Oil politics and the SPR move in Clinton Gore era
Washington columnist Jim Hoagland argues Clinton used a phased release of 30 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to aid Gore’s campaign and deter OPEC. He notes prior Bush actions in 1992 linked to electoral stakes, calls the move a market-psychology intervention that buys time and acknowledges limits on long term energy policy.

Kansas River bridge permit approved for downtown Lawrence
Final Coast Guard approval clears the way for a new Lawrence bridge over the Kansas River in downtown. Work could start this year to replace the aging ald bridge amid ongoing talks and past lobbying by local officials and Congress. Six Lawrence High students reached the National Merit semifinals: John Maloney, Carol Rose, Robert Shenk, Jeffrey Shook, Susan Smith, and James Wortham. A 1900 World note recalls complaints about no fire in cold days and a burned out furnace at the high school, with the board of education said to be aware months earlier.
