COVER STORY: A stake in success: Boosting profits via employee ownership | Watch Video
All 800 workers at an Illinois factory received an average payout of about $175,000 when their company sold, because they had been made part-owners. It's part of a new business model to tackle wealth inequality, and it's coming from an unlikely force: private equity, which has long had a reputation for layoffs and cost-cutting. National Public Radio's Allison Aubrey talks with workers about their big payday; and with an executive at private equity firm KKR, who believes ownership can increase employee loyalty and boost profits.

U.S.: The Washington Monument: Honoring "an idea as much as a man" | Watch Video
In our nation's capital one monument stands above them all: the Washington Monument, the 555-foot-tall marble obelisk whose cornerstone was laid 175 years ago this year. The monument is one of the few in Washington that doesn't prominently feature an image of the person it honors, but it wasn't initially designed that way. Correspondent Faith Salie examines the twisty tale of the construction of this simple, straightforward spire, and how it ended up the perfect expression of what our first president was, and still is, in the minds of the American people.
