Journal-World critic Jon Niccum finds Halle Berry led film Catwoman flashy but lacking substance. Other Kansas coverage notes include Adam Barmann favored to start at quarterback for KU in 2004, a cryptosporidium case in Lawrence, army prisoner abuse claims rising in Iraq and Afghanistan, Sprint buying naming rights to a Kansas City arena, and KU sabbaticals handled as faculty sabbaticals, not vacations.
A Republican operative voices concern that Michael Moore film Fahrenheit 9/11 leaves audiences with a negative impression of the president. As theaters nationwide show the work and ticket sales rise, GOP strategists worry about possible effects on the November vote.

The report notes the 9 11 panel urged reforms and President Bush vows to seriously weigh its findings. Coverage says the hijackers were thwarted before reaching the cockpit and highlights reactions from Lawrence residents and U S officials about intelligence and security changes.
The final report argues terrorism was not the sole national security concern for the Clinton or pre 9/11 Bush administrations. It cites failures of imagination and uncertain if Al Qaeda’s methods were ordinary or radically new. Domestic agency weaknesses, notably the FBI’s information integration, FAA gaps, and hijacking vulnerability considerations, are highlighted as areas needing reform.
Douglas County faces a pay crisis for court appointed defense lawyers as Greg Robinson seeks court order for full state payment in the Timothy Harrell murder and elder abuse case.
