Governor's Summer Reading List

The Governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, took time out from his heavy summer schedule of talks with the North Koreans to pick up a good read. Sources tell us that he was seen adding The Whole Damned World to his summer reading list.

The Whole Damned World: New Mexico Aggies at War 1941-1945 is a collection of the World War II correspondence of NMSU Dean Daniel B. Jett. The book, compiled by archivist Martha Andrews, was recently published by Rio Grande Books in collaboration with the New Mexico State University Library.

For more information, contact Andrews at (575) 646-5028.
