Invisible Wounds of War / Statewide Earthquake Forecast
With the lawsuit by veterans groups against the Department of Veterans Affairs beginning in federal court in San Francisco, we look at a recent study finding that one in five Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or major depression. Then in the second half-hour, in light of Friday's 102nd anniversary of the great San Francisco Earthquake, we look at the first official study forecasting statewide earthquake probabilities.
