Oct. 1 should have been a cool and crisp Sunday in the Twin Cities, the kind in which a temperature reading around the daily average high of 56.7 degrees would have been perfect for finding the right pumpkin to carve or getting lost in a corn maze. Instead, the region sweltered in summerlike temperatures that reached a meteorological record for October of 92 degrees. Only a week later, there is frost in the region’s forecast for Saturday. These contrasts won’t be found just in Minnesota. A surge of cold air late this week and into the weekend will have an…

The answer could come down to several factors. The US already boasts a wealth of homegrown talent, so why would…

For decades, the global economy had been moving toward greater integration, with goods flowing more freely between the United States and its trading partners. Lower-wage production overseas allowed Americans to enjoy inexpensive goods and kept inflation low,…
