I ran over to the news conference held by Governor Richardson upon his arrival back from the Sudan. He delivered National Geographic Reporter Paul Salopek back to New Mexico after he had been imprisoned. The Governor also affected the release of Salopek's two assistants. The Governor, Salopek's wife Linda Lynch, Chicago Tribune Editor Anne Marie Lipinskie and others arrived back after many hours in the air on a private jet donated for the trip by R.D. Hubbard of Ruidoso.
The Governor and Salopek appeared happy and relieved to be back in New Mexico. This was an impressive rescue of a New Mexican from a dangerous and far away place.
