Week in the News

Wild day on Wall Street. The Times Square would-be bomber – nabbed. Oil on the Gulf. And devastating flooding in Tennessee. Our news roundtable goes behind the headlines.

It was a wild, wild day on Wall Street, with thunder out of debt-burdened Greece and Europe this week. The Dow was down nearly a thousands points for a few terrifying minutes. Then questions.

We saw the Grand Old Opry underwater in Nashville’s flood. The would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad was arrested on the tarmac in New York.

The U.K. faces a hung Parliament after Conservative gains. And in the Gulf of Mexico, there were hopes that a giant box may seal off some of the seafloor oil that just keeps gushing.
