Solange Magnano once was on top of the world. She was beautiful and famous (she represented Argentina in the Miss Universe pageant), and she enjoyed success as a runway model.

But she still wasn't happy.

Obsessed with her physical appearance, Magnano went in for a non-surgical procedure designed to improve the look of her backside. Three days later she was dead.

In this clip, Rick talks to Rafael Romo about the stir this needless death has caused in the Latin American media, and with Elizabeth Cohen from CNN's medical unit.

A Latino religious leader is calling for Hispanics living in the United States to boycott next year's census.

Why would he do that?

Here's both sides of this argument, including input from a Latino community leader who says a boycott would be a big mistake.

Osama Bin Laden is still out there somewhere. That's a fact.

In this clip, Rick shows a montage of correspondents reporting from Afghanistan on the hunt for Bin Laden shortly after 9/11.

Then there's today: Rick speaks to Ben Wedeman from Cairo and a veteran CNN field producer about why eight years of hunting has so far yielded no fruit.

Just don't call him "liberal"!

Rick's guest in this clip is Vermont's Independent Senator Bernie Sanders.

Topic: the health care bill, and that little sticky little matter of the "Public Option". Sen. Sanders says without it, no health care bill will see his signature.

Nidal Malik Hasan rose to the rank of Major in the U.S. Army, despite a documented history of concern expressed by his supervisors, and the FBI's awareness that he was communicating with a cleric who preached jihad against the west.

Wow. Really?

Rick's guest in this clip is James Yee. You may remember Yee as the Army chaplain who was accused of helping Islamic detainees at Guantanamo.

He has his own ideas about Major Hasan, and his apparently successful career. He also shares what it's like to be an observant Muslim in the ranks of the United States military.

You know I'm all about "Follow The Money", and I've got another one for you.

It's one of those cases of the suits getting paid "no matter what". Here's the deal: A congressional investigation looked at some of the biggest companies that turned their pension plans over to the government, because they were losing money.

The GAO found that the top executives of FOUR of those big companies got almost $50 MILLION in retirement and other benefits, while their employees saw their traditional pension plans slashed...in some cases by A LOT.

Read the GAO report by clicking here.

You'll see companies highlighted representing three industries: 2 airlines, an electronics company, and an insurance firm. We've confirmed those companies as USAirways, United Airlines, Polaroid, and Reliance Insurance.

All of those companies declared bankruptcy, the government took over the pensions, but the top executives got millions in pay and perks!

Read the report. I was appalled. Tell me if you are too.

Rick's guests: two journalists who spent much of the 2008 election season embedded with the Sarah Palin Vice-Presidential campaign.

It failed, of course.

Rick's guests wrote a book called "Sarah From Alaska". They have a fascinating inside look at where the campaign may have come off the rails.

Sarah Palin is back.

One year after the demise of her Vice Presidential campaign, she suddenly seems to be everywhere.

Among other things, she says she wasn't particularly surprised when Sen. John McCain offered her the nomination.

Palin uses her new book to continue attacking Democrats, some Republicans and members of the media, but her harshest criticism is reserved for Sen. McCain's campaign staff, which she accuses of sugar-coating her 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy.

In this clip, I ask CNN's Senior Political Correspondent Candy Crowley to help me pick apart some new opinion polls on Sarah Palin.

Do you think Palin is hawking a 2012 candidacy? You wouldn't be the only one. Watch.

I've recently read "Too Big To Fail" by Andrew Sorkin of the New York Times.  A great read about the meltdown on Wall Street.  And Andrew Sorkin was kind enough to join me on the show.  Watch.
