MPR News Reflections and observations on the news
Five by 8
A farewell to Jaime Escalante, the cost of Minnesota’s chronic drunks, why haven’t U.S. rail systems been attacked, where are all the used cars, and a welcome home in St. Cloud.

It’s a buyer’s market for overqualified job-seekers, inhaling coffee, was the U.S. economy ever 100 percent private, how to run a car company into the ground and the flame-throwing scooter.
Does Alzheimer’s lower property values, the bogus EnergyStar label, do nannies make men adulterers, the Twins’ Christmas Story, and the worst that could happen to Johnny Maestro.
Distractions or disturbances, the constitutional health care question, the dud flood, a nickname for Target Field, and the Wilhelm Scream rides again.
