There will be no Exchange broadcast for today due to our coverage of the Senate Armed Services Committee hearings regarding the abuses at Abu Ghraib. The hearings begin at 9:30am and will be hosted by hosted by Weekend Edition Saturday host Scott Simon, with Washington editor Ron Elving and NPR's intelligence correspondent, Mary Louise Kelly. Tonight's rebroadcast of the Exchange will be replaced for tonight only by news from the BBC. The Exchange resumes tomorrow where we will talk about the landmark Supreme Court case "Brown vs. Board of Education" 50 years later. Our show on the "State of our Oceans" has been postponed to a later date either this week or next. Stay tuned!

Bardeen?s story is told in True Genius: The Life and Science of John Bardeen. One of the co-authors, Canterbury resident Vicki Daitch, joins John to talk about his remarkable contributions to humanity and why he is largely forgotten.

New Hampshire's growing season is coming, and farmers are getting ready .

And across the state, more consumers are signing up for weekly produce deliveries from their community farms.

The farms are part of a growing movement called Community Supported Agriculture.

For a fee, consumers become members of CSA farms.

Those farms, in exchange, provide members with fresh produce.

But in Hollis, a group of residents is organizing a new kind of community farm.

New Hampshire Public Radio Correspondent Shannon Mullen reports.
