A proposal to name part of a Kansas River tributary after the late
William Burroughs drew spirited debate Monday on the Douglas County
Commission. However, the commission decided against making a formal
recommendation on the plan. Burroughs, who died in 1997, is
pictured here at his home near the creek. (For photo use info, call
