		<description><![CDATA[BY KENNY BELFORD It&#8217;s now official. Gov. Mary Fallin, winner of the &#8220;Sheeples’ Choice Award,&#8221; has now signed into law the open-carry bill. It&#8217;s now legal, perhaps even socially acceptable, to get your six-shooter and boldly strap it on your hip before you head out for some errand running. At least according to state Sen.

		<description><![CDATA[BY RICHARD L. FRICKER It was very strange to hear about the death of Carlos Fuentes. Frankly, I hadn&#8217;t read anything of his work in years. But there must have been some comfort just knowing he was there. I actually met him once, very briefly at a lecture he was giving in Fort Worth. Funny [...]]]></description>
