City codes and MagnaGro enforcement questioned after fatal tank incident
An editorial argues lax enforcement of Lawrence city codes allowed MagnaGro to operate without proper water and sewer service from 2007, despite EPA fines and prior safety concerns. It notes the 2007 disconnection, limited action, and a deadly April tank incident, urging clearer guidelines or deadlines to improve compliance and prevent future tragedies.

Israel's Blockade Defense and Global Doubt
Charles Krauthammer argues that Israel uses blockade as a legitimate defense amid international pressure to delegitimize its security measures. He compares past blockades to deter arms and stresses Hamas weaponization and Gaza’s humanitarian claims as political ploys to end inspections.

From Gulf Disaster to Bach and Blues of Washington
Garrison Keillor laments the BP Gulf spill and political inertia from 37 000 foot vantage points. He rails against corporate misconduct and regulatory failure while urging reflection, music, and slower anticipation of change. He notes MMS oversight shifts and the Tea Party as distractions before praising human creativity like Bach and the St Matthew Passion.

Old Home Town Year Ago in 1985
Southwestern Bell began adding 2.4 million dollars in new equipment to the local network with a pair gain system allowing ten copper wire pairs to serve up to 96 customers and enabling direct computer data transmission without modems. Kansas Power and Light and its Gas Service unit renamed to KPL Gas Service while Lawrence sees no service changes. Paul Tuley, a mail carrier south of Lawrence, saw his 1968 Dodge Dart stall in a deep Brown's Grove Yankee Tank flood but all mail remained legible and checks usable.
