We also connect with a longtime rights activist in Kabul who tells us that despite a horrifying new decree, there's not much else the Taliban can take away from women in Afghanistan.


An Ontario library dealing with open drug use and near-daily overdoses tries a last-ditch effort to keep from closing its doors completely. 


At a funeral in Chicago, three former presidents pay tribute to the late civil rights pioneer Jesse Jackson. 


Researchers turn to the study of trees to discover one of the few mysteries left about what makes the world famous Stradivarius violins the best of the best. 


An opera singer in Florida shifts gears when the gigs dry up...using his prodigious pipes to sell used vehicles.
