Winning Iowa

It's the day of the first voting contest for the presidential election, and there are tight races at the top of both parties. Turnout is likely to be the key to the Iowa caucuses -- some candidates would likely benefit from a lower turnout. We take a look at the state of the race as Iowans kick off Election 2016.

Facebook primaries

On the Democratic side, the candidate chatter on Facebook around Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders is close, and pretty closely reflects their standing in the latest Iowa polls. For the GOP, however, the race seems considerably more lopsided on the social networking platform than does on the ground.

Anonymous, Inc.

Much of the priciest New York City real estate is being snapped up not by individuals, but by anonymous shell companies with secret owners. There's nothing illegal about it as long as the money's legitimate, but there's no way to tell, if you don't know who the real buyers are. "60 Minutes" learns how easy it seems to have become to conceal questionable funds from law enforcement and the public.

"From scratch"

U.S. military trainers in the far west of Ukraine are trying to "re-tool an army from scratch," while that same army takes on better-trained, better-equipped forces in a grueling war on the other side of the country. A U.S. commander tells CBS News that everyone -- including the U.S. -- has a lot learn.

Zika virus

Experts of the World Health Organization are meeting in Geneva to discuss an action plan to counter the Zika virus outbreak, which could be declared a global emergency this week. There are at least 31 cases in the U.S., all related to recent travel. We visit, Brazil the country at the epicenter of the outbreak.

Credit scores

People with good credit have an easier time borrowing money, renting apartments and finding lower interest rates for all types of loans. They're also more likely to live in certain states. We look at the 10 U.S. cities whose residents have the highest overall credit scores.

Anti-cancer diet

There's mounting evidence that what teenage girls eat could affect their risk of breast cancer years later. A new study suggests teens who eat more foods rich in one thing in particular could be significantly less likely to develop breast cancer in adulthood.
