Wild year in Lawrence as 1998 brings highs and lows
The Lawrence area faced a rollercoaster 1998 with political debates and weather scares, including Bob Dole's Kansas tour and questions over the Lewinsky scandal. Wilt Chamberlain returned to KU, the Chiefs lost to Denver in the playoffs, and local projects moved forward from a 1860s home relocation to new fire, library, and skate facilities.
