U.S. preliminary plan on Afghanistan is to remove at least some contractors -Pentagon
The Pentagon said on Friday the preliminary plan on Afghanistan is for at least some contractors to be removed during the United States' military withdrawal from the country. President Joe Biden said on Wednesday U.S. troops will be withdrawn from Afghanistan starting May 1 to end America's longest war, rejecting calls for them to stay to ensure a peaceful resolution to that nation's grinding internal conflict. As of October, there were more than 18,000 such contractors, including 6,000 Americans and 7,000 third-country nationals, according to a U.S. government watchdog.

Letters: Cheers on election bipartisanship. Jeers for corrupt open records changes.
Best of bipartisanship Thanks to Gov. Andy Beshear and Secretary of State Michael Adams for coming together again for Kentucky voters with the signing of the future election voting bill. I appreciate their working with each other for Kentucky voters instead of against someone just because he is of the other political party. The respectful way this bill was negotiated is indeed a model for the country.

Cameron Smith leads RBC Heritage after career-low 62
Cameron Smith birdied the difficult 17th and 18th holes at Harbour Town to shoot a 9-under 62, his career low on the PGA Tour, and take a one-shot lead over Stewart Cink at the RBC Heritage on Thursday. Cink finished his 63 around lunchtime and no one appeared likely to beat that score in overcast, breezier afternoon conditions. Smith surpassed his previous low of 63, accomplished three times on tour.
