Get a sneak peek into the upcoming campaign strategies the may be in place for either Clinton or Obama. Also, it's not unheard of to hear murderers languishing in prison avow to their innocence; but, what if it were true? And what if just about everyone knew it, but the years, nearly 30 of them, still crawl on while sitting in that jail cell? Tonight, lawyers Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz talk about how they knew an innocent man sat in prison, but couldn't do anything about it. Bob Simon reports. Finally, Lesley Stahl interviews billionaire Carl Icahn, the man with the "Midas Touch" when he becomes involved in just about any company. So much of that touch has been apparent that he's at the top of the business world and those in the know call it the "Icahn Lift" when he steps in. Some displaced workers however have a completely different opinion of him.
