Deadly Dose

First-time parents Richard and Kathleen Shinn called their daughter, Alyssa, a "miracle baby." Born premature, she was on the road to recovery in the neonatal intensive care unit in a Las Vegas hospital, until a series of errors by the pharmacists and technicians on duty led to an overdose of the supplement zinc, resulting in her death. Could the mistake have been prevented? ABC's Chris Bury reports from Las Vegas. Read more HERE and watch today's webcast HERE.

'Kid Delicious'

Traveling across the country, pool hustler Danny Basovich made hundreds of thousands of dollars playing the game. As word of his skill with the pool cue spread, however, the 29-year-old New Jersey native's hustling days were over. Could this pool king -- dubbed "Kid Delicious" by opponents -- make it on the international professional circuit? ABC's Bill Weir reports from Brooklyn, New York.

'Words Matter'

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama was on the defensive this weekend after not attributing language borrowed from a 2006 speech given by his friend, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. But Obama certainly isn't the first politician accused of lifting language. Just how prevalent is plagiarism on the campaign trail? ABC's Jake Tapper has the latest installment of the "Nightline" series, "Trail Mix."

We hope you'll join us.
