"The Insider" on 60 Minutes tonight

Jeffrey Wigand, the tobacco company whistleblower whose story was portrayed in the 1999 movie "The Insider," was profiled by Mike Wallace on tonight's "60 Minutes." It was strange. The movie had revealed to the world how Mike Wallace and "60 Minutes" had betrayed Dr. Wigand when he first blew the whistle. Perhaps Mike Wallace is now trying to make amends, to make things right before he retires?

Tonight's story briefly touches on the earlier one, and then goes on to show Wigand's current work, trying to keep kids from smoking.
