I am a writer. I love the Rocky Mountain West. For more than 50 years my primary residence has been in the upper basin of the Rio Grande.
Some Rapid Reading About Rapid Transit
(Or, Light Reading About Light Rail)
Too bad rapid Bill Richardson’s idea about light rail transportation avoids the Albuquerque Central problem. Too bad Mayor Martin Chavez is unrealistic. Urban light rail works in the four biggest North American Rocky Mountain metro areas. The fifth is Albuquerque. Impossible dream?
Lord Save Us From The Demon Rum (And Also Fred)

A Long Letter From A Good Citizen
Aubrey Dunn is a straight shooter
I freelanced the arguments from Aubrey Dunn’s polemical e-mail on Bill Richardson’s school deal, but the anecdotes of corruption called for real journalism.
The Firebombing Of Japan: An Apology
Errol Morris Presents Robert S. McNamara
The maker of “The Thin Blue Line” and other artful documentary films interviewed Robert S. McNamara for 20 hours and came up with. . . the 20th Century, personified.
