Survivors and officials count the human and material costs of the weekend's swarm of tornadoes that killed at least 44 people in half a dozen states. Also, we look at new financial worries after a key rating agency downgrades its long term outlook on the nation's debt and we get the latest from the ground in Libya. Finally, Robert MacNeil returns to launch a series of reports on Autism.
