they had the same effect as the antidepressants. >> stahl: come on. >> kirsch: really. >> stahl: kirschngs, he decided to do a second study using data not only from the drug companies' clinical trials that had been published in medical journals. this time, he got data that weren't published but had been submitted to the fda, which he got through the freedom of information act. >> kirsch: these are the studies that showed no benefit of the antidepressant over the placebo. what they did is they took the more successful studies, they published most of them. they took their unsuccessful studies and they didn't publish them. >> stahl: so when you did your study, you put all the trials together? >> kirsch: that's right. >> stahl: you're looking at patients who took the real drug and patients who took the placebo. >> kirsch: yes. >> stahl: did they get equally better, or did the ones who took the pills get even a little better? >> kirsch: if they were mildly or moderately depressed, you don't see any real difference at all. the only place where you get a clinically meaningful difference is at

(watch ticking) >> stahl: welcome to "60 minutes" on cnbc. i'm leslie stahl. in march 2009, bernard madoff pleaded guilty to perpetrating what's believed to be the largest financial fraud in history. he received the maximum sentence for his crime, 150 years in prison. but while madoff is behind bars, there's still much we don't know about the scam which involved, by some accounts, a fraud of more than $50 billion. investigators are still trying to figure out who was involved and where the money went. this edition features some of the people most intimately familiar with madoff's schemes: irving picard, the court-appointed trustee charged with finding the missing money, some of the crooked financier's victims and the man who figured out madoff's crimes out before anyone else, harry markopolos. plus, morley safer examines why, even today, investors are so susceptible to con men. we begin with markopolos. at the beginning of 2009, he sat down with steve kroft for his first television interview. >> kroft: until the end of 2008, harry markopolos was an obscure fina

lesley stahl is here to preview her explosive report. at 8:00, the story behind amanda knox's multimillion dollar book deal. >>> i'm erica hill, the federal government is tackling the issue of distracted drivers. we'll talk with transportation secretary ray lahood. >>> the simpsons hits a milestone, 500 episodes. they include a guest list. >>> we begin with today's eye open oar. your world in 90 seconds. >> the situation began with what we can characterize as an incident of workplace violence. >> an office dispute explodes into gunfire leaving one federal agent dead and another wounded in california. >>> immigrations and customs agent opens fire at the federal building. he wounded another agent before he was shot and killed. >> the police are running the street. it was so scary. >> governor romney supported the bailout of wall street and decided not to support the bailout of detroit. >> i love cars. >> the republican front-runner's battle as rick santorum answers a controversial comment on birth control. >> back in my days, they used bay

leslie stahl writes about the watergate parties they were having every night, and it becomes, i think, the news media. i've been in this for many, many decades and almost breaks their arm patting themselves on the back for bringing this guy down. whether he had it coming or not is of course, another question entirely, but i don't think anybody got out of this unscathed. you mentioned the naybobs of negativism, that is still part of the national discourse. i don't think fox news and rush limbaugh can get through ten minutes without coming up with something like this. it's part of the national discourse and this ushered in an era where reporters and politicians, now they've always had somewhat of an ader have sarial relationship, i think it got uglier and uglier and uglier and i think it's remained to this day, personally, i'm not sure this is a very healthy thing for the politic. i think a lot of the things that got set in motion during the nixon administration we're still living with and exponentially, as a matter of fact, i think it's even gotten worse as time goes on. [ applause ] >

i'm leslie stahl. in this episode, we'll examine our relationship with work. how much is too much, too little, and who should decide? but before we look at the hours we spend on the job, we'll look at how employers tried to influence the way their workers act off the job. as morley safer reported in 2005, that cigarette or drink at home, that political candidate you supported, even your eating habits are coming under the scrutiny of your employer. if your boss doesn't approve, it might even cost you your job. >> anita epolito and cara stiffler were considered model employees at weyco, an insurance consulting firm outside of lansing, michigan. anita, 14 years on the job, cara, five. they sat side by side, sharing workloads and after work the occasional cigarette. but at a company benefits meeting two years ago, the company president announced... >> "as of january 1, 2005, anyone that has nicotine in their body will be fired." and we sat there like-- like, in awe. my first reaction was privacy. the hair on the back of my neck stood up, and i thought, there is no

and as lesley stahl first reported in december of 2011, howard doesn't live the high life, and he loves getting down in the dirt. >> this is the man who'll become the next chairman of the company-acquiring, investment-picking, moneymaking machine berkshire hathaway if warren buffett has his way. howard is a farmer who would rather dig up the ground and drive big machines than sit in a boardroom. were you stunned? were you surprised? >> i was surprised. >> but no sign that he's about to leave? >> he won't leave until he's buried in the ground. i hate to put it that way. >> this is no gentleman farmer. howard buffett works his 1,500 acres in pana, illinois, himself. we're gonna go pick some corn? >> yeah, we're gonna pick corn. >> this year, he harvested 87,000 bushels of corn with his 300-horsepower combine that he runs hands-free off gps. you're like a kid, you know, that can ride his bike without his hands, right? >> it's a big toy. >> it's a big toy. >> but it's expensive. >> but with corn prices soaring, he can afford it. and incidentally, even a farmer named buffett can get farm sub

and later, lesley stahl will take us to the world of internet gambling, which is against the law, yet is thriving in this country. but first, my report about one of the biggest scandals in the history of online gambling. a small group of people managed to cheat players out of more than $20 million, and it would have gone undetected if it hadn't been for the players themselves, who used the internet to root out the corruption. as a joint investigation by 60 minutes and the washington post revealed in 2008, it raises new questions about the integrity and security of the shadowy and highly profitable business that operates outside u.s. law. >> moneymaker puts his name amongst the greatest players in the game! >> if you had to pick the moment that the poker boom began, it was probably the day an unknown accountant named chris moneymaker won $2.5 million at the 2003 world series of poker. suddenly, every amateur with a hat, sunglasses, and a stack of chips saw themselves as the next big moneymaker. nearly 7,000 people competed in this year's tournament for $180 million in prize money, but

i'm lesley stahl. in this edition, we examine the boardroom intrigue at hewlett-packard between 2005 and 2007. it was a tumultuous saga that led to criminal charges, executive firings, accusations of sexism, and lots and lots of finger pointing. and in the midst of it all, three of the protagonists told me their sides of the story: pattie dunn, thomas perkins, and carly fiorina. we begin with pattie dunn. it was 2005 when she was appointed chairman of hewlett-packard. yet, just 20 months later, dunn was gone from hp due to her participation in an internal investigation that involved spying on members of the board. less than a month later, dunn was charged with four felony counts for her role in that investigation. in october 2006, only hours after the criminal charges against her were announced, pattie dunn sat down with me to talk about what happened at hewlett-packard. let me ask you the obvious question that i think every lawyer who's watching this is asking himself or herself. why are you giving us

and as lesley stahl first reported in 2009, when coal ash is dumped into wet ponds--and there are more than 500 of those across the country-- the result can have an enormous health risk on the people living in nearby communities. >> we get about 48%, nearly half of the electricity in this country from coal. >> jim roewer is one of the top lobbyists for the power industry. >> coal is going to be around for a long time. >> and we really can't get rid of coal. >> we shouldn't get rid of coal. >> well, should or shouldn't, we can't, and coal makes waste. would you say that the industry has done a good job of disposing of the coal ash waste? >> we can do better. >> does that mean no? >> well, we had a kingston spill. >> that's kingston, tennessee, where, in december 2008, a giant retention pool of coal ash buckled under the weight of five decades of waste. >> all the power lines have been knocked out. >> a billion gallons of muck shot into the emory river like a black tsunami... >> one person in the house, and he's alive. >> engulfing homes, uprooting trees... >> everything's gone. >> and t
