Was there something in you that said, this shouldn't just be for people who can pay to go see it on Broadway. I like to say that I can I speak – and my rain coming up this Sunday morning. Moriarty reports from an Indiana plagued by childhood cancers. Mark Phillips wonders how TB is the crown playing with real British royals department catches up with his favorite secret Santa plus like the fourth candle on the menorah and more on the Sunday morning 14 December 2020 will be back man who started out as a New York City St. photographer and later traveled the world is now created a portrait of us photos to make our globe feel just a little bit small.

Jim Axelrod shows us a gallery of his work for morning.

I took some separate what a decade it's been for Brandon Stan is starting to sweat about 10 years ago was exactly November 4, 2010 was limited to the photograph fired from his finance job in Chicago. Brandon had no idea and I just wanted to try to make a living being an artist. That's all I wanted to pay my rent, and create all they want timed perfectly with the rise of social media is block humans of New York shared his experiences with New Yorkers either print from the street. I and asked to take their picture graph you are you thinking pairing the snapshot with the subject's own words, often describing the struggle he elevated random encounters into something of an art form.

What surprised you about lollies you got to know her better.

It wasn't necessarily the photography itself.

That was interesting people. It was meeting a stranger's fearlessness.

Let us get to know the window morning. Her husband, a blue-collar worker. Wishing you going to college, a young woman reeling from a breakup with her fiancé. You sit down and there was somebody on the street. Even here stranger go over that place you seen a part of them that nobody else seen before and it's extremely powerful as the Facebook world of carefully curated images was taking hold. Here was a hunt for the honest and unscripted.

Everyone is worried about their brand and were obsessed with the glossy and the celebrity and here is a chronicle of real and normal weakness down struggle. The opposite of everything we broadcast every single day which is accomplishment.

Pride, ego is the blog's popularity exploded, leading to a best-selling book and turning them into one of Time magazine's 30 under 30 changing the world.

Brandon wanted to know if what worked in New York, traveled now looking at the cover of the book is in power, St. Petersburg, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Santiago, Karachi one Osiris goes on with the idea always in know what I mean is a foreigner with the camera not only to be. People randomly but have any sort of meaningful and substantive conversation with with these people that would somehow provide the same sort of death in Nuance that my work in New York provided his notebook. Humans documents eight years of trips to more than 40 countries to answer that question, I would give my soul if I could fix her brain to his father in a rock about his disabled daughter. The longer I do it, the more pain that's waiting.

If I stop the addict with a needle in his arm told him in Pakistan on the day I watched my father die. This is the skirt I was wearing, said the survivor of genocide in Rwanda.

One thing that indivisible that everybody feels the same way as pain and what causes pain in people's lives is different in every single aspect, but if you're looking across the world that somebody in a village in Africa just lost their mother and they are expressing that in a very real and authentic way care how different the details are the pain is the same.

You can feel it and you connect with that person wherever he is Brandon Stan's work rests on a foundation of connection for you. Just ask Stephanie Johnson, 76-year-old New Yorker whose life is an adult dancer known as Dan Gray Stanton, detailed in a 32 port Instagram post story should never fully told anyone before. I mean I was telling him everything that happened to me how you know my mother that I just kept talking and talking and talking to think it was because he was just listening and listening… Maybe. Probably yeah I would from the criminal in Madrid bemoaning I should've invested the money I stole to the construction workers celebrating a park he built in São Paulo when they open the gates and the children came running in and I started to cry, is the indisputable gorgeously photographed proof that Brandon Stanton figured out how to cross borders shrink the world, even in a covert world where his patented approach of walking up to random people and unmasked faces is on hold.

I haven't taken a photo in months and the blogs more popular than it's ever been before Stanton's thrive and inbox with 20,000 stories submitted from around the world and I'm interviewing these people you know over video conference and it's it's all about constructing the story now, which is a good lesson for all of us the power found in sharing our struggles is sustaining.

If will just give it a try. What's happened in the past six months is kind of in a double-edged sword and that it's it's made my work more difficult to do, but it's also created more demand for you know this is a book of me traveling the world talking to random strangers. Two things that you can't doing can't travel really connection. More than ever, and it's doing better than ever house and I think the reason being is needed. The crown is one of Netflix's most popular shows. Is anyone in Britain who actually wears a crown watch so what does the Queen think a reality check comes from Mark Phillips which part of the policy are we supposed this is so this is the cordial with the royal patrons you can get a pretty good sense of what the inside of Buckingham Palace might look like when you cruise around the set of the crown with its creator Peter Morgan. There is the clearing of the Queens bath than this. It's not the real bathroom. Of course, it may not even be an accurate copy is the private apartments of the royal residences are private.

It's an imagined bathroom and that is the point of the controversy now swirling around this hugely popular show which is now pulling back the curtain on the period of modern British Royal history. The family may most want to forget this is the imagined story of the doomed marriage of Charles and Diana and some important people are very unhappy with the way it's being told I'm sorry we haven't missed it tells how Charles runs into the teenage Diana. Just when he's being pressured to find a suitably aristocratic young and innocent bride the way it shows how Camilla Parker Bowles. Charles already married and longtime love interest encouraged to search for a convenient mate like this one spends, and it revels, and how Diana nailed her audition with the Royals during the weekend that Bell moral their Scottish estate trends will test such line comes rave reviews.

Go sleep you be seeing it, except says Penny Genter, author of a series of well sourced books on the Royals. The crown isn't the real thing at all because nice people and we looking behind doors and seeing what stations it took place didn't take the characters on days horrible people that we have time for being catty Penny Genter says because she doesn't by the producers line that the audience knows it's not watching the history show they are the counterargument that this is drama builders drama that everybody knows it's trauma and it's not trying to be history. I think will grow young people in the history will probably regard as the tree's historical record, and the truth is more complicated so the show is history like Charles is faithful decided his and Diana's engagement interview. Oh yes, love child all Diana was a fiction marriage terribly on happy child. Charles with his childhood and he situation, unable to attend. She was with an unfaithful to it so happens our visit to the crown set with Peter Morgan took place.

While this series was being filmed and when questions about royal sensitivities were already being asked, do they react what is it do you hear from them. That's not the way it happened, or the dictates of the things I make it a habit of leaving a will is on hold. I've never had a conversation session. I would trust will be one like this in a private audience with the Queen since I really don't worry about it take to the producers of that cause to worry since not just royal authors but the royal friendly press and the government cabinet minister have demanded that the show run warning saying it should be taken as historical fact even one of the actors Helena Bonham Carter plays the Queens wayward sister Princess Margaret has gone public saying a disclaimer might be a good idea no matter what the shows declared intention is to accept this now, the whole series is become a drama, not just royal self did a picture-perfect American town become the setting for rash of unsettling childhood cancers. That's the question here Moriarty set out to answer. It's been hard on all of us change this for a lot of ways I don't even know how to describe them just one thing after another. Every year, month, there's another kid something very strange seems to be happening in Johnson County, Indiana can last time I can't 11 to come on, when I say acute lymphatic leukemia and I was 10 at the time children are getting sick and it started long before the pandemic scary and you don't know what the future holds for her child. You don't now if you outlive your child to funerals. Yes, we went to three and 18-month-old and eight year old and Caleb just turned 18. This is where we had three brain tumors and one -looking man Carrie Reinhardt and Stacy Davidson started tracking the cases in 2015.

So far they have found over 70 cases in Johnson County alone which is above the national average, more striking many of the children with cancer seem to live in or near the county seat in the town of Franklin which looks much as it did in 1940 when life magazine put it on the map with this pictorial to small town life's charming turn of the century town and ferrying cozy and coming right off the bat. Brian, I came here in 1995 for college and never laughed. It was the perfect place to raise her three children Anna Sophie and San and was in eighth grader at Franklin middle school.

She was the summer she was moving grader late 2014 and I began having headaches and nausea, and eye exam revealed swelling in an optic nerve and I had a brain tumor in children less than 3% pediatric brain tumors are glioblastoma incredibly rare Stacy Davidson didn't live in Franklin, but her 10-year-old stepson saying dead. The same year, and I got sack Zane complained of leg pain and went in for blood tests. Same was diagnosed with leukemia. When the doctor came and things question was why did I get this. Why me and the doctor said just bad luck Davidson and Ryan. I began to wonder what the odds of so much bad luck went to search for a cause 15 commercial site side of town became obvious aspect within 30 years and I lack the chemicals were done and link care did order a cleanup, but something along the way wrong, terribly wrong. The EPA dropped the ball job is to protect the common good. The environmental health of the common people. More than 35 years ago, environmental engineer John Mundell was part of an independent team that discovered contamination in the soil and groundwater here. The site had a long history in manufacturing first by Bendix and my Amphenol most alarming the presence of two chemicals, trichloroethylene, or TC and tetrachloroethylene PC both use as degreasers in electronics manufacturing and by dry cleaners and both known as carcinogens. How about us that contamination back in 1984 very significant levels in the groundwater enough that we knew from there that some kind of active remediation would be necessary to bring the site back to usable condition. Even after the EPA required a cleanup more than 10 years for a system called pump and treat which cleans contaminated groundwater of toxins to be installed. The EPA declined an on camera interview, but in an email stated it took no further action is based on agency standards at the time, contamination levels and groundwater did not present an unacceptable risk. Groundwater makes a plume and it migrates that decision, says John Landau allow dangerous volatile chemicals to move off-site along the sewer lines and into the neighborhood. What is also insidious is the fact that when this water container chemicals).

Hear how Ms. Watterson think that's correct goes unnoticed and so that can happen, and it has happened over decades. This is where the pump and treat as this is where I lived. Many of the sick children, says Carrie Reinhardt live within a half-mile of the former Amphenol site.

I drove by the pump and treat probably a million times in the 20 years I lived in Franklin no clue what it was. Looks like a little shed and there's nothing that makes you think this is a site careful with the numbers of sick children, seemingly on the rise. Reinhardt Davidson became alarmed by a paper trail of documents showing ongoing problems with the cleanup to support these agencies early on. They asked for help from Franklin's mayor, the state environmental agency and the federal EPA. We were hopeful that agencies would take even take notice and say okay will take it from here.

Okay, we got to move fast. Figure out about definitely wasn't the case. The data we collected all of these different situations demonstrates no specific environmental concern that is widespread over and health officials told the mothers that was so many different types of cancer and no direct link between the contamination and the children's says Franklin didn't qualify under federal guidelines as an official cancer cluster.net no investigation into what was making the kids set no one told me that my kids were being exposed. No one told my neighbors were being exposed to the mothers founded a nonprofit advocacy group if it was your child and Machine fraction was divided some privately feared that talking contamination might damage the city's image and its property values my own children were told your mom to get my husband received a phone call early on that you know your wife is doing.

There was a local health official who looks straight straight in the eye and an official meeting.

As we sat there with a hydrogeologist into cancer cluster special and said you girls go all Aaron Brockovich but their efforts to get the attention of environmental activists in 2018 New Jersey nonprofit Edison wetlands Association hired John Landau to return to Franklin getting test homes adjacent to the former Amphenol site. The very site he thought it been cleaned up some 30 years ago. So we tested 30 home.

The results of the test Landau conducted in the summer of 2018 and again in February 2019 are worrisome. About one third of the 30 homes had detections of TCM PC concern even if there's no direct scientific link, absolutely because the levels that we are looking are compared to a level that the EPA says can cause concern. You would not want people to be exposed for long periods of time to the things we found EPA has finally orchestrated a new cleanup in Franklin, starting with the sewer system, leading away from the contaminated site in the email to CBS News officials admit that the off-site levels exceed the current vapor intrusion protective standards. Amphenol has agreed to investigate and pay for any further cleanup but as for Carrie Reinhardt's daughter Emma tumor in her brain couldn't be treated.

What was the process, but I never have to glucose are relentless. In December 2014, Indiana's Make-A-Wish foundation granted and is lifelong wish to visit Paris. There's a great picture of them setting in his crate. I've got it on her pink probably so happy so happy was by far the most spectacular way to dream up a better way like one of the more three days after they got home and I died.

Other Franklin kids were more fortunate. We have talked about it before and like we just understand like what each other's went through Stacy Davidson stepson Zane has been cancer free.

Since 2017 and you feel great when you say that you always feel like it's hanging out the I don't feels so much but always bought my mind Tina for two and half years and correlate from us nine years. Lena is working towards remission and happened to me. Carrie Reinhardt and other mothers are now suing Amphenol for dumping dangerous chemicals and failing to warn residents of the danger the company denies responsibility for causing the children's illnesses.

Two streets over and they are a small band of determined parent says Stacy Davidson, who may be changing the lives of children beyond the borders of Franklin, Indiana. You have all these small pockets of cities and counties that are starting to have increasing cancers and increasing other things in pediatric cancer and that's what's so frustrating is that Franklin is not rare progress and crazy time is the point is we people in the best way to protect people is to convict final season Millstream take-out with preacher Garrett this week Stephen Law ally of Mitch McConnell in one of Washington's biggest midterm monument list for me to set reasons you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed with Nevada not Georgia.

Georgia is right up there with New Hampshire's products to New Hampshire people really just don't like you have more from this week's conversation, follow the take-out with major Garrett on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts after year to see more than its fair share of darkness. Time to celebrate what with each passing night with each new Hanukkah flame, the more the darkness begins to fade.

What symbolizes the triumph of good over and righteousness comforts we could all you during this special week went around for over 2000 Jews rebelled against the Syrian Greek empire and took back the Temple in Jerusalem. It's an epic tale of resilience and rededication since Susan Bronstein, Senior curator America at the Jewish Museum. You when they went to defy the temple and they made a new menorah they only found enough sanctified oil to burn for one day but it miraculously burned for eight today that miracle was celebrated with traditional potato pancakes called latkes fried as well as impossibly delicious round generally don't playing with the whirling dervish, the dreidel rabbi yahoo stuff by the way, has an impressive collection. He showed us a few years back because eight nights or reminder of the power of hope every single moment every single breath of air that we can breeze during the lifetime their miracles happening around us little ones medium-size one in real big ones this year celebrations are smaller, pretty much a family affair now mostly at home with a light is perhaps the warmest in the midst of such a chaotic and uncertain time. The simple act of lighting you can chose us good deed or an act of kindness, however small, can shine a beam of light in all directions sees no matter what calls on all of us to help clear way I can light Denzel Washington recently took time out from storing in movies. If you based on a series of play, as well as offering the story of an early giant of the blue use in conversations morning with Tracy Smith will perform daily before there was mom. This is not raining black bottom flex film inspired by the true life story of the and let herself the movie is body and alone is worth one of tragedy, but it's also one of those rare times when the story behind this is just going in every bit as tragic as it was about all my ratings black bottom is the fill meditation of an August Wilson play one of 10 plays in his American Century cycle. Wilson wrote a play for each decade of the 20th century, each one a mirror of the black experience at the time. Like Marini, set in the 20s. The piano lesson in the 30s and his Pulitzer prize-winning fences in the 1950s Ronnie all day on a Saturday a number you told me you don't quit your job now. Oscar winner Denzel Washington, who directed and starred in the movie version of fences is bringing all 10 of Wilson Century cycle plays to the big screen as a producer, was there something in you that said, people need to see this, this shouldn't just be for people who can pay to go see it on Broadway.

I like to say that I cannot speak you know I was saying my way, not just glad to. I would think that this might seem a little overwhelming. I mean this is. This could take your entire life to do this was left for me to do professionally. This is perfect is not hard.

It's a joy is an opportunity. It's a privilege to shepherd this material. You know not only pushed on through micros you know your new first Viola Davis wanted Tony and Oscar for her work and fences didn't think she could sing well enough to play Marini but as with any August Wilson play me the true power is in the spoken word holy voice captures our humor as black people humor of vulnerability tragedies are all and humanizes and allows us all photons here, is life. August Wilson, who died of cancer 15 years ago at age 60 was a master of language who could capture the soul of human emotion in just a sentence or two, so you can tell Sturtevant to what you will say don't understand. Listen to the voice inside that you describe, however, courage Wilson's widow Constanta Romero remembers him as a genius who could at times be a handful to live with what was it like being married to essentially a Shakespeare well you know Mrs. Shakespeare was probably the best time. You know somebody who's always working, always had idea to talk about the 3 tons of coffee in his brain just you and going hundred miles an hour anything about you last.

This experience Tony winning director George Sewall says interpreting Wilson's work for the screen was a bit intimidating. What was the biggest risk for you were. He also says one of the high points was working with Chadwick Bozeman who came to fame in the title role of 2018 Marvel comics blockbuster Black Panther you help pay for his schooling part of it and and he said that there would've been a Black Panther if it wasn't for dental Washington always those who came before. There would be a good New York City without a James Edwards were James Edwards, without a guy was back then. It's our job to pass the baton sure what we know is my job as well. Can't take it with you so we can do is leave your mommy Bozeman plays a very different role as a talented torment, but on this set kind of a superhero to at the same time he was shooting the movie was also battling colon cancer part of sounds just from the way you talk about it like he really gave until he could not give any more. It's fascinating that nobody kept to himself as nobody's business to deliver any deliberate members of his team knew his wife was there. They were married I should watch how she took care of actually said to me to put it when she kept her island and she watch them cheat you know what I didn't know what we know now. We now know it would be his final film, Chadwick Bozeman, passed away August 28 at the age of 43. He's so young. Some talented, wrap your mind around that. He did all he could do with what he was given and he left here for us to enjoy. Chad will live forever. It seems like August Wilson will live forever to Denzel Washington's help model Rainey's Black bottom is on just about every Oscar predictions list and their other films yet to come is preserving August Wilson's legacy now part of your legacy about all that. I'm just here to take care of this man's work with the best actors and directors around and make the movies baton you have legacy are usually not here anymore so I don't know I think of it that way.

I'm busy I'm not sitting around looking at what I'm doing I'm doing tis the season for secrets department is been watching him on his rounds for a brief moment I felt bad for us because she has to clean up.

She loves her job at Houston Methodist. I felt bad for Kimberly because I lied Kimberly was doing a story about essential workers right correct or not do a story about essential workers. Truth be told I had to lie to everyone I spoke to for this story. When they discovered the real intent. I'm sorry I'm lost most were speechless lips quiver. Many tears, my partner in this joyful deception was an anonymous wealthy businessman known only as secret, your secret personally hands out hundreds of hundred dollar bills to random strangers this year novel coronavirus called for a novel sleigh ride so he mailed packages carefully selected essential workers across the nation and inside that is a sealed envelope that says do not open until instructed to do so by Steve Hartman at CVS's targets included Ashton Dooley sanitation worker from Sarasota, Florida whose brand-new bride has cancer first mayor Belgian thrower security guard from Kansas City with a special needs son in the dream to be a police officer law-enforcement difference and Danielle dip a waitress from Pittsburgh was way behind on.

It has been pretty bad year. Somehow, somewhere, something to work out on that note, I like to interview somebody to okay I secret Santa Danielle's bed was about to get a whole lot better open up that sealed envelope okay was about to get a whole lot letter money and there you guys in the coming secrets, and I will give away about $100,000 total to total strangers all asked to help make your Christmas just a little bit better this course money is a real gift to your kindness when freely given, with no expectation return is in fact unconditional love and that's really what were giving and what does it feel like to receive such a gift will sometimes being speechless. Sorry says it all okay will. It's possible there's no case cold enough for intrepid detective Nancy Drew who is now 90 years you and it's no mystery why face-saving is among her many for this year. Nancy Drew turned 99 years of twists and turns 600 bucks worth some published by Simon & Schuster, Viacom, CBS company, along with movies, video games and TV shows like this one on the CW cologne by Viacom to natural causes, not some.

It's no wonder that McMahon who plays the new Nancy Drew approached the role with trepidation, I trust, whatever things are, because I know characteristics myself. I think about all the girls for the past 90 years growing up.

Looking at these covers and what they were inspired to become. Yes, I mean so many different when we have police detectives. We have lawyers, doctors, Jenny Fisher is the president of the Nancy Drew sleuths fan club. She says she has always been the head of her time very sophisticated for an 18-year-old that was what was so appealing. I think because Nancy would often ask the local police force. In some cases, think the girl gumshoe breezed into print. In 1930 she was the creation of children's publishing magnate Edward Stratton Meyer who then twist passed away after the first books were published.

So then you might wonder if Carolyn and numerous ghostwriters men and women over the years under that student. Fisher says there were ghostwriters and then there was Mildred Denson and teacher.

She was 24 when she wrote the first chance is your book. Benson wrote 23 the first 30 books Nancy Mildred out there in the world a little more rough-and-tumble than later.

Nancy later. That's right just heard that your great-grandmothers Nancy was not the Nancy of the 50s and 60s and 70s that later.

Nancy Drew was the work of the daughter of Edward Stratton Meyer.

Adams, who treated Nancy like family. Harriet like she was there and protective of the character and she had a list of things that Nancy would never do to not speed very little kissing.

Definitely not getting married. I don't go searching in the dark anymore, not darkness me.

McMahon's Nancy Drew is thoroughly modern secrets of the 90-year-old Nancy that she never gets mystery all-consuming story escape for people just pure entertainment, beautiful especially at times when we view this Sunday morning in South Dakota were tis the season for geese migrates we can. Thanks for joining us. We hope you'll be back when her trumpet sounds again next Sunday morning.
