So what have other October surprises looked like? What kind of scandal does it take to make an election go topsy-turvy? Well, Princeton historian Julian Zelizer has the lore, and he spoke with Lisa Mullins.

Take us to October of 1964 and an arrest that jarred the Democratic Party.

Yeah, there's a great new book about this by Timothy Stewart Winter.

The 22-year-old is from Stoughton, Mass, and he'll compete with the best in the world at the week-long Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in the Netherlands.

WBUR's Lisa Mullins spoke to Richard recently about what this competition means to him.

For me, everything.

When I say everything, it's the competition that decides whether all the work I put in my whole life has finally gotten me to the highest level.

And at that point, There's really no recourse to address this because it's already been established.

That's John Gelsich, vice chair of the Westboro Planning Board, speaking to WBUR's Lisa Mullins about Amazon's planned drone launch from Westboro, Massachusetts.

It's going to be a stormy weekend with heavy rains.

All the more reason for us to bring you a little joy before we go.
