Letter to the Editor: Los Alamos Tagline Suggestions

By LYNNE CASSON
Retired Editor From LANL

I have the following suggestions for a tag line for Los Alamos.

How about  “Los Alamos — Discover the Secret”  or “Los Alamos – Discover Its Secrets”   or “Los Alamos – Discover Its Secrets for Yourself”  or or “Los Alamos — Yours to Discover” or “Los Alamos — Yours for the Discovering”?

Regarding “Where Discoveries are Made” — the phrase is in the passive voice, making it a little bit ho hum. To up the interest/excitement, Read More

U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján

CONGRESSIONAL News:

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico’s Third District released the following statement Thursday after voting against an omnibus appropriations bill.

Cinema Cindy Reviews ‘Birdman (Or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)’

By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos

“Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)” is a film exploring the self-absorption of actors, the nature of reality and the role of the theatrical arts in the lives of those who watch. Or it could be a movie about what is real and our own self-absorption. Either way, it is a film one must negotiate along with the characters.

Birdman is worthy of our attention. It was nominated for 7 Golden Globes, on Thursday, and garnered four nominations from the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Wednesday. Oscar nods are rumored, as you might expect.

But, be aware that this is Read More

Letter to the Editor: New Tagline Should Reflect Community

By LINDA GOFORTH
Los Alamos

Los Alamos has not lost its identity, and besides the “Where Discoveries are Made” any tagging should be kept to the reality with clarity.

We are still about people, science, education, art, and nature. 

This has been the gist since there was a Boys’ School, not only the looming laboratory. Simply a complete community is what we are, growing and discovering. Read More
