joe myers in richard the third-- "joe myers played the king as if somebody else had already played the ace." that's very clever. stolen from george bernard shaw, i believe, but she always said stealing was all right as long as you stole from the best. do you have anything from edinburgh? yeah, emma golding took two productions to the festival-- a modern-dress version of timon of athens, reset in beirut, and a new play by phil beaumont. the lad who dropped out? let me show you. it was called the road to nowhere. what was that about? no idea, and i did see it. but what amanda wrote was, "we were promised a cross between harold pinter "and john osborne; "what we were given was a cross between harold steptoe and sharon osbourne." i bet that went down well with the troops. she also had a good nose for dirt. she used to write an anonymous column called "gossip from the forest." this was her finest hour. "all is not well with one of oxford's dream couples. "we hear that the police were called to a domestic incident "involving two of our most eminent academics. "who, we wonder, will get custod

joe myers kills richard scott. amanda costello makes an educated guess as to what's happened and confronts myers with it at the first night party. he says, "let's talk about this quietly in the cellar." "but," you'll say, "did he fetch a piece of string with him on the off-chance?" what do you reckon? you usually have an opinion. sir, there's something else you need to know. sounds exciting. you're not getting married? no, sir, it's about simon monkford. what about him? how long have you known? since the call from the met. is that what that was? the final confirmation-- date, place, time. why the hell didn't you tell me then? because the last time i mentioned your wife you made it very clear to me that i wasn't to mention the subject again. this is different. this is purely professional. how can that be? what were you frightened of? that i might go barging into the interview room and batter the living daylights out of the man? i think i'd be tempted under the circumstances. well, maybe i'd be tempted too. but it wo

doing auto repair in phoenix, arizona, brothers joe and pat ritz weren't looking to change their business model. that is, until one customer, chris myersked what seemed like a very odd question. >> i looked around, sure enough there's a million dollar ferrari sitting out there, right next to a 2010 camry. i'm like that's kind of interesting. i talked to pat and i said, well you charge more for the ferrari, right? >> when pat told him they charged the same hourly rate for any customer, chris said he was surprised because there's such a great difference in skill level needed to work on the two kinds of cars. >> it's not the type of problem that says oh, my god i'm going out of business tomorrow but it's a problem. >> he loves finding overlooked opportunities hidden inside accounting numbers. >> we have people who are tracking the wrong numbers in their business. maybe they're looking at what type of word of mouth feedback you receive, when in reality, they should be looking at is return of purchases. >> chris is a self-described numbers geek. he offered his program to help the ritz brothers understand which numbers have the greatest impa

myers of "vanity fair." conservative columnist peggy noonan of the "wall street journal." joe califano, once an aid to lyndon johnson. taylor branch, author of a new book on race. and james peterson of lehigh university. we'll round it out with the newest brother act in politics, san antonio mayor julian castro and his air, dentical twin, joaquin castro, just elected to congress. that's a big group but there's a lot to talk about on "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs from cbs news in washington, "face the nation" with bob schieffer. >> and good morning again. we welcome to the broadcast david plouffe, architect of the president's election in 2008, again last year a key adviser in the administration throughout. let me ask you first about the situation in algeria, where this awful terrorist attack took place. we know that there were seven americans at that compound, and the reports are one is dead. do you have any more information on any of the others? >> i don't this morning, bob. obviously, if and when we have additional information, the state department will relea

and as joe mentioned, former white house press secretary under president clinton and contributing editor to "vanity fai fair", dee dee myersook about your boss. >> i did! >> a classic. >> i traveled around america a lot for a while. >> so, david, what were your thoughts, watching the president of the united states in his second inaugural address? a man that you have just completely immersed yourself in over the past several years. >> i thought it was to him a more important inaugural than the first one in so many years. i think he felt assured. i think his whole life of trying to avoid traps and get to a certain place was realized. i think that, you know, when he started politics as a community organizer in chicago, and the mantra then was, you imagine the world as you want it to be and deal with the world as it is. his first inaugural address was about the world as it is or it was at that moment, so it was naturally a little more oblique. this address, he was talking about the world as he wants it to be, and it was really the most profound declaration of what he truly believes, i think, that i've heard him give. >> dee de
