National security historian Timothy Naftali speaks to us about today’s bombings in London. Then, we'll hear from Stephen Dolginoff, who wrote and stars in Thrill Me, the new musical rendition of the 1924 Leopold and Loeb thrill kill case. Next, writer James Frey talks about life after rehab. And on today's Underreported feature, we look into whether events like Bob Geldof's Live 8 really help alleviate global poverty and third world debt.
