On the Spot column insensitive

It was with both pleasure and pain that I read the July 9 issue of the Summer Wildcat. As an employee of the Arizona State Museum and a graduate of the UA Department of Anthropology, I enjoyed the terrific coverage and photos of ASM's summer archaeological excavations at Chevelon.

I was expecting a huge party, lots of music and dancing, and little sleep. And I knew that the people who run through the town's streets every morning for eight days alongside 10 bulls are putting their lives at risk. But I wasn't expecting that, right in front of me, I'd witness something that would remind me so powerfully of how fragile life can be. [Read article]
