Bob Schieffer, moderator of CBS’s Face the Nation since 1991, looks back at 50 years worth of memorable broadcasts with some of the world’s biggest newsmakers. Then, Kay Redfield Jamison studies the symptoms and side effects of exuberance—from creativity to risk-taking. And at age 30, Amy Fisher has found happiness as a columnist, wife, and mother. In her new memoir, If I Knew Then, she looks back at her affair with Joey Buttafuoco when she was 16, and her fateful decision to shoot his wife. Finally, Phil Gordon. A two-time World Poker Tour champion, and the co-host of Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown, he offers some advice to aspiring card sharks in Poker: The Real Deal.
