POL-Election-Voting (will update)
A day before Tuesday's election, millions of people in key states have already cast absentee or early ballots despite long lines, legal disputes over poll procedures and damage inflicted by Superstorm Sandy. But complications have emerged.
US-Tropical-Weather-Sandy (will update)
One week after Superstorm Sandy beat up the Northeast, tearing apart homes and lives in New Jersey, New York and other areas, there's another worry on the horizon: A nor'easter is coming. Rain will start to move in early Wednesday morning and will gradually become heavier, according to CNN meteorologists. As the day goes on, the weather will get worse with temperatures hovering in the 40s -- bad news for about 1.2 million people who are still without power in the area.
New-York-Sandy-Crime
Over the past week, New York City police have been plenty busy helping those in the five boroughs deal with the aftermath of devastating floods, major wind damage and widespread power outages. But they might be able to thank Superstorm Sandy for one thing: a drop in crime.
New-York-Sandy-Photos
The storm that swept last week across the Northeast left indelible memories for many, but also erased some. Limor Garfinkle, whose Staten Island apartment is littered with scraps of paper that represent some of the most important memories of a woman she barely knows, is trying to salvage at least a few of them.
POL-Inside-the-polls
You want close? Seven of the eight national polls released since Sunday indicate the race for the White House is in a dead heat, like most have shown for weeks.
Afghanistan-Bales-Hearing (will update)

Myanmar-Violence
The aid organization Doctors Without Borders has warned that its workers on the ground in western Myanmar are finding it harder and harder to treat victims of recent violence that has inflamed tensions between Buddhist and Muslim communities in the region.
China-Leadership-Change-Grant
Xi Jinping is a mystery. So much so that the presumed leader-in-waiting of the world's most populous nation could vanish for more than a week without any explanation being given. In September this year, Xi disappeared. It sparked a flurry of rumors: he'd had a heart attack, suffered a stroke, was injured swimming, and had even gone on strike. Xi eventually re-appeared and normal transmission was resumed. But should we be so surprised? Barely an analyst I've spoken to can say they really know him, or what type of leader he would be.

Four years ago this village was the center of "Obama-mania."
