D. Brian Burghart: "I do hope you understand about me seeing other doctors..."
Dear Folks,
Our cover story this week is a "Dear John" letter from Brian Burghart
to his physician, spelling out his exasperations with conventional medicine.
Elsewhere in this edition, Bob Grimm will review the DisneyNature
movie Chimpanzee, Ben Garrido test drives three eco-friendly cars and
reports the results, and Kelsey Bauder gives a listen to the alt band
Merkin. In our "15 Minutes" feature, repeat bestselling writer Sally
Denton discusses her new book which describes an attempted coup
d'etat against the U.S. government in 1933. In Green, Ashley
Hennefer writes about problems with those new smart meters that
calculate your power bills. James DeHaven profiles city council
candidate Kitty Jung. Kris Vagner describes an upcoming bicycle art
show. We'll also tell you about a Sparks showing of a restored silent
movie classic, Wings, which won the first best picture Oscar and
starred Nevadan Clara Bow.
Thank you for reading us. Without you, we'd be trying herbs and berries, too.
Take care,
Dennis Myers
News editor,
