Shameful report on Kansas sexual predator program
The 1994 Kansas law creates involuntary commitment for violent sexual offenders after prison. An audit shows only three releases in 20 years, 27 deaths in custody, 258 inmates, and rising costs toward 500 patients and up to 34 million by 2025. Therapy and rehabilitation are inadequate or absent, prompting moral and legal questions about confinement and potential releases.

Lusitania relic owner views ship as tragedy relic
George Will notes Gregg Bemis owns a 787 foot Lusitania wreck off Ireland. The submarine torpedoed liner carried munitions from neutral America to wartime Britain and sank in 1915. The piece discusses perceptions that the sinking altered history and Churchill's wartime hopes, with references to U S casualties and implications for America’s entry into WWI.
