CBS News Legend Don Hewitt Dies at 86

Don Hewitt, the CBS News legend who created many of the hallmarks of television news, including its most successful show, 60 Minutes, has died, CBS News reported Tuesday. He was 86.

Over a career lasting more than six decades, Hewitt directed Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, the most influential newsmen of their era, and helped shape coverage of moments historic both for television and the country, including the first presidential debate, between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, in 1960. read more

Did You Spend Time with 60 Minutes and President Obama?

Steve Kroft boiled a 90-minute sit-down with Barack Obama into a 60 Minutes profile of the sitting President of the United States. Among the topics covered were the economy (well, yeah), the bonus tax, healthcare, automakers' bailouts, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

US Airways' Hero Pilot, Passengers Share Miracle River Landing

Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and the US Airways flight 1549 crew have been making headlines ever since they safely landed a jet with 155 people in the Hudson River. But their first television appearances since last month's crash served as a poignant reminder that the plunge into the icy water was more than some Hollywood fantasy.

"It was the worst, sickening pit-of-your-stomach, falling-through-the floor feeling I've ever felt in my life. I knew immediately it was very bad," Sullenberger told Katie Couric during his 60 Minutes interview on Sunday. "I knew immediately that this, unlike every other flight I'd had for 42 years, was ... read more

CBS Devoting Monday's Early Show to U.S. Airways Pilot

Sully's 15 minutes of fame are morphing into 60 Minutes and counting.

Viewers got a preview of Katie Couric's sitdown with Chesley Sullenberger, the hero pilot of Flight 1549, when she visited CBS's Early Show Friday to show an excerpt from the interview. The rest will air on Sunday's 60 Minutes. She also provided a preview on Thursday's Evening News.

"It was the worst sickening, pit-of-your-stomach, falling-through-the-floor feeling I've ever felt in my life," Sullenberger says in the interview excerpt.

The Early Show will also devote its entire episode Monday to Flight 1549, which Sullenberger successfully touched down in New York City's Hudson River last month after bird strikes took out its engines. Guests will include ...
