Editorial notes Reagan won the Republican caucus in Franklin County Kansas. The result is seen as cosmetic for the elderly candidate, with the event treated as a media display of momentum. Delegates will be instructed on votes at district and state conventions after the April 1 primary.
The state wide primary will decide national delegates, a rubber stamp result. Franklin County conventions show Reagan’s organized forces and residual conservative strength from prior nominations. Any serious Kansan challenger must appeal directly to voters, not GOP leaders, to contest Reagan.

KCET’s 18 million budget relies on 1.5 million from CPB and about 3 million from viewers as pay-TV pressures rise. Public TV funding debates, donor culture, and a prayer aside mingle with a DIY diet column and a grandma letter on child nutrition in the same clipping.
