Pulitzer photographer recalls Kent State shootings impact
John Filo, then a Kent State student and later an AP photographer, recalls filming the 1970 Kent State killings, the Pulitzer image of a kneeling student, and the aftermath including whitewash claims. He says he is not bitter, just sad, and notes no indictments followed the National Guard shootings. He also doubts large protests will recur soon.

Illinois lawmakers block river and lake protection bills
Environmentalists warn Illinois waterways face irreversible damage as the House defeats the Lake Michigan Bill of Rights and a scenic rivers measure. The two measures would have limited development along 11 rivers and near the lake, proposing a lake board and a seven member commission. Critics charge landowners would lose control while supporters cite protection of waterways and shorelines.
