President Jimmy Carter, who died on December 29th at the age of 100, sat down with 60 Minutes three times during his long life: once while in office; once soon after losing his re-election bid; and once in his golden years. In all of the interviews, he was candid -- sometimes even a bit bitter -- about his political adversaries, his personal values, and his public perception. The conversations chronicle not just a man's life, but h...

In 2024, romance – a genre once relegated to the back corners of bookstores – might just be saving the publishing industry.

While her work has fallen ou...

One of the biggest stories in sports may be happening off the field – and on betting apps. As 60 Minutes correspondent Jon Wertheim reported earlier this year, what was once done in the shadows is now as much a part of the spectator experience as hot dogs and foam fingers. Placing wagers on everything from point spreads to the color of gatorade bottles is now fully legal in most states. But the popularization of sports betting has ...

In the early 20th Century, there was no bigger celebrity than first daughter, Alice Roosevelt, daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt. She captured the attention of the nation with care-free, hard-partying ways and eccentricities, like her habit of carrying around a pet snake. Songs were written about her and a color was even named in her honor. On top of that, she married a future Speaker of the House and had an enduring affair ...

Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace once said that, in all his years as a journalist, very few interviews stayed with him like his time with Clint Hill, a former U.S. Secret Service agent on duty the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. During that interview, Hill stunned Wallace -- and the nation -- by admitting he felt responsible for the president's death. Hill would later say it was the first time he had ev...
