Finney aims for Truman style Kansan governorship
Joan Finney on Wednesday expressed her aim to be a Harry Truman type governor as she becomes Kansas first woman chief executive in January. She said she would be direct and honest and possibly raise a little hell, while blending Truman's feisty approach with a mentor like Frank Carlson. Finney outlined a transition plan from Governor Hayden, working from the treasurer’s office with staff moving to the governor’s office and collaborating with Treasurer-elect Sally Thompson, naming her lieutenant governor running mate.

War timing bets spark market chatter across oil world
U S forces strikes may begin between November 12 and 22, say Pegasus Econometric Group analysts. They caution they are not predicting war, just noting when military action seems most likely amid Gulf crisis talk. Other analysts cite post election dates and weather, while Vegas oddsmakers distance themselves from war handicapping as a business matter.

Kansas Voter Turnout Falls Short of Record
Secretary of State Bill Graves reported 805,251 Kansas voters participated in the general election, about 67 percent of registered voters. The turnout, while not a record for a nonpresidential year, was the second largest for such a election, well below Graves’s forecast of 850,000. He cited late opening times and governor race disillusionment as factors.
