Editor, I would like to apologize to the Mexican government for many things that are too numerous to list in a letter or a column or, probably, a 1,000-page book. I would like to point out that D.

Editor, I'm writing in response to the letter by Laura Bracht and Havah S. Johnson published in the Daily Lobo on Wednesday in which they claim that because the Bible has clout in our society, it is factually accurate. The Iliad is considered to be a semi-historical myth.
Albuquerque underground hip-hop fans rarely get a chance to see well-known rap acts, much less for free. But, on Friday, anyone over 21 can catch a free show with Akil of Jurassic 5 at Burt's Tiki Lounge, at 313 Gold Ave. S.W.

Editor, Let us see if we can't finish off all of the silliness over the flag incident. First, let's blame everyone involved, then absolve them and then shut up.
