Robertson accuses Robertson of dodging Korea duty suit drops
Former Rep. Paul N. McCloskey Jr. says Pat Robertson is chickening out of a libel trial by dropping the case. Robertson seeks to dismiss a $35 million suit over a 1986 letter accusing him of using his father’s influence to avoid combat. The dispute centers on testimony, a potential trial, and whose truth will be told in court.

Lawrence honors eight new downtown sculptures
At the Tuesday Lawrence City Commission meeting Barry Newton of the Lawrence Arts Commission announced eight new stone metal and wood pieces to be placed along Massachusetts Street as part of the second annual downtown sculpture project. A jury from the arts commission Kansas Sculptors Assn. and Downtown Lawrence Assn. selected the eight from 20 entries across three states. The batch will be larger and more substantial than the 12 already standing from city hall to the Douglas County Courthouse. Some earlier pieces including Mike Elwell’s Leadership bronze near the courthouse will remain, and a loan program to city parks may be added. Commissioners endorsed continuing the project and discussed buying sculptures for public domain.

Mayor Ed Koch criticized floor question limits but supported Bennett and Customs chief von Raab on tougher drug control and potential military options.
