Anti-abortion activists will have multiple reasons to celebrate — and some reasons for unease — when they gather Friday in Washington for the annual March for Life. The march, which includes a rally drawing abortion opponents from across the nation, has been held annually since January 1974 — a year after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision established a nationwide right to abortion. This year’s gathering — 50 years after that decision — will be the first since the high court struck down Roe in a momentous ruling last June. Since then, 12 Republican-governed states have implemented sweeping bans on abortion,…

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A former researcher who was accused of hiding work he did in China while employed by the University of Kansas, which prosecutors say cost the school and federal agencies hundreds of thousands of dollars, will be sentenced Wednesday on one felony count of making a false statement. Feng “Franklin” Tao was originally convicted in April on four counts, including three counts of wire fraud. But a federal judge in September threw out the wire fraud convictions and let the false statement conviction stand. Federal prosecutors are seeking a sentence of 2.5 years, while Tao’s attorneys are asking U.S. District…

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A criminal trial was set to start Tuesday for a northeastern Kansas man who federal prosecutors say developed a fixation on U.S. Rep. Jake LaTurner and threatened to kill him, at a time when authorities have seen a sharp increase in threats to the nation’s lawmakers and their families. Prosecutors say Chase Neill, 32, threatened to kill LaTurner in a June 5 voicemail message left at the Republican congressman’s office, then continued to make threatening calls the following day. His federal trial on one count of threatening a public official was scheduled to begin Tuesday with jury selection,…
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have been in this situation before, ready to embark on a postseason run that the past four years has landed the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game and twice ended in the Super Bowl. So it’s easy to assume that the rest of the Chiefs are a hardened bunch of playoff veterans. Turns out they’re not. Only the three-win Chicago Bears had more games played by rookies than the Chiefs this season, and only four teams had more first-year players start games than Kansas City. That includes defensive…

Dozens gathered Monday inside the Douglass Center Annex, formerly the Douglass School, for the annual MLK Community Prayer Breakfast. Each year, the Manhattan Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Committee organizes a variety of events to honor Dr. King, and this year’s theme was “true peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” K-state’s assistant dean of diversity programs for the College of Agriculture Dr. Zelia Wiley said today was a celebration of hard work and diversity. She also reflected on the change spurred on by Dr. King as well as the change that is…
