For the aging population of a nation obsessed with youth, some good news: turning 80 years old is not fatal, and it might even be fun. That's the message of "80", a collection of interviews with 80 prominent octogenarians. Correspondent Tracy Smith sat down with five of them: Entertainer Elaine Stritch, Ben Bradlee of he Washington Post, White House correspondent Helen Thomas, TV Producer Norman Lear, and Hugh Hefner, founder of the Playboy empire.

| 1496 :30x04 - Making A List (Sep/23/2007) |
|
COVER: Making a List
Are you searching for ways to improve your life? Your local newsstand just may have a list or two of ideas. More and more magazines promise everything from a fatter wallet to a flatter stomach, in just a few simple steps.
Not interested in self-improvement? Then there’s probably a different sort of list for you. If you’re figuring out what to do before you die, try your neighborhood bookstore for compilations of the top 1000 movies to see, places to go, or foods to eat….while you still have time. There’s also a website that posts millions of suggestions about how to spend your days on earth. And now a soon-to-be-released Rob Reiner film will offer its own take on the phenomenon known as “life lists.”
So why is America so list-crazy? We’ll ask director Rob Reiner, along with Men’s Health editor-in-chief, David Zinczenko, “Book of Lists” author, David Wallechinsky, and pop culture professor, Robert Thompson.

ART: At the Circus
Mervyn King led an extraordinary life. Abandoned by his parents as an infant, given away to a traveling circus in Australia as a young boy, Mervyn King grew up to be ‘Mr. Circus’ in Australia - the ringmaster, lion tamer, clown and more in his own traveling circus during the 1940s and 50s. And for months at a time Mervyn would take his young son out of boarding school and bring him along to experience life with the circus. Young Sonny King eventually would take a different path, and make his way first to England and then to America and a successful career as a graphic designer. But those boyhood memories of circus life never left him. Now, more than half a century later, Sonny King is telling his story in an artful tribute - a series of dioramas depicting Mervyn King and his circus - now on display at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles. Correspondent Jerry Bowen talks with Sonny King about his art, and his father, and life with the circus, in this Sunday Morning profile.

COVER: Twins
Elyse Schein and Paula Bernstein grew up knowing who they were -- both were adopted as infants into loving families, both adored their older brothers and both eventually went on to study film theory in college.
But three and a half years ago, they discovered the unimaginable - they were identical twins separated as infants. They also discovered they were to be part of a scientific study designed to test the impact of nature versus nurture.

HISTORY: Gene Autry
SPACE: Sputnik
The year was 1957. The date, October 4th and Americans everywhere were looking up. Something new was in the stars, something never before seen. It was known as Sputnik: A 22-inch, 184-pound, man-made satellite, which Russia launched into space, marking the first time ever that something created by human beings had been put into orbit. And while most Americans were in awe, they were also anxious over a glaring reality. With the Cold War in full swing, Russia had succeeded where the United States had only been making plans.
Fifty years after the launch of Sputnik, we'll look back on its legacy. Not only did it mark the start of the space age, but it also had a profound immediate impact on American culture, education, and politics. We'll hear from NPR Senior News Analyst Daniel Schorr, who was stationed in Moscow at the time, reporting for CBS News; David Hoffman, who spent over a year uncovering rare footage while working on the just-completed documentary, "Sputnik Mania;" and Von Hardesty, a curator at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC., who will give us a peak at the full-scale Sputnik replica hanging from the museum’s ceiling.

As she tells CBS Correspondent Mark Phillips, "I don't believe in standing still. I don't believe in finding a formula that works commercially and then you do the same thing again, because…it worked last time." We travel to Notting Hill, London for a rare conversation with Annie Lennox-Britain’s first Diva of rock.
OPINION: Mo Rocca on child's play
PROFILE: Anthony Bourdain

This week on Sunday Morning, 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl finds out just why he's known in kitchens around the world as the "Bad Boy" of cuisine, and gets a peak at never before broadcast pictures of "Bad Boy" turned "Proud Papa" Bourdain's new baby daughter, Arianne.

COVER STORY: Heart of the Matter
Martha Teichner travels to Framingham, Mass., home to a study that’s been going on since 1948 and has provided us with just about everything we know about how to prevent cardiovascular disease, the Framingham Heart Study.
DOCTOR’S ORDERS
Staying healthy: It’s an ongoing battle against endless temptation. Every day confronts us with a landmine of possibilities -- Extra cheese on that pizza? Fries with that burger? Perhaps you’d like another cigarette? Such decisions seem like personal ones, but should the government have a say in them, too? Dr. Thomas Frieden, New York City's health commissioner, is at the heart of that debate. Since Frieden’s appointment in 2002, the city has banned smoking in public places and trans-fats in restaurants. While many cry, “Paternalism,” some 20 states and more than a dozen countries have since enacted similar legislation. As for Frieden, he’s moved on: Now he’s gunning for fast-food restaurants, and he wants them to post calorie counts next to every item on their menus. So, why is Frieden so driven to make such radical changes? Stay tuned to Sunday Morning, and find out.
WHIZ KIDS: Babies and Learning
Ask any new parent if they think their baby is smarter than average -- you don’t need to be a genius to guess the answer. But, behind that dazed and innocent look, there may be a mental powerhouse in the making. In the first year of life, a newborn’s brain grows at a rate that could be described as explosive. So what is a very young child capable of? Tracy Smith looks at brilliant babies.
ROAD TO RECOVERY: Levon Helm
Anthony Mason chats with throat cancer survivor and drummer for The Band, Levon Helm.
NEVER TOO OLD: Seniors and Sex
It used to be a taboo -- talking about whether your parents -- or grandparents -- were sexually active. Well, most of them are! That's the conclusion of a report recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. This Sunday Morning, correspondent Rita Braver talks with the lead author of the report, and visits with seniors who say sex after 60 may be a surprise to their children -- but not to them!
INSIDE OUTSIDE: Outside Magazine
When most Americans discuss “fitness,” they’re usually talking about joining a gym or taking walks around the neighborhood. For the folks at Outside magazine, “fitness” more likely involves climbing the Himalayas, paddling a kayak through ice fjords in Patagonia, or mountain-biking in the Rockies. For 30 years now, Outside, America’s leading active lifestyle magazine, has been offering stories of adventure and travel that inspire readers to simply get outside and enjoy the variety of endeavors the natural world has to offer. Correspondent Serena Altschul travels to Santa Fe, N.M., and visits the stunning 220 acre mountain-top ranch of the magazine’s founder, Larry Burke, where the energetic 64-year-old practices what his magazine preaches.

In our Sunday Morning profile, correspondent Thalia Assuras will lace up her skates, and take to the rink with America’s sweetheart, to talk about her life, her loves, and her lifelong struggle with depression.
DOGGED PURSUIT: Animals and mental health
Anyone who’s been around dogs knows they can act a little strangely sometimes. But there are times when quirkiness crosses the line into serious behavioral problems, problems that can mimic some of the symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in humans. That’s when it might be time to take Rover to an animal behaviorist. We’ll meet a doctor who works with dogs with issues, and who might be close to discovering a genetic root to their behavior. And there could be an even bigger payoff: He might be able to apply the genetic lessons he learns to people.

|
COVER: Build a Better Baby
Thoreau said that every child begins the world again. He was right, of course, but he never had children of his own: he never spent nine months wondering if the child was a boy or a girl…or if the baby would be born healthy…or at all. But now-as never before-science has taken some of the agonizing out of the process. Male or female, sick or well, dead or alive: the final verdict at childbirth has been replaced by a series of medical options. As Sunday Morning correspondent Tracy Smith reports, parents can choose gender, screen for a growing number of genetic diseases…and end up with what some might call a better baby.

Chances are your family had a Maytag washing machine when you were growing up. At its peak, the company, known for its dependability, made one in every five washing machines in the United States. Its iconic repairman advertising campaign is one of the most successful of all-time. But in recent years, sales have flattened and alleged mismanagement of the company led to a buyout by rival Whirlpool. This Friday, Whirlpool will officially pull Maytag out of Newton, Iowa -- the town where F.L. Maytag made his first washing machine exactly 100 years ago -- closing the plant that has been gradually laying off thousands of workers since the takeover last year. Dean Reynolds visits a community saddened by loss of Maytag, but hopeful for the future.

For 50 years, Jack Naylor has painstakingly put together his collection of photography. In all, Naylor amassed more than 31,000 pieces of equipment and prints.

Now, at 90, Naylor is saying goodbye to it all - auctioning it off - so that, as he says, others may have some fun. Jack Naylor takes Daniel Sieberg on the last tour of the intact collection. | | Guest Stars: Frank Stella as Himself, Chaka Khan as Herself, Nancy Giles as Herself | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
