‘The Row’ belongs to broken men, shattered dreams – tomorrow
Editor’s note: This article first appeared in The Spokesman-Review on Nov. 21, 1955. It was topped with the following: “Who and what make up the legendary words ‘Skid Row,’ or Road? To find out, a Spokesman-Review reporter [Dorothy Rochon Powers] went “inside” the Row – into dreary 50-cent hotel rooms, taverns and back alleys. Here is the answer.”

US airdrops arms to Kurds in Syrian town of Kobani

Fixing foster care: ‘Where do I belong?’
Now evidence is mounting that taking children from the home, even for their own protection, may not always be what’s best. What awaits too many of them is a future marred by drugs, crime and homelessness – the vestiges of abandonment.

Court lets Texas keep voter ID law
The Supreme Court has allowed Texas to use its strict voter ID law in the November election even after a federal judge said the law was the equivalent of a poll tax and threatened to deprive many blacks and Latinos of the right to vote this year. Like earlier orders in North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, the justices’ action before dawn Saturday, two days before the start of early voting in Texas, appears to be based on their view that changing the rules so close to an election would be confusing.

Iranian concerns rise over falling oil prices
Iranian officials are expressing new worry over the global oil price slump, which is threatening the country’s budget and could undermine its strategy in international nuclear negotiations.

In brief: U.S.-led airstrike in Syria sets off explosions, kills eight

Debate gets hot
Wow. During last week’s KTVB-TV debate in the 2nd Congressional District race, former Rep. Richard Stallings said “load of crap” while describing the push to have the state take over public lands. He also said “stupid” – lots of times. Current Rep. Mike Simpson decried his opponent’s language as “absurd” and “offensive,” particularly after Stallings said Republicans don’t like poor people.
Balukoff: ‘Come clean’
A.J. Balukoff, Democratic candidate for governor, is calling on GOP Gov. Butch Otter to release immediately all public records and communications related to the Corrections Corporation of America, after Thursday’s Idaho Statesman reported that Otter’s top staffers were involved in negotiating a $1 million settlement with the firm, a major donor to Otter’s campaigns and the troubled former private operator of Idaho’s largest state prison.
