David And Susan Axelrod Fight For Epilepsy

Most Americans know David Axelrod as a senior political adviser to President Obama. But this Sunday, David and his wife Susan will join Katie Couric on CBS's 60 Minutes to discuss his other role -- as concerned parents of a daughter with epilepsy.

"At first we thought it would be a passing thing; we never realized these seizures would define her whole life," David Axelrod has said.

They aren't alone.

Epilepsy impacts up to three million Americans of all ages; more than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and Parkinson's disease combined. Federal and private dollars invested in epilepsy research pale in comparison to those spent on other diseases.

Walters to guest anchor 'This Week'; Ailes on Panel

As ABC decides who'll replace George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," the network plans to switch things up a bit next week.

Instead of rotating internal candidates Jake Tapper and Terry Moran -- who hosted today -- ABC has tapped Barbara Walters to guest anchor next Sunday's show.

Walters last hosted "This Week" in August 1990, when the biggest topic in the news was Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

Regardless of what the top political story is Sunday, Walters will have an interesting panel, with guests Arianna Huffington, Paul Krugman, George Will, and Fox News chairman Roger Ailes.

Over the past year, both Stephanopoulos and Rick Klein, of ABC's "The Note," have appeared on Fox News. But it's still surprising to see the head of Fox sitting down on the network's Sunday show.
