If I may:
Though it doesn't mean anything, and I am not trying to start an argument. I know there was much work put into the convention, but in the interest of accuracy, and as a Kansan; The Wizard of Oz was based in Kansas. Though Kansas City, MO has the name Kansas in it. KCMo is actually not in Kansas. Hence, poor Dorothy and Toto would once again have to state " I don't think we are in Kansas."
Between The Wizard of Oz and In Cold Blood, Kansas doesn't have much mention in literature; we have to hold on where we can. Well Wichita did have BTK, but a little girl in a tornado is a much better story than him.
