Charles Osgood introduced the stories. As summer enters its final innings, and people are leaving their summer jobs, the matter of unpaid internship is explored by Tracey Smith in the cover story. "A foot in the door?" Second, a story on suntans, "burning questions." Third, "Iron Mike" done by Bill Whittaker. (recycled story?) Fourth, Bill Geist on "Unhappy Campers." (recycled story?)

Attack in Afghanistan. Missing blimp in Ohio. Weather: stormy on east coast. [Update on missing blimp: Ohioan, 94, wakes up to blimp that landed in yard : The 128-foot-long blimp broke free of its moorings at a Columbus airport during strong winds early Sunday [14 Aug 2011], then drifted to the sky, headed eastward and landed in Lillian Bernhagen's backyard in Worthington, less than two miles from Ohio State University's Don Scott airfield.]

***In passing, Charles Osgood on the origin of the CBS Eye
***Separately, fromJudge Newman's eulogy of Judge Friedman:
Maybe the word is “urbane”. I never saw him badger a lawyer. He never took advantage of his position, looking down at counsel, who can’t answer back.
In bearing and temperament he was made to be a judge. He always listened, and I never saw him show impatience or inattention. He would draw out his colleagues, even as he had the knowledge and confidence of vast experience.
In every way, he will be missed. Dan Friedman’s life was a life of service. He served the law and the nation with a wisdom that’s rare, even among judges. It was a joy to be in his company. We remember his kindness and his smile – and his scholarship, his balance, his sensitivity.
We mourn the loss of our dear colleague, and the nation’s loss of a powerful intellect. He moves to the memory of history.
