Now there's a remake. The fact that they were willing to deal with older people.

We could do so reader of film for the ages later on Sunday morning back.

George H.

W.

Bush devoted most of his very long life in service to his country braver remembers our 41st president.

I do solemnly swear I see history as a book with many pages in each day we fill a page with acts of hopefulness and meaning. The pages of George Herbert Walker Bush's life are a testament to his belief, purpose and potential of the country he loved 194. He lived longer than any president in American history, spending most of his life in public service.

He understood the importance of trying to put something back into the system at whatever sacrifice that required James Baker was one of Bush's closest friends and also served as his Secretary of State. Baker was there during the tenseness moments of the Bush administration, including operation Desert Storm 1991 US-led mission ousted Saddam Hussein's Iraqi after their nation terrible torturers committed by Saddam's henchmen against the innocent people of Kuwait are an affront to mankind in a challenge to the freedom of all US was not the president made lightly. He said you know nothing is more difficult than sending someone else's shot her daughter off to perhaps die for lion Bush understood that firsthand at 19, he became the youngest Navy bomber pilot in World War II. His plane was hit on a mission in the South Pacific plainly surging forward.

I felt that Jonah could see the fire all around an aircraft and then suddenly my plane was on fire managed to finish his mission, releasing four months, then bailed out and was rescued by an American sub so I'm floating around in his raft paddling and then all of a sudden saw this conning tower come up and saw the submarine surface guy standing up in the top of a taken a picture.

We still have the picture of George H. W. Bush was born into a prominent New England family. His father, Prescott was a US senator from Connecticut. His mother, Dorothy taught him to be humble and she said you will be martyrs don't brag about yourself but historian David McCullough says another woman may have been Bush's most important influence Barbara Pierce Bush I think is the wisest, smartest, most decent, caring person I know and I think is the handsomest thing I ever laid my eyes on. They fell in love while still in high school and married as soon as he returned from the war. They spent 73 years together until her death this past April, she could see through mystic colorable stagecraft of politics whose on the level. Bush got his degree from Yale, where he was captain of the baseball team and after graduation in 1948 moved his growing family to Texas. The bushes would have six children in all but friends say they never got over the loss of their three-year-old daughter Robin to leukemia in 1953 in a profound effect on me. Barbara and I think that horrible incident drew us even closer together in Texas. Bush bounded an oil company politics. Back in think he was so drawn to public service. He used to say life family inculcated in me a strong sense of public service. I say Georgia can't say inculcated. It sounds like it sounds like a medical procedures say something else but that was his philosophy may have had the best pre-presidential resume story CIA director Congressman UN ambassador Pastor John Bush took on the job of CIA chief in the Gerald Ford administration revolution after congressional hearings revealed massive dirty tricks and illegalities including charges of spying on US citizens in 1976 in an interview with Mike Wallace. Bush promised to clean things up. I think there will be safeguards that certainly the agency can enthusiastically support and I know will will meet with the satisfaction with the support of the American people. A few years later, Bush hoped his resume would help him win the 1980 Republican presidential nomination. I think a better experience than any of the president more than any of the others, but Bush lost out to Ronald Reagan and took the number two spot on the winning ticket against incumbent Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale. I think Bush's service for eight years as vice president was admirable in his loyalty to you never tried to upstage never openly expressed disappointment or courtroom disagreement with the present regular really appreciated that. They'll plant you covered the White House on and off for CBS News for more than 25 years says Bush had one job that traditional vice president's with all the funerals for leaders to save his office you.I we fly George H. W. Bush finally nomination kinder gentler nice and his running mate Indiana Sen. Dan Quayle would go on to win the election against Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis and Texas Sen. Lloyd Benson believe execute the office of president of the United States, Bush was the first president in one years correctly. After serving as vice president. We live in a peaceful, prosperous time that we can make it better for new breezes blowing in a world refreshed by freedom, seems reborn wasn't time international changes in 1989 was the Panama, the top man, Manuel Noriega, the day is over. There was even more significant development team. All of the Berlin wall communism to lose its holding Eastern Europe. President Bush was surprisingly laid-back in his response: spiked the ball in the zone. You would never do the three downs and James Baker says that low-key diplomatic approach helped engineer peaceful and Soviet collapse women. We still have business to do with these people and it would be counterproductive to our interest if we stuck it in the Bush had domestic success as well. With the signing of the law that gave new protections to Americans With Disabilities Act. He also faced complaints that he was out of touch. That reputation was deserved for the felt was above it all, but I don't think he felt he was little, but I do believe that he seemed to have manners, which in much of the country were seen as aristocratic election relay race room, at least in part the result of Bush is made four years earlier. Read my lips, it was the right thing to do and made a bargain with the leadership that he would raise taxes. If you spending the taxes got raised spending cuts K and so George H. W. Bush bowed out centerstage.

We have fought the good fight and we've kept the faith.

And I believe I have uphold how the honor was the one sons, George and Jim become governors, so they need 2000 George W Bush became president of the United States. Only the second time in three of father and son would hold the highest office in the land. I can't tell you that they agreed on everything. But I'll tell you that he never intruded on 43's decision-making. The word is that he didn't take kindly when his son was criticized as president is hurting sure you George H.

W. Bush will be remembered for joining the fellow former Pres. Bill Clinton to raise millions for victims of national disasters and for founding the thousand points of light foundation to promote volunteer service is also a man who went skydiving on his 75th 80th and 90th birthday was world something you and the fact that she would let them do it remembered sense of honor and decency and fair play really beautiful course affected because he played such a big role, so it's hard for me to talk. Some will say well he was to softly presently one tough love you him if he was plenty tough but he was thoughtful and kind and he was considered lovely relationship I think is shock.

You constantly move forward with dies.

I think we, Hans is a dead shock. It Sunday morning on CBS and here again is Jane Pauley prompt a special group of fans of Woody Allen Zante Hall to reimagine that classic movie as their Annie Hall with Serena also about finding out there's an old joke to elderly women are the Catskill Matt resort says whether food space is really terrible once is no such small portions. This is how the singer played by Woody Allen in his 1977 Oscar-winning film Annie Hall. This is old joke about to elderly women at a resort in the Catskill Mountains. This is also Alvey singer played by 94-year-old Harry Miller and one of them says boy food here is terrible and the portions are too small. Of course you don't recognize him LOL body there's no Diane Keaton either call and he is played by 74-year-old. She lets her neck to be the this is a remake you've never seen Jesus call the police a 30 minute version starting Senior called my Annie Hall sleep together hardly ever maybe only three times a week. This new version has a life all of its own, still sticking to the original film's witty banter and sexual humor.

See what's what's the matter I when we are rewriting the script. We never wanted sex for their age to be a joke when expansion was never one project is the brainchild of millennial duo 29-year-old Matt Starr and 25-year-old Lee Sachs. It all began when Starr was visiting his grandmother who had early onset Alzheimer's should look at me and she would say how it's going. I been out of school for a few years and answer.

She turned away take a bite. She takes how school became the cyclical conversations. It's really sad didn't have we lost watched the classic Casablanca together.

The change in his grandma and I noticed that he started reciting the line.

That's interesting.

So I played the role opposite her and I started reciting lines back. This is a really great way to communicate. You found an entry point yeah to her past communication exactly and and I was like maybe I can do this on a larger scale.

Still, he didn't know where to start until he talked to Ellie Sachs and I said have this great idea. I have no idea how to do it and she said will I do all that is how it started and how it started but it looked like curtains before it even began, senior homes rejected their idea until they turn to the Lenox Hill neighborhood house in New York City and they got your and seniors like Harry Miller and Shula churning day two I immediately said yes. I don't know if I picked up on their enthusiasm to see my such a creative topic. The fact that they were willing to deal with older people because of we could do so reader seniors were shown several trailers to choose from. The final vote was cast one of the things that make any Hall really special that it's a memory movie and I think at the film as a whole really asks the question what it wishes to remember and why are you a long-term relationship to remain happy shall well neither any original. The project itself became something to remember what was going to be a simple remake filmed on an iPhone turned into a large-scale production more than $10,000 was raised to turn their dream into a 20 person crew and three months of shooting, not to mention pounds and pounds of live lobster ordered. That way, fast forward to the big premier's full loneliness and misery and suffering is all over much too soon. Movie is only been screened a couple of times, each time brings a wide smile to the face of its 94-year-old star my face fill a 20 foot screen could nobody ever dreams that Woody Allen himself would catch wind of the project, but in reading about their story in the New York Times, Starr Sachs learned that Alan even gave it his blessing dropped you even think it would be in his radar people calling me a celebrity and getting letters from people I don't know about you, Harry: installers work over the summer for you deserve the happiest ending of all may be the special bond forged between the young and old, with no one left in his family. Harry now has surrogate grandchildren every week. The gang gets together for lunch. Stroll in the park or even dance classes grandfather adopted him and him us. What do we lose as people young people just don't celebrate and appreciate what our elderly population. What are we losing super lot dancing is potential to make incredible reminded me of another culture about the guy who goes to a psychiatrist is crazy.

You think she's a chicken and the doctor says why don't you turn a man and the guy says I will need the eggs will know that totally irrational, crazy, and absurd, but we keep on going through it because on Friday we observe the 77th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack that thrust America into World War II soldiers in that war treasure of letters from home, as have soldiers in the wars that followed. Steve Hartman has the tail of the girl in the letter inside a humble home in Wendell on a shelf behind this picture John Metzler keeps the letter that he says got them through the butanol is written by a girl in the sixth grade you to know this girl.

John was a 23-year-old Army helicopter gunner you got up in the morning. You always wondered what you would see the sun go down that night because he had such a deadly job such a thankless that little girl mattered.

It arrived on Christmas Day 1970 simply read, in part, dear servicemen, I want to give my sincere thanks for going over the war to fight for us. The class hopes you will be able to come home, signed Donna K obviously could have gone to any soldier, but John took it very personally is not just the letter right then. Sure isn't doesn't mean as much to you today as it did when you got it you effectively commence more today than others. When I got it because she said thank you long ago Johnny Vanessa family members to find this Donna K. They couldn't at least that's what they told him she's actually alive and well, about to deliver a second thank you message this one person I remember writing sixth grade I was amazed that I could have the opportunity to write to the servicemen and maybe make his life a little simpler for a couple of minutes you took this assignment seriously only absolutely and she continues to take it seriously. That's why she flew all the way from Florida to surprise unsuspecting's real John's anonymous girl in the letter has become almost cliché.

Thank a veteran for his or her service.

John says we still be disabled because they're not only appreciated sometimes there desperately needed. Thank you all my profile it's very close to home for me.

Hard as it may be to believe it's been 15 years since Gary Trudeau first started drawing his Doonesbury comic strip, but the proof can be found in one of the most prestigious libraries in the land in the Meineke rare book and manuscript Library, Yale University. The items on display include the Gutenberg Bible early copy of the Declaration of Independence you feel very and cartoons by Gary Trudeau that was one of the very first all bull tales just makes me cringe.

Look at the stuff Gary of course is my husband, and truth be told, we've never done anything like this before I carry my day. I like to say that this wasn't my idea. I never said no. But I didn't exactly say yes I said okay you know you never said thank you. Here we are fairly making his first appearance right right is a collectors item's work is now the Doonesbury archive at Yale where in 1968, then 20-year-old students comic strip creations began from counterculture to curated what a strange trip it's been. But it was your dream come true. If it was not, it was more or less an accidental career seemed to me that I was going to be bound this thing for you know extensive.

My life now here's 50 years later, half a century of social commentary and political satire cast of characters that became family. Boopsie Duke, Joni Mike, to name a few. To appreciate the artist travel beyond Doonesbury planet to the small-town shores of Saranac Lake, New York. Gary you are the most archival person I have ever known.

Gary started looking back on his life when he was 12, and this is one of the last times a day, personally appeared in my own performance, said got braces and that the minutes of Gary was in impresario was a kid staging his own basement productions. I love that telegram from Mr. Garrett Trudeau Saranac Lake. Best of luck on your opening night the plays gave way to painting this moody piece one award there was basically no montage to my hero than Francisco Gioia.

Even though it's extremely pressing. Of his life is called the block.

You were a teenager and you felt like you could relate to this black guy was the whole thing didn't last.

What dad was the humor just was fun and people enjoyed it evidenced in weenie man Gary's anti-superhero I had with high school classmates. This fanatic must be stopped. Let's dump on. We now that comic calling followed him to college was a lot of excitement and hype surrounding the team and the Yale bowl wherefrom high up in the bleachers among admiring undergraduates Gary Trudeau watched Ivy quarterback phenom Brian Dowling Brian Dowling running down the field and Gary Trudeau metaphorically arrived in his coattails, that's exactly great deal Brian.

I cooked up this idea about the team and specifically about about Brian Dowling who I renamed BDM script and I took them in and the managing editor looked at them and shrugged and said sure will we print anything. The Yale daily news dad called bull tales it caught on. Shortly after graduation. It was renamed Doonesbury and syndicated in newspapers around the country. What when you started, you were kind of a phenom and let's face it you look at a page of comic strips from those early days is buried and stand out stood out for being so combat at its height. Doonesbury appeared in nearly 2000 papers made the cover of time. There were also bands and boycotts 1975 Gary Trudeau won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning. The first four comic strip the actual price itself was a piece of paper and check and arrived in the mail.

Not long after I entered the picture.

It was a set up engineered by Gary's friend and my today cohost Tom Brokaw next week and I never saw Barry until after I met you and your friends told you should guide and I didn't I didn't know much about Doonesbury honeymoon, how well we we had. We got we got married roughly and before we could leave for our honeymoon. We had to go back up to New York because you were on deadline strips to finish up and finish them off to the airport was always working around the margins of family life and you know we won't know until all comes tumbling out in therapy for our children. What kind of damage was done by my constant sneaking off to work I imagine even now half of your audience watching this go really should cartoonist she cut so much better that happened was that your dream. No, no, you must be.

Who did you think you would end up with industrialist are now. I was holding out for cartoonist earnings from Nixon on presidents make frequent Doonesbury appearances.

Donald Trump was on Gary's comic strip radar 30 years before taking office. This is 31 years ago. Your first Doonesbury featuring Donald J. Trump. He was well-known enough by that time he sees denying any political ambitions. No no no no.

I'm just being Rick says okay but if you did run for Congress and Trump reports president the president so that's that was so this is been there for a long long time of tens of thousands of straps, the one of BD losing his leg in the Iraq war had the biggest impact on readers almost immediate release could not your time bro.

His leg is missing that startling and the fact that he didn't have a helmet on, was was noteworthy and just a startling the strip is appeared in the armed services military newspaper Stars & Stripes since 1973. Along the way is been nominated for an Academy animated there's been a Broadway show and Amazon but for the grown-up impresario is that accidental career that will leave the most memorable legacy Gary Trudeau the chronicler of the generational counterculture has turned seven. Part of the what they call legacy scripts like a legacy band.

He been around forever and and that gives you a certain amount of job security.

I'll probably stay in newspapers but all going to be around as long as newspapers are. I'll be one of those guys who turns out the lights, the one it's Sunday morning on CBS and here again is Jane Hawley well more than just starring in the new holiday movie Mary Poppins returns is also gearing up for an important encore David Bechtold has a preview when Lindeman will Miranda the state's revolutionary creation. Hamilton back in 2015. He made theater history. He soon left Hamilton behind for a flurry of other projects which included writing songs for the animated 2016 film Alana that turned Oscar this past Friday on a star on the Hollywood walk of faith.

But for three weeks in January. Lindeman will Miranda is going to take a step back, resuming his role in Hamilton not to change history but hope subject's nearly 15 months ago.

Hurricane Maria Ravitch, the Puerto Rico by some estimates, nearly 3000 people died. The storm led to the largest power outage in US history. Not long after the storm and ran to return to the his parents were born and where he spent summers as a young boy my grandfather built house around the porch. We were with him as he toward what remained of his grandparents home in Vega, Alta, I'm jumping back in and it was during that visit that he announced to us that he would be reprising the role made him 24 performance report of a multimillion dollar fundraising effort that Miranda is lead proceeds from the shows go to supporting parts. There's a Winkler where better. We thought to sit out and check in with that on the stage where the now 38-year-old Miranda first performed Hamilton on so you're doing a musical about a guy who grew up in the Caribbean and left because of hurricane and I to take this Hamilton show to the Caribbean, yet it's full circle because it was supposed to go back they said here's money for scholarship go become a doctor and then come back and never can become a busy and a little busy with the revolution. It will be interesting in the accident happened in the wake of Maria. How many people will leave because they had to and I don't go back.

Having grown up in New York your parents be from what is the best at bringing Hamilton to the island can do for our goal is to basically raise money for arts on the islands that the arts can recover as other sectors of of Puerto Rican life recover and left $10,010 tickets on the island of your lottery that were just holding every Wednesday matinee. All $10 for the rehearsal started not long in the cast wrong you grew up just a few miles from the San Juan stage where he will now perform right alongside Miranda first Puerto Rican King grown please. Britain's King George III of the city for about two years there's been a be a guy who grew up on the island in the show. My blowing without a doubt, you are guy, the one the root like this, but be fine. I'm an old gypsy so I know my way around the nerves.

Unlike the rest of the Hamilton cast Miranda passed very little time to get ready.

I will have a week.

I also have this movie very Poppins returns coming out what you think. Very Poppins Miranda please Lamplighter Jack anxiously awaited Disney remake of the classic film that boy from the Big Apple whose won a Pulitzer, a Grammy and multiple Tony awards says he is on happened in front of an audience already son it makes me very emotional to talk about. I knew if Hamilton was good to get to go to Puerto Rico in any way shape or form one of experience that in the first person, about 41st president prompted reflection and respect from veteran journalist and author Evan Thomas George Bush's mother taught him not to brag, don't use the great I am, she said learn the lesson almost too well. Politicians are supposed to boast. That's how they get elected. But Bush came across on the stop is kind of uncomfortable with himself at the same time he could seem too eager to please his mother told him you should always share with others. Bush was so determined to share that his nickname as a boy was have half when he was Ronald Reagan's VP. He seemed to be so willing to accommodate the more conservative president that he came across to some as a kind of a yes-man. I was a Washington bureau chief for Newsweek at the time and we did a cover story on Bush called fighting the web factor we made him look manly on the cover talked about his wartime bravery, but by using the word. The overall impression was that maybe Bush was sort of a web boy were we wrong. As President Bush showed a quiet kind of courage to do the right thing even if it cost him politically running for president in 1988 he had promised no new taxes, but when it became clear that the only way to cut the out-of-control federal deficit was to raise taxes, he did it. That took guts.

It probably cost him reelection in 1992 at the same time at the end of the Cold War. He put out the word no gloating, no posting the Berlin wall and come down the Soviet Union was collapsing, but Bush had the great wisdom to know that it was a mistake to taunt George Bush was ambitious.

Yes, he was and he could be politically expedient, but he was also humble, Bush believed really believed in country first. He was the last of his kind how much we miss him today. I'm Jane Pauley. Thank you for listening and please join us again next Sunday morning with preacher Gary this week.
