Takeouts: rowing across the Atlantic, good week/bad week

The World

SPORTS TAKEOUT: At 22 years old, Katie Spotz became the youngest American to row across the Atlantic Ocean alone this week. She chronicled her journey on a blog while she made the journey. Now that she’s back on dry land, she joins The Takeaway to share her story.

GOOD WEEK/ BAD WEEK: We team up with The Week Magazine to take a look at who has had a good week and who hasn’t. This week has been great for CBS, who gets to broadcast Tiger Woods’s return to golf. And it was a bad week to take a nap in your car. A Florida woman fell asleep in her car and woke up somewhere else.
