In search of the new normal, the land of racist tweets, the cult of the military personality, what the election meant, and the amazing shrinking Thanksgiving.
The art of competitive sitting, the mayor of America, Gov. Pawlenty and his new gig, the people who work to the end, and one of the best marketing campaigns takes flight.
