Escape help
There is new evidence that the prison break in northern New York could have been an inside job. CBS News has learned that investigators are questioning a female employee, Joyce Mitchell, of the Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate Dannemora -- about whether she helped the convicts.
Dennis Hastert
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert will appear before a federal judge in Chicago today.

Pistorius free
Paralympic double-amputee track star Oscar Pistorius is set to be freed from a South African prison after just ten months for taking the life of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Drones check for cheaters
The "gaokao," which means "higher test" in Chinese, is like the SAT on steroids. To say it's a big deal -- and dreaded -- is an understatement. The stakes are so high for students that the temptation to cheat is a concern. CBS News Correspondent Seth Doane reports on how authorities are now using drones to check for cheaters.
European trip
Before Jeb Bush makes his presidential candidacy official in less than a week, he's going on a three-country visit to Germany, Poland and Estonia. The trip has all the trappings of a foreign policy excursion for a presidential candidate: meetings with foreign leaders, the chance to knock the president's foreign policy, while also taking a few swipes at that of another White House aspirant, Hillary Clinton. But he'll also be going after one foreign leader in particular: Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Gay marriage benefit
Gay and lesbian couples who live in the dozen states around the U.S. where same-sex unions are not recognized could get vastly richer Social Security benefits if the Supreme Court gives them the right to marry.

"Daily Show" host Jon Stewart is known for using satire to criticize the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he is also a strong supporter of those serving in the military. Stewart and his team showed CBS News Correspondent Jim Axelrod how they are helping veterans find jobs in the competitive field of entertainment.
