COVER STORY: SAD
ALMANAC: The Death of Busby Berkeley
DISPATCH: SANAA
MOVIES: "Green Zone"
NOSTALIGIA: Tallulah Bankhead
Tallulah Bankhead was the original naughty girl of Hollywood and the Broadway stage. Beautiful and talented, she was also a heavy drinker, vulgar, fond of drugs, and exceedingly promiscuous. Her eccentric mannerisms - she called every one "Darling!" - have been fodder for drag queens as well as cartoon characters (Cruella de Vil in Disney’s "101 Dalmatians" is styled on Bankhead).
Now a new play about Bankhead is about to open on Broadway starring Valerie Harper ("Rhoda"). It is called "Looped" and is about a day when an inebriated Bankhead showed up to narrate some additional sound for her last film, 1965's "Die, Die, My Darling."
Rita Braver reports.

"The Money Issue" With Anthony Mason
SQUEEZED: The Great American Paycheck Squeeze
For more than 30 years, America’s middle class hasn’t just been squeezed, it’s been ripped off, according to Larry Mishel, President of the Economic Policy Institute. From the late 1970s through today, as workers in this country raised their productivity an astonishing 70%, their wages rose only 4%.
Where did all the rest of the money from that increased productivity go? To the upper 1% of the population - yes, the rich have been getting richer . . . by a lot.
But some companies are working to reverse the trend of overworked, under-appreciated, and underpaid workers. Jim Axelrod visits SAS, a business software company in Cary, N.C., which was chosen by Fortune Magazine as the #1 best company to work for in the United States in 2009.
Along with cash bonuses and profit-sharing, SAS also offers employees a mind-boggling array of perks, from on-site daycare and pre-school, to a free health clinic, a 60,000 square foot fitness center, yoga and pilates classes, summer camp, and more.

FAST TRACK: Hyundai: Driven to Success
Once widely perceived as a second-rate car maker - even the butt of jokes - the Korean brand Hyundai today is rocketing both in terms of quality and popularity. In its current car issue rating auto quality, Consumer Reports says that Hyundai “has made real strides in the last year… jumping to fourth place from ninth last year.” And last year, when industry car sales were way down, Hyundai’s were up.
Correspondent Martha Teichner reports on the not-do-sudden acceleration of this Korean carmaker and what makes the company run so fast.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT: When is the Price Right?
Moneywatch Editor-at-Large Jill Schlesinger investigates how we perceive prices. It turns out we don’t have a good built-in sense of price, just a very good sense of relative prices. That’s why a sweater put on sale at $39 will outsell the same sweater priced at $35! Price consultants are hired to figure these things out, and Schlesinger gets consultant Frank Luby to spill some of the tricks of his trade. He reveals how to raise the price of something without most people noticing. Author William Poundstone reveals how some items are used as price anchors - so, for example, nobody may buy a hamburger on a menu at $150, but by comparison those $50 steaks start to look more reasonable. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely shows how these irrational responses are in fact predictable.

BILL GEIST: A Triptych of Entrepreneurs
The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well, and this Sunday Morning Bill Geist introduces us to three unique exemplars:
Sean O’Connor knew there was a better way to make pancakes and he knew people would pay for it, so he came up with "Batter Blaster" - pancake batter in a spray can - and people are eating it up! In 2008, Batter Blaster’s annual revenues hit approximately $15 million.
Denise Pullen could have never guessed when she shined her first shoes as a fluke more than twenty years ago that she would find her calling. This pioneer of the women’s shoe shining industry has traveled the world with her 24 chairs and has been passionately shining shoes - some pretty well-known shoes! - for the last 26 years.
It has been said that "what the Bundt pan did for cake, Matt Griffin did for brownies." He decided no one really wanted the brownies in the center of the pan, so he re-invented the pan. With his invention, every brownie could have crisp chewy edges on at least two sides, and brownie lovers seem to think that’s a great idea. The "Baker’s Edge" brownie pan has been the top selling bakeware on Amazon.com for the last two years.

COVER STORY: The Whys and Why-Nows of Procrastination
We're all guilty of it sometimes. Some of us procrastinate a lot of the time, and the reasons why may surprise you. John Blackstone gets around, eventually, to digging up some of the tangled roots of our procrastination habits, and with the help of a small army of time management experts, offers some advice on how to overcome them.
Among the people Blackstone visits in his quest: Diana DeLonzor, author of "Never Be Late Again: 7 Cures for the Punctually Challenged"; Jordan Goldberg, CEO of StikK.com, a Web site for those who want to stop procrastinating and keep their resolutions; Suzanne Shu, Marketing Professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management, and author of several studies on the Procrastination of Pleasure; psychologist Dr. Lenora Yuen, co-author (with Dr. Jane Burka) of "Procrastination: Why You Do It, What to Do About It Now"; Marty Nemko, career coach; and Barbara McKay Smith, a busy wife and mother of two, who is always, always trying, and often failing, to beat the clock.

HISTORY: Secrets of the Lost City of Z
Famed British explorer Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett was one of Britain's greatest explorers, the last of a breed who plunged into uncharted territories with little more than a machete and a divine sense of purpose and would emerge, months later, starving and near death, with maps of some of the most remote regions of the world.
Fawcett's survival skills were legendary, and his exploits so well-known that Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, used Fawcett's adventures as the basis for his book "The Lost World," which became the blueprint for an entire genre of science-fiction favorites, including "Indiana Jones," "King Kong" and "Jurassic Park."
In 1925 Fawcett led a daring expedition to the Amazon in search of a "lost world" he was convinced was hidden deep in the jungle. But this time, Fawcett went into the jungle and never came out - no trace of him or his expedition was ever found. Thus began one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the past century. Hundreds of people went in search of Fawcett, and many died trying to find him. For more than 85 years the question of Fawcett's fate remained unsolved . . . until now.
Correspondent Anthony Mason speaks with intrepid writer David Grann, who traced Fawcett's footsteps into the Amazon jungle, and recounts the explorer's last days in his best-selling novel, "The Lost City of Z."

COVER STORY: The Right Chemistry
If you're one of those people who think that lifelong romance is an eternal mystery, take heart: scientists now have a better understanding of exactly what happens when we fall for someone, and how the most torrid affairs of the heart are sometimes little more than functions of the brain. Tracy Smith reports.

STATE OF THE UNION: Presidential Marriages
If you've ever wondered what happens to a marriage when the President and First Lady move into the White House, correspondent Martha Teichner takes you behind the scenes. She interviews Kati Marton, author of "Hidden Power: Presidential Marriages That Shaped Our Recent History," who says that while couples in the White House are in many ways like all couples, they "are different from the rest of us in that they have to put the presidency ahead of everything else in their lives for those four or eight years. . . . If they don't, they don't succeed, because the responsibility is so crushing and the scrutiny so total."

CRAZY HEART: Jeff Bridges
Jeff Bridges is often referred to as one of the most underappreciated actors in Hollywood. This year, though, he's feeling the love. His role as down-and-out country singer Bad Blake in the low-budget film "Crazy Heart" has earned him the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards, and made him a favorite for this year's Best Actor Oscar. In this Valentine's Day profile, correspondent Cynthia Bowers talks with Bridges about his career, his enduring marriage, and the film that's bringing him so much recognition. Joining Bridges are the film's other Oscar nominees: supporting actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, and songwriters Ryan Bingham and T. Bone Burnett.

VALENTINE'S DAY: Loveland
No city takes Valentine's Day to heart quite like Loveland, Colo. For the past 64 years Loveland has made Valentine's Day postal cancellations a tradition, sponsoring a competition for a winning design for the Valentine's Day rhyme and the postmark that will grace all the cards that come through Loveland. An army of volunteers helps put the special Loveland Valentine's Day stamp on all the cards and letters that come through the post office. This year it's expected that the number could reach 220,000.
As it turns out, there are more than a dozen cities that also offer special Valentine's Day cancellations - everything from Bliss, N.Y., to Loving, N.M., to Romeo, Mich. and Juliette, Ga.
We met one couple who have been exchanging Valentine's Day cards like this ever since they fell in love, sixteen years ago. This year they sent Valentines cards to 16 different post offices to get the special cancellations. It's a way they seal their love with a stamp.

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY: And Now a Word From …
We all know that the Super Bowl's most memorable moments are not always on the field. Many of us tune in just to watch the commercials. In fact, TV ads - with their catch-phrases and clever storylines that seem to permeate pop culture - often assume significance far beyond the selling of a product. But in an age of multiplying media, fragmented audiences and short attention spans, is advertising as we know it about to change entirely?
Our story begins in the offices of Pepsi-Cola, where an executive there will explain the company's surprising decision, after 23 years of successful Super Bowl ads, not to run a TV spot in this year's big game. Instead, they've launched an Internet campaign. What if anything does Pepsi's strategy say about the larger landscape for advertisers? We'll also hear from people at the ad agencies McCann-Erickson and JWT. And finally, we'll try to find out for ourselves whether great TV commercials are indeed timeless, by showing a few classics to a group of college kids and gauging their response.

THE NATION: Charity Begins …
Americans give away hundreds of billions of dollars to charity every year, whether it's to victims of the Haiti earthquake or to poverty-stricken people at home or abroad. But how much should we be donating? Do we have a moral obligation to give? What motivates us to give? Who gives more - people with lower incomes or higher incomes?
Before you answer any of those questions, consider some of the people correspondent Mark Strassmann talks to:
• A family which decided to sell its $2 million house, giving half the proceeds to villagers in Ghana;
• The President of United Way Worldwide, who may surprise you with his analysis of who are the most generous donors;
• An ethicist who believes we should all sacrifice to make this a better world; and
• A supermarket cashier who, despite her low income, nevertheless feels we should all be giving away 10% of our income.

This Super Bowl week in South Florida, the LFL will take to the field at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino where they will play their conference championship, and a chance to compete in the Lingerie Bowl.

NEWSMAKER: Back From the Brink
The former Secretary of the Treasury was right in the firing line when the U.S. financial industry came very near melting down in 2008. A reluctant appointee, Henry Paulson faced huge problems and came up with some innovative solutions. Nearly two years later, he is still facing questions about what he did to save the economy.
Anthony Mason questions Paulson about ties to his former firm, Goldman Sachs, and on just how much Wall Street executives should be compensated. In a far-reaching interview in Paulson's home, and outside the Treasury Building, the former official reflects on the time he spent trying to make sure the consequences of the global financial meltdown did not become worse than they ultimately became.

ENDER: Our Town
In an over-caffeinated popular culture dominated by the big and loud, how did a drama about unremarkable people in an unremarkable place become one of America's most produced and most beloved plays? This is a question Mo Rocca asked himself when he attended the celebrated production of "Our Town" at New York City's Barrow Street Theatre.
Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, set in the fictional town of Grover's Corners in the early 1900s, is a reminder that the quietest, smallest moments in life are often the most precious . . . and which seems more relevant today than it was in 1938 when it was first produced.
