Traffic patterns warn of worsening Turnpike congestion
The Kansas Turnpike Authority warns that one lane in each direction at several points near I-435 and between Lawrence and Topeka could trigger major delays today. Big events include Kansas State and Iowa football in Kansas City, Yallapalooza 2000 at Bonner Springs, and Truck Stock 2000 in Topeka, with growth along the corridor and new highway openings likely intensifying traffic in the future. Officials urge early travel or staying home, and seek long term transit solutions to keep the Topeka to Kansas City corridor moving.

Gore Uses Anger Politics To Rally Democratic Base
Gore gains bounce after the Democratic Convention by portraying himself as a fighter for the little guy against big oil HMOs and pharmaceuticals. He targets disaffected voters across income groups, arguing for a Patients' Bill of Rights and prescription drug coverage for seniors, while staying within centerist DLC lines to avoid alienating swing voters.
