Barack Obama makes travel plans for Europe and the Middle East

The World

Obama’s first major trip overseas next week is drawing major media attention, though the itinerary is still a mystery. Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories, Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany, France and the United Kingdom, have been mentioned as possible stops, and three TV networks ? CBS, ABC and NBC ? have requested that their nightly news anchors tag along. Guests: Jeff Zeleny, New York Times political correspondent
