CBS Sunday Morning on 25 June 2017, noting the 10th anniversary of the iPhone
Jane Pauley introduced the stories for June 25, 2017, beginning with David Pogue on the 10th anniversary (of public availability) of the iPhone, and then to Susan Spencer on John McEnroe, Erin Moriarty on Dick Gregory and Seth Doane on Murano glass and Lee Cowan, and Cyndi Lauper.
The news was a landslide in Xinmo, China, oil spill/fire in Pakistan, the GOP healthcare plan and the opening of the Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles. A blurb on a Neopolitan Mastif winning the ugliest dog contest.
The cover story by David Pogue noted the 10th anniversary of the iPhone to the public coming up on June 29, 2017. There was a reunion of four technical writers (including Steven Levy and Pogue (then at the NY Times)) who were given iPhones to try before the public unveiling. There was discussion of the touchscreen feature being worked on in 2005. And no one supposedly knew "how big this could be." There was a question of whether or not Apple is sunsetting. And a statement/opinion on Jobs: I don't think he foresaw the hugeness [?]

Almanac: June 25, 1997. Date of death of Jacques Costeau.
The piece by Seth Doane on Murano glass included "There are no secrets anymore," suggesting glass was now all art. [Could this be said of the iPhone, which primarily borrowed known technology?] In 1291, glass blowing moved from Venice to Murano, to limit the consequences of fires from the glass kilns. From a current glass person with different ideas: I am not threatening anybody. I'm trying to bring glass to another step.
In the earlier days, glass technology was a state secret, and one could not leave Murano with the knowledge.
The piece on Dick Gregory pointed to the symbolic significance of Dick Gregory being allowed to sit on the couch next to Jack Paar.
"Turn me loose." 1989 piece on Gregory on "60 Minutes."
Moment of nature. Horseshoe crabs on New Jersey side of Delaware Bay.
