"Not My Job"
Wall Street Journal writer and All Things Considered sports commentator Stefan Fatsis ponders ingenues in trouble in "You're the Dewy Young Thing Having
a Career Crisis."

President Clinton offends the Irish, actors take umbrage, and shady horticulturalists descend on English glens.

Three more bon mots from the week's news: a virtual candidate, the Knievel legend, and a farewell to the man who took magic into the 1970s.
"Listener Bluff"
In Honor of ... Whom?
"Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank"
The rest of the week's news that we can fit. Each panelist has one minute to fill in as many blanks as possible.
