Climate of Fear
Remembering the McCarthy Era
Is it Happening Again?
Taos Seniors share their memories of the Senator Joe McCarthy Era, 1950 - 1954, and the hearings of the House of Un-American Activities (HUAC), from before World War Two until 1975. Many in Taos were greatly hurt by this period of black-listing, demagoguery, baseless defamation, and mudslinging, fueled by fear of Communism.

Arroyo Hondo Land Grant Federal Suit Dismissed
Federal Court Judge M. Christina Armijo dismissed the Arroyo Hondo Land Grant title company suit on Aug 30 for lack of standing. Title Company plaintiffs showed no damage. The land owners them selves were not party to the suit, and they are the ones that would have the damage, and should have been the plaintiffs.
