Nursing shortage in Kansas warrants applause and action
Editorial notes Kansas faces a looming nurse deficit with 11 350 more RNs needed by 2010 while only 1 761 grads last year. It cites a 10 year 30 million state effort at boosting nursing education, adding faculty, scholarships, and admissions, yet warns that demand will outpace supply without more steps to retain and train nurses amid aging baby boomers.

Reforming War Powers Act A Bipartisan Venture
James A Baker III and Warren Christopher, former secretaries of state, co chair a National War Powers Commission to craft a replacement for the 1973 act. They propose The War Powers Consultation Act requiring presidential consultation and a joint congressional committee, with a 30 day up or down vote and potential funding cutoffs, aiming to preserve constitutional balance amid distrust. The plan seeks bipartisan progress though real trust remains elusive.
