Wall Street woes first sign of disintegration of US supremacy

Editor, Why are politicians sounding alarm bells as Wall Street goes down in flames? It's simple: Our economy is three-quarters goods and services. When people don't have disposable income or access to credit, three-quarters of our gross domestic produce will slide.

Unusual matchup succeeds on all counts

Simon Pegg and Kirsten Dunst isn't the strangest onscreen matchup of all time, but it has to be in the top 10. For the most part, the matchup works in "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People." They share an onscreen chemistry that isn't the norm in modern cinema but has more in common with the great romantic comedies of the '50s and '60s.

UNM student Jonathan Grimes hung his first art show of abstract paintings at Winning Coffee Co. last week. They resemble square, green and gold kaleidoscopic jewels - an impressive and well-executed series for someone with no art training.

Don't judge based on race; vote with an open mind

Editor, I discovered years ago that we all carry some degree of prejudice within us. We all have something inside we don't want to face. Let's consider skin tones.
