COLUMN: Nationalism could lead to war
April 24The recent success of French nationalist Jean-Marie Le Pen over Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin and the recent waves of anti-Semitic violence in France are worrisome indicators of a new wave of European nationalist sentiment. Not since the 1940s have nationalist and xenophobic feelings run so high in western European countries, and it may be that time has dulled memories of the horrors those feelings helped produce in the first half of the twentieth century.

COLUMN: Necessity, not laws, will save Earth
April 23Earth Day is one of those events that has become untouchable by any person that would question the motivations, practices or aims of those that advocate any kind of activist environmentalism. Opponents to the regulation-based environmentalism of the current environmental movement are routinely depicted as the sorts that would kill puppies for a buck, end sunshine to drive an SUV or that feel a need to consume all natural resources before their selfish children grow up and use them all.

LETTER: Students deserve to be kept informed of campus crimes

COLUMN: 'Silent Spring'at 40: dioxin predictions not unfounded
April 19This month marks the 40th anniversary of "Silent Spring," Rachel Carson's epic warning that pesticides are destroying life on earth and the day could come when there will be no more birds to herald the coming of spring with their songs.

Carrasco a great example of ‘drive-by’ journalism
April 18Michael Carrasco’s March 26 version of what I supposedly said at my March 24 UNM talk is a perfect example of the “drive-by” journalism so prevalent in the media today. He was not in attendance.

One man’s plea for peace
April 18To my Jewish cousins, tell me please: is there anything in the world worth the life of an innocent child? Is forcing the Israeli settlements worth the life of a child, when all children are innocent?
