Kansas City Ks

Despite angry protests by black and inner-city leaders, the Kansas City City Council voted to restore a public cable channel that will allow the Ku Klux Klan to broadcast on the channel. The council had eliminated the channel in June, 1988 as a way of keeping the klan off the public access channel of American Cablevision. They backed down in light of a First Amendment lawsuit filed against the city by the American Civil Liberties Union.

Patty Kamper was fed up. The energetic, seasoned teacher was sick of the chaos that reigned at Wyandotte High School, where a favorite student prank was urinating into the wall heaters. Teachers stayed inside locked classrooms, afraid to confront the young toughs roaming the hallways. Kamper was discouraged by perennially poor student achievement. And she was tired of constantly trying to adapt as officials made one fruitless attempt after another to turn things around.

Executive recruiters and relocation specialists complain that clients from out of state often go into deep shock when they compare a $250,000 tract home in Laguna Niguel with their $90,000 manses in Peoria and Omaha. And home shoppers whose incomes haven't pierced the stratosphere often despair of finding anything at all in Orange County at a price they can afford. It is pretty tough to shop in the area's resale market without a ton of equity or a top corporate executive's salary.
