In 1987 at age 71, went to France to cover trial of Klaus Barbee. Walter Cronkite called him the ultimate journalist. The CBS soap opera "As the world turns," ended at age 54 [ first launched in 1956 ]. A spinning colored globe on a desk ended the show.

A preview of "what's in a name." High fructose corn syrup as corn sugar. Carlos Rey is Chuck Norris. A Hundred Monkeys (100 Monkeys) is a company that helps pick names for companies (Danny Altman). Be descriptive andunique but not absurd. Examples in the fish area: "Slime head" turned into orange roughy. Proposed: Asian carp Kentucky tuna. Teach a man to rename a fish and he'll heat almost anything. [There is an obvious connection to trademark law]
Preview: Jamie Lee Curtis and Bill Geist.
Ads for Activia begin the profile for Curtis. Acting is easy for Jamie Lee Curtis. "I was a make believer." There was an allusion to Meryl Streep. At what point: I have achieved what most people don't. Her latest children book is her ninth. An allusion to "You again," which hits theaters this week. "I found high school to be a horror show." I don't think any woman wants to be known for beautiful, or busty. Best role: True Lives. At age 43, a different picture to look at. Air brushing, etc.: Against the essence of who you are. "My mommy hung the moon" dedicated to her mother (Janet Leigh of whom: "I don't remember that bond.") Most people go into parenting: I'm going to do that differently. Relationship with father: beautiful.
"People don't get their dreams, a lot."
Ben Stein: Whether the Bush era tax cuts should be continued. Stein: I am above the level Obama thinks is rich. Left with 0.35 on every dollar I make. I live a great life, and 4 dogs and 6 cats. There is no theory that says raising my taxes will help the economy. What did I do wrong. I tried to be successful. When did this turn out to be a crime.
Preview from Bob Schieffer, talk with Bill Clinton.
Just ahead. Rolling along with the daredevils.
Bill Geist. Saturday night in Omaha. American Daredevil show. Spanky Spangler. People like crunch. Longest car jump. Triple spiral in the air. Met Evil Knieval and that changed my life. Gene Sullivan of Jump for Jesus. Time to smash the metal. This is not pro wrestling folks, this is real. Mr. Dizzy. Spanky's Signature stunt: the car drop. Being a daredevil is freedom.
The moment of nature was on the beach at Cape Cod National Seashore.
**Footnote, of songs in "The Graduate," Joe DiMaggio interview:
00:05:24 Joe dimaggio has never written his memoirs.
00:05:27 He says, "i do not give away " you would say when the song came out, "where have you gone, joe dimaggio," that you didn't understand what the song meant.
00:05:36 Do you now?
00:05:37 >> I still don't know what the song means.
00:05:40 I-i've never understood it fully, and I still don't.
00:05:43 >> Yeah.
00:05:44 Were you resentful that they used your name in that way?
00:05:46 >> Absolutely not.
00:05:47 I was very happy that they would think about it.
00:05:49 These fellas, I guess, maybe they saw me play; maybe they didn't see me play.
