Crops Survive Western and Eastern Kansas Weather
Agricultural experts say the recent storms across western and eastern Kansas will cause limited lasting damage. Wheat in the northwest may suffer some burn from cold but should rebound, while cattle and calves endure the snow with minimal losses. Ranchers in southwest Kansas worry about cattle escaping snowdrifts, but most livestock will fare. feedlot pens require clearing as wind dies down. Eastern Kansas remains persistently wet with few days suitable for fieldwork, delaying corn planting and harvesting of milo and soybeans.

Panelists Think North Hid Casey Connection
Congressional investigators say former CIA Director William J. Casey recruited Oliver L. North to organize a CIA tied Contra aid operation that avoided reporting to Congress. The New York Times cites unnamed senators and a representative as saying Casey masterminded the effort while hospitalized with a brain tumor.
