Freedom to Serve
As the U.S. military reviews its controversial "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on gays serving openly, KPR Presents "Freedom to Serve." We'll look at the role of blacks and women in the military, and how those lessons can be applied to gays. "Freedom to Serve" was moderated by NPR Senior News Analyst Juan Williams, and held at the Truman Presidential Library and Museum in Independence, MO.

The agreement was announced today (FRI) by Governor Mark Parkinson and Steve Ridolfi, Bombardier's business aircraft president. The production of the Learjet 85 will mean 600 jobs for Wichita, with 300 of those new positions. It also includes a guarantee that the firm will keep its operations in the state. Bombardier will invest $600 million in an expansion at the Learjet site that will include a new paint facility, customer delivery center, production flight test facility and expanded production hangars for final assembly of the plane.
