fager has put all that history down in a book.s called "50 years of '60 minutes'." >> i think most important part of it was actual he a list of the stories because i think you could give it to any loyal viewer and they would recognize stories as you look at a list. now, there are 5,000 of them. i had amazing help from tanya simon, who is just a fabulous producer, daughter of bob same orange knows the broadcast well, and worked with me closely on a chronology. and then it really was about memories and the thoughts they really hoped this could be a book for journalism students. so all of the different things that we do. all of the practices and values that we adhere to for all these years, i tried to get that in there, so it's a bit of a blueprint, if i think, part of our success. >> rose: you have talked about this before, but talk about the birth of "60 minutes." i mean, how it came about. because it was not born out of high anticipation. >> no. >> rose: it was not born out of instant success. >> no, no. it was hard to get it off
