'The News from Lake Wobegon'

New strains of sweet corn. Sweet Darling & Illini Supersweet are sensuous. Half of the class of 1990 will go to The City to work. Marching on stage in reverse order of scholastic excellence. The graduation message is, "Pack up your stuff and get out." Election battle between Eloise Krebsbach and Earl Magandanz. Vicious rumors. Eloise will take a drug test if Earl will take an IQ test. NBF, Mr. Nordberg, dies leaving a house full of junk. His brother can't bear to sort it so he calls the trash truck to haul it all to the dump. Everybody from LW sorted through the trash and every so often something rises to the surface.


Other mentions/discussions during the show

The crack NYC No. 3 Express sits waiting while the local trains rush by. Country music belongs to NYC because it's such a lousy place to live. Throwing a book critic, a golden arch sculptor, &a line crasher over a cliff. The Hostile Heart. How GK got his own room. The Story of Gloria: Gloria is given her own book store. Two new "Happy Birthday" songs. The History of Evil: The message of the prodigal son.
