As featured correspondent of CBS Evening News and Sunday Morning, and before that for, The New York Times, Bill Geist has been exploring the quirks and glories of this country, and is here to tell you: America is still the land of opportunity. That's right! Where else could Bob Chandler make a fortune by inventing that huge-wheeled, car-crushing, eardrum-blasting behemoth of the arena - the monster truck? Where else could you find Hardy Warren, dean of the dog-eat-dog California traffic school industry; Hall Schlenger, inventor of the cable Fish Channel ("You have to understand the entertainment value of a fish"); and of course, the legendary Ron Popeil, he of the Pocket Fisherman, Veg-O-Matic, and spray on hair? Only here. In Monster Trucks and Hair-In-A-Can, Bill Geist proves that the American dream is alive and well - and just a tad warped. Who says America doesn't make anything anymore?
