(CBS News) NEW YORK - Presidential debates are run by a commission that operates independently of the political parties.
The campaigns have no say in the choice of the moderator and at every debate there's no telling what might happen -- any mistake or zinger could be a game changer in the election. Just look at some memorable moments in past elections.

The first lesson: The debates would not just be about what you said, but how you looked when you said it.
And mistakes could have huge consequences. In 1976, at the height of the Cold War, President Gerald Ford mysteriously declared, "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe."
He lost to Jimmy Carter. But in1984, another incumbent, Ronald Reagan, used the debates to defuse criticism of his advancing age.
"You are already the oldest president in history," the questioner asked. He was 73 at the time.
"I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience," Reagan said.

Other lessons: It may be best not to start your opening statement this way:
"Who am I? Why am I here?"
That's what Admiral William Stockdale, Ross Perot's running mate, said in 1992.
And don't look like you have someplace better to be -- as President George H.W. Bush did that same year, when he checked his watch during a question.
Don't crowd your opponent. Vice President Al Gore came uncomfortably close to George W. Bush in 2000.
Finally, be careful who you compare yourself to.
"I have as much experience in Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency," Dan Quayle said as a vice presidential candidate in 1988 debate against Lloyd Bentsen.
"I knew Jack Kennedy," Bentsen famously said. "Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."
In this era of scripted and stage-managed candidates, the debates offer something increasingly dangerous -- the chance of a spontaneous moment.
Recommend Debates over the years: Gaffes and lessons learned - CBS News Articles Question by Ryuk: How do I switch to the updated Yahoo Mail from Classic (Not the "All new" beta mail)? Basically the one that's in between. I switched to Classic for something and now can't figure out how to go back but I want to go to the version BEFORE they introduced the "All new" beta version that's out now. I don't want to use Classic and I don't want to use the new beta mail. The only link I see is "Newest version of Y! Mail" which is where the link use to be but now it's that one... Best answer for How do I switch to the updated Yahoo Mail from Classic (Not the "All new" beta mail)?:
Answer by Lyn G
It is easily changed. If you have the new version of Yahoo Mail, click on the 'options' link at top right of mail screen. In that menu, you will see "Switch to Yahoo! Mail Classic" link, click on it and you will be changed back to it. If you have Yahoo classic, click on the 'All new mail' link at top left of mail screen.
