This Morning from CBS News, Sept. 27, 2016

Any winner?

Like so many other moments in this unpredictable 2016 campaign, the first presidential debate defied conventional patterns. Donald Trump declared himself the winner, but those in his inner circle worried Hillary Clinton scored more points than they anticipated.

Fact-check

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump spent an hour and a half hurling purported facts and information at each other, and at the massive television audience in last night’s debate. And both said some things that failed to pass the truth test. A small army of CBS News political editors and reporters was on-hand to check the nominees’ claims against reality.

Gypsy cops

Are there enough checks in place across the nation to keep problem cops off the streets? Known as “gypsy cops,” we found that police officers with questionable records have been able to leave one department only to be hired by another.

Retirement woes

Americans are looking for help from the next U.S. president in bolstering their financial security once they leave the workforce. We look at what’s on employees’ wish list for the next administration when it comes to patching up the nation’s creaky retirement system.

Riot economics

Although more than 700 people have been killed by police in the U.S. this year, the kind of social unrest seen in Charlotte, North Carolina, last week has been rare. Could local economics help explain why some cities are like powder kegs after police shootings, while others are less prone to explode?  

“Landfill Harmonic”

We first learned from “60 Minutes” about the impoverished children in Paraguay playing music on instruments built from bits and bobs found in a municipal landfill. The villagers used to be known as trash pickers, but we’ve caught up with them in New York, where they’re now playing to big crowds.
