Covering war can be a deadly experience for reporters, and veterans say that Syria's civil war is becoming more dangerous by the day. As long as a year ago, reporters were asking each other if it could still be covered at all. Despite the deaths of friends and colleagues, they're still at it. We hear what that means. Also, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke says the biggest threat to the economy is the Congress, and Zealot, a new book, which claims the historical Jesus was not the same as the Christ described in the Gospels.
