Q&A: Maureen Dowd’s “own little basket of deplorables” | Watch Video
When asked if she ever reads the comments to her articles, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd replied, “Never.” And that’s probably a wise decision. She told Mo Rocca, “I’m always making one side or the other angry” -- and more likely, both. But her siblings, Peggy and Kevin, create Dowd’s own personal focus group. “All I have to do is go home. They’re my own little ‘basket of deplorables,’” she said.

PASSAGE: England posthumously pardons homosexuals (Video)
It happened this past week: the righting of a long-standing wrong in Britain, where the government announced it was granting posthumous pardons to roughly 50,000 men convicted of homosexual offenses in years past. The policy shift is informally referred to as Turing’s Law, after Alan Turing, the math genius who helped break the Germans’ Enigma Code during World War II, only to apparently commit suicide in 1954 after a conviction. Jane Pauley reports.
