The number of Americans with Alzheimer's disease is expected to double from 7 million in 2020 to 14 million by 2060, according to the CDC. However, advances in treatment options are giving more people hope in slowing the decline. Dr. Jon LaPook breaks it down. In April, nine GOP state senators from Montana were censured for voting with Democrats. Jo Ling Kent speaks with some of them about why they voted against party lines, and what they're hopes are for the future of U.S. politics.

CBS News contributor David Begnaud shows how he found a way to come back even stronger.
