3.  Eli Manning will call signals in his second Super Bowl this weekend.  His dad, Archie Manning, was an NFL star in his own right and recently sat for a video interview with KRQE News 13 Sports Director Van Tate and Weekend Sports Anchor Lawrence Gilligam for an installment of Van Tate’s Sports Office.

2.  The Albuquerque Museum off Mountain Road NW in Old Town is mining its permanent collection on social satire and commentary for an exhibition on display through April 8.  The items are by artists from T.C. Cannon and Betty Hahn to Jose Clemente Orozco and Andy Warhol “who comment on society by drawing attention to injustice or by poking fun at the human condition.”

1.  The death of a homeless woman hit two Albuquerque police officers hard.  They had been working with Brenda Sullivan to get her off the streets, and she was within days of moving into her own place when she was murdered.  KRQE News 13 reporter Tim Maestas tells the officers’ story in an On Special Assignment report tonight at 10 p.m.  For an earlier report on Sullivan’s death, click here.
