[0:04] exclusive. Our Larara Logan is there as
[0:06] NATO forces launch a major new assault
[0:08] against the Taliban in Afghanistan,
[0:11] trying to put down the enemy's spring
[0:12] offensive before it begins. Also
[0:15] tonight, the government orders a big
[0:16] change in the way cars are built to keep
[0:19] them from going out of control in an
[0:20] emergency.
[0:22] We have a brand new look at the impact
[0:23] of immigration in America, the gains and
[0:26] the strains.

[1:11] Valley, where hardcore Taliban forces
[1:13] are concentrated. Our chief foreign
[1:15] correspondent, Lara Logan, is the only
