Brownback in the News

The Kansas City Star does not allow re-posting of their articles, and links to articles on their site are expensive, so these are my own discussions of what I read in the news, and I provide a reference to the source article after each essay. I encourage you to find those sources and read them for yourself. The Star's website has a search engine. If that doesn't work, try asking for reprints directly from the Kansas City Star, 1729 Grand Blvd., Kansas City, MO 64108. Finally, many public libraries have newspaper archives.
