With 64 books to her name, Margaret Atwood has been called the "prophet of doom" for her uncanny ability to write about catastrophes in her fiction before they happen in real life. This Sunday, she talks with Jon Wertheim about her dystopian classic, "The Handmaid's Tale," and why she thinks it became a cultural touchstone.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.
