Thousands will gather Saturday on the shores of the Cuyahoga River to celebrate a transformation. Fifty years ago today, the Cuyahoga was so polluted that it caught fire, due to a combination of debris and chemicals in the water – and it had actually happened many times before. But this time, it galvanized the nation and helped launch the environmental movement which cleaned up the Cuyahoga and countless other waterways across America. New “CBS This Morning Saturday” co-host Jeff Glor reports. Source

Inside the future of competitive sailing
Boat racing is a sport that goes back thousands of years — but never before has anyone achieved the speeds, technology, and equal footing displayed by a brand new competitive series. The series is centered upon the F50 Catamaran, a state-of-the-art watercraft that combines natural elements, human skill, and cutting edge tech and data to achieve the fastest competitive sailing speeds in history. There are currently only six of the boats in existence, and each is allocated to one of the league’s national teams: Great Britain, Australia, China, Japan, France, and the USA. Jamie Wax reports.
