A sense of things turning this week. In the economy, maybe for the better. Home prices, markets, up. In Syria, maybe for the worse. Hezbollah moving in. War spilling out. For Attorney General Eric Holder, for the hotter.  Hot seat questions on his role and leadership. In Pakistan, a U.S. drone hits high in the Taliban. In Washington, Michele Bachmann  says she won’t run again. In

Florida, new questions over the FBI killing of a young Chechen-American. And a big bid from China for America’s biggest pork producer.

Up next On Point: Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
