Little guy is big fan of Jim Lehrer Jim Lehrer met a diehard fan Sunday: Henry Schally, 5. The Como Park kindergartner is no newcomer to PBS' "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer." He got hooked on the theme song while in a highchair.
PBS arranged a family visit to Lehrer at the Xcel, where the 74-year-old anchor got down on one knee to show off his "eyebrow dance," a trick his grandfather told him to perform on his first day of school.
Henry didn't say much during the short visit -- but what do you expect when a kid meets his idol?

Whatever it was, it sure was loud Authorities gave two explanations for an explosion near the State Capitol Sunday: It was a test, or it was an accident.
Minnesota State Patrol spokesman Mark Peterson said a "response team" set off a "flash bang grenade" in the parking ramp at the State Office Building about noon. When asked why such testing was occurring, Peterson said, "I don't have that information for you." When asked if tests would occur regularly this week, he said, "Haven't got that for you right now."
St. Paul police spokesman Peter Panos said a State Patrol employee accidentally dropped a flash bang grenade. "All it does is make a big noise," he said.
