Flags in Boston are at half staff today to honor the death of former Mayor Tom Menino.

Also, with Election Day just a few days away, the candidates for Massachusetts governor are making their final pitch to voters and the talk has been about taxes, ethics and a fishy tale of tears.

Plus, back home in Maine after treating Ebola patients in West Africa, nurse Kaci Hickox defies a quarantine.

WBUR's Sacha Pfeiffer and Anthony Brooks speak with Radio Boston's week-in-review panel.
