Saturday Notebook on Topeka transition and national politics
The column notes the two month delay before Gov elect Mike Hayden takes over from Gov John Carlin, praising Carlin for aiding transition. It jokes about old travel times, cites Carlin in Japan promoting Kansas products, and recalls a Belgium computer failure story tied to handwriting news. It mentions a Western Kansas caller and humor about avoiding caller ID, plus a quip from the Sage of Osage about 2000. It ends with Kansas City courting 1988 conventions with a proposed 11 million budget for Democrats, including cars, rooms, airfares, and 20 000 seats.

Reagan-Bashing Is Child's Play
Washington columnist David S. Broder notes a split in Reagan era politics as grown up Republicans like Dole Lugar Laxalt and Domenici urge the president to confront the scandals and clean house while younger aides led by Patrick Buchanan provoke with vitriolic rhetoric and provocative journalism. The piece contrasts mature restraint with juvenile zeal and urges the president to heed steady counsel to restore governance.
