BOOKS: The timeless fashion style of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy
From the moment she first began appearing at the side of John F. Kennedy Jr., Carolyn Bessette, a fashion industry publicist, became one of the most photographed women in the world.

SPORTS: "Breaking News": Breaking, the newest Olympic sport
Breaking (or breakdancing), an acrobatic dance style with its roots in New York's hip hop culture, is making its Olympic debut in this year's Summer Games in Paris. Correspondent Luke Burbank talks with Victor Montalvo (a.k.a. B-Boy Victor), who will be competing for breaking gold; and with founding members of the b-boy group New York City Breakers, who came up with some of the sport's original moves in the Bronx back in the late 1970s and early '80s.

PASSAGE: In memoriam

JUSTICE: The ethical quandary facing the Supreme Court (and America)
Polls show Americans' trust in the Supreme Court has never been lower, especially in light of ethical lapses that lead observers to question the impartiality of justices. Correspondent David Pogue talks with experts who explain why initiatives at the nation's highest court -- from a code of ethics to term limits to the nuclear option of impeachment -- are unlikely to restore respect and trust in SCOTUS any time soon.

ART: Rediscovering the photographs of Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney recently uncovered photographs he'd thought were lost – ones he took during The Beatles' first tour of America in 1964. The pictures – candid shots from the vantage point of newly-anointed superstars – are the basis of the book, "1964: Eyes of the Storm," and an exhibition currently on view at the Brooklyn Museum. Correspondent Anthony Mason gets a private tour with McCartney, who talks about documenting the astonishing welcome that the "lads from Liverpool" received in the U.S. (This story was originally broadcast on June 18, 2023.)

WORLD: USS Carney returns from a Middle East deployment like no other
For the crew of the USS Carney, the war between Israel and Hamas turned a routine seven-month deployment to the Middle East into a fight against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, who launched drones and missiles in support of Hamas. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin talks with commanders of the destroyer that patrolled the Red Sea, defending commercial ships transiting to and from the Suez Canal.
