Franklin County considers forming a community foundation
A Ottawa Franklin County Economic Development task force recommends creating a Franklin County Community Foundation affiliated with the Kansas City Community Foundation.

The foundation would serve as a community savings account supporting local charities and endowments.

A long opinion piece argues that claims of a gentler America under Clinton and Bush are false. It contends the public is being frightened into dependence, with 60 000 cops funded incompletely and a government hungry for control. It cites a CNN report about New Mexico removing a 3 year old girl and warns of tyranny through acquiescence.

Eszterhas targets Lieberman in Hollywood politics clash
The essay accuses Joe Eszterhas of pressuring the film industry to withhold Gore support over Senator Lieberman's comments on sex and violence in media. It frames Eszterhas as a threat to free expression and suggests a conspiratorial Hollywood mobilization to bolster Gore against Lieberman. It also ridicules the feud as a publicity stunt and questions motives behind the dialogue push.
