Generational sin; and the history of the Pledge

In Wednesday's RNS report, Shawna Gamache examines the idea of "generational sin" -- the belief that the "sins of the father" are passed down to future generations -- by looking at Beverly Hubble Tauke's recent book, "Overcoming the Sins of the Family: Becoming the Redemptive Generation."

And Nancy Haught probes into the history of the Pledge of Allegiance with the help of a new book called "To the Flag: The Unlikely History of the Pledge of Allegiance," by Richard J. Ellis.
