Skiing, Photojournalism and Gas Prices

By Liz Bulkley on Thursday, September 29, 2005.

Dorothy Crossley's new memoir, "Take My Picture!", looks back on her years as a photojournalist in New Hampshire and Cape Cod. She spent nearly half a century documenting skiing and sailing competitions during a time when there were few women in the field. She'll talk to us about how the worlds of skiing and photography have changed over the past 50 years.

We'll also check in with the state Division of Travel and Tourism to find out how high gas prices could affect this year's fall tourism season.

Ahmad's War, Ahmad's Peace

By Laura Knoy on Thursday, September 29, 2005.

NPR reporter Michael Goldfarb came to Northern Iraq two days before war began there in 2002 with an assignment "to tell the story of the war through the eyes of the Iraqi people". The man he chose was his interpreter, Ahmad Shawkat, a Kurdish professor and writer who survived Saddam Hussein's torture chambers and years in exile from his hometown of Mosul. The two struck up a friendship and six month's after Goldfarb's documentary was finished, Ahmad Shawkat was murdered for his criticism of Islamic intolerance and violence. Today on the Exchange we look back at the Iraq war through the lens of one Iraqi Kurd, Ahmad Shawkat, and the reporter who knew him so well. Laura's guest is Michael Goldfarb, former NPR reporter and author of "Ahmad's War, Ahmad's Peace: Surviving Under Saddam, Dying in the New Iraq.
