Redondo Road South will be closed to through traffic between Martin Luther King Drive and Yale Boulevard July 29 through August 18.
Alan Greenspan has coined a new phrase - "infectious greed." In a time of grand corporate scandal, it seems that the Federal Reserve chairman hit right on the money, no pun intended.
San Juan dancers Nathana Bird, Loren Montoya and his brother Anthony, from left, perform a Buffalo Dance at the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture in Santa Fe during the annual Sun Mountain Gathering July 13.

The UNM Physical Plant, which is responsible for the operation and maintenance of facilities, will renovate a 50-year-old cooling plant to improve the reliability of utilities on campus. The construction will be the beginning of a five-year project and is budgeted at $55 million.
The high school basketball season doesn’t begin until fall, but the groundwork for the upcoming season can be found in the summer team camps. Seventy varsity, junior varsity and freshmen teams are in Albuquerque this week laying the foundation for their upcoming seasons at the UNM Men’s Basketball Team Camp.
Editor, Given the current flap over the phrase “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance, I suggest we consider dumping it altogether. A far more appropriate pledge would be one to the Constitution, such as: “I pledge to read, understand, support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
The UNM Women’s Soccer team finalized its 2002 schedule last week. To call it a tough slate might be an understatement. The Lobos, who finished second in the Mountain West Conference in 2001 after a poor showing in non-conference games, play six NCAA tournament participants in their 10-game non-conference schedule.
If you dig too deep and too greedily, you will awaken the shadow. OK — so that was from “The Lord of the Rings,” but it fits with the new dragon thriller “Reign of Fire.” Some poor construction company dug a little too deep under London and awoke the beast.
On Saturday, July 6, three artists from seemingly disparate musical traditions came together at Rodey Theater to perform a set of first-rate world music. Titled “Stars of the East and West,” the performance featured artists from Iran and Colombia.

Editor, I was saddened by your recent front-page story regarding the Pepsi vending deal and the consequential loss of UNM vending services jobs and some valued hard working folks. I have to agree with Terry Mulcahy in his letter to the editor on July 3 when he wonders “what UNM’s priorities are.
The relationship between a boy and his father is the basis for “The Road to Perdition” —a thoughtful film disguised as a mobster movie. Tyler Hoechlin plays the young son, Michael Sullivan, and Tom Hanks portrays his father, Mike Sullivan. Hanks works for a man named Rooney, played by Paul Newman, who runs the small rural town the family inhabits.
Marc Fisher of the Washington Post was right when he wrote that the big guys in America can walk all over us with a smile because they know that we — the little people — will take it. He was referring to the Major League Baseball All-Star game that was called quits because none of the team owners wanted to risk their pitchers’ arms with extra innings.
In a time of tight state budgets, a poor economy and the ever-increasing costs of education, institutions are turning toward development as a major way of attracting private donations to compliment state and tuition funding. Leslie Elgood, director of University Development and president of the UNM Foundation, said once accounting totals are completed later this month, she expects the foundation and its development offices to have raised more than $37 million, a new record for the foundation.
A certain pattern appears to have developed in the art of persuading Americans to war. It goes something like this: 1. Pick a target, presumably with some direct or indirect connection to some actual threat or transgression. 2. Paint that target — and all people who happen to live in its general vicinity — as the most evil, vile thing ever to walk the face of the planet.
As a band, Sonic Youth formed in 1981. As a phenomenon, Sonic Youth has always seemed to be there; its influence lingering in the work of nearly every college, punk, grunge or art rock band since its 1988 breakthrough, Daydream Nation. In its 21-year history, the band has weathered record label scuffles, fan accusations of “selling out” and an array of departed and added band members.
“Mr. Deeds” may have scored big at the box office, taking the number one spot over the weekend — but is it worthy of such success? “Mr. Deeds” is a funny, if not completely brainless, remake of the 1936 Frank Capra film, “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.” In this reincarnation, “Mr.
