Sante Fe, New Mexico?

[Joel S. Berson]

How to check spelling when one is creating a crossword puzzle:

The Boston Globe crossword puzzle, August 11, crosses the last letter
of "Composer's swimming technique?" (bachstroke) with the 5th letter
of "Capital of New Mexico" (Sante Fe).

Google hits:
      Sante Fe New Mexico - 46,400,000
      Santa Fe New Mexico - 43,500,000

But:
      "Sante Fe" New Mexico -      496,000
      "Santa Fe" New Mexico - 38,300,000

(For those who don't want to consult their Times Atlas of the World,
it's Santa Fe, New Mexico, but Sante Fe, Argentina.)
