Every week, one Marketplace staff member offers their favorite stories from the past week. Here are some of the stories that caught my attention this past week.

• Our interviews with Moore residents ran the gamut from tears to pragmatism to…um…dressing up as a Victorian gunfighter.

• Delta’s chief executive officer, Richard Anderson, discusses the industry, mergers, passenger fees and why Delta thinks it’s about to have its most profitable year ever.

• Stacey Vanek Smith had a lovely bit of writing around a smart conceit on tax havens and Manhattan, carried just far enough and no further.

• Seven Tips on handling a debt collector: Intriguing non-narrated piece produced by Lindsay Thomas for Money last week.

• Noel King’s story on young athletes had fresh insight, great tape, smartly-structured. Yet another knock-out piece from Noel!

• I also recommend you listen to David Weinberg on the dark side of QE and Sally Herships on what Target is really up to, flogging wedding dresses for $70.
