LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
ombstone, Arizona was the site of many a gun battle in its heyday,
but the current battles surrounding the town (and the characters
that roamed the streets) are nothing short of bizarre. Tucson
Weekly's Tim Vanderpool takes us down the dusty trail in "Scroll Rustlers."
Other literary looks include a comic book look at New York Jews in the 1800's, TV based short stories, Ken Kesey's latest, a look at a new bio of Leslie Stahl, a review of the African continent's history, and more mini-reviews in "Speed Reader."
