- By Joel M. Williams
- Los Alamos
- County Council members and administrators,
- The county has finally reached the drop-dead point with regard to the redo of N.M. 502 from Knecht to Tewa Loop.

- This design has now been soundly rejected by state
Column: I Am Flummoxed!
Column by Elena Yang I just wanted to find a way to use “flummoxed.” One story and one news item put me in this state.
Here is the story: Lynn Harrell, an internationally renowned cellist, found himself banned by Delta Airlines for violating their Frequent Flyer Program terms.

El Ilumindo Shines Light on Past
Review by Kirsten Laskey
It is easy to leave the past in the textbooks and some musty corner of a public library. But what happens when a piece of history sneaks its way into the present?
Writer Ilan Stavans and Illustrator Steve Sheinkin explore this phenomenon in their graphic novel, “El Iluminado.”
The book begins with a suspenseful and spine-tingling scene. In the dead of night a man, Rolando Perez, is being chased to the edge of a cliff in some lonely spot of the New Mexico desert.
