An editorial reflects on school funding and home support after a Cedar Rapids teacher recounts ninth graders facing personal challenges. It cites a Doonesbury strip and notes parents often underestimate home influence while educators warn that even the best teachers cannot do it alone.

The Baltimore Sun weighs Jack Kemp’s return to prominence in the Bush administration after the Los Angeles riots, arguing his conservative roots now pair with a moderating appeal. It maps Kemp as a potential 1996 contender alongside Quayle Gramm Buchanan and Wilson, noting Perot’s possible disruption and Kemp’s urban advocacy.

It cites Oregon's Urban Growth Boundary approach, notes exceptions risk, and asserts zoning limits land value while respecting constitutional rights and supporting ordered urban growth.

It recommends bypassing local hearings and directing farmland owners to the Iowa Board of Agricultural Zoning, advocating a comprehensive state plan to preserve farmland while guiding urban growth.
The measure promised federal funds for congressional campaigns but delayed actual funding and barred general increases.
