Editor, I treasure good sleep. Early to bed and early to rise truly helps to make us healthy and wise. Years ago, I foolishly stayed up late many nights and then felt like crap the next day. Now I like to go to bed between 9 and 10 p.m. and to get up between 6 and 7 a.

Noel Pugach, a history professor, invited Rosen to speak at UNM about his book, Saving the Jews, even though Pugach disagrees with the book's argument, Rosen said. Pugach declined to comment.

The book is controversial because of issues concerning plagiarism, citations and use of sources, Norwood said.
