Veronica Rueckert and Noah Ovshinsky talk with the founder of an effort to preserve comic books from the 1930’s to the 1960’s. Then, our guest political writer explains why he doesn’t think yesterday’s mass shooting in the nation’s capital will bring forth any new gun laws. Plus, we’ll look at the latest news and tonight’s FRONTLINE documentary examining the rise and fall of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood.
