Trump-mania

We look at the completely unique nature of the fanfare following the Republican front-runner around the country. What makes his campaign so different, and could it change the face of American presidential politics -- and who decides to enter future races -- forever?

Palin endorsement

Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate, has officially endorsed Donald Trump's 2016 White House bid. "We are ready for a change," she said at a Trump rally in Iowa, with the candidate by her side. How is the front-runner, and the rest of the GOP field, reacting?

Zika virus

U.S. health officials are reporting new cases of a mosquito-borne virus linked to birth defects. Florida has three confirmed cases of the Zika virus, and officials in Illinois say two pregnant women have tested positive. Other states also have confirmed cases, including a baby born with a birth defect.

Safest cars

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is out with its top picks for America's safest cars. We look at which vehicles fare best in crash tests, and which ones can best help motorists avoid accidents in the first place.

Hacked at home?

Your home Wi-Fi may not be as safe as you think. Experts say many Internet routers have outdated software with security flaws that could leave users vulnerable to hackers. As we accumulate more Internet-connected devices and "smart" appliances, the risks only mount.

Oscars diversity

George Clooney and Whoopi Goldberg have joined the chorus of big Hollywood names criticizing the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and calling for more Oscar diversity. Many argue that having every acting nomination go to white performers is a symptom of a larger problem.

Rented threads

Christine Hunsicker helped lead two tech start-ups until they were bought by Yahoo! and Facebook. Now she hopes to disrupt the $1.4 trillion apparel industry with Gwynnie Bee, a subscription service renting everyday clothes to women sizes 10 to 32.
