Kansas looks ahead after completing 1989 highway program
Kansas officials hailed the final bids of the 1989 highway program, saying the $3.24 billion package is effectively completed. About half of major projects remain under construction while funding from bonds and taxes will likely flow into future road work. House Speaker Shallenburger opposed a new program and tax increases, even as taxpayers favor well maintained, convenient roads as a basic state function.

Clinton plays dangerous bipartisan game with Helms
Washington columnist Jim Hoagland argues President Clinton seeks broad support on foreign policy but makes untenable deals with Sen. Jesse Helms that empower the Republican hard line. The Senate's 90 5 vote on a UN financing bill draws opposition from Sen. Lugar while Sen. Biden backs the measure amid administration pressure. The piece frames Helms as blocking State Department funding and tying UN funding to foreign aid, risking U.S. leadership and potential exit from the UN.

America's health care nightmare analysis from NewsDay
Columnist Kober Reno argues the Clinton plan failed yet the health care system has shifted toward market driven practices. He notes managed care, insurer influence on medical decisions, rising advertising, fraud controls, and calls for scrutiny of profit motives in medicine. The piece contrasts ideal medical ethics with political and market forces shaping care. The Kansas University Music and Art Camp item appears as a stray note at the end.
