Terror arrests

Two Iraqi refugees are due in court to face federal charges of supporting terrorism. One of the men was arrested in Sacramento and the other in Houston. Investigators say one suspect fought in Syria's civil war before returning to the U.S., and the arrests are stoking the debate over refugees in America.

Drug pushers

West Virginia is suing pharmacies and drug distributors accused of making millions pushing narcotics to anyone who wants them. No state has had more trouble with prescription pain pills, and no town more trouble than Kermit. CBS News investigates the small town's big drug problem.

Food fight

New dietary guidelines from the USDA and Department of Health and Human Services are supposed to tell you what you should and shouldn't eat to stay healthy, but they're already being hammered by critics who say the new recommendations will only confuse people further.

Calculated response

North Korea grabbed the world's attention this week by claiming a successfully hydrogen bomb test. The U.S. is "highly skeptical" it was an actual thermonuclear device, but experts say it could still represent a leap forward for the North's nuclear program -- and it demands a carefully calibrated response.

Propaganda queen

She's a familiar face to North Koreans; the veteran news anchor who re-appeared this week, decked out in a pink, traditional Korean gown, to announce the North's claim of a hydrogen bomb test. But who is the woman known in the Hermit Kingdom as "the people's broadcaster?"

Book mystery

A deepening mystery in Hong Kong sounds like the plot of a thriller, but it's all too real. Five people have vanished since October -- all of them connected to a publishing company that specializes in books critical of communist China's leadership.
