7:13 am
way, but sports seen through the sometimes critical lens of journalism. >> we have done a lot of good, thankfully, you know. >> reporter: like what? >> netting at baseball games. i want them to do the right thing and fix this game. people have gotten maimed, hurt, by foul balls. now you go to every baseball game, there is netting all over the place. >> heard the crack. i heard behind me and above a woman's voice say, watch out! next thing i know, bam! >> re >> the extent to which concussions are part of the debate about football is something we pressed a long time. >> remember the football days? >> oh, yeah. >> what's your best memory about football? >> that's all right. that's okay. >> three, two -- >> reporter: but the news came this fall.

7:20 am
>> oh, yes, i'm working on two or three right now. >> reporter: yes, at age 102, eddy goldfarb is still inventing, adding to his list of over 800 toys. >> i believe if you do creative work of any kind, if you start with nothing and end with something, it stimulates your brain and you think that's very good for your body. >> reporter: growing up in chicago in the 1920s, goldfarb believed he with would someday be an applied physicist. but lacking the money for college, he joined the navy and fought on the uss bat fish submarine in world war ii. when he wasn't dodging depth charges, he was in his bunk jotting down ideas for toys to envent. he figured they might be cheap to manufacture. >> toys was going to be just a beginning. i realized that if i invented a
7:21 am
successful game, it could sell a million units in one year easily. at one million families, they got together, and i realized that the toy industry is a noble industry. >> reporter: and you might say eddy first cut his teeth in the toy industry quite literally with an invention you're probably familiar with. >> this is what it does. >> reporter: yes, eddy goldfarb invented those wind-up chattering teeth which are technically called yakity yak. i mean, could you ever have imagined this would be something that defined your life? >> absolutely not. absolutely not. >> reporter: despite the millions of sets of teeth that have been sold over the years, eddy made just $900 when he sold the rights to them back in 1949. but he is not mad, he says he
7:22 am
got something valuable with the money. >> i needed an overcoat. it was really cold in chicago. >> reporter: he did, though, learn a lesson, which was to hang on to those royalty rights of his other inventions. including what he says was his biggest seller, the mini four-by-four replicas known as stompers. but it was when we sat down to play a game of kerplunk, which he also invented, that he eddy admitted something. >> i invented so many games, i never played them. >> reporter: i think people would be very surprised to hear that. would seem you must have been like a willy wonka, very child-like and playing the games all the time. you are saying that wasn't the case? >> no, i was too busy inventing them. >> growing up in a house where, you know, where inventions were happening, where toys were
7:23 am
being, you know, conceived, i mean, that was a really great atmosphere, you know, to grow up in. >> reporter: lynn goldfarb and her siblings got to be the first to play with their dad's inventions, but they were sworn to secrecy from talking about them with their friends. >> you never show anybody until it's out because otherwise, you know, could get stolen. who knew? >> reporter: lynn, a filmmaker, even made a documentary about her dad a few years ago. following his journey. >> this is the bubble gun in action. >> reporter: if you had to attribute his longevity and his continued mental acuity to anything, what do you think he is doing that's helping him with all of that? >> he is an eternal optimist. >> reporter: 3-d printing is one of eddy's latest obsessions, including creating lithophanes.
7:24 am
three-dimensional portraits that he makes on his 3-d printer. he makes them for the people he loves and sometimes for "sunday morning" correspondents. with a short interruption for a photo shoot, it was time to get back to playing kerplunk. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: i am a natural. >> okay. >> reporter: that was pretty good. >> okay. so now you go. oh, you gave me a lot of marbles. >> reporter: in fact, eddy goldfarb still has all of his marbles, you might say, and a remarkably positive outlook as he enters his second century of life. >> you have to be an optimist. but i also tell people you have to love rejection. >> reporter: every idea that you have you think is going to be the next big thing? >> oh, yeah. i think they are going to be big items, yeah. >> reporter: it was actually a small item from eddy that arrived at my house some weeks later.

7:27 am
captivity. as you may have heard, on friday the israeli military confirmed its troops mistakenly shot and killed three of the hostages in a gaza gun battle. but in israel hostages who have been released are breaking their silence. tonight on "60 minutes," correspondent lesley stahl will talk with some of them. but this morning we hear from a physician charged with examining the hostages on their return home. >> reporter: about 100 israeli hostages have been released after more than 50 days in captivity. at shiva medical center dr. itai pessach and his team interviewed and examined many of them. this is where the hostages are brought, whether they wanted to come here first or not? >> we knew they would need a buffer from that time in
7:28 am
captivity underground in the dark with very little food with a lot of psychological stress. we have to remember that these people have not been around since october 7th. >> reporter: on that infamous day, hamas struck mainly the string of kibbutzes on the border with gaza. some of the houses were set on fire to smoke out the inhabitants. >> they had no home to go to and they didn't know that. you basically had to tell them? >> one of the largest challenges that we had is how do we break the bad news. they look around the room and they see someone's missing. >> reporter: oh, boy, yeah. >> that was something we had to prepare for. >> reporter: except for a brief ceasefire, there has been an almost constant israeli bombardment of gaza, much of which has been pummeled into wreckage with half the population facing severe hunger.
7:29 am
you think all israelis have ptsd. what about gazans? >> i'm sure they are the same. and when they undergo events such as this, this will take its toll. it doesn't matter if they are on this side or the other side. >> reporter: if you look at the pictures on television as the hostages were coming back day after day, some don't look physically abused. was that deceptive? >> i think it was very deceptive. so there is not a singular person that came back that didn't have a significant physical injury or a medical problem. on top of that, some of them were getting medication. >> reporter: uppers? >> to look better than they actually were. >> reporter: i just heard a story about a young person who was branded. branded like the holocaust. did you see? >> yes.
7:30 am
>> reporter: you saw signs of branding? >> we saw signs of branding, signs of being handcuffed. >> reporter: the stories of sexual abuse are just emerging. and there are indications that this was central to the message that the terrorists wanted to send. >> we did hear and see evidence of sexual abuse and a significant part of the people we have treated, we also have evidence and that was one of the hardest parts of abuse against those that have stayed both physical and sexual. >> reporter: the ones still there? >> yes. >> reporter: did you hear of a psychological torture in that they were told you israel doesn't exist anymore? >> what i was really struck with is how prepared the hamas
7:31 am
terrorists were with the psychological torment. it was structured and preplanned. they are constantly saying nobody cares about you. you are here alone. you hear the bombs falling? they don't care about you. we're here to protect you. and this played with their minds. there have been some episodes when they separated two family members, separated them and brought them back together and then separated and brought them back together. so as a parent, you will do anything, you know, in order to have your child with you, even when you are in captivity. >> reporter: was there a protocol that you followed? was there a formula how you talk to a hostage? >> there was no protocol. we had to make that up as we went. now, unfortunately, we have world experts in receiving people that were hostages.

this year marks half a century since the death of the great pablo picasso, and while few doubt the genius of his art, more and more question the quality of his character. anthony mason has this portrait of the artist. >> reporter: at the gagosian gallery in new york, an exhibition of pablo picasso's works opened last month. it's one of nearly 50 shows this year in museums and galleries around the world, marking the 50th anniversary of the artist's death. from sculptures in spain to landscapes in mississippi, even
7:35 am
one exhibit at new york's museum of modern art exploring works from just one summer. this work in particular stands out for the subject -- and at sotheby's last month, woman with a watch became the most expensive painting to be auctioned this year. but in the "metoo" era, the master's reputation has also been the target of reappraisal. as the brooklyn museum put it, it's pablo-matic. is it right that he is being re-evaluated? >> why shouldn't he be re-evaluated? we are living in a time when we no longer want to do it will rate abusive depicted women. i don't feel cruelty in the
7:36 am
paintings. i don't feel sadism. if we are going to look at his life, that's where the problems come in. he was a raging chauvinist. >> reporter: picasso abandoned his first wife, a ballet dancer, the lover he left her for later died by suicide. another lover needed shock therapy after picasso walked out on her. >> there is a famous photograph of him fralg ftrailing francois holding a irpa sell above his head. you would think he is a helpful lover. i don't think it captures what he put women through. >> reporter: gilot the only one of picasso's many muses to leave him. >> she thought that in that relationship they should be equal. >> reporter: he didn't like that? >> when she left, he didn't.
7:37 am
>> reporter: alone with picasso, the art lit exist lasting child, was 4 years old when they split. for the next decade she and her brother would spend about four months a year with their father. >> i always thought it was fascinating that every time we arrived from paris with claude the house would look different because he would have been through a phase of doing ceramics. so the house was fiwith ser am mix. >> reporter: you were aware you were growing up in a magical world? >> completely. >> reporter: in 1964, months before her mother's book, life with picasso, was published, paloma says her stepmother abruptly cut her off from her father. >> i think that jacqueline fell threatened by us. >> reporter: how did you feel about that at the time? >> very bad, of course. it's very difficult to take. >> reporter: a few times a year paloma says she went unannounced to her father's gated house in the south of france.
7:38 am
what happened when you rang the doorbell? he is not there? >> yeah. >> reporter: you kept going back? >> just because i would hear that i didn't want to see my father, so i had to do this so that i would keep my sanity. >> reporter: you think he was there? >> oh, sure. >> reporter: yeah? he could have made an effort to see you, couldn't he? >> actually, i did run into him once in the street and everything was great except that jacquelyn pulled him, saying we have to go. >> reporter: you seem to give him a break a lot. >> yes, i guess. >> reporter: you tend to blame it on people around him or your stepmother. >> that is the little girl in me, i suppose. >> reporter: this year paloma, a renowned jewelry designer, took over the administration that runs the artist's estate. post-"metoo" there has been attempt to reappraise your father. how do you feel about that? >> before they made him into a god, which is, of course, an
7:39 am
exaggeration, so now has become this terrible monster. >> reporter: which you belief is an exaggeration, too. >> huge. of course, he had some faults, but we was not nice to his men friends either. so nobody cares about that. >> reporter: given the discussion about who picasso was as a man, has your view of him changed in any way given -- >> no, he is still [ bleep ]. >> reporter: artist nick lean thomas. has that respected your respect for him as an artist? >> it's complicated. that's okay. family members are the same way. he was innovative, experimental, and he did it half the time in his underwear. [ laughter ] >> reporter: thomas' own series of work took inspiration from picasso's female portraits. you don't think picasso should be canceled?
7:40 am
>> i wouldn't want my work to be canceled. i think it's very complex because right now we can separate the art from the artist. because he is not here. but would we hold him accountable if he was? >> art is larger than in moment. this moment is causing a lot of dissent. much of it justified. >> reporter: art critic deborah solomon says we should look to cubism, which picasso created, to understand the artist. >> what made him a modern artist is that he took on the single point perspective that had prevailed in art for 500 years and he believed that we never see things just one way. >> reporter: you're saying we should see him the way same way? >> exactly. when we look at picasso, he deserves to be seen from multiple perspective. it's okay to have conflicting feelings about him. you can say i love his work, but, yes, he was a bad boyfriend and i'm glad i never met him.

8:11 am
this is one of my favorite trees because so pretty. norway spruce. it grows thick and beautiful and it retains its needles nicely. this is frazier fir right here. it has a blueish tint. so this balsam fir, one of the most popular christmas trees because it has a fragrance and it grows narrow and tall. lots of space for ornaments. a lot of people like big, fat trees. you can't fit any ornaments on those big fat trees. another thing that's really nice about having a grove like this is that it's really nice to cut some of the branches for decorations in your house or wreaths. look how fluffy and nice. so once you bring your christmas tree home, what do you do with the leftover branches? you can make a beautiful wreath or bough. i want it to be about 36 inches.

i am using a yardstick. lay out your shape first. so then zip-ties come this all different colors. you pull this. that will not fall apart. so this is what it looks like when it's all tied together. and you can make your own icicles. you can buy them, too, these nice glass icicles. these aluminum foil icicles you can just make. score it a couple times. you cut along the cutting edge. use a paper punch. this wire is 26 gauge. you run it right through the hole and take a woodall dowel or a pencil and just twist this foil around the dowel. i love doing this. last year i made about 500 of these. and then just remove the dowel. there, you have a very wonderful icicle.
8:13 am
so all of these get attached to our bough. instead of calling this a wreath, i'm calling it a bough. it's more linear than circular. so you tie these. you don't want these sliding off and breaking. i remember my tree in my kitchen when a neighbor came by and just wished me merry christmas, and he leaned against my christmas tree and the entire tree fell because i hadn't wired it to something. so once you get all the ornaments on, then the bow. if you want the ends to be pretty, fold it in half and then just cut on an angle to center, and you get a bird's beak or a viper's tongue. and you have a really beautiful bough. once you hang it on the wall, you are going to say, my gosh, i

our commentary is from "new york times" columnist charles blow whose new hbo documentary is now streaming on max. >> at the end of the civil war three southern states were majority black and others were very close to being so. and during reconstruction the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution made black people citizens and gave black men the right to vote. this led to years of tremendous progress for black people, in part because of the political power they could access and wield on the state level. but when reconstruction was allowed to fail and jim crow was

allowed to rise, that power was stymied. so began more decades of brutal oppression. in the early 1910s people fled the south for more economic opportunity and the possibility of more social and political inclusion in cities to the north and west. this became known as the great migration. and lasted until 1970. but nearly as soon as the great migration ended, a reverse migration of black people to the south began and that reverse migration while nowhere near as robust as the original is still happening today. in 2001 i published a book encouraging more black people to join this reversion migration and reclaim the state power that black people had curing reconstruction. i joined that reverse migration myself moving from brooklyn to atlanta. last year i set out to make a documentary which tested the idea of traveling the country
