TB hits prime time with 60 Minutes’ segment
The long-running CBS investigative documentary "60 Minutes" has wrapped production for a segment on TB in Russian prisons, says show spokesman Kevin Tedesco. Correspondent Steve Kroft produced the segment, which will include interviews with several American TB experts. The message the segment will deliver is scary but simple, says Tedesco: "It’s that the Russians’ failure to treat TB adequately has resulted in virulent new strains of TB, which can spread to other countries. I’m sure your readers are familiar with this; but it’s something about which most members of our audience may not yet be aware." At last word, they’ll find out sometime in late fall, when the show is tentatively set to air.
