The Week in Review
The Week In Review With Joel Weisman
On tonight's edition of The Week in Review with Joel Weisman: The Blagojevich jury has agreed on only two of 24 counts, is deadlocked on 11 counts, and the jurors reveal they have not even discussed the 11 counts of wire fraud. We remember political powerhouse Dan Rostenkowski, who succumbed to lung cancer this week. Amid deadly violence, Chicago's year-round schools begin. Meanwhile, the new federal jobs bill heads off some teacher layoffs here. Cook County loses nearly $3 million for job-training by failing to spend the federal funds. Johnson Publishing hires a new CEO--controversial former White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers. And in sports, the new Bears offense is put to the test in their first pre-season game against the Chargers, while the White Sox and Twins wage a bruising battle for first place.
