A royal baby and Anthony Weiner’s shamlessness ate up the air time this week. But there was much more.  Egypt, moving dangerously again.  Congress, in a narrow, hard fought vote to sustain NSA surveillance.  A huge, top hedge fund indicted on insider trading.  A stopgap vote on student loans.  Attorney General Eric Holder moves to keep a grip on Texas voting.  A train goes fatally off the rails in Spain.  The pope goes to Brazil. And the president makes his case, again, for the middle class in U.S. economy.
This hour, On Point: Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
