This week on “Sunday Morning” (December 15)

COVER STORY: Delivering the goods
Today, delivery is a bigger business than ever. With online shopping it’s estimated the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx and UPS will process, sort and deliver more than two billion packages between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve. Amazon’s own fleet of delivery trucks is expected to handle 275 million holiday season shipments. John Blackstone got access to the testing of delivery drones that may replace many of those truck deliveries. And then there are the Kiwibots – four-wheeled robots that navigate sidewalks to bring food to hungry college students in Berkeley, Calif. Blackstone also witnessed something somewhat anachronistic in these times: organic dairy products delivered by a milkman.

MOVIES: Harvey Keitel
Hollywood hasn’t always considered Harvey Keitel, as he puts it, “bankable.” But he’s always memorable, in such films as Martin Scorsese’s “Mean Streets,” “Taxi Driver” and “The Last Temptation of Christ,” “Thelma & Louise,” “Bugsy” (for which he earned an Academy Award nomination), “Pulp Fiction,” and his latest, a reunion with Scorsese in “The Irishman.” Keitel talked with “CBS This Morning” co-host Anthony Mason about his journey from Brooklyn and the Marines to being a “really lucky” actor who is not, he contends, a star.
