John McCain, the son and grandson of four-star admirals. McCain spent more than 20 years in the Navy before serving as a congressman and then Sen. from Arizona for the past three decades, Chip Reid will look back on a remarkable life in public service. I've been in a perfect serving my country for many years but I better serve in first last and all Sen. John McCain-based cancer. The way he had any adversity in his life. Strength, integrity and gratitude. I have feelings sometimes of fear of what happens. But as soon as I get back I say what you been around a long time old man you had a great life you had a great experience.

Later on Sunday morning remembering John McCain were taking another look back at the year 1968 this morning will remember the political earthquake that was the Democratic national convention in Chicago. Chicago born Scott Simon is our guide. 50 years ago this week, the war was raging, half a world away triggered a battle on the streets of Chicago American saw this thing unfolding on television. Protesters, young protesters with light states, and it never really seen anything quite like that.

Remember 1968 Democratic convention on Sunday will have those stories and more just to any standards. John McCain was an American hero remembrance now from correspondent to breed in perfect serving my country for many years but I better serve in first last and all the status quo in Washington do not support John McCain. He was an American hero.

What the Vietnam experience did for me was crystallizing importance of doing what's right. How you end is a military man and statesman by most any standard Arizona Sen. John McCain was a man of courage and ideal I know who I am and what I want to do. John McCain six term senator from Arizona to the last summer, McCain began another euro is fighting the biggest battle of his life of personal struggle against the Republican care. I will not bore bill as it is today. It was the latest example of John McCain voting his conscience even if it meant bucking his own party. I was raised in the concept and belief that duty on our country is the lodestar for the behavior that we have to exhibit every single day born in 1936 John Sidney McCain. The third was the son and grandson of four-star Navy and maverick and came out early.

I was very rebellious.

I was a person who didn't conform to the rules and regulations of either high school or the Naval Academy. Nevertheless, he volunteered for combat duty during the Vietnam War. In October 1967 as a Navy pilot flying his 23rd bombing mission over North Vietnam is plain was shot down by missile or antiaircraft fire which claim straight down check my leg's severely injured. McCain was captured and held so-called Hanoi Hilton infamous prison known for its brutality. After about a year he was offered early release because of his family connections, but McCain refused to leave his fellow POWs behind became languished in captivity for a total of 5 1/2 years.

He withstood frequent beatings and torture, leaving his arms with permanent damage. In many ways it was the most uplifting experience my life because I was privileged to serve in the company of 1982 after he retired from the military took his fighting spirit to Washington as a United States congressman.

He went on to be elected six times to the Senate stood out for his strength talk, especially subjects like campaign-finance special-interest continue to play a greater and greater role in the formulation of legislation, then we will see a breakdown of democracy as we know it and I'm not exaggerating, but in the late 1980s, McCain himself along with four other senators, was accused of exerting improper influence on regulators were investigating allegations of Savings and Loan fraud against financier Charles Keating. McCain was never disciplined is because I All-America more than she has ever owed me that I am a candidate for president of the United States and then 2008 won the Republican nomination to run against Democratic Sen. Barack Obama during that historic campaign times was racially charged. McCain's sense of right and wrong is on display is an error is not no man, no man is he's a decent family man citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with the ticket. McCain's campaign may be best remembered for his controversial choice of running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. The fact is that she has done a credible job and I'm so proud of the work that she's doing McCain was defeat Obama places I had the honor of calling Sen. Barack Obama to congratulate him, congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.

He returned to the Senate, where he led the armed services committee, but in 2015. He would find himself in the crosshairs of then Republican presidential warrior is a war. I like people that were A year later, McCain withdrew his endorsement of drug after audio emerged of the candidate bragging about groping women strain between the two Republicans continued after Pres. Trump took office. When Sen. McCain was blunt with his criticism say is I think we've seen this movie before.

I think it's reaching the point where Watergate size, scale, and a couple of other scandals you and I have seen is center.

The shoe continues to drop last summer when the senator's health issues became public. The outpouring of respect and admiration overflow. Choked up and then of course all of them coming over. I had never seen anything like that to the end.

John McCain faced cancer as he had any adversity, strength, integrity, and gratitude. I have feelings sometimes of fear of what happens.

But as soon as I get I say what you been around a long time old man you had a great life you had a great experience. I want I want when I leave that the ceremony is at the Naval Academy and we just have a couple people say this guy.

He served his country to unforgettable adventure page from our Sunday morning on August 26, 1940, 78 years ago today, Rushmore Hollywood found its voice. It's about being the life of the party for on that day, Don Lafontaine, the king of coming attractions was born in Duluth, Minnesota.

You might not recognize the name or the face. Surely you remember this judgment day.

This time he's back or this family comedy without the family home alone. He still the same old dad Mrs. Doubtfire is 33 year career Don Lafontaine lent his voice 5000 movie trailers blackjack but lethal weapon for and 300,000 commercial yes you heard right Baldwin Jamie Lee Curtis virus is an ominous melodramatic baritone became known in the business as the LG or voice of God and as he told yes news 1998. It was a gift from above. I was 13 years old and my mother was doing dishes with the dishes. After a stint in the Army.

Lafontaine was working for a New York radio station when he and a colleague formed a company to produce movie trailers 1965, a mixup prevented an announcer for making a section Lafontaine stepped up to the mic and found all his. He will be known for his catchphrase in a world where this line became so popular. Lafontaine spooked himself in a 2005 Geico commercial both of our cars were totally underwater. Don Lafontaine died in 2008 at the age of 68. But as long as there are movies and coming attractions will be playing at a theater near you before there were podcasts there was television. Remember, see what's new under the sun every Sunday morning. The year is 1968 the month of August and Scott Simon of NPR is taking us back in time. All worlds collided. 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago will take 61 of the most dramatic and traumatic years, patient's history on the Chicago all ruled the Chicago could feel it coming Bill Daley would become Pres. Obama's Chief of Staff was a college student and spent the convention at the side of his father, Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley. We know that there was going to be an enormous challenge on the streets.

My father believed that he was the defender of the city. These groups are demanding permission to march on convention hall night. The Democrats nominate their candidate for president.

Thousands of protesters expected 12,000 Chicago police officers were deployed along with the National Guard Democratic convention began respect, the country was being torn apart by the lawn before joining CBS News Bob Schieffer was a young reporter 1968 attending his first national convention. It was supposed to be a place where the Democrats were not get their business altogether. But everybody knew it was going to be difficult I will not nomination of my party for another term.

Your brother, Pres. Johnson was forced out by the success of Sen. Eugene McCarthy in New Hampshire. Robert Kennedy was a session 91 the California private VP Hubert Humphrey didn't enter any primaries which favored to win the nomination. Hubert Humphrey was the establishment and he represented the big bosses in the traditional Democratic Party, the politicians, the big city mayors. They were certainly not satisfied with Jean McCarthy. His soul campaign was Ali and the war in Vietnam, the city said here of assassinations and riots. It couldn't grant Mr. protesters march in the convention sleep and city probably going to be some problems we health will check and that he was a rookie policeman in 1968 posted to the protest grant come home from the station and the extra all my buddies went on Wednesday night 20 confrontation been building all week. Probably all you first open on the street between Grant Park first Street after finally said if you don't move the street was clearly strict. That's that's what we had to do that night just swinging a club like just a bunch of idiots. Problem wasn't a problem was there were a lot of parking next to me. He cohosts brick in the chest. The notion that anybody party with Marilyn Katz was the 23-year-old head of security for students for a Democratic Society felt that one nation and told his party narrowly from things in order. Did you ever see throw anything back to the violence in Grant Park was indeed seen all over the world and at the convention, please demonstrators or delegates won the Democratic nomination by more than a thousand. Once why all this trouble. It happened in Chicago, the nomination was worth the paper it was written all Richard Nixon ran on a law and order platform and won the presidency in a close election. At the end of 1968, a special commission called what happened that night on the streets of Chicago police run Bill, Jack, and Eddie was redecorated in 1979, taking two bullets to free 13 hostages says well it was the police and Marilyn Katz. Now all well-connected public relations executive agree to much blame cops. I think that that mistake really wanted to maintain control of Richard J. Daley would be reelected after 1968, his actions at the Democratic convention.

He brought home here exchanges imaging history of the party and see your father about his actions or anything differently we would try to get a sense of around the police action because he thought that they were provoked challenged yeah he wish it didn't happen in the heat of a motion right some placement may have overreacted but he was not somebody go back and anguish over decisions made in those times with the energy for black and white was good.

There was bad cops are bad now demonstrators are good. I remember yeah but likes more gray is the tallest 20 inches in sports. The distance between the diving board and the surface of the water can feel like A body like especially when it's half your body like which is why all summer long for-year-old has been cheating the system gradually lowering himself in the water like a fragile, his mom, Marla pressure try was no interest in enter 95-year-old Daniel bis drafted McDaniels in the Air Force during road work to increase radio operator knows a thing or two about fear when he saw this neighborhood kid at a family pool party in Canton, Ohio, heard everyone trying to coax them off the board just wouldn't know exactly what is needed convincing.

I just try so Daniel borrowed a swimsuit and with cane in hand, stepped up to set the example. This is a miracle one could Lazarus himself risen up to the springboard and did feel that way. Great-grandfather had been on a diving board and 50 years there ready and willing lesson encourage almost turned into a lesson. Everyone had alike held their breath. I got real nervous like a bad idea that will go through with and so at the age of 95.

He dove for the prettiest dive. No no no I never actually because shortly after Daniel took his last jump off the diving board. Dylan took his first day that inspired this all happened last month and today Dylan jumps no problem. Hopefully his courage will now inspire you with whatever leap you need to make Ken Chennault is one of America's most respected CEOs, the former boss of no less a corporate titan, then American Express this morning.

CBS News special correspondent James Brown talks to Chennault about his road to the corner office. It's a big day at American Express headquarters in New York.

After 37 years. This is CEO Ken Chennault last thousands of years have shown up to say goodbye is a rock star to the green card and preternaturally calm leader stands up our patiently taking self. He admits this can be a bit overwhelming to hear people say you change my life.

You are an inspiration. How much better does it get in life and what a life is been at the time of his retirement in February intentional was one of just four African-Americans running a Fortune 500 company. Someone told me I can't conceive of an African-American ever running a major division at American Express and my response was, then you haven't met many African Americans is a class act.

Very simply, a person that you love the average trustee of your will your daughter be your next door neighbor, whatever it might be Warren Buffett's dimensional's friend for over 20 years. Buffett is also the largest shareholder in American Express you called him the gold standard of CEO leadership pretty high praise.

What did you mean by that I meant you couldn't do better than what Ken is accomplished, but the ways.born in 1951 Ken Chennault grew up in a mostly African-American neighborhood on Long Island, New York. The third of four children.

His father was a dentist and his mother a dental hygienist, how would you describe your childhood, I had to parents who really cared about us.

Never forget the headmaster of the school telling me the story when I was about to graduate from high school saying when your mother was investigating our school. She said I wanted environment where if one of my children has the opportunity they can be president of the United States. He attended private school and then went on to Bowdoin College in Maine. Very turbulent times when we were in college. Yes, what kind of influence that what America was going through that time have on you. It had a profound influence on me.

I received opportunities as result, Brown the Board of Education to be there and to witness and to be involved in the civil rights movement was very important but at the same time I wanted to be open to people from all over the world. His worldview expanded when he went on to Harvard Law school, and while there he met his future wife, Catherine, my things and attract me to Ken. This intelligence treats other people's integrity of the qualities my mother had told me to look for. They married in 1977.

Kathy became a lawyer as well. I had no idea when I was in law school that I was going to pursue a career in business.

What I didn't know is that I wanted to be a leader in 1981, was recruited by American Express.

Any took on a big challenge running a division that was in trouble they were losing money and I really was able to put together a team and figure out how to motivate people to do things that they didn't think were possible, and we went from hundred million dollars in sales and losing money over $700 million in sales and it was one of the most formative experiences of my career that began a meteoric rise at AMEX, propelling Chennault to Pres. and COO in 1997. Then into the corner office in 2001. What was the first thing that you did when you got the news I really reflected on what it meant what it meant for me for the company for African-Americans. I really saw it as a privilege just months later, his leadership was tested on 911 American Express lost 11 employees and suffered major damage to its headquarters. It was a horrific tragedy for the world and for America and I assembled all of our employees. Our company is sound. Our hearts are even stronger in our minds will get clearer. We will overcome American Express. We Built St., Washington with shock and fear. AMEX was tested again in the great recession of 2008. It was a scary time for anybody running about financial institution. He kept his head while others were losing theirs and I never worried about Ken taking us through a very stormy sea shuttle was CEO of American Express for 17 years now at 67. He is taking his leadership to Silicon Valley as a venture capitalist and board member of Facebook and air B&B has technology and digital done enough to change the broader society.

I think there's more to do their for the Chennault and sons, Kenneth and Kevin. It was an emotional farewell American Express employees from around the world gathered to show their appreciation every country when two people cry cry now. What did that kind of reaction from the employees say to you about your husband 11 is going. Kathy would say, her husband held it together. For the most part. But on that last day even. He got a bit emotional. Thank you for giving me the opportunity of my life coming soon. Most obituaries a podcast on matters of death. Life from Mo Rocca. I'm Jane Pauley.
