The war. Health care reform. The Economy. Find out where the primary candidates stand on the issues that matter most. Plus, see which ones earned our recommendation. It's our endorsement guide, primary style. Many Albuquerque legislators are being challenged by political newbies—the candidates lobby for your vote. And some New Mexicans running for national office have their political courage questioned. The sudden stardom of Balkan brass-inspired Beirut. And nearly three-dozen metal bands tear Albuquerque a new one at the Gathering of the Sick festival. Taming the food crisis. Plus, remembering America's pre-eminent winemaker, Robert Mondavi. The crappiest toys inspired by this year's summer blockbusters. Plus, CJ7 is aimed squarely at kids, families and adults with easily triggered tear ducts. It comes complete with an alien pet. David Leigh urges art-buyers to snatch up local work before its crafters become household names. And book critics list their favorite reads of spring.   Raw posts and updates from our writers with info too timely or uncategorizable for print. What, we said something stupid?
