25 Years On KU Professor Recalls Peace Talk Role
Kansas University professor David Lambertson recalls the 25 year old peace agreement between the United States and North Vietnam. He notes the accord failed to enforce the South Vietnamese independence and ended U S involvement by 1975 as North Vietnam overran the south. Lambertson reflects on limited postwar work and predicts Vietnam may face political change as open markets test its government.

United Way loan extended by Douglas County Commissioners
Douglas County Commission granted a one year extension on a 264000 loan to United Way of Douglas County for renovations at the old Valley View Care Home. The $2200 monthly payments were delayed as United Way sought reduced payments or a later start date. The project, begun February 1997, involved remodeling a 37 year old building housing 20 agencies with 1200 square feet of vacant space.
