have fun. >> the 25th consecutive year, jim nantz will host masters coverage for cbs news. he's with us now from augusta national golf club. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. what a start it was to this tournament, as you just saw. so much emotion in the air with jack and arouernie and all thre just a beautiful morning here. we're concerned there might be severe weather in the afternoon, so those going off early, i think, have the better end of the deal and better scoring conditions because we might not see some of these guys really get their first round completed until tomorrow when it's employigoing

to be cold and windy. >> gayle king and erica hill join me in much anticipation of this year's masters. >> jim, i just have to ask you, are you as excited as charlie? erica, i have not seen charlie rose -- >> i don't think i have either. >> jim, if you could have been in the studio. he's applauding -- >> reporter: i can hear it. >> he's applauding with everything. are you as excited as he is to this game? >> more, i can tell you more. >> reporter: the lead to the piece, it sounded like sunday at the masters. if i could replicate that. maybe you should come down and do our opening. >> if that's an offer, this is an acceptance. >> reporter: this was poetry. >> charlie has to leave now to get on a plane, jim. >> reporter: come on down. >> a couple things before we start and stalk about this particular year. what's the magic of the masters? why is it by so many people viewed as the great one in terms of golf tournaments? >> reporter: i just think there's been, again, every year since 1934, this has been the side of the masters tournament,

not a major championship that moves around, rotates, comes back every six or seven years like the other three majors. they're not held at the same site every year. and then all the history, every single hole here has its own portfolio of magic all moments. people know, they're familiar with the golf course when they're watching at home. the timing's just right, it's springtime, it just feels good. we've waited eight months since the last major was contested, the pga championship. this year in particular, everybody's coming in here on go, from tiger right on through the other upper esh l eper eche, all ready to make a run at the green jacket. >> let's talk about tiger. are people really excited to see him? what's the word about tiger woods being there? >> reporter: he won arnold palmer's event at bay hills, which was his first official win in some 2 1/2 years. he hasn't won a major championship since 2008. but i think most people would say that his game is in the kind of shape right now that this is

his best opportunity to win a major in four years. i think he's more primed, more confident right now. his game more, you know, physically just right where it needs to be. the shots are there. just a matter of him coming out here and executing and seeing what he can do. still takes a lot to win. you still need some great things to happen. you still need to hole a shot from a fareway or make a 40-foot putt. he's not the only guy coming with his game in top shape. >> what about rory mcilroy. >> reporter: good question. just a 22-year-old kid, reigning united states champion, winning by eight shots. he has the potential to really take golf by the reins here and be the dominant player for the next ten years. he had this tournament last year through 54 holes. he was 4 shots up, had a sunday meltdown, shot 80. and then the way he conducted himself after that was really horrific final day was still so gracious in defeat and came back and won, as i mentioned, a

couple months later at the u.s. open. this kid is the next great thing, if you don't consider him already to be the next great thing. he's an awesomely talented kid who could very well be the winner here come sunday afternoon. >> there's another name we always add to the mix at the masters, phil mickelson. how is he set up for this one? >> reporter: well, look, phil's won here three times. he won in 2004, 2006, 2010. only on even number years, charlie. now, i don't know if you notice that in that clip you ran a minute ago, but this is to me, this tells a lot about phil mickelson. he was on that tee a few minutes ago for the shots. in his green jacket. now, consider his tee time today is at 2:30. he is in the last group out in the first round. some seven hours away. and he was out here to watch them play. otherwise he would have come out here maybe five hours later. but here he was to see the first shot, the appreciation he has for the men who really popularized this sport around the world.

i thought it was a neat thing. identify never seen -- i've never missed opening shots in my 27 years of coming to augusta. it was really neat to see phil mickelson come out here on a day of competition to support those three men. >> and before you go, jim, erica, do you like golf? >> i actually do like watching it. my husband is a golfer. i'm not. but i actually like watching it. >> i have to say my eyes glaze over with golf. for those who really love the game, taking the masters out of it, charlie, why do you love this game so much? they say it's about hitting the ball, nothing like hitting the ball. what is it about the game you love so much? >> for one thing, it's very difficult. that's number one. number two, each green is different. each green offers you unique challenges to you, the approach. it's also green grass, blue skies, sand, water. what do you like? >> four hours to yourself out there? >> and it's a great game for camaraderie among friends. >> reporter: let me pitch in and

answer, gayle. in tennis, every tennis court basically is the same. sure, the surface can be different. it can be grass, it can be clay, but if you've got a tennis tournament going on in hawaii, if you frame it up for the television audience, even if you're on the court competing, it may look identical to being at wimbledon. >> yeah. >> reporter: by and large. sure, the surface is different but dynamics are the same. no two golf courses are the same. it's an international sport. it connects the on world. we love nfl and baseball -- >> jim, i have to break you -- >> reporter: i got you. we'll see you this weekend. >> happy for you, jim. it's great to see. 27 years jim nantz has been there. cbs will have the final two rounds of the masters live from augusta national. cbs sports coverage begins at 3:30 eastern time on saturday and on sunday. final round coverage at 2:00. a taste test. ng ocean spray cranberry juice versus vegetable juice. first the cranberry. mm! tasty. now, the vegetable juice,

creative writing teaching at one of the kids' apartments on the upper west side in new york. over the course of ten weeks they paid me $5,000 apiece to teach them how to write fiction. i'm one of these -- i'm very passionate. finally, a very good teacher and a very good guy, possessed honesty, authenticity, soulfulness but at the beginning i teach in such a way that's rough. these are people who want to be involved in creative things. that means that they have to be -- bring all of themselves to it and learn quick and hard lessons. so i rip band-aids off psychologically and ego wise and much suffering and gnashing of teeth. >> it was fun to watch. >> it is very raw. it's a thinking play, like gayle said. >> smart. >> very smart. so well written. but it's really engaging and very funny. a lot of these stereotypes that people can relate to.

you don't have to be living in new york, obviously. you really see a lot of these things but you're also a teacher in other aspects of your life when you're not doing the acting thing. what kind of a teacher are you? >> i love to teach. in fact, it's humbling and educational for me. i've taught for the last 20, 30 years. whenever i'm not teaching, i teach acting. it keeps evolving the way his character is, but i'm a very passionate teacher. i love to do it. i had great teachers myself, sanford meissner, william, a brilliant teacher and i wanted to do acting very badly. i was given a gift of passion early on. in high school i would write on my shower door when it was steaming, i would write, please, god, let me be an actor, and then wipe it off. i know about passion and how arts can change your life. but what it takes to do it. i'm a tough -- i can be a tough

teacher. anyway, it gets my blood boiling when i teach. i'm very stimulated and hope stimulating and it's healthy for me, too. you know, in contrast acting where you're trying to put your best foot forward and my ego is a little involved in it. acting, what they think of me and all that. acting is automatically for me a very healthy, what can i do to help them? >> but you clearly, jeff, still have passion for the craft. listen, i've been smitten with you for a long time. you totally freaked me out with the fly. took me a long time. but you still remain an enigma to a lot of people. it was written you described yourself as a weird gentleman. do you feel that about yourself? i would have said eccentric, quirky. weird sounds not so good. >> no. i don't know how that came out. >> that's what i'm asking. it was quoted that's what you said about yourself. i said, i bet he never describes himself that way. >> i don't think i said that. >> you seem very mysterious. you have a way of being

sarcastic and also very smart at the same time. >> yeah? >> i think so. don't you? i can see how people could get that, you know. i don't know. you know, this great teacher, sanford, encouraged us to be unlike anybody else. encouraged us to find our voices loo like this guy is telling his students to be. you know, don't copy anybody else, he said. we encouraged you to be original -- >> there is nobody like you. in all the good ways. >> you're so sweet. >> what do you like about it after all this time? why do you still like it, the job you do? >> that's a good question. i love it more than ever. it can be scary -- well, you know, working with people, with terrific people, like theresa with this material. people who are -- >> who wrote this play. >> that's right. she's brilliant. it's brilliant about the human adventure. that interests me a lot. and you have to get involved in

does it get old? >> i don't mind it. people are always nice about it. i'm fine with it. >> you know what's bad about it? i've been doing debbie downer for so long. when you have a conversation i say, won't be debbie downer. i thought i had made it up. i forgot that you're the one that started that. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> thank you. here you are, snl, you write in your book, i love the title "girl walks into a bar" that snl is the best job you can have as a comedian because you look back on those days -- >> it's the dream job. you can't believe you're there. i was on it for seven years. i would still walk around like, i'm on "saturday night live." i had pinch-me moments after seven years. >> you heard the news today -- or did you hear -- >> what? >> that jason -- >> i wondered if that was true or not. >> it's unconfirmed, speculation they may be leaving. would that surprise you? do you think everybody has a time when you go, okay, that's enough? >> you can't stay there forever, you know, have you to go at some
