Reagan Apology Falls Short on Iran Contra Questions
Reagan called the Iran Contra policy a mistake and said he was focused on hostages, but his address offered little on key questions. He did not condemn the destruction or smuggling of documents, nor clarify whether he would have approved the diversion if told. Poindexter testified Reagan might have approved, yet he was not informed to preserve deniability.

Bus plans rival D Day strategies
Planners of the Normandy invasion had nothing on local school administrators as they prepare for fall kindergarten and first grade transportation. Districts tag students with name, address, teacher, and bus number, distributing tags on boarding or at school, or mailing them home. New Castle Area School District leads with monitors for kindergartners, four full-time per run at nine dollars per, plus three part-time monitors for special education riders. Monitors ensure proper stop placement and help children cross streets when needed.
