Springtime stinks and Royko’s poke at spring
The column reprint from March 25 1991 features Jats Grobnik and Royko satire on spring. They joke about muggers, cops, gawkers, and fancy banter on open-air life, then pivot to inventions, baseball, and quieter bowling lanes before noting Royko’s Saturday Gazette column.

Appeals court orders White House to hand notes to Starr
A three judge panel of the 8th U S Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the White House must provide to independent counsel Kenneth Starr notes taken by White House lawyers during Hillary Clinton questioning. The decision rejects attorney client privilege claims and overturns a Little Rock federal judge. Starr argued the lawyers were not Hillary Clinton’s attorneys and thus their notes are not privileged. The case ties to extending a Little Rock grand jury’s life amid ongoing Whitewater inquiries.
