It's been a brutal winter for much of the country, but if you think you've gotten a lot of snow, imagine being in the heart ofYellowstone National Park where the average snowfall is 12 feet per year, with twice that much possible in higher elevations. Yellowstone is a wild and beautiful place in winter, especially for one man -- Steve Fuller, a "winter keeper" who has spent the past 40 winters (often alone) clearing snow and maintaining buildings inside the park until the spring thaw allows visitors to return. Lee Cowan travels the spectacular back-country of Yellowstone in our Cover Story.
In 2002 Kelly Clarkson shot from obscurity to instant fame when she became the first contestant to win "American Idol." America, it seems, got it right. Her first single, "A Moment Like This," topped the charts and became the biggest-selling single of the year. And that was just the beginning. With a string of hit songs -- from "Breakaway" to "Since U Been Gone" to the recent "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" -- Clarkson is one of the most successful artists of the decade, winning three Grammys (among countless other awards), and selling more than 20 million albums. Our Tracy Smith pays an at-home visit to Clarkson to talk about her meteoric rise to fame, her career, and being a new mother.
Monarch butterflies are among Nature's most beautiful and fragile creatures. They have long been a welcome and familiar presence in backyard gardens across the country. But lately their numbers have been dwindling, as their habitat and food supply disappears. Our contributor, National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore, traces the Monarch's migration from the mountains of Mexico northward through the United States, and talks about the challenges we face as a nation if we are going to save this magnificent species.
In 2011 the arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund and one of the world's most powerful men, made headlines. The rape charges brought against him were eventually dropped, but now Strauss-Kahn is on trial again, this time in France for his involvement with prostitutes. As Strauss-Kahn's then-wife, journalist Anne Sinclair suffered through it all, but that was just a small part of her unique and fascinating personal story. Erin Moriarty of "48 Hours" sits down for some questions and answers with Sinclair, a media star in her own right, whose family provides a revealing history of France before and after World War II.
ALSO: Jane Pauley heads to Broadway for a look behind the scenes at the hit show "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"; we'll have Steve Hartman's latest inspirational tale from "On the Road"; John Blackstone tells us how a robot is helping people across the country visit a San Francisco art museum by remote control; Seth Doane introduces us to an American most people have never heard of but who is a superstar in Japan -- all that and a lot more this "Sunday Morning."
