This Morning from CBS News, June 9, 2016

"Full-scale assault"

Sen. Elizabeth Warren will slam the corrupting influence of special interests and money on the judicial system in America and cite presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump as a prime example of the problem. The Democrat from Massachusetts will also reserve some scorn for Trump's former GOP competitors.

Economy dictates

The performance of the U.S. economy is a good, if not infallible, guide in predicting presidential elections. Now that the battle lines are drawn in this year's contest, we look at why some economists are already forecasting a tight race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Recall dangers

An inspector general for the U.S. government has warned in a rare alert that the FDA's inadequate food recall procedures sometimes leaves consumers "at risk of illness or death." Only on "CBS This Morning," we speak with the investigator working on the audit.

Genetic test scam

About 10 new genetic tests enter the market every day, and with insurance reimbursements that can add up to thousands of dollars, there's a lot of incentive for people to sign up for them. But a CBS News investigation has found a troubling approach being used to attract patients in Texas.

Teens and depression

Millions of adolescents suffer from major depression at some point, and many are prescribed popular antidepressant drugs. But a new study finds that most of these treatments are no more effective than a placebo in children and teens, and some may have worrisome side effects.

Zoo safety

The killing of Harambe the gorilla is igniting debate over how the government should regulate zoos. Can the popular attractions keep animals -- and the public -- safe without cutting financial corners? For the thousands of smaller zoos around the U.S., how that question is resolved could dictate their fate.

Away from it all

A startup called Getaway is hoping to revolutionize the way we disconnect. Aimed at millennials, it's part vacation and part social experiment. We get a tour of one of the tiny houses the company built and placed in undisclosed locations in the New England wilderness.

Screen to stage

What's the secret to making a Broadway hit? First, make a movie. With the financial stakes involved in mounting a major theatrical production higher than ever, roughly a quarter of shows in New York City start out as a film or TV project. But the trend has theater vets muttering about the death of art form.
