Tonight On 60 Minutes:

(CBS) All three stories on Sunday's 60 Minutes will be Mike Wallace interviews of newsmakers, including a scheduled sit-down with Dr. Jack Kevorkian that will be his first post-prison interview. The broadcast also includes a new interview with actress Vanessa Redgrave and a rebroadcast of parts of Wallace's interview with the feisty Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

This special broadcast also features an Andy Rooney tribute to Wallace and will be broadcast this Sunday, June 3, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Kevorkian went to prison as a result of his first interview with Wallace, broadcast in 1998 on 60 Minutes. In it, he showed himself on videotape injecting lethal chemicals into Lou Gehrig's disease sufferer Thomas Youk, who wanted to die. The assisted suicide activist was convicted of second-degree murder and sent to a Michigan prison, from which he will be paroled on June 1, after serving more than eight years.

1. Vanessa Redgrave might be interesting. I don't much give a rip about Kevorkian, and I already saw
the original Mike Wallace interview with Ahmadinejad; in which Wallace came off as a totally smug and arrogant jerk and managed to make Ahmadinejad appear erudite and charming by contrast -- what an accomplishment! Good job, Mike, you pathetic conventional wisdom hack!

4. I don't have cable, so the "debate" (Miss USA contest) is unavailable to me. (nt)
