One day after the second presidential debate, an examination of where each candidate stands on Syria. Then, writer and journalist Hector Tobar talks about how his white students at the University of Oregon have more in common with underserved minorities than they think. A leaked tape of Donald Trump bragging about kissing and groping women without their consent has inspired thousands of women to share their stories of sexual assault on social media. And a study from decades ago suggests that a vegan diet can help ease the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. But not many doctors talk about veganism as part of treating the disease.
