Lastly, Bill Whitaker was on the water in New England and Nova Scotia earlier this month, where sightings of great white sharks close to beaches have created what scientists are saying is a mostly unwarranted fear. He reports on the resurgence of perhaps man’s most feared creature: the great white shark.
