Good week/bad week: anti-incumbent fever, drinking in public

The World

Get your weekly fix of wit on the week’s news as we run through who had a good week and who didn’t. In partnership with our friends at The Week magazine, we look back to see why it was a good week for anti-incumbent fever in Tracy City, Tenn., but a bad week for a 20-year-old British woman who acquired quite a taste for alcohol.
