Season 2012 Episode 1390 | 54m 39s

Tonight on the program, we analyze Facebook's public stock opening and how its stocks trading will affect the future of the now-public company. Also: making 'food security' an achievable goal, Mark Shields and David Brooks analyze the week's top political news, whether recently-released Trayvon Martin documents will affect the upcoming trial, and Americans' 'Information Diet'.

Aired: 05/17/12 | Expires: 06/17/12
