    At least three are dead and 170 wounded in what President Obama calls an act of "terrorism." We update yesterday's bombings at the Boston Marathon, including the impact on a historic American city. Also, the Senate "Gang of 8" hammer out a bipartisan immigration bill. On Reporter's Notebook, a bipartisan investigative task force is unanimous: the US committed "torture" with "no justification" after September 11. We talk with a retired general who served on the task force.
