'Wichita Eagle' Blankets Page One With Tiller Murder

As expected, The Wichita Eagle covered nearly all of its front page with stories related to the Sunday murder of a local abortion doctor, George Tiller. Only a bottom-of-the-page story on General Motors was unrelated to the killing.

The paper also published a stinging editorial condemning the act, while more than 500 entries had been posted on a condolence page linked via Legacy.com as of 11 a.m.
