Boys to Men

Society has imposed a hard set of rules on boys and men, denying them the ability to embrace certain emotions such as tenderness, empathy, grief and fear. Rebecca Walker’s new book compiles essays from a variety of writers confronting the attributes men espouse. Plus, Bob Simon from 60 Minutes discusses his interview with Muqtada al-Sadr in Iraq.
