Touchdown! Greaser!
For those who may not have heard, the Rocky Mountain News in Denver published their final edition yesterday, just two months shy of their 150th anniversary.
"Why should I care about a newspaper in Denver going under?", you might ask. I just heard about it the other day and realized I had read some good stories on their web site over the years, but in reading some of their "best of" stuff I see why their readers are so upset over the closing.
These two articles are almost on the same subject, but both should be read. They are not short, but they are very much worthwhile:
Final Salute, published Nov. 11, 2005
Wake for an Indian warrior, published Jan. 21, 2006
There's quite a bit of other stuff there too: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/
