A Kansas editor argues lobbying is salesmanship with risk and reward. The Kansas Highway Patrol’s handling of State Rep Barbara Allen’s 71 mph ticket raises questions about fairness and equal treatment of motorists. The piece urges legislators to model law obedience and curb special treatment.
The piece argues Governor Carlin, famed for two successful campaigns, will reveal a May plan, but observers deem the move a costly signal to other contenders. It questions the motive and urges the press to largely ignore the anticlimactic publicity stunt and the drawn out race.
An op-ed-like overview notes historic quakes from 1906 San Francisco to Kansas events, warning Midwesterners about a possible future shaker. It cites Oklahoma City, Ellis and Barber counties, and the Nemaha fault, plus insurance angles and a California forewarned map.
A biting critique of stock market swings and takeovers. The narrator mocks market jargon, laments the social costs yet rejects sympathy for big losses, and portrays corporate raiders as land sharks circling decaying prey while prices drift upward on hysteria. The piece mixes satire with sharp economic critique and distrust of Wall Street tactics.
A narrator recalls a father who loved baseball and the failings of his own youth with Little League, gear struggles, and awkward catcher days. He describes baseball as a faded passion, the impact on his self image, and a later tempered interest during playoff talk, ending with a wry nod to Cubs fans.
