This Morning from CBS News, Oct. 5, 2016
Gentlemen, please
The Vice Presidential debate between Sen. Tim Kaine and Gov. Mike Pence was marked by interruptions. In fact, there were so many interruptions -- on both sides -- that CBSN’s Elaine Quijano, the debate’s moderator, was forced to intervene on a number of occasions. So who interrupted their sparring partner more, and what did it mean for the actual debate?
“Mission Accomplished” moment
The Republican National Committee (RNC) appeared to accidentally declare on its website Tuesday night that Mike Pence was the winner of the vice presidential debate, about two hours before the face-off was even slated to begin in Farmville, Va.

Paralyzing illness
Health officials are searching for the cause of a polio-like illness that has struck in 24 states so far this year. Most of the victims are children. Though still rare, the illness, acute flaccid myelitis, appears to be on the rise and can lead to paralysis. Here’s what parents need to know to help reduce the risk.
How to be “brilliant”
Sure, you may not have a billion-dollar business loss to wipe out two decades of income taxes, but you can use some of the same tax provisions Trump did come April 15. All you have to be is an ordinary investor with $3,000 in losses from stock sales -- or a number of other options. Here’s how to claim what’s rightfully yours.
Arm transplant
More than 1,600 United States service members have lost limbs in the Middle East and Afghanistan. We’ve got an extraordinary story of hope about one former Marine sergeant who lost all four limbs in combat. Thanks to the arms of a stranger, many everyday tasks are again within reach.
