In history and poetry, Xanadu was the location of the opulent summer palace of Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan and emperor during the Yuan dynasty. In 1980, Xanadu was a fluffy, critically panned movie musical that paired Olivia Newton-John with Gene Kelly and a handful of catchy disco-influenced hits.

The preliminary order, which came down late yesterday, is a win for the activist wing of the Missouri Republican Party, which wants to exert greater control over who can run as a Republican in the state by forcing would-be candidates to complete a "values survey" and have their criminal and financial records scrutinized by county committees before being allowed on the ballot.
