course, "the andy griffith show" in the town of mayberry left prime time tv in 1958. would you believe decades later loyal fans continue to flock to the north carolina town that claims mayberry's legacy. a town where, as ted koppel will tell us, there's a fine line between fiction and reality. those guns aren't real, of course, and this is just a replica of a hollywood set for a television series that went off the air more than 50 years ago. so what is it that keeps tourists flocking to mount airy, north carolina, by the hundreds of thousands every year? i'll give you a hint. ♪ >> reporter: ahead on "sunday morning." jane fonda and lily tomlin

sometimes feel, well, left out. so some of your best friends are left- left-handed. of course we lefties do have greatness in our ranks. artists, actors, musicians, techies, and 8 of 45 presidents including president bill clinton. >> we seem to be overrepresented in certain fields. maybe politics, safe cracking, i don't know. >> reporter: has it ever impeded you. >> no, i don't think it's ever impeded me. when i started studying the way the brain functions, it made me wonder if it was a sign of being a little more creative and nonrational in the way you think. and i have no conclusions on it. >> reporter: even about yourself. >> no, i don't. >> reporter: there has been this myth that lefties are more creative.

>> oh, let's kill it together here and now. >> reporter: but there is some research that shows that left-handed people organize thoughts in a different way and tasks in a different way. >> absolutely. and that is really mysterious. >> reporter: author and journalist david wolman was so intrigued by the mysteries and myths surrounding left-handers like him that he spent a year traveling the world to write a book about the hand often associated with the devil. the very word left comes from the old english lyft meaning weak or worthless. >> the latin word for left is sinister. >> reporter: that's really -- ghost in french means kind of crude and undesirable. >> you should certainly not be eating with the left hand in countries where you don't have utensils. >> reporter: why is that? >> well, it's not the cleanest

dinner table talk, but the answer to that is that in poorer parts of the world people are trying to keep separate which hand they eat with and which hand they clean themselves with. >> reporter: you mean after using the bathroom, so to speak. >> exactly. >> reporter: and older americans may still remember when writing with the left hand was a no-no. >> there were schoolteachers who were trying to whack this behavior out of them and in other parts of the world punishments were very severe for following what is just a natural tendency. >> reporter: lefties know all the jibes, the left-handed compliment and, more recently, swipe left or reject. and there's always having two left feet. still, many lefties are great athletes from quarterbacks to tennis players. >> in baseball i think it definitely is a good thr:n left. he's one in a long line of famous southpaw pitchers.

bat with? >> i swing a bat lefty but a golf club righty. that's pretty weird. >> reporter: so much is weird about being left-handed. scientists know it's at least partially genetic. but they've never been able to figure out exactly how it's passed on. a recent study by scientists at the university of oxford using genetic data from some 400,000 united kingdom residents has revealed important new information. dr. akira weiberg. >> we compare the difference in dna sequence between a large group of left-handers and a large group of right-handers. and what that showed there were four regions in the genome where the two groups were significantly different on average. >> reporter: professor gwen douad says the study found very preliminary connections between handedness and development of certain diseases. >> the proportion is ever so slightly higher for

schizophrenia in left-handed people, and that's exactly the opposite in parkinson's disease. if you are left-handed you have a slightly lesser risk of developing parkinson's disease. again, we are talking about a very, very small effect. >> reporter: still, professor dominic furniss says the discovery could yield important information on devising new treatments. >> what are the important structures within the brain that are not working properly in these diseases? why are they not working properly at a very fundamental level? >> reporter: the study also found differences between left and right-handers in the brain's white matter, the material through which messages pass to the central nervous system. >> so that's really connecting the different parts of your brain that are enabling language. >> reporter: the study does say that your findings raise the possibility that left-handed

people have an advantage when it comes to performing verbal tasks. >> this is really a theory that we have that requires scientific testing, i would say. >> sometimes, like, i feel a little bit different than everyone else. >> reporter: psychologist charlotte reznick, a lefty herself, welcomes the idea of more scientific research. >> educate others who are right-handed because it's really a little tough to be left-handed in a right-handed world sometimes. >> reporter: the young lefty she introduced us to seemed to take it all in stride. >> i don't pay attention to that. >> reporter: even the ink stains. >> that's the only bad thing i've noticed about being lefty, you always get it on your hand. it's very annoying. >> reporter: still -- >> it's something that you should be proud of even though you're different. >> reporter: what would you say to parents who think, oh, gosh,

as you've probably heard renowned author salman rushdie was stabbed multiple times at a speaking engagement in western new york state on friday. it's a sad chapter in the life of the outspoken writer, author of the controversial novel "the satanic verses." we have more from our lee cowan. >> reporter: it all played out in front of a horrified audience, famed author salman rushdie was at the chautauqua institution in western new york where police say a man in the audience suddenly rushed the stage and attacked him. also injured was the event's moderator, henry reese. >> there was an attack on freedom of expression, and someone who was probably just i one to back away from a fight. united states was a safe haven for exiled writers.

but before he could get a word out, the 75-year-old was being airlifted to a nearby hospital in pennsylvania where he underwent surgery for multiple stab wounds. although the wounds are considered serious, he's said to be off the ventilator and able to speak. >> british author salman rushdie went into hiding today from the storm over his novel "the satanic verses." >> reporter: rushdie's life in hiding began in 1989 when outrage over his novel reached a fevered pitch all around the world. the 547-page volume fictionalized the live of muhammad making controversial references to the prophet himself, islam, and the karan. it was almost instantly banned in countries including bangladesh, sudan, sri lanka, even india where rushdie was born. the then supreme leader of iran, the ayatollah khamenei, went so far as m to kil

ordinary business of being a writer. >> reporter: while he understood the power of his plight and fought for author's rights, he seemed to hope that his legacy would be more than just that one novel, one he never even considered to be his best. >> to be famous for the wrong thing is a terrible thing. i've spent a dozen years of my life trying to climb out from that. >> reporter: the suspect in friday's attack, 25-year-old hadi matar from fairview, new jersey, pleaded not guilty to attempted second-degree murder chargence friday condemneheta b a few extremist groups praised it seeing it as vindication that the fatwa had finally been carried out and warned attacks on those who oppose the islamic republic would continue. for his fans and friends, the fact that rushdie was attacked in such a quiet place dedicated to the art of writing and free thought is certainly reason for

pause. >> if you're a writer, you should continue to write and you should write bravely and truthfully. >> reporter: which is exactly what he did. >> yes. art lives on but writers do not. and it's our job to defend them. >> reporter: as salman rushdie himself once queried, just what is freedom of expression? without the freedom to offend, he said, it ceases to exist. open. it's a beautiful word. neighborhoods "open". businesses "open". fields "open". who doesn't love "open"? offices. homes. stages. possibilities. your world. open. and you can help keep it that way. ♪♪

most of the other stars, andy griffith, don knotts who played his deputy barney fife, and the actors who played aunt bee and floyd the barber, they've all passed on. after all, it's been 54 years since andy left the show, so it may come as something of a surprise to learn that mayberry is doing just fine. even though it's actual name is mount airy and its only genuine link to "the andy griffith show" is that andy was born and grew up here. >> andy griff i, god bless him, if he hadn't been born in this town, we wouldn't be standing here having this conversation. enjoy your tour today. >> reporter: randy collins is president and ceo of the mount airy chamber of commerce, and he's recalling when north carolina's tobacco and textile industries had the stuffing knocked out of them.

bigger cities, even locals like jim bolin trying to think of how to revive the town. >> we're trying to think of ways to get people to come and shop. >> reporter: it all started with this, the world's largest wind chime. erected in 2011 to drive tourists to jim's wife's cafe. >> the wind chime when i first built it, that's my fishing lure. we cast it out to the interstate and tried to reel people in to our small town to see what we've got. >> reporter: and are you catching fish? >> yes, we're catching fish. >> reporter: bolin's experiment was such a success he went on a giant building spree. his family owns a pipeline business, so he had easy access to the raw materials. did you start to feel like a man on a mission? >> yeah, yeah. because at this point i'm

thinking, okay, what can we do for our town? i'm looking at different businesses and trying to find something that would correlate with their business. >> reporter: free of charge he gave the local barbershop the world's largest barbershop pole. the candy store up the street got a whimsical pair of the world's largest wooden shoes. do people come in just to see the shoes? >> yes. they come in to see the shoes and then they find out it's in a candy store, so it helps me as well. >> reporter: bolin meticulously researches his creations and works with the guinness world record organization to get them certified. along the way he's built plenty of large items around town that aren't necessarily record holders. >> this isn't even the world's largest, this is just big. a big pencil. >> reporter: the collection of giant objects has put casey, halfway between st. louis and indianapolis, on the map. what's been your favorite so far? >> the rocking chair. >> reporter: from the rocking chair you can see the license

plates of all the cars that stop by. >> the folks are out of pennsylvania. >> reporter: do you get people from all over? >> all over. california, texas. >> reporter: and all these cars have given lifelong resident jimmie wilson a sight he thought he'd never see. the idea after traffic jam in casey, illinois, is that a new concept? >> oh, my gosh, yes, it is. and we have road rage now because we have all these people coming to town, and they're going so slow and gawking around that people get upset. >> reporter: that's the kind of problem this town wants to have. >> i'm telling you, i can't believe it. it's the greatest thing that's ever happened here. >> reporter: when the flag goes up on the giant mailbox, it means someone's dropped in another letter, a tourist most likely, hoping to commemorate their trip. just to know people are excited of having a post mark from

casey, illinois, on their mail, what does that feel like? >> it's pretty cool to see kids and people get excited about something they're doing in casey is thrilling, a special feeling. >> reporter: big dreams and a bigger heart. all in a small town.

oh, boy. there's barely been a day this past week when former president trump hasn't been in the headlines. yesterday came word that in june a trump lawyer signed a statement indicating all papers marked classified stored at mar-a-lago had been returned to the government. but federal agents found still more material labelled classified in their raid last monday. reason enough for this "sunday journal" from major garrett. >> reporter: the skies above former president trump's home at mar-a-lago were clear, but a week of legal storm clouds stretched from south florida to washington to new york propelling america into heavy legal and political weather. for eight hours monday few knew the fbi armed with a search warrant, was inside trump's residence retrieving more than

20 boxes of documents, some containing classified information taking them from his bedroom, office and storage room. according to "the washington post," some of those records dealt with nuclear weapons. a search warrant unsealed friday afternoon revealed trump was under possible investigation for violations of the espionage act, obstruction and theft of government documents. >> how do you feel, mr. trump? how do you feel? >> reporter: trump announced his home was under siege, instantaneously supporters rushed to the narrow causeway that runs from west palm beach to mar-a-lago. >> i definitely think it was unfair and suspicious. >> i think he will win in a landslide in 2024. >> reporter: in part because of this? >> absolutely. >> reporter: republicans in congress also defended trump, some more aggressively than others. on thursday attorney general merrick garland defended the fbi operation. >> i personally approved the decision to seek a search

warrant in this matter. second, the department does not take such a decision lightly. >> reporter: on social media some trump loyalists denounced the fbi led by trump-appointed director christopher wray. in cincinnati a trump supporter attempted to infiltrate an fbi field office. he came armed with a nail gun and assault-style rifle. after a standoff, he died in a shoot-out, a casualty of apparent political rage that, over the week, appeared to deepen. trump said he was being attacked on all sides, meaning the fbi but also the new york attorney general who is investigating whether the trump organization hyped property values to obtain bank loans while lowballing those same valuations to evade taxes. at his deposition on the matter trump invoked his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination hundreds of times, something he railed against on the campaign trail.

>> you see the mob takes the fi. if you're innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment? >> reporter: yet another blow to trump, a federal appeals court tuesday ruled democrats on the house ways and means committee can obtain his tax returns. >> i could run the trump organization -- >> reporte: through it all trump was reminded of his own words and actions. >> i'm not really saying tax returns because they're under audit. >> reporter: in 2018 he signed legislation increasing prison sentences for the mishandling of classified information. and even as trump charged that america was turning into a banana republic, federal and state authorities said they were following the facts and law in service of the republic. >> faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of a justice department and of our democracy. upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without

fear or favor. >> reporter: as trump considers a bid to win back the white house, the nation pondered not only that possibility but one of a former president running again while under criminal investigation or possibly indictment. a stormy situation indeed.
