In 2024, romance – a genre once relegated to the back corners of bookstores – might just be saving the publishing industry. But while more and more readers are looking for love between their covers, few are reaching for titles by one of the first giants of the genre, Dame Barbara Cartland, author of over 600 romances, colloquially known as the “Queen of Romance,” and a favorite writer of Princess Diana. While her work has fallen out of fashion, Cartland's legacy can tell us a lot about the romance genre's contemporary dominance. Best-selling author Casey McQuiston, along with Cartland’s granddaughter Tara Parker, join Seth Doane to discuss her impact on the world.

In 2023, Anderson Cooper reported that a large number of antiquities in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection had come to the world-class museum by way of theft. Ancient art had been looted from Cambodian temples fifty years ago and the Cambodian Government wanted them back. But as Cooper discovered, returning the stolen goods was no simple matter – a lesson that another 60 Minutes correspondent had learned two decades prior.

In 2002, Ed Bradley traveled to Greece and England to cover a dispute that is hundreds of years old – whether the British Museum should return a collection of marble statues removed from the Parthenon back to Athens. This episode of 60 Minutes: A Second Look will examine why, more than 20 years later, that dispute remains deadlocked, and whether efforts like those by the Cambodian activists that Cooper profiled are changing the way we think about museums and the ownership of ancient art.

One of the biggest stories in sports may be happening off the field – and on betting apps. As 60 Minutes correspondent Jon Wertheim reported earlier this year, what was once done in the shadows is now as much a part of the spectator experience as hot dogs and foam fingers. Placing wagers on everything from point spreads to the color of gatorade bottles is now fully legal in most states. But the popularization of sports betting has brought a new wave of concern over gambling addiction – a condition that 60 Minutes has been covering since before it was officially recognized by the DSM. As we grapple with this new normal, we remember a series of stories from the from the 1970s and 80s – when Dan Rather and Harry Reasoner met an extreme compulsive gambler named Irving North whose addiction was destroying his family. We meet his son Larry today as he relives his experience with his father and their time with 60 Minutes. And Wertheim joins us to consider what the past might say about the future.
