After three previous debates that focused largely on the personalities in the Republican presidential field, the candidates in Wednesday night's debate had an opportunity to stake out some clear policy positions, and they took it.
Swim for vets
Five months ago, Navy veteran Chris Ring started his mission to bring attention to the families of the fallen, by swimming the entire length of the Mississippi River. He spends six to eight hours a day, six days a week, in the muddy water. We meet the man behind the mighty tribute.
Anger vented
Thousands of Afghans have swarmed the streets of Kabul, blasting ISIS and the Taliban after seven civilians were beheaded, but also calling for their leaders to step down over their inability to stem the bloodletting.
Fantasy sports
It's a crackdown on daily fantasy sports' largely unregulated gameplay as New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman ordered FanDuel and DraftKings, two of the biggest fantasy sports companies, to stop accepting bets in his state. Schneiderman tells CBS News about his cease and desist order.
Singles Day
