LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
or those of us who grew up in its frightening, long shadow, the Cold War will go on forever, like a desert highway. Southern Arizona author Gregory McNamee offers a meditation on coming of age in an area where apocalypse was an ongoing event.
The most talked-about drug bust in Texas last year happened in a Panhandle county with more cows than people. One year later, the fallout from the controversial operation has brought revelations that something went terribly wrong.
The Rio Grande, which winds for more than 400 miles through New Mexico, is relied upon to sustain big cities with water-sucking, high-tech computer microchip plants, an agricultural industry that depends on irrigation to survive, and now, endangered species such as a two-inch long minnow and the willow flycatcher.
Also, singing the apartment-hunting blues, an author takes on an old murder case, and more.
