History Made

In her speech formally accepting the Democratic nomination for president, Hillary Clinton crystallized her race against Donald Trump, saying, "America is once again at a moment of reckoning." Clinton became the first female presidential nominee of a major political party in U.S. history.

Say What?

Trump was quick to react to Clinton's speech. He wants to cast the race less in terms of Republican versus Democrat than outsider versus insider.

Frank Assessment

Former Attorney General Eric Holder didn't mince words when asked by CBS News' Charlie Rose about Donald Trump's intellectual capacity.

Moscow connections

The Clinton campaign has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of leaking stolen Democratic National Committee emails to help Donald Trump's candidacy. But Trump denies having any ties to Moscow. We take a closer look at Trump's dealings with Russia and Putin, and how he's been trying to bring his brand to Moscow for decades.

Growth Industry

According to some estimates, as many as 150,000 people are employed by cannabis companies in the U.S. today. That means more Americans are working in the marijuana business than there are flight attendants, web developers and librarians. We look at how the burgeoning pot industry is seeding a job boom, from accountants and software engineers to store managers and "budtenders."

Pressure Relievers

Overdue on a bill? The feds want have your back. For the first time in four decades, the U.S. government intends to go after debt collectors. Proposed rules from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are intended to clean up an industry that's become notorious for abusing consumers. We look at five debt-collection practices the agency wants to stop.

Easy Compensation

Spending eight hours a day sitting at your desk can take a serious toll on your health. But a new study says an hour a day of physical activity can make up for all those sedentary hours -- and you don't need a hard-core gym regimen to get the benefits.
