...hand, pot belly swaying in gentle tandem with the ice clinking against the side of the glass, and Crazy Heart even opens at a bowling alley. But whereas bowling was the Dude's favorite sport and main occupation, for Bad, finding himself performing at a bowling alley in Pueblo, Colo., is a misery. He's a legend in the country-and-western scene, but he's 57, broke and no longer even afforded the dignity of running a tab at the bars where he plays ("I'm ..." he starts to tell an unsympathetic bartender waiting for her $4.75, then gestures...
Before New Mexico meets its future, however, it has to reckon with its past. Human habitation here dates back 12,000 years; in the 16th century the storied Camino Real - a 1,500-mile trade route from Mexico City to San Juan Pueblo, near Santa Fe - passed through the spaceport site.

It was the polite thing to do, though no one was really expected to sit down and write a letter. Now you get an e-mail the next day saying, "I saw your tour schedule on your website. Put me on the guest list tonight!" Or worse...
...When anthropologists observe cultures, they oftentimes choose a particularly unique social phenomenon that allows a glimpse into that culture’s canon of values: a Balinese cockfight, for example, or a Pueblo rain dance. These are the times when a people’s deepest shared emotions are on display, when their ideals and dreams take on ceremonial form. The good ethnographer realizes that these behaviors are not just aesthetic curiosities. They are codebooks of culture...
