No "easy solution"

In a sit-down interview with Charlie Rose, President Obama makes it clear the U.S. military would have no problem eliminating the threat posed by "irresponsible" North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but then he explains why he thinks the U.S. can't go that route, and what it's doing instead.

The gamblers

Donald Trump has a lead in Indiana ahead of the state's primary. John Kasich, currently in third, isn't campaigning there and has teamed up with Ted Cruz on the assumption that voters backing Kasich will throw their support to Cruz, effectively depriving Trump of the delegates. But is that a safe assumption?

Nor'easter

A sense of inevitability is growing around both the Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton campaigns, and they could easily build on that momentum today. Voters will cast their primary ballots in five states where the front-runners hold solid leads. All told, there are 556 delegates at stake, so what should you watch for?

Fuzzy math

The most important number this year is 1,237: the number of delegates required for a candidate to win the Republican presidential nomination outright. In some states the delegate selection process is completely divorced from what happens at the ballot box, making pre-convention prediction a tricky business. Here's how it works in the states with some of the craziest delegate selection rules.

Murder mystery

It's been four days since the bodies of the Rhoden family were found in Ohio, but no one has been arrested. We hear an emotional account from a man who was detained at gunpoint by police, questioned for six hours, but eventually let go. And could the grisly murders be the work of a Mexican cartel?

Dominating demographic

Baby boomers' long reign over the kingdom of American demographics has finally come to an end, with a new set officially surpassing them as the largest living generation in the country. So what -- and whom -- is behind the shifting population, and how will it change again in years to come?

Honest grub

Some apples can be stored and sold up to 10 months after they're picked, but how can you tell? See how companies including Target are developing new technology to show when food was picked, how nutritious it is, and whether it contains pesticides.
