He used to be "the next president," but now Al Gore travels the world championing the issue of global warming. Gore brought his "An Inconvenient Truth" to the Santa Ana Star Center on Wednesday before an audience of more than 2,000 people.
Editor, It is to his credit that columnist Richard Berthold has become a defender of freedom of expression, particularly his own. Unfortunately, he does not believe that there is a need for expressed facts to be true.

Editor, Those scary people at GPSA are trying to secretly hold meetings so they can pass resolutions. I do not understand why they are trying to hide the time and place of their next meeting from UNM graduate students. It is not enough to announce the time and place of the next meeting during a meeting, and it is not enough to post the meeting at the GPSA office and at the place of the previous meeting.
Although the thrill of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta might be gone for some locals, it's quite a sight for students from other countries. "I think this is one of the greatest events, not only for the United States, but for the whole world," exchange student Masha Sotmikova said.
Myanmar's yearning for democracy has reached a new high -- so has its repression.

When forward Chris Wright is on top of his game, that means good things for the UNM men's soccer offense. Fortunately for the Lobos, Wright has been on a roll lately, scoring at least one goal in each of the last five games.
Editor, A hate crime is not "punishing someone for what he thinks," as Richard Berthold claims in his column published in the Daily Lobo on Thursday, but for what he does. It is because of seemingly intellectual propaganda such as this that today, the "Namaste Kicker" is likely to be let off with no more than a slap on the wrist.
