Handicapping the races
The battle for control of the Senate is coming down to the wire, as Democrats and Republicans make their last-minute pushes. Tight races for the governor's seats in Florida, Wisconsin and Colorado have prompted campaign spending that has surpassed Senate races by millions.

Training by fire
There's growing concern inside the intelligence community that extremist groups may launch new attacks against American embassies and other facilities.

Ebola insurance
Multinational corporations and nongovernmental organizations that operate at the epicenter of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, as well as U.S. health care facilities, are scrambling to make sure they have adequate insurance coverage against the deadly disease. However, insurers are starting to issue riders or endorsements on policies limiting or in some cases excluding from coverage of any activities in the countries affected by the deadly disease.
