Week In The News: Midterms, Ebola And Mayor Tom Menino (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

The nurse who would not stay quarantined, out front this week. And lots of questions about the handling and politics and coverage of Ebola. Ebola mania. Another quarter of strong US economic growth – also political as midterms loom. The president on a tight campaign trail, and simultaneously a big target of Republican complaint. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook comes out as gay and proud. A White House official calls Israel’s Netanyahu chicken “stuff”. A space launch explodes. So does Hawaiian lava. This hour On Point: Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
