We’ll adapt?
George Brenner

Evidence of global warming and climate change in Kansas and surrounding states was documented in several recent Journal-World articles. Temperatures reached 109 to 115 degrees in parts of western Kansas while wildfires blazed over farmland in central, north-central, and northwestern Kansas. Colorado wildfires have raged out of control and forced evacuations of many homes, and over 1,000 record temperatures were set in a single week. Rather impressive for this early in the year, and the current weather system shows no sign of rapid improvement.

Roberts finesses health care decision
Charles Krauthammer
June 30, 2012 in print edition on A6
It’s the judiciary’s Nixon-to-China: Chief Justice John Roberts joins the liberal wing of the Supreme Court and upholds the constitutionality of Obamacare. How? By pulling off one of the great constitutional finesses of all time. He managed to uphold the central conservative argument against Obamacare, while at the same time finding a narrow definitional dodge to uphold the law — and thus prevented the court from being seen as having overturned, presumably on political grounds, the signature legislation of this administration.
Lifetime movie strains credibility
Kevin McDonough
June 30, 2012
Lifetime returns to its “woman in peril” formula with the over-the-top drama “Fugitive at 17” (7 p.m. Saturday). Marie Avgeropoulos (“50/50”) plays spunky teenage hacker Holly Hamilton. She’s pert, pretty and can cobble together a super-laptop from spare parts and hack into any institution’s mainframe. It’s just too bad that her pal, Blake (Cindel Chartrand), drags her to an illegal rave. On a school night, no less.
Horoscope for June 30
Jacqueline Bigar, King Features
June 30, 2012
For Saturday, June 30: This year you fit in a substantial amount of time for enjoying loved ones and friends. You could be friskier than you have been in the past; however, you will need to juggle this wildness with your daily life. If you are single, try not to put a potential sweetie on a pedestal — your vision of this person is not realistic. If you are attached, both of you exude a combination of mischief and fun.
