Dear Bob Frank, I’d like to thank you and the University of New Mexico for raising the salaries of teachers and staff, something that hasn’t happened for four years.

Editor, Hands — We enjoy using our hands to work, to garden, to play musical instruments, to prepare and eat meals, to pleasure our genitals, to make love with others … If we pay federal income tax, we pay to destroy other people’s hands in war.

There was a McDonald’s soda cup in my shoe. Before that night, I hadn’t eaten anything from McDonald’s in the last three years. I had been 220 pounds once, and I hated the possibility of going back to those dark days.
Editor, This April, millions of people around the world will recognize April as Parkinson’s Awareness Month. New Mexico residents are working hard to make their contribution on a local level.
