Storytelling is not just for fiction writers. The Moth, a New York-based arts club is holding a storytelling event centered on the art of news reporting, hosted by Jonathan Ames. CBS correspondent Randall Pinkston spins some of his media yarns. Plus: a roundup of news from the Middle East, a second look at a study that showed Britons were healthier than Americans and listeners calls on whether the US should have dealings with Hamas.
