Kansas prairie near Strong City edges toward federal protection
After years of negotiation a tallgrass prairie preserve moves closer to reality in Kansas as the Senate unanimously approves a bill allowing the National Park Service to acquire up to 180 acres of the Bar Ranch near Strong City. The National Park Trust would retain ownership of the rest with a local advisory board and cooperative agreements for trails and recreation. Senator Nancy Kassebaum led the effort with broad support from Kansas lawmakers though some figures abstained or offered limited support.

A reflective essay examines whether love still holds power in contemporary life. The author contrasts Al Green era romance with current cynicism, notes rising divorce and delayed marriages, and considers how uncertainty shapes promises of eternity. He recalls childhood loves, quotes Diana Ross, and observes a younger generation seemingly losing faith in lasting affection.
