Grass Roots Activists Push for Paul

By Dan Gorenstein on Wednesday, July 18, 2007.

When Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama come to New Hampshire it is headline news.

But in a crowded field of more than 18 presidential candidates it's difficult to garner much attention as a lesser known politician.

A group of driven activists who support Republican Congressman Ron Paul believe with a little more exposure their guy will become a top-tier contender.

New Hampshire Public Radio's Dan Gorenstein has the story.

Where Food Comes From

By John Rudolph on Wednesday, July 18, 2007.

More and more people are becoming concerned with where their food is coming from, how safe it is and how they can best navigate the food world. We'll take a look at the policies around imported foods, including a movement to have so-called country of origin labeling applied to foods and also look at the trade-off between demand for certain kinds of food and how far supermarkets have to go to get them onto their shelves, especially in the off-season.

Guests

  • Patty Lovera, Assistant Director for Food & Water Watch in Washington, D.C. She works on the food team, especially on meat inspection and mad cow disease, country of origin labeling, and dairy issues.
  • Dr. Joanne Burke, Director of the Dietetic Internship Program and Clinical Assistant Professor of Animal and Nutritional Sciences at UNH. She is also an Advisory Member of the UNH Food and Society Initiative of the UNH Office of Sustainability and a founding member of the UNH New Hampshire Center for a Food Secure Future.

Love and the Lebanese Hostage Crisis

By Liz Bulkley on Tuesday, July 17, 2007.

Lee Blessing's play "Two Rooms" was awarded Time Magazine's "Best Play of 1988." It tells the story of an American professor who is kidnapped by Shiites, and the efforts on the part of his wife to secure his release. It raises questions about love when conflict keeps two people apart and serves as a reflection of issues related to terrorism and human dignity that are timely today. We'll talk with Director Bryan Halperin of Winnipesaukee Playhouse and actors Megan Gaffney who plays the role of Lainey and Andy Nogasky who plays the role of Michael, her hostage husband in an upcoming production of "Two Rooms" about the work's relevance. We'll also talk with Joseph Hitti, a former American University of Beirut graduate student, whose experiences in that city during the 1980's mirror the sense of fear and uncertainty apparent in "Two Rooms."

The online audio for this program is an extended version of the program broadcast on July 18, 2007.
