good morning. it is friday, april 13, 2012. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. north korea's failed rocket launch also sets off an international firestorm as the u.s. call it is a provocative act. we'll talk with pulitzer prize winning author thomas friedman. i'm gayle king. democratic pundit apologizes under pressure for saying that mitt romney's wife, a mother of five, never worked a day in her life. into the ongoing war for the women's vote. and i'm erica hill. rushing into a burning home to save his neighbor. it happened last night. this morning he's out of the hospital and here to talk to us. first as we do every morning, we begin with a look at

today's eye-opener. your world in 90 seconds. this has been a tragedy in the state of new hampshire this evening. >> a sleepy new england town is rocked after a standoff turns deadly. >> the city's police chief killed, four other officers injured. two in intensive care. >> he's eight days away from retirement. it's just not fair. >> it is no sputnik. >> north korea's long-range missile test ends in failure. >> moments after launch the missile crashed into the yellow sea. >> this is the new leader, by the way, of north korea. the future potentially rests in the hands of korean chaz bono. and hilary rosen apologizing after seeing the wife of mitt romney saying she never worked a day in her life. >> my career choice was to be a mother. we need to respect choices that women make. >> my own mom, a single mom raising me and my sister, that's

work. he said making student comments hurt the president. that's my job. she has no right. in modesto, california, serving an eviction notice when gunfire broke out. the apartment building burst into flames. a judge ruled there is enough evidence to hold george zimmerman on charges he murdered trayvon martin. >> booker held as a hero. he saved a neighbor from a burning building. >> a very small car seems to be hitting a very large car. >> look how cute that dog is. where was i? oh, yeah. >> on cbs "this morning." >> 54 years old today. congratulations. you look great. >> actually i'm 65. i just don't count the 11 years i was at nbc.

captioning funded by cbs welcome to cbs "this morning." north korea's latest missile test lasted about a minute 1/2. >> ignoring warnings from the u.s. and other countries in launching the rocket that could some day carry a nuclear warhead. >> reporter: this is a setback for north korean missile program and embarrassment to its leaders. the question becomes what will the north do in an attempt to recoup the damage done to its already battered image? this is the rocket north korea launched 12 hours ago early on their friday morning. but the much anticipated launch turned out to be a dismal failure. the rocket was supposed to follow a path taking it due south, but it broke apart just 90 seconds after liftoff falling into the yellow sea 100 miles

west of seoul, south korea. it was tracked by u.s. ships, satellites and radars and officials say it was never a threat. and no debris fell on land. north korea says this earth observation satellite was onboard. the launch was supposed to put it into orbit to monitor crops and forests. the launch occurred in the midst of celebrations marking the formal ascension to power of north korea's new leader, 28-year-old kim jung un who replaced his late father. u.s. officials like hillary clinton said it could carry a nuclear warhead. after the failure, the white house called the launch a provocative act that violates international law. north korean state television acknowledged the failure, but so far offered no explanation for what went wrong. a statement issued by the white house says north korea is wasting its money on weapons and propaganda while it's people go hungry.

>> david martin, thank you very much. in other u.s. politics during the past week the presidential race has become a battle for the women's vote. >> and it is a fight that has been heating up considerably, especially since thursday when president obama had to call out one of his supporters for going too far. norah o'donnell is at the white house this morning. norah, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. while the so-called war on women has now turned into the mommy wars. it started with democratic strategist hilary rosen said that ann romney, who raised five boys, has never worked a day in her life. well, the democrats had to do quick cleanup on that or risk sending stay @home moms and losing the women's vote. the war on women became a war over words. so politically dangerous, the administration distanced itself from rosen almost immediately. there was the president -- >> there's no tougher job than being a mom. anybody who would argue otherwise, i think, probably

needs to rethink their statement. >> reporter: and the vice president. >> that's an outrageous assertion. >> reporter: even a tweet from the first lady in which she said, every mother works hard, but hilary rosen who is not part of the obama campaign, seemed to question whether ann romney, a wealthy woman, has worked hard as a mother. >> guess what? his life is actuwife has actual worked a day in her life. >> ann romney responded quickly saying raising five boys was plenty hard. >> we need to respect choices women make. >> reporter: under pressure, rosen apologized writing in a statement, gender equality is not a talking point for me. it is an issue i live every day. a apologize to ann romney and anyone else offended. rosen said the debate is about much more in this year's election. >> this isn't about whether ann romney or i or other women of, you know, some means can afford to make a choice to stay home and raise kids. most women in america, let's

face it, don't have that choice. >> look, i know what it's like to struggle, and it's -- if maybe i haven't struggled as much financially as some people have i can tell you and promise you that i've had struggles in my life. >> reporter: the political debate about women and the workplace is certainly not new. remember these comments from hillary clinton 20 years ago? >> you know, i suppose i could have stayed home and baked cookies, but what i decided to do was fulfill my profession. >> reporter: this debate is far from over. women make up 53% of the voting elick trck trit. president obama sleedi is leadi romney by 19 points among women. >> thanks. we'll talk now to thomas friedman, pulitzer prize-winning author with the "new york times." you watch american politics closely. how do you size up what this is

and what it says about the campaign and the way american politics work? >> charlie, this is essentially an example of false indignation of, oh, my god what did hilary rosen say today about women? i think what you're seeing here, it's not that there was an important point, when you have a close race like this that is so close, you need every vote, particularly if you're in romney's case. 19 points behind on women, you're going to seize on anything. everyone knows the point hilary rosen was trying to make but this was a chance to jump on it, use it as a wedge to get more votes. it's going to be like this every day. >> you see this as an important but also a close race? >> hugely important, but the way it's being fought. both guys looking for 50.0001% to win. nobody's going big. it's going to be about the little issues, unfortunately. >> turn to north korea. so what does north korea do now, first of all, and secondly, is

the united states forced to simply deny the food aid? >> you know, north korea -- how long are they going with this gig, charlie? this is looking for dignity in ale the wrong places. looking for dignity trying to fill the nuclear delivery system, and look what happens. the thing lands up in the ocean. you know? at some point they've got to stop this blackmail. i'm going to hold my breath until you turn blue. guess what? we're not going to turn blue. you're going to turn blue. your people are starving. all right? how long is this gig going to go on. we're in the third generation of jim jong whoeve jim -- kim jong. >> the grandson. >> i think at some point you just hope they'll be an internal discussion where they grow up, knock it off and start relating to the world and their own people in a realistic way. >> norah do you expect the white house to respond differently because the north koreans defied what the united states and

everybody else urged them not to do? >> reporter: publicly calling this a provocative act and watching it closely. internally administration officials i talk to said this will probably have ramifications internally. how embarrassing to invite so many high-profile media people in for this celebration and have this rocket explode just after a second and a half. certainly embarrassing for the new leader and another administration official said this is also going to have ramifications as they try and sell their military wares internationally. prospective customerless think twice about buying these things from north korea. interesting to see what happens. i said to an official, what happens next? how long does this regime last? this official said i'm not going to speculate. the fact this was embarrassing couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. of course, so many people are starving in north korea. that is -- >> two questions. realistically, does north korea even have this capability?

for success, i should say? >> absolutely. because just look at south korea. you know? what that tells you, with a different kind of government, a more open system, all the human talent is there. fle should be making microwaves, not rockets. >> so it is there? >> absolutely. >> just misfiring, literally. in terms of what norah was talking about, the deals made for food for the millions of people who are starving, a little criticism, too, about this deal between the u.s. and between north korea. talk to us a little bit about that. because people are saying, look, you knew it was never going to work in the first place. >> they do have us over this barrel, basically, which is, you know -- you know, if you don't give us food, you know, we're going to launch a rocket. we're going to starve our people. which is only going to make us more unstable. the key player here is china. it's not us. okay? this ends when china says to north korea, knock it off. okay? >> does that of happen? >> well, the chinese love korea so much, erica.

they want there to be two of them. and that's our problem. okay? >> let me turn this back to the campaign, and -- >> they don't want a united korea. >> foreign policy. the big issue jobs, gas prices, the economy, but foreign policy. what could, and what should we watch as because it might explode and change dynamics of the campaign? >> charlie, uone issue stands above all. oil and gasoline prices, and really feed into the campaign. and so i think what you're seeing by the president, political and strategic reasons is, can we get a negotiated solution to iran's nuclear ambitions. >> do you believe they're prepared to negotiate, the iranians because of sanctions. >> i think they're prepared to negotiate forever. a deeper question.

can they make a decision? is this leadership in iran so divided that if charlie says yes, eric says no. erica says no, charlie says yes. that's what's going on in iran. the scary question is can they say yes to a deal that would be of international interest? allow them some kind of nuclear power. >> thank you. a small new hampshire town in mourning after its police chief was shot and killed. >> it happen the during a drug raid. the standoff lasted through the night and into the morning. >> reporter: charlie and erica, good morning to you both. a new hampshire drug task force and local police issued a search warrant on this home here in greenland. when they arrived, a gun fight broke out. the chief of police of this small town police department was killed. nearly 30 years on the job. eight days away from retirement. he leaves behind a family, as he is a father, grandfather and also a husband.

>> he's a wonderful chief. he's eight days away from retirement. it's just not fair, because he's a working chief. he didn't shirk back and let anyone else do the work he said she wouldn't do himself. >> reporter: as for the other four police officers two in critical condition, the other two treated and released. the standoff ended overnight about 2:00 a.m. the police went into the home with a robot, found two dead bodies, one they believe of the suspected gunman, the other an unidentified female. this tragedy rocked this town. flags will fly at half-staff throughout the day. >> thank you very much. george zimmerman's next court date is a bond hearing scheduled for a week from today. he is still in custody facing murder charges for the shooting are trayvon martin. zimmerman said almost nothing at a brief court appearance. mark strassmann, good morning. >> reporter: good morning erica. at that hearing next friday george zimmerman's new lawyer will argue his client is no

flight risk. if he wanted to run he'd be long gone by now six weeks after the shooting, but there's another issue. whether zimmerman is actually safer behind bars. >> mr. zimmerman, yes, sir. >> reporter: george zimmerman's first court hearing purely procedural and lasted less than three minutes. for jailhouse protection, the second-degree murder defendant is staying alone in his cell designed for two inmates. inside or out, zimmerman's safety worries his lawyer mark amara. >>. >> what would surprise critics? >> that he truly isn't the monsters some people have made him out to be. certainly this was a tragic intersection of two young men's lives with enormously tragic consequences to one of them. >> factual evidence -- >> reporter: the special prosecutors outlined her case claiming zimmerman disregarded the police dispatcher when instructed not to follow the teenager.

zimmerman got out of his vehicle, followed martin who tried to run home. it also says sybrina fulton, martin's mother, identified screams heard in the back of a 911 call as her son's. zimmerman hid most of the six weeks he faced no charges for killing unarmed trayvon martin. he claimed it was in self-defense. but his arrest relieved many people in sanford, florida. >> i'm not going to lie to you. what went through my head, it's about time. it took them long enough. >> that's the first step towards justice in this particular case. not only do we want justice for trayvon martin and his family, we also want justice for george zimmerman. say he's proven innocent. we want justice. >> reporter: zimmerman has yet to enter a plea. that will happen in about seven weeks at his formal arraignment on may 29th. by then, charlie and erica, zimmerman hopes to be free on bond. >> thank you. for college students this is the time to get ready for final exams, and maybe find a summer

job. but university of pittsburgh students have something else to worry about. bomb threats. >> there have been dozens of them over the past few weeks and security has been stepped up. jim axelrod son the pitt pampas. campus. >> reporter: this campus at the university of pittsburgh is unlike any other college campus in america. in the last eight weeks they've faced 85 bomb threats. so far, no bombs. being a student at the university of pittsburgh these days makes security checks to get into lecture halls and midnight evacuations from your dormitory. >> i think most people are just incredibly frustrated. in classrooms you don't know if you can do your laundry, sleep the whole night in your dorm. >> reporter: law enforcement tells cbs news they believe the threats mostly made by e-mail is by the work of a prankster and not a real terror plot but the school has no choice but to treat them all the same. >> we take every threat

seriously, in this dangerous world in which we're living, we can't know with any one threat whether it's real or whether it's a hoax. >> reporter: so with each threat, out come the police dogs and search crews leaving students frustrated and parents on edge. >> my mom's a little freaked out. i do get calls from my mom saying things like, are you sure you feel safe you? don't want to come home? and they're concerned, but they're also proud of us for sticking it out. >> reporter: one man arrest brd being let go. several other suspected questioned, not charged. meanwhile, the threats come each night and with them the evacuations. >> willing to disrupt these times now, i mean, finals and graduation would be prime targets in my opinion. >> reporter: now, between 5:30 and 6:00 this morning, the five latest threats. all academic buildings, not

dormitories and already cleared. while the campus certainly wants to guard against complacency and don't want anybody feeling can you have business as usual while you have bomb threats, there is a sense on campus that life does go on, and that's because, charlie and erica, as these law enforcement officials have been telling us, they see this as a work of a prankster and not anything more sinister. >> that pravgster, hope t this national weather report

friend, gayle king. >> i said, please, let me in for this. >> i talked with her from the hospital last night. thank you, i'm okay. >> truth is you wouldn't have been here probably without her call. >> this is the thing, cory. i don't know whether to hug you or say, what are you thinking? >> well, first of all, my security -- >> detective santos, duran. these guys were incredible. got everybody out of the house. when i arrived we were pulling the last people out and the mother complaining, screaming, her daughter was still up there. >> flames. fully engiulfed. >> we climbed the stairs. something exploded. at that point, grab me, try to drag me out of there, and we had a little bit of a fight. >> and you won? >> what was the conversation? >> yeah. >> can't let you in. and -- he basically told me, this woman is going to die if we don't help her, and i let him go and without thinking twice, he

just ran into the flames and rescued this young lady. >> most people in circumstances like this always say, i wasn't thinking about the danger. i was thinking about the mission. >> you know, my first instinct, jump through the kitchen, all in flames, i actually wasn't thinking. when i got there and couldn't finder in all the smoke, looked behind me and saw the kitchen erupting with flames all over the ceiling is when i had clear thoughts i'm not going to get out of this place alive. as i told gayle, very religious. thankfully she started yelling ot to me and i was able to find her through all the smoke. i grabbed her. i got burned and she got burns on her back. >> you literally picked her out of the bed. >> not gentle. threw her over my shoulder and dragged her through the kitchen. my fear, i didn't think we would be able to get out through that kitchen. >> that was the on way out. >> the only way out. it was on the second story, we could potentially get out but i had a lot of clear thoughts about, how we're going to get out. i punched through the kitchen

and the flames. the detective grabbed her as we got her down the stairs and collapsed outside the building. >> how did you know there was somebody in? had you gotten other people out? >> yes. i was actually waiting out front. waiting for the mayor to arrive. and -- i just happened to look up and i saw through a side window that the apartment was engulfed in flames. i started banging on the door, trying to get the residents' attention, and they finally opened the door, and they had no idea that there was a fire going on in the house. >> so there weren't even fire truck there's? you let them know their apartment is on fire? >> right. that's right. >> incredible. >> then they told you somebody else is still in there? >> that's when i rolled you. literally, wouldn't answer the door. who's banging on the door? the police. your house is on fire. and at that point everybody started coming downstairs. will i arrived we helps ms. williams, the last elderly woman out saying her daughter was still trapped upstairs.

>> what did you mean, had religious thoughts? >> you know, you come to jesus moment. >> you said, i'm coming, jesus. >> yeah. >> but i may not be ready. >> i mean it was a feeling of being trapped, and you know, i couldn't see anything but the flames coming out of the kitchen and really had a moment where i thought, okay. i think i'm trapped. i think we can't get out. >> what's the smoke inhalation feel like? >> i got out. couldn't breathe. kept coughing. taking deep breaths was really hard. today, i have an incredible feeling. yesterday all my problem was really big to me. today things feel a lot more clear, and i have a lot more respect for firefighters. it's going to be fine. >> what about the woman? >> she's -- she was very disoriented. we were told -- went to different hospitals, that she had second-degree burns on her back. where i was holding her, and she didn't have, barely had a shirt on, so she had a lot of exposed

skin. i came home and didn't realize how badly burned my clothing -- >> your hand? >> no, no. my clothing. >> okay. >> so i got that on my clothing. she got that on her body. >> did you tell your mother or did she hear about it on the news? >> so like cory to say, oh, yeah, i told -- >> you've told me so many times, scold. that's the right word. i was supposed to be with her to take care of my dad and called late last night. the same mode as you were. i don't know whether to yell at you or thank you but i'm going to thank god right now. i feel very blessed. as the fire director told us, anything could have happened. those things ignite so quickly, you're luck ty to have gotten o there. >> if someone said there was smurn in a burning building you might have a chance to rescue but might also not and might end up burning alive? >> i think your imagination is always that you do the right thing. but i tell you, when you -- it

was very different for me when i was, had left -- finally got him to let go of me, went through the flames. it is a very, very scary thing. and i'd like to say that i, at that point i was feeling so courageous, but honestly, it was terrifying, and to look back, you see nothing but flames. look in front see nothing but blackness. i have a profound respect for firefighters, and my chief staff and others teased me, i'm ill-equippeded to do union negotiations for firefighters. these guys, give them everything. so, but, look. these people do this every day and aye feel like we have a country full of heroes we just don't recognize. >> a reminder of people who put themselves on the line for us. >> every day. >> thank you, detective arod. my favorite mayor booker and we're glad everybody's okay. thank you. if you are scrambling to file your taxesance you hear the clock ticking. a scam to watch out for. important stuff. a cbs news investigation next. you're watching cbs "this

st. paul, minnesota. the mississippi river. with the tax deadline approaching suppose you try to file a tax form but the irs said a company has already done it for you? then the company refuses to send you your refund until you pay a huge fee. >> sounds like a nightmare scenario. sharyl attkisson has more. turns out it's been happening to people across the country. that company is now facing several charges of tax fraud. >> do you like green eggs and ham? >> reporter: like a lot of americans, this woman and her family have had rough times. >> i'm a single mother. struggling through some mishaps last year. i lost everything. so i'm in the process of trying to rebuild. >> reporter: pretty much all she has left to rebuild with was her job in customer service in baltimore and the promise of a tax refund. >> my main goal at the time was to get this money, help pay some

bills and do things for me and my two girls. >> reporter: she went through a company called instant tax service, which offers quick and easy cash loans in advance of income tax refunds. she applied for a loan and signed a stack of papers. instant tax service started in 2000 has been hailed as a top-ten black run company. many of its 1,200 locations nationwide are in low-income areas where needy customer, attracted by promises of fast cash. as it happens, instant tax turned down nash's loan request so she told them not to file her taxes. a few weeks later she learned instant tax had filed her taxes electronically and instructed irs to send them the refund check. a check they planned to keep unless she coughed up $800 of her fees. >> they didn't have your w2 form? >> i'm thinking, this can't be.

i know i said it more than one time and i know you were clear on it. and her words to me were, yes, you did tell me not to. so why are they filed if i told you not to? >> reporter: turns out instant tax had included a tax form in the stack of loan papers she signed. which she admits she didn't read carefully and the irs doesn't require a w-2 form for e-filing. she's far from alone. cbs affiliates found similar complaints in houston. >> in no way, shape or form was i of as vdvised they would file taxs for me. >> reporter: and in charlotte, north carolina. >> getting the runaround. doors slammed in my face. >> reporter: angry customers. >> filed taxs for her two days ago. without permission or without the w-2 form. >> reporter: the better business bureau says it's received complaints about instant tax service nationwide since 2009.

vulnerable, but i'm not stupid. >> sheraryl attkisson is here. what happened with instant tax. the government file add complaint against the founder alleging pervasive tax fraud. they say basically what we said in the story. 9 company was targeting low-income customers with false and deceptive means, getting them in the office and filing their taxes without knowledge or permission and estimate in five major city ace loan the fraud amounts to $16 million. >> and ms. nash? >> she's trying to get some of her money back. to get the rest of her refund check she had to cough up $800 in fees for the files she didn't ask for. trying to get her $800 back in small claims court. >> amazing the irs wouldn't even talk to some of

bryan's real name is rick valentini. in 2001 he forged a new birth certificate and that diploma from the university of michigan and created an entirely new identity. >> there's no smoking gun in this case. but there is a lot of burning matchsticks. >> jamie's lost. we don't know we shis, and it's really sad. >> erin moriarty joins us. hello. >> good morning. >> this story surprised me, because this is the post-9/11 world and the idea that somebody could so totally hide a secret identity. he got a lot of ideas from this book. i hate to bring it here today called "the modern identity changer." but he didn't read chapter 9 obvio obviously. the one thing if you're going to change your identity, don't get caught in a traffic violation, and he got one. that's really how they ended up getting him. otherwise -- >> he had a driver's license in his real name.

a report of a republican senate now calling for action. >> reporter: jay palmer, a principle consultant for the global tech firm accused his own company of bringing in foreign workers to the u.s. illegally. now senator charles grassley is pressing for a thorough investigation by the departments of state and homeland security of the b1 visa program. allowing foreign companies to send employees here for meetings but jay palmer says they were sending them here for jobs. senator grassley -- >> but if you're bringing them here to work full-time and maybe cheaper labor, it's not only against the law, it's immoral and unjustified, and unethical. >> reporter: palmer says the practice displaced american workers qualified for the same jobs, but, he charges, it increased profits. >> for example, you know, if i'm going to pay yous 15 $15,000, w

pay an illegal worker $65,000 a year? it's economics. >> reporter: an expert in immigration policy says the problem is bigger than just one company. >> the number of companies very profitable, large companies that are expanding very rapidly are exploiting loopholes that should be closed. >> reporter: palmer says after he blew the whistle, the company retaliated against him. now he is suing the company. they categorically deny all of jay palmer's allegations saying they will address the facts in court. john miller is here. can grassley, being the powerful senator he is, get action here? >> he is on the judiciary committee which does have oversight over immigration policy. they're going to listen to him. now when he wrote his letter a couple of months ago on this, the state department acknowledged that this is a program that needs more, more

oversight because of the potential fraud. but i think one of the things that has senator grassley, irked him, in 2011, this story and there are others applied for 4,700 more of these visas on the idea they needed nearly 5,000 people with skills so specialized no american computer worker could do them. >> did he see your piece yesterday, john and say, get john miller on the phone. what more can you tell us? really, when i saw the piece about yesterday, i'm curious about how the indian workers are allowed to live here? >> well, and how -- and how they live here. i mean, jay palmer, who helped us break this story yesterday and marty harrington were appalled by the conditions. these people came in on specialized worker visas or visas where you're just allowed to come for a meeting and not supposed to work at all and were stacked three in a motel room. in tiny apartments. jay palmer actually wept out with his own money and bought air mattresses for them to sleep on and a lot of them didn't want

in today's "healthwatch," gene therapy for parkinson's disease, a new british study describes a potentially groundbreaking treatment. >> so far 15 patients received it including this woman who's had parkinson's for 17 years. she says her severe tremors and balance problems are starting to go away. with us now, dr. michael kaplitt who pioneered the use of gene therapy on parkinson patients, and welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> tell us how successful this is. the idea of gene therapy. because i know so many people and friends whom have parkinson's.

>> well, the idea of gene therapy has been around a long time and has held great promise. the problem is that with a lot of positive cases, patient whose have done well in isolation, there's always been sort of stopping points where things never really got past the initial promise. >> did not realize its potential? everybody believed what happened after it began to understand more about all the genes? >> right. the real excitement in the field in the last year or two has been that we've really gotten past many of those points. that the example of this woman and in this study going on and many others that have been going on really show that this is more than just some experimental idea, some promise, that it's really starting to help real people and wee overcoming many of those hurdles. >> rewind and bring us up to date what gene therapy is. can you describe it in a couple of sentences? how it works? >> genes are the fundamental building blocks of life that give our body instructions on how to work. what we're doing with gene therapy is providing a new set

of instructions to tell different parts of our body how to work in specific situations. >> go ahead, charlie. >> across the board, where might gene therapy have consequences and results, say, in the next ten years? >> right. >> obviously, parkinson's led the field. we and many others have been doing it a long time. in the brain in particular what we're excited about is the ability to go into particular circuits that influence all kinds of complex diseases. depression, drug addiction, even obesity, things like that. all of these things are diseases of specific brain circuits, and by giving new instructions to these circuits we may be able to have major impacts where traditional drugs can't really do as well. >> and following up on her question. exactly wl lly what will you do? localize where the parkinson's is and do what? >> what we do is have these little molecular packages that deliver the genes. you have billions of these little packages in a droplet, one droplet of liquid. and then we go in with this very

fine tube through a little hole in the skull, and we deliver it. we literally inject it too a particular spot in the middle of one of these circuits that influences, in this case parkinson's disease. >> 15 seems like a small number. is that enough to be encouraged? >> enough to be encouraged for one particular approach. again, one has to get past that. for example, we did ten patients in our first study, but then last year reported on 40 patient, and patients who did better than placebos. so these kinds of progress can really help make these things real for real patients idle know a lot of people who are suffering -- not a lot, but friends that have parkinson's and are dealing with it. this is very encouraging. >> thank you, doctor. >> thank you, dr. kaplitt. unbelievable adventures, calling him snackman. you need positito know this guy. serious admirers we'll explain in "long story short."

"titanic" rornt april 15, 1912 at 2:20 a.m. about 700 people in lifeboats watched the unthinkable happen to the supposedly unsinkable. the rms titanic slid beneath the ocean's surface. legend has it that a survivor in lifeboat 13 described the scene saying, that's the last of her. but really, that seemed to be just the beginning. the beginning of a century-long fascination that can rightly be called an obsession. there are "titanic"-themed cruises. a half scale replica of the ship in tennessee. afteren the promise of owning a piece of the ocean liner for only $19.99. >> containing authentic cool recover frrd the "titanic." >> reporter: the number of books written about the "titanic" is surpassed only by those about the civil war and jesus. other passenger ships have gone down with terrible losses of

life. three years later, over 1,000 died aboard the "lusitania." why do we care so much about this disaster? katherine howell is the author a new book about, you guessed it, the "titanic.." >> all systems available in 1912. engineering can fail, the wealth, the poverty. all of this coming together on one night. >> reporter: we've always been fascinated with class, and aboard the "titanic" the division between the haves and have nots was in dramatically stark relief. down in third class were immigrants heading to america in search of a better life. dreaming, perhaps, of life in first class. upstairs, it was the very picture of how we imagine life in the gilded age. the parlors up here were occupied by some of the richest people in the world. and back then, to be rich was to be famous.

>> the "titanic" was carrying on it people as famous and well-known as, i think, the equivalent would be if the most exclusive oscar party. everyone on that party was on a boat together. >> a vanity fair oscar party? >> exactly. on the boat that went down. >> their version of george clooney was john jacob astor iv xbrnchts on ben guggenheim, my favorite. when he figured out what was going on, they disappeared and re-appeared and returned in dress clothes determined to go down as gentlemen. that's something george clooney would do. >> reporter: the stage set for a harrowing drama. one reason the story grips us, while the "lusitania" went down in 14 minutes it too 2 hours and 40 minutes for the "titanic" to sink. enough time for heroes a and villains to emerge. no wonder it was made into a broadway musical.

enough time to make dignified decisions. >> that's true. we like to go to the detail how women and children were loaded first. which was mostly true, somewhat not true. we like the idea of the band continuing to play, even as the ship is listing out from under their feet. >> reporter: for every generation since the "titanic" went down there's been a movie to commemorate it. first -- then black and white. and then in 1997 -- james cameron brought our fantasies of "titanic"'s voyage to life. for three hours we felt like we were onboard to witness all the romance -- and all the drama. in the end, more than 1,500 died that cold, april night, 100 years ago. and hopefully if there's one good thing to come from our obsession, it's that we're

keeping their memories alive. >> and you're here. >> that's right. i think that time that it took to go down, 2 hours and 40 minutes is really the central reason it grips us. one of those, i suppose. we can imagine ourselves what would we have done? it's interesting, because the "lusitania" a huge number of people died three years later and we don't talk about it because it only took 18 minutes to go down and a mad rush. it was survival of the fittest, a larger proportion of yng mounn lived and older rich people died. there wasn't the time for that to play out. >> i think i have to confess to having a little bit of the obsession. i went to see it in 3d. james cameron here at the talb with clare and erica. i'm going to put it to bed now. i might be all "titanic"'s out. but i loved your piece. why are we so fascinated? because it was a result of human error, do you think? >> i think so. i think because it was -- it

never billed itself as unsinkable, but other people described it that way. and it's just all of these superlatives. the richest people, the biggest boat. >> yeah. >> you know. >> i think it's because of people having a time to think about dying. all of a sudden, as you said, two hours. i think of that movie "the perfect storm" with george clooney, he says as they're going down, this is what it's going to be like. >> the first reported in realtime because of wireless technology, because of the distress calls. it was being reported basically as it happened, and it was a big deal. >> that makes it much more real to people, too. that's what they remembered it for. >> and it actually made the "new york times." helped the "new york times" become the paper it s. the paper it is. >> i will only do this once. thank you, maurice. a pleasure to see you again. >> good to see you. >> because we found out -- >> yes. yes, you did. last week. >> in case you missed it, gayle wouldn't tell -- your story.

gilt is, tell us exactly what this website is. >> offers luxury goods, items for the homes, services, an exciting format and prices 60% to 70% often. that's the key. >> like a sample sale online? >> like a sample sale. but not everyone know what's a sample sale s. you set it up so people feel ex-cluesive while do it. just by what erica said subpoena invitation only. my daughter, who's 25, raved about it. you give a time. on an noon, x amount of times to get the deals. was that part of the fun making us want something that, okay, i really want to get it and only have x number of time to get it? >> when we started five years ago, the fact we're changing out the vemp woirtual sale. you can never come twice and find the sail. it's fresh always.

>> that can be frustrated to some people, but it is, gayle mentioned, exclusivity, that people really like. as you're getting so big, how many shoppers now? >> over 5 million members. >> even hard to keep that -- that feeling of exclusivity for people? >> most membership still comes in through an invitation through a friend. although you can come in and request one directly at our website. what we invested in a lot is anticipating what each customer will want to see. what brands will most interest them so we're pairing that up for them directly when they come into the site. >> i was fascinated by the story of the two as. alexandra, go-getter, alexis, a risktaker. don't work with friends, i've always heard. >> depends on friends and the context of the friendship. we met in college and -- >> college harvard business school. go ahead. please, continue. >> we met as undergrads and into school became really best of

friends. we were both interested in business and finance and alexis had the technology background. i was always interested in retail and luxury and we joined forces with our co-founder. >> so not all friends should work together. >> and what's important to keep in mind is not just that skill set balance but a personality balance between the two of you. if one sees the big picture, not all the detail, make sure the other can do what you cannot do. >> a check list in the book. a list to make sure. like pre-marriage counseling that you freed you need to go t before you decide to do business together. >> are you surprised it worked out as well? the numbers are staggering how well gilt group is doing? >> today we have nearly 1,000 employees in a couple different countries, in fact. we sell over half a billion of merchandise on the web suit. we partner with over 6,000 brands across our business, and this happened all in a handful of years. >> i know. >> there would be quarters where we were hiring more new people than already were at the company, an managing that hyper

growth is challenging. >> and alexandria, both mothers and moms, now married, both of you. >> balancing it all. marriages, children, and, of course, a job that we love. i think it would be really tough to do the work we found if you didn't love what you do professionally. >> if you didn't have a good partner both at home and at work. valued at a billion dollars. anybody wants to no, any chance, spending time in silicon valley, any chance of going public? >> there is a possibility, and we'll look at it in 2013. >> i'm going to take that as a yes. would that be okay, alexis? >> sure. we are considering it. >> okay. >> congratulations. congratulations. >> thanks. >> thank you for having us. and jim gaffigan calls himself the laziest man on earth. he's doing a comedy special and he's at the table to tell us why it is just so different. you're watching cbs "this morning."
