Yale historian Beverly Gage is uncovering some remarkable, and forgotten places in American history. She serves as an expert guide on a History Channel series called "Lost Worlds." This installment goes inside some of the secret places created in cold war America: the Hanford plutonium production site in Washington State, a Nevada nuclear testing site, and a hidden bunker beneath a posh West Virginia Resort meant to house Congress in case of attack. She's also the author of a forthcoming book about a long-forgotten bombing in the financial district of New York city that took place 81 years before the attacks of 9/11.
Also, Lt. Governor Michael Fedele attended a rally this week in Cheshire--that called for tougher laws against repeat offenders, that's in the wake of the deadly home invasion in that town.
