LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
he keyword for this week in Arts & Leisure is
variety. You've got a wide spectrum of topics to choose
from here, that's for sure...
One man's crusade against the home-smashing, soul-killing
gang life in Memphis is told in "No Gangster's Paradise."
Chaplain Carl Nelson of the Tennessee Department of Corrections--himself
an ex-gang member--is shown talking to some very tough kids in
this compelling story.
We have a mini-section on the art and artists of Santa
Fe. From the paintings of Taos artist, Agnes Martin to Robert Baird's story on Santa Fe's summer opera festival,
the section offers a fresh look at this New Mexico bastion of
Art.
Kevin Franklin tells us what to do if we're bitten by
a poisonous snake in "Bite Fright." In "Pantry Shelf," NewCityChicago's Ray Pride reviews a whole
slew of new cooking books. Dig in.
