Most people I talk to have never heard of a small museum in Dallas called the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. I didn’t recognize the name either when a friend I was planning to visit mentioned it. “You know,” she said, “the Texas Book Depository?” Of course—the building forever linked to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The building, completed in 1903 to replace an earlier structure destroyed by fire, has always served as a warehouse or storage facility. In 1963, the Texas School Book Depository Company leased space there Read More

Heinrich: Thank You For Your Courage

by

By U.S. SEN. MARTIN HEINRICH:

In New Mexico, the tradition of serving our nation runs deep. Time and again, New Mexican service members and military veterans have put our country first. They have served at home and abroad, and they have fought for what it means to be American.

We owe our service members and their families more than lip service. They put their lives on the line to fight for America’s promise of freedom. Just like they fought for us, we must honor and fight for them here at home.

Honoring that service means rehiring fired workers at the Department of Veterans Affairs. It means telling Read More

by

By ROBERT D. DAY
Los Alamos

Terry Wallace’s Op-Ed (link) in the Nov. 6, 2025 issue of the Los Alamos Daily Post sounded like a lot of political-eze.

Nuclear weapons systems are very complex and even the most sophisticated numerical simulations being used to model them cannot allow for every complexity.

It falls into the you-do-not-know-what-you-don’t-know category. I, personally, would like to know if the weapons in our stockpile still work. (Especially since they have been “mothballed” for around 30 years.) The only way to determine this is by testing. Read More
