The picture in the Nov. 11 newspaper about the new "Capote" movie had a picture of a car with a Kansas license tag on it. My recollection of tags in those days, they were new every year and they began with the number 1. If that's true, I'm surprised the city and county would have had 57,609 vehicles registered in 1959, which I believe is the year shown. Which of my presumed facts is incorrect?

I remember hearing somewhere that Veterans Day started in Kansas. Is this true?

Wednesday, November 9

The Kansas City Chiefs notched a thrilling, last-second win against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. But this week, they visit the Buffalo Bills. How have the Chiefs fared in Buffalo in recent years?
