This Morning from CBS News, Jan. 21, 2016

Water crisis

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder is under increasing fire over the severe lead contamination in Flint's public water supply. E-mails released by his office suggest there may have been little interest in taking responsibility for the crisis, and he struggled to answer questions from Scott Pelley about the specifics.

PAC scams

This election is on track to break all spending records. Candidates, super PACs, party committees and political action committees are doing their best to swell coffers. But sometimes very few dollars from donors actually make it to the candidates. A CBS News investigation reveals why it's important for donors to do their homework.

Cruz vs. corn

GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz bucks the trend on a major issue in Iowa, and in spite of intense pressure from the state's agricultural lobby, he's sticking to his guns. Opposing the Renewable Fuel Standard was once considered political suicide in the key caucus state. Could it still be crippling?

Fed's next move

Many investors cheered when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in nine years. But the economy's rough ride so far this year is raising questions about whether the central bank moved too soon, and stirring speculation that further rates could be off the table in 2016.

Oldest Americans

More Americans than ever before are living past their 100th birthdays, and new data from the CDC shows the mortality rate for centenarians is actually dropping. But as people live longer, are their health and quality of life keeping pace?

Art and medicine

Medicine is an art as much as a science. An innovative program at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital teaches physicians in training to use their eyes and ears to connect with patients and enhance the practice of medicine.

One man's trash

Photographer Barry Rosenthal has found a unique way to tell the story of the damage humans are doing to the Earth's oceans -- by collecting thousands of pieces of trash scooped from the coastal areas of New York harbor and arranging them into intriguing works of fine art for his "Found in Nature" series.
