Obama ambivalent about Afghanistan
Charles Krauthammer assesses President Obama’s Afghanistan policy as indecisive. He cites Woodward's reporting that Obama seeks an exit strategy while publicly labeling Afghanistan a vital national interest. The piece questions Obama’s leadership, party loyalty pressures, and the rationale for escalating a war viewed by critics as a mistake.

Old Hometown 22 Years Ago In 1985
A Lawrence University conference urged greater Kansas funding for technology amid concerns over brain drain. Officials awaited a long-delayed Kansas Turnpike interchange report that could shape a southwestern bypass route. Lawrence High rerported 37 suspensions after racial tensions, with 24 Black and 13 White students barred for at least five days. Federal grant funds, totaling 8832 dollars, aided riot-control gear for police. The 1910 item notes Woodlands Park attendance at the Douglas County fair and plans for a Student Union building on the hill modeled after Ohio State, with rooms for clubs, a restaurant, and guest suites.
