What the Friday: A racist, a plagiarist and an egotist

Today on What the Friday we review a week in which news was made by a racist, a plagiarist and an egotist -- the fictional Atticus Finch (Say it ain't so!), troubled Arizona State University history professor Matthew Whitaker and dazed and confused state schools Superintendent Diane Douglas.

And we end with a quote of the week from an astrophysicist. All this from a couple of journalists who've been called communists, socialists, anarchists and, well, a lot worse.
