| | He told his brother to do all he could for the defense of the town, to fight them to the last, and never be taken prisoner, for Quantrell killed all prisoners. | | | Had Quantrell's gang come according to promise, they would have been "welcomed with bloody hands and hospitable graves." Someone asked Quantrell, when in Lawrence, why he did not come before when he said he would. | | | About the first of August this brother wrote him that his spies had been in Quantrell's camp &emdash; had mingled freely with his men &emdash; and had learned from Quantrell's clerk, that they proposed to make a raid on Lawrence about the full of the moon, which would be three weeks before the actual raid. |

| | Dozen Distinctive Destinations at National Trust for Historic Preservation - Lawrence, Kansas |
| | The plan became the basis of a court decision that denied a developer’s request to rezone 61 acres of prime farmland for a regional shopping center, saying the rezoning conflicted with Lawrence’s revitalization goals and that cities have a right to protect the economic vitality of their downtowns. | | | Lawrence, Kansas, (population 65,000) is a lively city known for its rich cultural arts scene, university life, and dedication to downtown preservation. | | | Like most American cities, Lawrence today is still fighting sprawl development on the outskirts of town, but its downtown is economically sound and historically significant. |

| | Pat Roberts, Republican of Kansas, defending the GOP proposal [on warrantless wiretapping] against critics who say it's pathetically weak, said he resented being called a "lap dog of the administration." That label certainly is unfair. | | | If the Kansas legislature were underworked, that would be one thing. | | | But the state has real problem, and the time that Hutchins wastes attacking children is time that could be used making this state a better place. |
