The popstar's faith sale he has to show us are confined to a concert stage or a video screen from dazzling soap bubbles to the boring levels of the ocean certain bubbles shape our world almost right here on the physical plane would also bubbles other place on Sunday morning. Science 14 and you might just suck stone sent us a postcard from the dolomite stunning beauty dolomite is apparent to anyone who visits Italy's Alps to bulky job. You and your bedding season much more in this war going. This form is for the real problems. He selects wood bits just right for making musical instruments when you look around the forest like this you can say that's a violin at the cello. This is a piano sound board. Yes, except for deists is perfect for very violent its trunk is long and straight, and has few branches or knots where we are working colleague in sister-in-law.

She bases his instrument makers have been harvesting from this MA Valley almost 6 centuries.

They want of a famous process ASAP very very light and elastic, and it makes it sound better.

This makes it sound Alpine Spruce grows evenly at this elevation drop down in the fall during the waning moon when there is the least amount of sap in the tree trees must be not to be more you must have a piece of war that affect the perfect without the fix is cut into wedges aged for at least six years fine wine is enough aging and should aces workshop to make violin tops four 1000 orchestras. That's where Bernard Newman comes in the minerals that the trees access to is very very good for making a wood that strong and at the same time light green Newman in his business partner, American Bruce Carlson opened up shop together three decades ago when the northern Italian town of Pomona violin was born perfect music seeps from its nearly 150 violin shop thing here in Tony's Stradivarius worked here and is remembered in the city which is now a UNESCO world heritage site for violin making Newman carries on the tradition. Using many of the same tools and that all important Spruce for the face of the instrument. The base is made from maple award that I chose has to have the physical qualities but also has to have a kind of energy and already it has a voice you think of what is having energy your voice now but that's that's the whole thing. So the body of the instrument basically not witnessed Alessandro Farnum demonstrated Newman explain to students visiting from Maryland. If you do with this one probably is like this in the special with the vibrance that resonates which for centuries led some violin maker into these as some of us may recall bubbles were a trademark of the classic Lawrence Welk TV show.

Then as now bubbles are genuine, popstar's as faith, say late now shows us something magical about, so gravity's floating pleading, iridescent or right here on the physical plane other place Tom not he should know he is one of the world's foremost artists exploring the topsy-turvy wonderful world of bubbles for some 40 years bubbles bubbles clear bubbles along the way he met our very own Charles Kuralt at San Francisco's exploratory him. Each trail away from him.

Whatever you want. 35 years later, wandering minstrel wandered back to the exploratory him to show us his latest creations. The volcano starts with an earthquake and the eruption. My initial attraction was just beauty just the colors were so beautiful that the spheres were so nearly perfect, but I have a background in science.

What I when I went to college, I majored in antiwar demonstrations, but the only guys I knew anything about what I was doing was sciences love you have to overcome surface tension spend a minute or two is not he and you really blows him away beauty city of the lonely bubble. It's really it's a network it's electrical network molecules in space and their link to each other electrically.

That is to say one end of a soap molecule is attracted to a nearby water molecule electrically.

The bubble is this network the whole thing is interdependent if I would separate a couple molecules right here… Couple of distances apart from each other the entire network will come apart are. In other words, for years bubbles have been a staple of children's entertainment were able to see what pops just as likely to find them in the lab as you are the playground bubbles are important because they transport gases and into liquids and liquid into gases in James Byrd's lab at Boston University. Lots of experiments are bubbling away. They can affect the way you perceive or smell certain beverages of champagne. The aroma and flavor is enhanced by having small holes are able to help Jeff's droplets taste ice cream you're eating bubbles when you churn ice cream you're folding here into it without bubbles ice cream would be hard as well. Ice when you hear waves crashing. You are actually listening to. Not many people know the sound of the surf the tinkling fountain. The babbling brook, the Russian war for almost sounds, bubbles, grandson Dean at the Scripps institution of oceanography at UC San Diego counts bubbles in the ocean and in CIA spy.

Believe it or not listening to them every time a bubbles form makes a pulse of sound is musical tones. It's like about ready.

It's supposed to sound the sound of bubble makes depends on as the bubbles get smaller and smaller, they radiate higher and higher tones and so it's from the tone frequency we can figure out the size of the more bubbles you have allowed her to serve by measuring bubbles see as we can understand the workings of our ocean. The bubbles lie at the hot everything that's going on at the ocean surface when a wave breaks the bubbles pushed into the water as they do that they help transfer gases from the atmosphere into the ocean about carbon dioxide ends up in the ocean and bubbles help carry there's no doubt bubbles connect our world in ways large and small, from the bubbles of oxygen that fill our lungs to the bubblewrap that keeps our packages safe key scientists have built computers that use bubbles in circuits instead of electrical pulses to convey information. Doctors are not even using microscopic bubbles to administer Madison popping them with ultrasound to precisely deliver drugs so the next time you see bubble to appreciate its delicate shade colors mysteries all morning and this memory of my I love watching her blow some bubbles of my heart flutter. There is mathematics to it. It can be explained and discussed it but it's just something you most Washington whistleblowers do what they do out of the spotlight, not the man-hour. Steve Hartman met with Chris whistling is hardly this time international whistling champion's partner in the Carlyle group and investment firm is better in Washington 30 years working at the highest levels in both the private and public sectors along the way he is earned a reputation as perhaps DC's only universally admired whistleblower George W. Bush, John Casey, George H. W.

Bush has performed cream court justices to read reviews people seek it out to me that connect encapsulates the power of the Parker unfortunately his whistling hasn't always been used in harmony back in 95. Then House Majority Leader Dick Army summoned Chris to attendance budget negotiation.

He wanted a song. But it wasn't come together or we can work it out as Dick's government shut down shortly after so you could argue these lips shut down Crystal 20 years later, he's not just not whistling Dixie anymore. Today he's using his talents almost exclusively for the most apolitical purpose of all. Prepare yourself. It just transcends the partisanship of Washington virtually every day up to eight times a day. Chris was as happy to people all over the map whether they were cubicles or Oval Office, Democrat or Republican. The whistle helps me get beyond the politics I am going to love you I'm going to honor you because of you and that is the bottom line is that we have forgotten to love each other we forgotten to respect each other. That is the problem to bed and he wrote a book encouraging others to find their special gift and use it to change lives. He says what America needs right now isn't a big fix what it needs is a million small gestures and as we start this week. The government shut down behind might be wise for our leaders think of the 1968 was a year like no other and throughout this year will be taking a look back we started in Vietnam with the Tet Offensive, which began 15 years ago this coming Wednesday. David Martin has the story of Americans under fire in the front line city of way 26 Day Battle Way was Fort Street house by house by rule 216 American troops were killed and another 1300 wounded. They were real bad right now. Second, return their first a lot of people 10,000 North Vietnamese and Vietcong had seized way at the outset of the Tet Offensive is in the Marines were sent to Claude Beth. If there's anything close to hill it had to be with. That's the voice of Sgt. Bob Tom's wounded six times but still alive today in this photo is leading an assault on a tower. The enemy was using to shoot down on American troops night before you join his Marine buddy God. We know were about to see you in person know love and Marines and don't embarrass ourselves our families.

One of the images in this exhibit of the first 12 men that went up the tower and within 30 seconds.

Five were critically injured John Olson another 20-year-old Army photographer took these extraordinary photos, including this sequence wounded marinas in agony, wrapped in a blanket.

He whispers the Lord's prayer as his life slips away, and another wounded Marine stands guard. Later a chaplain administers last rites. It wasn't totally new combat experience for all these men they'd never been in house to house fighting before ocean photos are known exhibit at the Museum in Washington DC to mark the 50th anniversary of the Tet Offensive chose the most certainly would be the Offense changed how people doing so would change the war itself on America's most trusted news man went away the longest and bloodiest battle of small and came back to tell the public the war could not be one seems now more certain of the experience of the is in a stalemate.

Nothing deliver that message more vividly than Olson's photo of wounded Marines being carried out of way on a tank when I see when I look at that photo today are 718, 19, 20-year-old kids badly wounded Japan from the shirtless figure is an 18-year-old Marine shot through the chest symbol of American innocence shredded by the reality of Vietnam.

I remember well his name is AB Grantham and he is now 68 years old, having come as close to death as it is possible to come was called sucking chest wound that the breastbone went through the right side and exited under my shoulder blade was thankful very much a very hot to stop the bleeding bleeding what and the main problem to begin with. It was breathing. I couldn't breathe because have hold chest how close did you come I don't think it could get any closer. They had just hit me up into a body bag and I remember somebody say on this one's not dead yet and behold you know they got me out and I made it. None of the Marines on the tank were identified and that was fine with Grantham, who didn't want people to know yet been to hell and back. Tried to hide back into society and just fade away. You know and be like everybody else in life, normal life, but it didn't last the war has a way of rearing its ugly head from time to time. Once you want to learn something. It's hard to unlearn what is your I learned that humanity can be very cruel to each other. Grantham was diagnosed with severe and chronic PTSD for 29 of the past 50 years he has been in therapy doesn't go anywhere without his service dog go a lot of memories a lot of nightmare a lot of resentment to what it happened? What we were put through no more still rears its ugly head.

But Grantham is hiding no longer Dr. Scott save my life, 50 years after Chet the Marine on the tank says it's time to see that war more clearly. I'm hoping that the public can embrace the war now and they can learn exactly what happened and what well known in that we had many many many heroes that didn't come back with us from over there live Jane Pauley.
