T
he woman in the aisle was hesitating between two blouses, one soft and slinky, the other buff and businesslike. She looked closely at the clothing again, peered at the price tags, and gave in. “After all, it’s all for the animals,” she said to herself as she headed for the cash register. She was browsing the racks at Barkin’ Boutique, a resale store of the Española Valley Humane Society in a shopping area just north of the DeVargas Center.

Susana Martinez to be her secretary of the state Department of Finance and Administration, Rick May, a self-described budget nerd, considered it to be a dream job. He didn’t even mind taking a $25,000 pay cut to do it. But just a month and a half into Martinez’s administration, May was seriously thinking of resigning. May didn’t actually leave the DFA until late August 2011, when he went Rick May to work as chief executive officer of the New Mexico Finance Authority, a quasi-public agency designed to help local governments secure low-interest bonds for major projects. But in an interview last week, May described his tenure in the Martinez administration as a miserable time, in which he routinely was cut out of important decisions concerning the state budget, excluded from meetings, and endured what he says was a lack of communication from the Fourth Floor. “I was excluded from everything,” May said. During Martinez’s first legislative session, he said, “Legislators were coming up to me and saying, ‘Hey, we were at this budget meeting. Why weren’t you there?’ ” I was told of budget meetings, and I’d say, ‘I’d like to be invited,’ and then I’d get a call [from the governor’s staff] saying, ‘Well, no, you’re not invited.’ ” Even though he wasn’t being allowed to

JERUSALEM — Parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls are up for sale — in tiny pieces. Nearly 70 years after the discovery of the world’s oldest biblical manuscripts, the Palestinian family who originally sold them to scholars and institutions is now quietly marketing the leftovers — fragments the family says it has kept in a Swiss safe deposit box all these years. Most of these scraps are barely postagestamp-sized, and some are blank. But in the last few years, evangelical Christian collectors and institutions in the U.S. have
