BOOKS: How Mitch Albom found Chika | Watch Video
Ten years ago, when a terrible earthquake devastated Haiti, killing hundreds of thousands and leaving millions more injured and homeless, author Mitch Albom ("Tuesdays With Morrie") traveled to Port-au-Prince to try to help, and found children huddling in an orphanage. And while many people say they will come back to a disaster site and never do, Albom did, time and again, bringing volunteers from Detroit who rebuilt the orphanage and built a new school. But Albom also brought back home something precious: a little girl, Chika, who helped create a family with Albom and his wife, Janine Sabino. She would also inspire his latest book, "Finding Chika." Nancy Giles reports.

JUSTICE: A protest against racism, and a $31.5M defamation award | Watch Video
In 2016 a student from Oberlin College in Ohio, trying to use a fake ID to buy wine, was taken into custody by police. The arrest prompted demonstrations that accused the store's owners of being racist. And while the student was found guilty, the store owners sued Oberlin, claiming the college's support for the student demonstrators caused reputational damage. Senior contributor Ted Koppel examines how the jury's award in the case may undermine freedom of speech on college campuses, and the perhaps unanswerable question:  What is the fair price for a family's good name?
