Scarlett JohanssonExtending the Axis
President Bush has been criticized for labeling Iraq, Iran, and North Korea an “axis of evil,” but Ambassador Mark Palmer argues that the big problem with Bush’s axis is that it doesn’t include as many countries as it should – he adds China, Syria, Algeria and Angola to the list. Then Scarlett Johansson talks about bringing a Vermeer painting to life in her new film, "Girl With a Pearl Earring". And a discussion with Daniel Okrent on the conception and creation of Rockefeller Center.
