This Morning from CBS News, May 31, 2016
Deadly deluge
Residents along the Brazos River in southeast Texas are used to flooding, but the sheer scale of the disaster currently inundating their communities is simply too much to bear for some -- and it could be about to get worse. Two more inches of rain could fall, and as one man in Ford Bend County said bluntly, it's "not going to have any place to go."
Bowing out
The Democratic primary between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders is reaching its final weeks, but as the end draws near, Sanders is only intensifying his rhetoric against the front-runner. Clinton was in a similar position herself in 2008, as Barack Obama took the lead in that race. Did Clinton handle it differently, or are there parallels in the Democrats' campaign wind-downs?
Shark attacks
Attacks on both coasts over the Memorial Day holiday weekend have raised new concerns about beach safety this summer, especially as scientists say shark populations appear to be on the rise. Could the key to protecting beach-goers be the clever applications of some of our hottest new technology?
Mountain to climb
On Memorial Day, we remember a Marine's remarkable journey -- one which nearly ended on a minefield in Afghanistan. Instead, Charlie Linville became the first U.S. veteran wounded in combat to climb to the highest point on Earth -- but it was no walk in the part, and it wasn't his first attempt that brought success.
Feeling the Beat
Tech wizards in Austin, Texas have programmed IBM's supercomputer "Watson" to create music based on different human emotions, but in the home of live music, some flesh-and-blood band members wonder if any machine can truly catch the vibe honed by human experience.
Earning power
While President Obama has already found a home for when his family no longer resides in the White House, he hasn't yet revealed his post-presidential plans. We ask some experts what he might do, and find out why it's likely he'll come out on top financially after leaving office in January.
Zen retirement
Rochelle Udell spent almost 50 years working in the hard-charging worlds of advertising and magazine publishing, so when it came time for her to retire, she knew she was going to need some help adjusting. And she found that help in meditation, which gave her "a pathway" to avert panic.
