To lead our broadcast this week, we repeat an Emmy-winning story that so eloquently tells a tragedy. There are things in this world that are so horrible they are hard to comprehend. Sometimes the best way to make the incomprehensible easier to understand is to find one person whose story tells the larger story. That’s what correspondent Scott Pelley did when he came across a school book with the name "Jacob" written in it. He set out on an adventure unlike any you've seen before, to search for Jacob, a student whose life was changed forever by the genocide in Darfur. 

Watch a preview.

Our second story is about the Kanzius machine, a radio wave machine that kills cancer cells and could someday cure cancer. Correspondent Lesley Stahl reported the remarkable story of John Kanzius last April, a former television executive who invented the machine using kitchen pots and pans, and even hot dogs. Kanzius came up with the idea while fighting his own deadly form of leukemia. In the hospital for treatment, he was haunted by the faces of children with cancer, and decided to try to come up with a cancer treatment without side effects. The Kanzius machine has been used successfully to kill cancer in animals. Although it’s too soon to tell if it will work for people, Dr. Steven Curley, a liver cancer doctor says, "I’ve got to tell you, in 20 years of research this is the most exciting things that I’ve encountered."

For our third story, you’ll want to turn up the volume of your television set. As correspondent Bob Simon reported last spring, through a system of early training and local orchestras, Venezuela has not only provided an uplifting musical experience for thousands of children, but also developed a youth orchestra that is world famous. Some say this is the key to the future of classical music. Indeed, it has produced one of classical music's biggest stars today, Gustavo Dudamel, who will soon conduct the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Watch Simon's reporter's notebook.

These stories, and Andy Rooney in staying put, on this Sunday’s 60 Minutes, July 20, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
