Week In The News: Default, Defiance And The Nobel Prize (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/10/11/week-news-oct-11

Maybe a breakthrough this week, maybe not, on shutdown pain, default fever and Washington’s wild dance on the razor’s edge.  This country has seen politics of a strange order.  Now the talk is of a six-week time-out to negotiate.  But it’s still not clear exactly how and if that will happen.  Republicans, looking at devastating public opinion polls on their role.  The White House, unmoved and dangerously close to economic crisis.  Now we’ll see.  We’ve got Nobel prizes, US terror raids, Janet Yellen – first woman to helm the Fed.  Up next On Point:  our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
– Tom Ashbrook
