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. That time may be near. As a senior citizen, I can attest to the fact that there are far fewer birds today than there were during my childhood.

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? Is the blood of a child precious enough for you and me to take an active role to convince Ariel Sharon to stop a futile occupation and Yasser Arafat to stop a bloody game?

LETTER: Removing band fliers costly for community
April 17Many of us have worked for years to remove the illegal fliers that are persistently posted in the UNM area. These fliers have proven to be not only an eyesore, but also the source of much of the street debris that pollutes the area.
