‘Spellbound' Review: A Nation of Strong Personality
In his epistles to early Christian communities, St. Paul referred to charisma (from the Greek charis, 'grace') as a gift of divine favor. That sense persisted until the early 20th century, when the German sociologist Max Weber applied the term to modern politics. In a 1919 lecture, 'Politics as a Vocation,' Weber divided authority into three types. Traditional authority, he argued, is the hereditary rule of kings and fathers, sustained by appeals to precedent. Legal authority installs a new set of sources and precedents, the law and reason, and maintains power through rules and institutions. Charismatic authority is inspiring and heroic, and inheres in a single individual. It is multivalent, both the revolutionary disrupter and the buttress of power.

Minnesota Yacht Club festival expected to bring 35,000 attendees to St. Paul this weekend
A summer music festival that drew thousands to the riverfront last year is about to rock Minnesota's capital city again. The three-day Minnesota Yacht Club festival takes center stage in downtown St. Paul on Friday. This summer's headliners include Green Day and Hozier. "Last year they were like locusts... they came in and ate us and drank us out of everything," said Julia Flaherty, who co-owns Joseph's Grill, which is just walking distance from Harriet Island Regional Park. "We look forward to this all year long, we plan for it." Thirty-five thousand people are expected to descend upon St. Paul. "Last year, we saw people from out of town. California, Canada. The Canadians were really fun," said Flaherty. According to St. Paul police, around 400 officers will work the event over three days. Some are designated as traffic enforcement, while others will be assigned to the grounds, according to Senior Commander Jesse Mollner. Tickers are still available online and police say that if you plan on coming, just leave your valuables at home. They also recommend paying attention to the festival's bag policy. A combination of road closures and Green Line light rail maintenance is impacting transit to the festival. For information on how to get to the festival, click here.

Video shows gunman injuring 2 in St. Paul cafe before taking own life in police shootout
New surveillance video shows the moment a gunman involved in a shooting spree last week in St. Paul fired into a restaurant, injuring two people. Police say 32-year-old Tevin Bellaphant died by suicide on Friday after shooting at police officers several times inside an Aldi grocery store and a nearby Cub Foods off Clarence Street on the city's east side. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension now says a man and a woman were hurt amid the spree inside neighboring Destiny Café 2, correcting the original police report that stated the victims were two women. The bureau says officers were first dispatched on Friday after Bellaphant took a 4-year-old child from a relative's home without permission. Two St. Paul police officers found Bellaphant inside a nearby Aldi store. The BCA says they tried talking to Bellaphant but he pushed an officer and ran off, leaving the child behind. After falling near the front of the Aldi, officers say he pulled out a handgun and fired at them. The officers shot back as he fled towards the cafe. Surveillance footage shows a man and a woman frantically running inside the cafe as Bellaphant approaches. The woman is seen trying to keep the door closed as Bellaphant gets his arm inside the door, shooting her and the man, before fleeing. Cafe manager Eddie Thao says the woman was shot in the upper leg and the man was struck in the lower leg. He says it was a truly scary scene, with 40 to 50 people packed into the restaurant. "I was so shocked when he shot the two bullets at first, it was three total … we didn't even know how to react," Thao said. "It was in less than seconds, and then we ducked our heads … I'm so glad our customers, they weren't hurt." Thao says the man and woman were walking their dog and were likely just in the wrong place at the wrong time. On Wednesday, the bureau released the names of the three law enforcement members who exchanged gunfire with Bellaphant: officers Christopher Leon and Melissa Leistikow, and Sgt. Megan Kosloske. All three are on standard administrative leave.
