[WSCSS] Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in gives rare interview

[Steven.Fisher at sf.frb.org]

Dear Teachers,

In our efforts to provide you with resources for teaching about the Fed's 
recent actions, we wanted to let you know that this Sunday, 60 Minutes, 
the CBS news magazine, will feature a rare interview (the first in 20 
years!) with a Federal Reserve Chairman. Chairman Ben Bernanke will 
discuss with CBS correspondent Scott Pelley what he thinks went wrong with 
America's financial system, how it caused the economic crisis, what the 
Federal Reserve is doing to help fix it, and when he expects the crippling 
recession to end. 

The interview, Bernanke's first on the record since he became Federal 
Reserve chair, will be broadcast this Sunday, March 15, at 7 p.m. PT.

Here is a link to the program announcement:
