Season 2011 Episode 2020

Mixed signals come out of Washington as to whether progress is being made over reaching a deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling before the Aug. 2 deadline. Also, we look at the devastating consequences of soaring food prices in Indonesia and examine the last chapter for the book giant Borders. Finally, an excerpt from a land dispute film out of Zimbabwe and a book conversation with Robin Wright.
