CBS Sunday Morning on September 25, 2011
Charles Osgood introduced the stories for September 25, 2011. The first Sunday morning of fall, marking the beginning of a new (tv) season. "In the pursuit of pleasure" is the cover story by Susan Spencer. Life's little pleasures. Second up, Rita Braver on the real Rin Tin Tin. The dog goes back to Warner Brothers and silent films, then known as "the mortgage lifter." Mo Rocca is on Roseanne Barr and macademia nuts, on a nut farm in Hawaii.

Headlines for Sept. 25. Herman Cain, the surprise winner in FL straw poll. Putin nominated to be president in Russia. The two Americans released from Iran, are now in New York. Amanda Knox trial. Diana Nyad back in water, FL to Cuba. Treated for jellyfish stings. Weather: east coast to be blanketed by rain.

An Emory prof noted sleep is always on the list of pleasures. Paul Bloom's book: How Pleasure Works. An experiment on wine drinkers done by Stanford and Caltech. Humans are tricked by price; dogs are not. Humans get pleasure by spending enormous sums. Michael Jackson, 1.8 million. Clapton's guitar: almost 1 million.

The first experience is the best. Treasure those pleasures AND there's always room for something new.
