Napoleon Bonaparte: Rise to Power and Hollywood Legacy

Hosted by Jane Pauley. In our cover story, Lee Cowan revisits a man who has beaten the odds on his diagnosis of ALS – and successfully lobbied for more research funding from Congress. Also: Mark Phillips sits down with Ridley Scott, director of the new epic film "Napoleon"; Seth Doane looks at the scourge of e-waste, exported from the West to the global South; Robert Costa interviews Atlantic writer Tim Alberta about his book on evangelical Christians and politics, called "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory"; Journalist Mark Chiusano, author of "The Fabulist," says the New York Republican won - and kept - his seat in Congress because the weakness of America's institutions allowed Santos' lies to go undetected.
