MALARKEY

Beneath all those smiles at Thursday night’s debate, Vice President Biden was playing old-school Irish-American politics when he talked about class, writes Niall Ferguson in Newsweek.

Critical

A team of neurological specialists currently treating wounded Pakistani teen activist Malala Yousafzai say that her condition is stable, but "the next 36 to 48 hours are important." Yousafzai, who was shot in the neck for defending girls' right to attend school, is currently on a ventilator at a hospital in Rawalpindi. Although medical tests on the 14-year-old have gone well, she remains in critical condition. Afghan schools began Saturday with a special day of prayer for Yousafzai—two days after armed men attacked a girls’ school in the Bamyan province in central Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Pakistani officials have arrested over 300 people in connection to Yousafzai’s shooting, but only have 35 of them in custody.

TRAGEDY

The weeklong search for 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway ends with a grisly find in a park a few miles from the fifth-grader’s home. The Daily Beast’s Christine Pelisek reports.

SCARY

The drug-mixing firm linked to the nationwide fungal meningitis outbreak reportedly broke several state regulations governing the distribution of medication, according to emails revealed to Reuters on Saturday. The New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts allegedly sold drugs to physicians without requiring patient names or proof of prescription in addition to soliciting bulk orders of their products. The contanimated medication associated with the outbreak is a steroid from the company, which has put as many as 14,000 people at risk.

STRIKING BACK

After Biden said that “we weren’t told” Americans requested extra security for the anniversary of September 11th at the debate, the GOP campaign latched on to the mishandling of the Libya attack to push against their opponents. Congressional testimony shows the administration turned down the request for more security, and the Romney campaign said Friday that Biden was trying “to mislead the American public” about that fact at the vice presidential debate. The White House shot back that Biden’s statements referred to himself, the president, and other top administration members, since diplomatic security requests are handled by the State Department.
