In 1985 there was a poster on the wall of a restaurant in Las Cruces that caused me to smile. “On this spot 100 years ago, nothing happened.” Actually, in the then New Mexico territory in Las Cruces, a lot was happening for everyone.

When you think of a magazine, you probably envision a fairly flimsy object comprised of ads making up 70% of its pages, and destined for the garbage having read it pool-side on your most recent vacation.
