jim watson was in his 20's when he discovered the structure of d.n.a.rlie: 28. >> today, typically young investigators aren't young. they are in their early to mid 40's before they can get their first grant to purse their ideas rather than a senior professor's ideas from the n.i.h. look at creative science. whether watson, einstein or newton, it mostly happens long before people are in their early 40's. that is the consequence of the kind of cut-backs that we are going through, and it is just -- and it just does not make any sense. if history teaches us anything, charlie, it is that from things that seem entirely abstract, great things come. einstein's theory of relativity was about abstract as you can imagine. and yet no g.p.s. system would work without internalizing it. the algorithms that make an a.t.m. transaction secure came out of number theory, which is the most basic and theoretical part of mathematics, which is the most basic and theoretical of the sciences. so when we cut back on human curiosity, and wonderment and the support of knowledge, we

ivan, watson, jim acosta, thanks very: dana bash is the only u.s. television reporter traveling with the vice president mike pence in south korea right now. here's part of her exclusive conversation that he had with the american vice president while he was visiting the demilitarized zone between north and south korea. >> he said that the era of patience, strategic patience, is over. what does that mean in real terms? >> it was the policy of the united states of america during prior administrations to practice what they called strategic patience. that was to hope to marshal international support to bring annen to t an end to the nuclear ambitions of noorrth korea. the development of a nuclear program, even this weekend to see another attempt at a ballistic missile launch, all confirms the fact that strategic patience has failed. >> but what does it mean to end it in practical terms? it's either use military force or find a diplomatic solution that has eluded owl your predecessors. >> i think the president has made clear we're going to abandon the str

jim handly. this intense search has been going on now for about seven hours in and around howard county. they are looking for this 28-year-old david watson who escaped from a van taking him to a hospital in jessup. chris gordon has the latest on the search. >> reporter: well, pat and jim, police tell me they are planning this search hour by hour. let's go up overhead to chopper 4, as we tell you just recently they expanded the grid, the wider area now overwhich they are looking for the escaped prisoner. and they're about to have to make the difficult decision of deciding whether to continue the search tonight, once it gets dark. the search team has found articles of clothing that the escapee was wearing when he fled into the woods. so they don't know exactly what he might be wearing right now. they don't believe he has a weapon, but he is considered dangerous. >> he's currently serving a sentence of more than 100 years in delaware on attempted murder in addition to the delaware charges for conviction, he's also currently facing charges in another county for attempted murder. >> reporter: this evening, 28-year-old david m. watson is on th
