Television for the first time tomorrow, easter saturday, at a time when new claims have emerged that the fabric is not a forgery, as many have claimed, but instead really does date back to around jesus lifetime. these claims are published in a new book called "the mystery of the shroud" by a professor at padua university. where are we with the shroud? do you think there is now irrefutable evidence from a scholastic point of view that it does date to at least the time when jesus was alive? >> wel...

Stains and the composition of it and my publisher and i put it on our book because its an icon of jesus and this generation. people say maybe thats the oldest picture of jesus. they dont think of it as something that has to be scientifically confirmed but i am fascinated since ive got that image on my book with what theyre going to be uncovering throughout this process of deeper scientific investigation. >> definitely. one of the most contentious scenes from the passion of christ, mel gibsons ve...

Groups are massively outspent by opponents and stampede of federal elected officials declaring support for gay marriage includes one republican senator. how will that trend lead to legislation? the supreme court appears poised to overturn doma and return gay marriage to california on a technicality but the court is unlikely to address the 31 states that have constitutional amendments banning gay marriage. so gays and lesbians who live in those states will continue to wait for equal protection an...

Wind its way into the supreme. and ive got to tell you, given the composition of the court, given sort of this -- the changing competition of the court, it would be possible that a court would say, you know what, let the state do what they want to do. even though in 19 -- what is it -- 73, roe v. wade found it, and that allows the state to to defend when it is legal and the parameters around it. and i suspect its going to be challenged. and well be hearing about this case in probably years to co...

2014, though, i think because of the composition -- and if you look in the senate elections, much more red states, i think the social issues tend to help in red states for republicans. >> thats a very interesting point. very different when youre look at the house and senate, jill. one of the things weve been talking about with the gay marriage debates is that you still have ten democratic senators who have to the come out firmly in support of gay marriage. does this abortion issue potentially ho...

Mike barnicle e-mailed me this last night. we were e-mailing back and forth about the iraq war. and he said theres not a lot of conversation about the composition of the army and marine corps with regard to iraq. both were volunteer units and a majority of those who served were older than drafted for vietnam. most were married, more had children left at home. so there have been more divorces, more orphans, more widows than any war since world war ii. there have been advances of emergency medicin...

Country where we are a guest indicating hes got trouble with our president. so the senior u.s. nato commander is indicating, we have to stay vigilant. the mission continues. no changes to the mission. we just need to lean forward. i think at the lowest levels that means the composition of patrols, some of the missions might change and you might have exclusive afghan units and fewer afghan and u.s. units intermixed. >> just to remind people what ha a mid karzai said. the u.s. troops were colludin...

Microbial life. so the environment would have been good for life possibly to have developed on that planet. the environment would have been good. bill: the rover is literally drilling into a mars rock. how does curiosity get this information from the gravel, or the soil, whatever is inside of that rock? >> well this is a really remarkable device because it has so many science tools right on board to do the analysis to be able to determine what the composition of the rock is. it can identify the ...
