The House Federal and State Affairs Committee will have hearings Monday and Tuesday on a bill that would enable the Kansas Bureau of Investigation to issue licenses allowing people to carry concealed guns beginning Jan. 1, 2000.

Alan Keyes bellows, "We are the fat lady!" Al Gore, for all his vice-presidential importance, faces a patently parochial campaign issue: Freeway "Build it," a voter demands. Though the first-in-the-nation presidential primaries are a year away, and Washington is still focused on President Clinton's Senate impeachment trial, Campaign 2000 is gearing up in New Hampshire.

Distraught citizens sobbed in the streets and world leaders converged on the desert kingdom, united in grief for the statesman who brought bridges of peace to the turbulent Middle East. The deep political divides between those planning to attend today's elaborate state funeral served as a powerful reminder of Hussein's far-reaching abilities as a mediator and leader — skills that lifted Jordan into a place of international prominence. Hussein, who had fought a seven-month battle with lymphatic cancer, died Wednesday after returning home from the United States. In keeping with Islamic tradition, the funeral will be held quickly — an enormous procession through the streets of Amman just 24 hours after Hussein's heart gave out. President Clinton and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton were among those planning to attend. Underscoring Jordan's determination that the transition be swift and smooth, Hussein's eldest son Abdullah, 37, was sworn in just four hours later in a solemn ceremony at parliament.

Hunt and Seib had told many interesting stories. "It gave kind of a personal face to the people we had just been reading about," Hostetler said. In his acceptance speech, Hunt said that a number of problems faced journalism today. He said one problem was the role of the Internet. "The Internet is a fascinating and sometimes valuable tool. But when Matt Drudge sets a journalistic agenda, we are in trouble," Hunt said. Hunt also said there was an abundance of unearned cynicism in the media. "I think reporters should always be skeptical and never be cynical, and that's a very thin line," he said. Hunt said he still had hope that the new generation of reporters would solve the problems facing the industry of journalism. He said that despite all the problems facing journalism, the nation is stronger than it has ever been. He cited the economy, the amount of scientific research and our influence over the way the world's people live as reasons for this increased strength. Hunt joined the Journal as one of its New York reporters in 1965, transferred to the Boston bureau two years later and moved to Washington two years after that. For the last 30 years he has worked in Washington writing about politics. Hunt has also worked on several television shows, including Washington Week in Review, CBS Morning News, and Meet the Press. He currently is on CNN's Capital Gang and Evans, Novak, Hunt & Shields. Hunt said that he had enjoyed his stay at the University of Kansas, but that he thought his stay could have been made more pleasant by one thing. "The only disappointment is that there is not a game in the Allen Fieldhouse this weekend," he said.
