55 dependents of U.S. diplomats leave Baghdad, head for Turkey
The Associated Press
ANKARA. Turkey — About 55 dependents of U.S. diplomats who were stranded for several days in Baghdad after fleeing Kuwait, left the Iraqi capital yesterday for Turkey, the U.S. Embassy here said.
Embassy spokesperson Carole Lee Helleman said the Americans left Baghdad early yesterday morning in a helicopter.
Heileman said the group was expected to arrive at Turkey's Haurab border post sometime in the afternoon or evening.

She said the 55 were all dependents of U.S. personnel who had been stationed in the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait. "An additional 54 or 55 personnel, most men, who had been stationed in Iraq, and we have not secured their release." Heilman said.
Earlier this week, Iraq gave a Friday deadline for nations to close their embassies in Kuwait, claiming its oil-rich neighbor as part of Iraq territory. Iraq annexed Kuwait six days after its Aug. 2 invasion of the emirate. But the United States, most European nations and many other countries have refused to close their embassies in Kuwait City, instead reducing personnel there to a minimum.
The U.S. Embassy sent about 100 diplomas and their dependents to Baghdad, where they were stranded when
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein reversed an earlier promise and refused to let them leave.
But Saturday, Iraq's U.S. ambassador said in Washington that the wives and children of the American president would be released.
"The dependents are going to be released," said Mohamed al-Mashat, summoned to the State Department.

A Look At Kansas City's History By Amy Roberts, Carolyn Durkalski and Steve Schaefer
Kansas City, rich in history, has developed into one of the largest metropolitan areas in the nation. Before journeying to Kansas City, travel back in time and consider the many people and events that have influenced this great city.
November 14, 1838 marks the date when the Kansas Town Company bought a 256 acre lot for $4220 at an auction. This area became downtown Kansas City. Jackson County made the area of K.C. a legal entity in 1850 with the name City of Kansas. The current name, Kansas City, did not originate until 1889.
Several of the places in Metropolitan Kansas City are named after their early inhabitants, the American Indians. Such places named after tribes are: Missouri, Kansas, Shawnee and Wyandotte. A suburb of Kansas City, Lenexa, was named after an Indian princess named Len-ag-see, and Olathe derived its name from an Indian word which means "beautiful."
Jesse Clyde Nichols is a major part of Kansas City history. Nichols developed several large areas, including the world famous Country Club Plaza. Between his junior and senior years at The University of Kansas, Nichols bicycled across Europe. This trip influenced Mr. Nichols in his development of Kansas City and its many beautiful fountains.
The history of Kansas City's fountains is an integral part of the history of the city itself. Some of the first fountains in K.C. were simply used for watering horses and not meant as works of art. This city is renowned for its fountain

art and often referred to as the "City of Fountains." The fountains bring a small part of several old European cities to the Plaza and other areas in K.C.
The area which is now Westport, was started by John Calvin McCoy in 1833. The original name of the town was Westport because McCoy had a trading port for the traffic along the Independence Road and Indian missions in the west. McCoy bought the land around his store and cleared lots for his envisioned town. Westport soon picked up as McCoy opened a port to deliver goods directly to the town.
Nichols, a very influential man, served on the National Capital Park and Planning Commission from 1926 until 1948. This committee was largely responsible for restoring Washington D.C. to L'Efanat's original vision. The creation of the Nelson-Aktsin Museum of Art is another great contribution by Nichols.
Westport became a battle ground in the Civil War. On October 23, 1864 Brush Creek was the only separation between the Union and Confederate armies. At the end of the war, Westport bacame a desolate town and did not begin to grow again until several years later as people realized Westport's potential.
Kansas City's past has helped it grow into a city rich in culture and diversity. Now that you have learned some of the city history, you will want to visit Kansas City and all its attractions.
