Eminem & Anderson Cooper: Behind the Scenes
What's the fastest way to draw a crowd in Detroit? Have CNN's Anderson Cooper and rap star Eminem walk down a city sidewalk with "60 Minutes" cameras trailing.
In this week's episode of "60 Minutes Overtime," you'll tag along as Eminem gives Cooper a tour of his old haunts in Detroit, including the neighborhood where the musician grew up near 8 Mile. The unlikely pair also makes a stop at the local Burger King that played a big role in young Marshall Mather's life - both as a refuge and a kind of fast-food writing lab.

One of the great things we get to do at "Overtime" is look back at all the stories "60 Minutes" has told over the past 40 years and show you a favorite now and then. In this episode, you'll go back to our 1999 report on the cartoonist known as "Sparky."
His characters need no introduction: we all know Snoopy, Linus, Lucy or the other kids in the Peanuts comic strip. But the one person you probably haven't met is the most important Peanuts personality of all: Charles Schulz, the creator of this pen and ink world.

- "There's nothing 'fine' about Marshall Mathers, nothing artistic either...Why do you exalt or condone misogyny, gay bashing, drugs and general racism? Mathers is the height of 'lowtivity.'"

- "I am a 72-year-old grandma...Can't say I am a rapper and don't like bad language...but I looked beyond all this and knew you were destined for good things. Thanks for the interview and I am so proud of you for being a good father."

- "Yo Em - How so true your story is my brutha - ain't nothing like hearing your testimony. I myself am coming off an addiction with Vics and Valiums and seeing you make a comeback is more motivation to my life."
Robot Traders of the NYSE
In Steve Kroft's "60 Minutes" report on high-frequency trading, you heard how most stock trades in the U.S. are no longer made by humans, but by computers capable of buying and selling stocks at warp speed.
High-frequency trading played a supporting role in the mini market crash last spring that saw the Dow Jones industrial average plunge 600 points in 15 minutes, and yet most people know very little about this type of high-speed automated trading.

What's it like to hang out with Bill and Melinda Gates? "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley knows. He spent time with the Gates at their foundation in Washington state and traveled to India with Melinda, where some of the Gates' fortune is providing medicine and vaccines that might literally save millions of lives.

Talk about a rollercoaster career. Back in 2005, Michael Vick was the highest paid player in the NFL. At the time, he told an enthusiastic press corps, "The only thing that matters is winning football games." Then, an amazing fall from grace: he was arrested for running a brutal dog-fighting ring. Following an 18-month prison stint, Vick made it back to pro football, and this season, he is suddenly the hottest quarterback in the league -- and the most talked-about story in the NFL.

We all saw news coverage about the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. Now watch it in an entirely different light, through the lens of "60 Minutes" cameraman Chris Albert. Shooting with his Canon 5D, Albert hopped a ride with helicopters protecting the last combat brigade to leave Iraq. The men and women of the 4th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division made their three-day road trip to Kuwait, which the soldiers call "K-crossing," at a cruising speed of 45 mph and traveling mostly at night for safety.

The NFL doesn't have a more admired poster boy than New Orleans Saints' quarterback Drew Brees. So, "60 Minutes"' Steve Kroft went looking for dirt -- to see whether Drew lived up to the hype.
It was only when Kroft sat down with Drew's teammates Jonathan Vilma and Jeremy Shockey that we first got wind of "Breezy's" reputation as a bit of a "sore loser." Here's an excerpt from that interview: Continue Reading »
