MPR News Reflections and observations on the news
By Eric Ringham
Female imams in China; from a cell phone to a Porsche for free; an oxygen tank-burdened criminal’s semi-romantic career; Haiti gets a break, finally; Facebook reaches half-a-billion
An Amish police chase; more news from the Gulf oil spill; Larry King stoops to another Lohan level; marijuana is falling from the sky; Apple profits hit record highs
Needing to relax amid a chaotic world: Middle East conferences, mud pit bathing in Korea, credit card bills, and stealing chicken nuggets.
LeBron James choses the Miami Heat; Russian spies are going home in exchange for Westerners; and Yoda on TomTom.
Larry King announces his retirement, and two robbers are caught on camera making rookie robber mistakes; oh, and a giant augmented reality model awes crowds at Times Square by taking their picture.
The Five by 8 for June 29, including a triple lightening strike, Russian spies in the U.S., local Minneapolis hip-hop stars, and bike polo.
