FBC–MINNESOTA-PLAYING IT KOI
DESCRIPTION: MINNEAPOLIS — Koi Perich didn’t give his home-state Gophers much attention growing up. He was fixated on the NFL and the Vikings instead. But three years of college is the minimum for going pro, so the sophomore safety is embracing his time with Minnesota so much he might well spend more time on the field than anyone else in the country. He’ll returns punts and kickoffs and take turns at wide receiver, too, as the Gophers aim for their own version of Travis Hunter, whose two-way skill for Colorado made him the second overall pick in the draft this year. By Dave Campbell. 600 words, photos.

US–RARE EARTHS
DESCRIPTION: Domestic production of the strong magnets needed in electric vehicles, robots, jet fighters and other high-tech products is expected to expand rapidly in the coming years, as the Trump administration is ramping up efforts to rebuild the U.S. critical mineral industry to eventually break the chokehold Beijing has over its global supply chain. Hundreds of millions in federal funds are flowing to U.S. mining, processing and manufacturing companies, and the administration has made a bold move of agreeing to a price floor in one case the industry hopes will be replicated. It has launched a national security investigation into foreign-made critical mineral products, and Congress has approved billions of dollars towards the goal of achieving independence from China.
