The Art of Interrupted Lives

By Ellen Grimm on Friday, February 1, 2008.

A traveling art exhibit has stopped at St. Anselm College in Manchester. It's called "Interrupted Life: Incarcerated Women in the United States,” and presents the experience of being a mother in jail.

Most of the work is by professional artists but there are several pieces by inmates themselves, including some in New Hampshire.

NHPR Correspondent Ellen Grimm attended the recent opening at the College's Chapel Art Center and files this report.

The Patriots Have Gone to His Head

By Shannon Mullen on Friday, February 1, 2008.

On Sunday millions of fans will crowd in front of their TV sets to watch the New England Patriots take on the New York Giants in the Superbowl.

For those few hours, a large part of America becomes part of the epic struggle to dominate the NFL.

They wear their team's colors and taunt friends and co-workers rooting for the opposing team.

For some, you could call it an obsession.

NHPR Correspondent Shannon Mullen reports on one Laconia fan who has let his team's record-setting success go to his head.
