Washington Post columnist Jim Hoagland argues Saddam Hussein remains a dangerous, legitimate global actor whose persistence undermines U S leadership. He criticizes Clinton advisers for treating the regime as a tolerable evil and calls for a bold international strategy to delegitimize Saddam, support an exile government, and target the Republican Guard with decisive military force.

Kansas University Chancellor Raymond Nichols said students likely favor McGovern over Nixon, suggesting McGovern could benefit. Douglas County Clerk Delbert Mathia estimated about 33,500 eligible voters with turnout possibly above 80 percent amid the Nixon McGovern contest. Local soil expert Melyon Wertzberger and his son John, KU football players, were pictured. John later played center and linebacker while recalling KU vs K State history from 1931 to 1957.
