1. Joe Biden:

   I think you're going to see a significant change in the politics of the country, and I think lot of it had to do with the way in which the administration has treated people, i think the nail that maybe have put in the coffin this time was the way in which the administration responded to John McCain death, and the way it came across as being so nakedly... almost un-American. It was just raw. It wasn't -- it's not who we are.

   You can only speculate as to whether The CT was one of Winstrup's next of kin, or whether someone else took the opportunity while preparing the coffin. But we hope to be able to clarify any kinship through a DNA test.

5. Spun Gold:

   Harry was born into a marriage that was falling apart, and it’s a marriage that played out on the world stage… The dirty laundry is right out there… Then at age 12, he has to walk behind his mother’s coffin in front of 2 billion people watching from around the world. He has to shake the hands of people who are weeping, who haven’t even met his mother. And yet he has to hold it together. Prince Harry (center) with his brother Prince William and father Prince Charles at Princess Diana's funeral. (Reuters) That plays forward to today in terms of why Harry wants to be so protective of Meghan. When the British press were frankly being racist about her arrival to the U.K. and into the royal family, Harry issues a statement essentially saying 'back off.' And they did back off. He couldn’t protect his mother as a 12-year-old boy, but he is determined to protect Meghan. And it comes as no surprise that he and his brother have a big distrust of the media.
