LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
fter nearly 75 years, the Scopes "monkey trial" in Dayton, Tenn., and the questions about religion and evolution upon which it centered are still the focus of debate in this country.
To many, the Anasazi people of the ancient Southwest appear to have been skilled at astrology, peaceful, cooperative and wise, but a new book speculates that cannibalism was widespread among the Anasazi.
Can Americans transcend institutional racism if the South doesn't discard its self-serving myths and face its history? It's time that the flags come down and the myths be shattered.
Also, another of Tucson's famous female architects, Nashville's PBS station loosens up, a couple of Austin Chronicle writers go to the dogs, and more.
