This Just In

Description

Bob Schieffer started his reporting career in Texas when he was barely old enough to buy a beer, joined CBS News in 1969, and became one of the few correspondents ever to have covered all four major Washington beats: the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, and Capitol Hill. Over the past four decades, he’s seen it all-and now he’s sharing the after-hours tales only his colleagues know.This Just In1. Oswald’s Mother
