MUSIC: Peter Frampton
In the early 1970's, he was just another British rocker trying to make a name for himself. His band, Humble Pie, had met with only modest success, and his two solo albums even less so. Then in 1976, Peter Frampton hit the jackpot. Seemingly out of blue, his live album, "Frampton Comes Alive!" was a phenomenon, shooting to #1 on the Billboard charts and selling more than 18 million copies worldwide.

Frampton was an overnight sensation. His iconic photo on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, shirtless, his blond curls cascading down, made him a heart throb to millions of teenage girls, an image he good-naturedly regrets to this day.

Not surprisingly, "Frampton Comes Alive" was a hard act to follow. Subsequent albums sold well, but were considered failures by comparison - and just as quickly as Peter Frampton's career took off, it came crashing back down.

By 1980, his career was already on the downswing when tragedy struck: A cargo plane crashed, killing several crew members and destroying all of Frampton's gear, including his beloved 1954 black Gibson Les Paul guitar, the one he had played on all his albums including "Frampton Comes Alive," and which was a big part of his signature sound.

Thirty sixty years later, Frampton is back on tour, and correspondent Anthony Mason hits the road with him to discuss the arc of his career, as well as a stunning turn of events: Three decades after it was believed destroyed, Frampton's "lost guitar" was mysteriously returned to him. Mason tells the story of this musical mystery, and for the first time in 30 years Peter Frampton plays the songs that made him famous, with the long-lost guitar that inspired them.

WEB EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Peter Frampton shows off his prized Gibson Les Paul guitar, lost in a cargo plane crash in 1980.

MOVIES: Props to Hollywood's prop masters
One reason that this year's breakout movie, "The Artist," has captured so much attention is because of how magically it seems to transport us into the past. It's the sort of Hollywood trick that filmmakers dream of mastering before working on period pictures. In the process, many of them end up turning to the same place: An enormous Los Angeles warehouse that contains several hundred thousand historical props. The store is called History for Hire, and we'll take our viewers on a tour.

Also, we'll explore the subject of period authenticity with the Oscar-nominated production designer of "The Artist," Laurence Bennett, and the director of the Ray Charles bio-pic, "Ray," Taylor Hackford.

SUNDAY PROFILE: Glen Campbell's final tour
The "Rhinestone Cowboy" has certainly had a glittering career. Glen Campbell rose from poverty in Arkansas to take over the airwaves in the 1960s and '70s with hits like "Gentle on My Mind" and "Wichita Lineman." Along the way he became one of the hottest studio musicians in Los Angeles, and had his own top-rated TV show. He's about to be awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

He had his share of rough times as well - drugs and drinking took a heavy toll for more than a decade. And now he faces a new challenge: Campbell has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

He and his family decided to go public with his illness, and in an unprecedented move he's out on the road; his "Goodbye Tour" is giving his adoring fans a chance to see him one more time.

Campbell is a little fuzzy these days about current events, but he shares plenty of stories with correspondent Anthony Mason about the old days. And Anthony talks with Campbell's wife, Kim, and his daughter, Ashley, about how they're helping Campbell stay in the spotlight for a little longer.

COVER STORY: Seeking an end to hazing deaths
The death of a Florida A&M University drum major last November after being beaten in an alleged hazing ritual brought the ugliness of this ongoing tradition into the spotlight. But the truth is, hazing has been a deadly practice on American campuses since the first recorded death of a Cornell student in 1873.

And rather than becoming more rare, hazing deaths are becoming chillingly predictable: There's been at least one hazing death every year for the past 30 years. According to hazing expert Hank Nuwer, there's one constant in 82 percent of deadly hazing incidents: Alcohol.

Correspondent Tracy Smith looks into the culture and history of hazing, and - by focusing on one young man's tragic story - examines how to break the cycle of hazing deaths.

COVER STORY: The dark side of shiny Apple products
In just the last three months of 2011, Apple sold 37 million iPhones, and earned $48 billion - in 3 months. With the iPhone, iPad and its many computers, Apple has overtaken ExxonMobil as the largest U.S. company.

For many people, Apple has become a symbol of the kind of creative, forward-thinking, and enlightened companies that keeps the United States at the vanguard of the 21st Century. But as Apple products have become omnipresent in our lives, questions are beginning to be raised about conditions at the factories in China where these products are manufactured, and whether the company is ignoring reports of abusive working conditions.

Mike Daisey, a former self-described "Apple worshipper," traveled to Shenzhen, China, to visit the factories of Foxconn, the company Apple has hired to manufacture its products. Stunned at the stories he heard from workers outside the plant - reports of suicides, excessive hours, and underage workers - Daisey turned his experience into a one-man show, "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs," which is raising questions about Apple's commitment to human rights at the factories making its products.

Correspondent Martha Teichner hears from labor watchdog groups in Hong Kong, as well as from a company hired by Apple to oversee compliance of its rules, in this look at an iconic American company whose products are "made in China."

This time out, she discovers what's changed in his life, and why the "Maestro of Movie Violence" made his first family film.

You'll never guess the answer - turns out it has something to do with an old magician named Georges Melies, a young girl named Francesca, and a book called "The Invention of Hugo Cabret."

COVER STORY: What charisma is, and how to get it
The race for the White House is officially in full swing. Ads are on TV, politicians are on the trail, and money is on the line. But what are voters really looking for? The answer may be less about substance and policy than we'd care to admit. In a new Sunday Morning poll, three out of four registered voters say that a candidate's charisma plays a role in their decision - and one in four call it a major factor.

So just what IS charisma? The word itself is Greek for "gift" but is almost indefinable: You'll know it when you see it; you either have it or you don't. But now a new school of thought is emerging that charisma can be defined by a concrete formula. Some even say it can be taught to those less "gifted."

We'll see for ourselves if charisma is teachable, and we'll test out a new technological device developed at M.I.T. that - according to its creators - uses science to measure people's personal magnetism.

Thank you Ben for your piece on American Airlines. Every time I fly I notice what airline people do and the stuff they deal with.

The Not So Shiny Side of Apple....? The Oh So Misleading Sunday Morning:
The story IS a bummer, and it is disturbing, but I have to take exception with the COMPLETELY MISLEADING 'suicide' angle presented in the Sunday Morning spot.

The report cited a 'staggering' 18 suicides last year at the FoxConn factory. Horrible by any standard, BUT:

She also reported that the factory employees 400,000 people.
According to our own National Institutes of Health, the average rate of suicide in the US is 11.3 suicides per 100,000. So, at 400,000 we would expect approximately 45.2 suicides for that 400,000 population on average.

So the truth of the matter is that the suicide rate in the US on average, is approximate TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY percent higher than the FoxConn workers....... Can someone at CBS or Sunday Morning please comment on this??? I LOVE your show, but I HATE media bias and spin. It make you unreliable and untrustworthy.

The next time you tug on my heart strings and show me a story THAT MAY WELL BE WORTH OF MY TAKING ACTION TO HELP IMPROVE SOMEONE'S LIFE, or TO RIGHT A WRONG.... how do I know you speak the truth...?

fyi- link the the NIH Suicide Stats:

Nancy Giles segment on Political Hipocrisy is one that makes me one to stop watching Sunday Morning after being a loyal viewer since 1979. I always enjoyed the show because it covered stories you normally didn't see in the news or took interesting stories and elaborated on them. It has now become a forum for celebrities and politics. I stopped watching NBC's today show 4 years ago when it became painfully obvious who Matt Lauer was supporting for the presidency. I do not want to see personal political or religious views forced on the American public in an effort to sway votes. These are opinions (and yes, I know that the segment is Nancy Giles Commentary) but it was extremely biased. It has no place on the Sunday Morning show. In case those liberals reading this think I am a staunch Republican and am offended by her comments: I have been a democrat my entire voting life and I vote in every election. I am just tired of the media cramming stuff down my throat that is NOT NEWS. Please, Sunday Morning. Get back to being that gentle reporting format that made me race to hear the opening song and eagerly await hearing what was to be covered today. Don't make me turn off CBS at 9:00 am on Sunday Morning.

I'm looking for a clip that was on today about politics. The segment was a look at politicians being hypocritical and it started with a look at the first question asked of Newt in the last debate. If anyone has a link to that please forward it to me! Thanks :-)

About last Sunday's almanac piece on who invented basketball: it would have been more accurate to mention that Naismith was Canadian, born in 1861 in Ramsay Township, Ontario.

Today's Almanac piece on AT&T was one of the most idiotic and uninformed stories I have ever seen! Sure the original was ordered broken up 30 years ago, but the story implies that this is actually the way things are today as well. Over the last 20 years or so most of the pieces have glued themselves back together.

The story aired ends with "though there still is a company called at&t today, it's just one of many telephone service providers. No more monopoly. No more Ma Bell." What year was this story written??? Did at&t pay CBS for this piece???
