[description] Iraqi officials are throwing open the country's oil fields, the world's third-largest, to international bidding today. Cod, cannoli, and Cape Ann. In his new book "The Last Fish Tale," Mark Kurlansky chronicles the storied past of Gloucester, Massachusetts, which he calls "America's oldest fishing port and most original town." Gloucester, once a haven for writers and artists like T.S. Elliot, Winslow Homer, and Charles Olson, can now barely support a part-time fishing fleet due to overfishing, ground trawling, and government regulations. Kurlansky says that Gloucester now risks becoming what so many other old fishing ports have already become: a tourist trap. John McCain travels to Colombia and Mexico this week following his weekend meeting with the Rev. Billy Graham and his son, Rev. Franklin Graham.

[description] Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy was released from the hospital today, one day after news broke that the 76 year-old democrat was diagnosed with a potentially lethal form of brain cancer. We speak to long-time Kennedy watcher, Kevin Cullen of the Boston Globe. We also speak to Congressional correspondent, Gail Chaddock of the Christian Science Monitor, about how Kennedy's absence from the Senate could effect legislation.
