'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Kids throwing up on Thanksgiving; Senator Kay Torvaltson's girlfriend coming to visit; Ella gets jealous. / GK has been away from LW for so long that he wonders if MN is real. Senator K. Thorvaldson is bringing his mysterious lady friend, Laura for a visit. He is so much in love that he is afraid that she will find out things about him that will make her love him less. His relatives are all furious eaters. His brother, Knute, will tell his three jokes. Knute's wife, Birdie tells about all kinds of awful things. Laura will meet them all. He goes to the Side Track and puts in his quarter and plays "Falling In Love With You." Lyle hasn't smoked for eight months. Now oxygen is getting into his brain and he realizes that he really likes teaching biology and maybe he and Janis ought to have one more baby. Ella Anderson was doing a jig saw puzzle. Henry is the oldest man in LW. She remember seeing Henry kissing a woman named Doris 60 years ago. She's still jealous after 60 years. GK's his new love. He reached for the bible and the Songs of Solomon.
