60 Minutes 10
November 2025
Margaret Atwood's fiction tells of future worlds
plagued by totalitarianism, environmental collapse, and global
pandemic.
At 85,
she looks not forward but back at her own life in a new
memoir.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in
history.
Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews,
feature segments and profiles of people in the news,
the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50
seasons later,
regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.
