The New Yorker’s Seymour Hersh discusses his new book, Chain of Command: The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib--a collection of his The New Yorker articles since 2001. The book includes previously unpublished stories, and discusses the story behind Hersh's renowned investigation of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. Then Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, co-creator and star of Designing Women (and well-known as a friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton), shares her first novel, Liberating Paris. Next, mountain climber and outdoorsman Aron Ralston. In April 2003 he got his arm trapped behind an 800-pound boulder while hiking in Utah. After realizing that he couldn’t free his arm, and that it was unlikely that anyone would rescue him, he found himself in an excruciating position—he would have to cut off his own hand in order to escape. Finally, we'll talk to renowned dog behaviorist Cesar Millan (host of National Geographic's The Dog Whisperer) about rehabilitating troubled dogs.
