Promising seven story mixed use project eyed for downtown Lawrence
An investment group led by Doug Compton proposed a $9.5 million seven story building at Ninth and New Hampshire in downtown Lawrence. The plan includes 55 apartments on the top floors, office space on the second to fifth floors, and ground floor retail possibly housing a fitness club and restaurant. The project would rely on the adjacent city parking garage, raising questions about tenant parking and permits. If built, it could add about 50 office workers and 55 residents, boosting downtown retail and services. The plan awaits final city review and bids, with parking impact and bond repayment considerations under scrutiny.

Obama policy critique: nuclear posture and deterrence challenged
Charles Krauthammer argues the Obama administration’s Nuclear Posture Review is strategically loopy and morally bizarre, restricting nuclear retaliation against NPT compliant attackers. He warns the shift could erode U S deterrence, provoke proliferation, and leave smaller states to seek their own WMDs while insisting past arms reductions failed to curb North Korea and Iran. He concludes the American deterrent remains essential to global stability.

He recalls early jobs washing pots and pans, manuring fields, and a radio career, arguing meaningful employment grounds identity and worth. He condemns performative jubilation and praises practical labor as society’s backbone.

Kansas House Fails to Overturn Governor on Death Penalty
The Kansas House voted 78 to 47 against overturning Gov. Carlin's veto on the death penalty, needing 84 votes. A crowd of about 4,000 gathered at a Kansas University student rally addressing a two professor promotion freeze tied to local demonstrations. The 1910 Lawrence Daily World notes Chancellor Strong opposes moving KU Missouri games to Kansas City and opposes Thanksgiving or season-end scheduling. Cattle tested for tuberculosis on local farms all passed, attributed to openness and grazing.
