Please, on headlines like this, identify the locale so those of us not local will understand. To me "KC Courthouse" means "King County Courthouse." This is, of course, the King County that contains two cities famous all around the world.

To me, "KC Courthouse" means "King County Courthouse."

When I was a newspaperman covering Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm, I often wore desert camouflage *chocolate chip* fatigues with a nametag for our flagship newspaper, [located in Knox County] where the *U.S. Army* tag was for most of the troops. Since the space for characters was limited to 16 characters, it had to be abbreviated to read *K.C. Daily News*

Hey, if the press office folks thought it was a Kansas City newspaper, that wasn't my problem. I was going to cover the Turks' entry from the north into Baghdad anyway, as in that war, the Turks were certainly on our side.
