last weekend these robots competed in a competition run by darpa, the military advanced technology division. you may have heard of some of the previous projects gps the thing called the internet. darpa offered $3.5 million in prizes for robots that can navigate a disaster-rescue sca scenario. the robots have to perform tasks like driving turning off a valve. drilling out a wall. crossing a pile of rubble and climbing stairs. the crowd went wild. it is an ex heardary thing. when the robot does well, and it scores a point. everyone cheers. then of course when the robot

what i had was basically time. i had these years of living. what i regret most in my life are failures of kindness. those moments when another human being was right there in front of me suffering and i responded sensibly. reservedly. mildly. >> the message saunders finally came up with was disarmingly simple. >> it's a little facile hard to implement i'd say as goal in life you can do worse than, try to be kinder. >> becoming kinder and more loving. >> yeah. i had early draft i had a line unless it's not and you're going to be a bitter old part. i thought that day, i would leave it out. >> the speech turned into a best seller for saunders. >> i work on story i'll have just have some events --

>> but it's in fiction that he's made his mark. george saunders knows what makes for a good story. >> there's a person here and person there this one is thinking, i'm having a great day. i'm so happy. this one is thinking i never got what i deserved. you put even the slightest contact between them that's going to cause sparks. >> in winter saunders brought us to a snowy field in syracuse, new york. this place was the setting for the title tori of his collection "tenth of december" in that story a little boy crosses paths with a man who has decided to kill himself. car is parked here. an old man dying comes out here. >> right. he has this vision that he'll go up there somewhere and sit and ease his way out. the little boy is just out goofing around, this vivid fantasy life. >> when he falls into an icy pond he switches to thoughts of suicide to desperate attempt to save his life. >> he had to get the kid warmed

he figured if he mined his travel from material well that would surely make him the next hemingway. >> it's the reason i'm no good as writer because i haven't done anything yet. so then that was great education to go there have lot of experiences. and going that's not actually a story. it's just some typing. >> came back to the u.s. now married and with two young daughters to support he had to make a living. he got a job as a writer of technical reports. >> an office park? >> not in tibet or the jungles of africa it was in rochester. it was corporate woods it was called. >> he tried his best to write fiction during breaks. around this time you end up writing the great american novel. >> yeah. >> well, not exactly. >> had 700 page manuscript that

was titled -- which i think means -- gave it to my wife i was so happy. i can't believe i accomplished this. she took it to read. i peeked around the corner she must have been on page three she just with her head in her hands gossoon intelligible. >> he'd been doing another kind ever writing back at the office park when was bored. one night his wife stumbled on that work. >> i was just writing these little poems like dr. seuss limb ricks. i went out to do something i heard paula laughing, genuinely laughing. i hadn't had anyone read something i'd written with genuine pleasure in about six years. i thought dummy that's what it is. >> he found his voice. >> just like a little light wept on that this is the life that we're living right now. most americans my age were living. if you want find something to say about it or capped fine a wade to bring that keep human

stuff to it that's not the world's fault. it's your fault. >> finally at the age of 37, saunders published his first collection of short stories. he's won increasing acclaim with each book and essay. the guy who barely got into college now teaches writing to university students. hundreds of syracuse graduate students compete to get into his small class. is it pretty invigorating to be on the campus around all these young people? >> it is. it's nerve-racking. you with this level of students you can never phone it in. >> but for all his success george saunders still finds allotted to fret over, like every time he looks at his latest story. >> i look at ten-page thing that i've written i always have a feeling, i don't know. who wants to read ten pages of you?

can you get it in seven they might be able to tolerate. >> osgood: coming up. >> one of his most famous battles. >> osgood: waterloo, 200 years and counting. y to hit some balls? sure. ooh! hey buddy, what's up? this is what it can be like to have shingles. aw man. a painful, blistering rash. i keep thinking how did he get this, he's in such good shape. if you had chickenpox, the shingles virus is already inside you. 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime. your immune system weakens as you get older and it loses its ability to keep the shingles virus in check. after almost 3 weeks, i just really wanted to give it a shot. the shingles rash can last up to 30

days. you know i'm not feeling it today. don't worry about it buddy. we'll do it another day. don't wait until you or someone you care about develops shingles. talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your risk. >> osgood: here is a look at the week ahead on our sunday morning calendar. monday is global wind day.

>> osgood: this thursday marks the 200th napoleon defeat of the battle of waterloo. it was costly victory. as we are reminded by the author. >> 200 years ago the 33-year-old irishman wrote a letter to his wife. it was a letter that many soldiers have written hope will never be delivered but only posted if the writer died in battle. major heyland wrote, my mary, let the recollection console you that the happiest days of my life have been from your love and affection and that i die loving only you. what dear children, my mary, i leave you. my marion i can't gentlest girl, my anne, my john, let my children console you my love, my mary. arthur heyland died the next day and i very much doubt that his

death was tranquil. he was one of the thousands who fell on sunday, june 18th, 1815, at the blood bath in belgium we know as the battle of waterloo. it is one of history's most famous battles astonishingly there are towns all across the united states from alabama to kansas from louisiana to new hampshire all named waterloo even though america had no part in that day's fighting. yet perhaps the folk who named those towns recognized that history had changed on that fatal sunday. for 50 years there had been worldwide struggle between france and britain for leadership of the world. american revolution was part of that. george washington learned his military skills, and defeated britain and france was america's ally. yet their victory in the 13 colonies did not end the wider war which saw both moscow and washington burned. then at waterloo it was suddenly

over. napoleon was defeated there was a new world order. so yes waterloo is worth remembering but perhaps 200 years later what we should remember is that the young men and women we send to war leave behind them husbands, wives sons daughters, lovers and friends. waterloo changed the world but it utterly changed the world of mary marion that, anne and john heyland, waterloo is history but our veterans and their families are still with us. we must not forget them. >> osgood: commentary from bernard cornwell. john dickerson in washington for look what's ahead on "face the nation." good morning. >> dickerson: hillary clinton campaign wants to hear no analogies about waterloo. but bernie sanders hopes to be one to take on hillary clinton. lindsey graham on the republican side.
