A wake up call for motorists this week as gas prices went tripping over four dollars a gallon. For air traffic controllers, as the axe came down after so much snoozing in the control tower.

And a wake-up for the country, as Republicans and Democrats went after the deficit. Different paths from President Obama and Republican Paul Ryan and a debate that will rage through 2012.

We’ve got a mother drowning herself and her kids in the Hudson. Europeans calling for more American fighters over Libya. A Chernobyl-scale rating in Japan.

This hour On Point, our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
