ArchivesIraq Views Part 2By Dan Gorenstein on Wednesday, December 7, 2005.This week, New Hampshire Public Radio presents the views of people who have spent a significant length of time in Iraq.

He is 30 years old and a member of the National Guard who lives in Hillsborough. He experienced Iraq as a truck driver in military convoys. NHPR's Dan Gorenstein produced this report. listen:

A Warmer Connecticut River and A Look at AutismBy Shay Zeller on Wednesday, December 7, 2005.The Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant wants to increase the temperature of the water it releases into the Connecticut River. That could make part of the river warmer by one degree. That may not sound like a lot, but some worry that this could hurt local fish populations. We'll talk with a biologist to find out whether one degree should really cause much concern. Shay's guest is Keith Nislow. He's a Research Fisheries Biologist for the federal Forest Service. Later in the show we look at autism. A group of studies has refuted the suggestion that a childhood vaccine is causing the condition in some children. Researchers and experts in developmental disorders related to the central nervous system are uncertain why there's an increase in the number of autistic diagnoses. We'll talk with geneticist Dr. John Moeschler of Dartmouth Medical School about where the science and study of autism is today. listen:
Vatican II - 40 Years LaterBy Laura Knoy on Wednesday, December 7, 2005.Pope John XXIII called the Second Vatican Council, or Vatican II, a "new Pentecost in the church's life". Between October 1962 and December 1965 almost three thousand bishops and leaders in the Catholic Church met in reaction to the tremendous political, social, economic and technical changes of the time and a growing desire for modernity in the Catholic Church. Major changes resulted from Vatican II, changes in liturgy, changes in Biblical interpretation and changes in the role of bishops to name a few. We'll look back at Vatican II, the events that led up to it, the changes that came from it and the new changes that are affecting the Catholic Church today. Laura's guest is Sister Maureen Sullivan, Dominican Sister of Hope, an Associate Professor of Theology at St. Anselm College and author of "101 Questions and Answers on Vatican II" and a forthcoming book called "The Road to Vatican II: Key Changes in Theology" listen:
