From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 2, 1986:

• In Tokyo, where he was attending a seven-nation summit, President Reagan accused the Soviet Union of “stubborn refusal” to tell the world about the nuclear catastrophe at Chernobyl. In his weekly radio address to the American people, after expressing sympathy for those affected by the accident, Reagan added, “The Soviets owe the world an explanation; a full accounting of what happened at Chernobyl and what is happening now is the least the world community has a right to expect … The Soviets’ handling of this incident manifests a disregard for the legitimate concerns of people everywhere.”
• A three-bedroom house at 1741 W. 25th was causing a bit of controversy in the area. Nearby neighbor Dick Wilson had complained to county commissioners about parking problems caused by members of the House of Prayer, a charismatic church operating out of the house. The minister of the church said that the prayer house had a constitutional right to operate, while city officials said that it could not continue to operate in a residential neighborhood without getting a special variance.
