Working It Out Live: Have We Changed?
By Jon Greenberg on Friday, November 20, 2009.
They call this the Great Recession - and it could have been a great depression without a massive infusion of cash. Technically speaking the recession is over - after 21 months and 7 million fewer jobs. Most economists predict a long slow recovery is ahead. All this week we've been asking if we're making different choices because we're wiser or because the economy limits our choices. In our second monthly live program, we'll hear about the lessons we've learned - or not learned - from this recession and what it means for the future. 1 comment

By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, November 25, 2009.
Massachusetts gets a lot of credit around the founding of Thanksgiving, but what many don’t know is the role New Hampshire played. Our state’s first permanent resident, David Thompson, helped Miles Standish and many of the Pilgrims survive a few years after their historic feast. Then there’s Sarah Josepha Hale, who lobbied for over twenty years to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. We’ll learn more about New Hampshire’s role in this cherished holiday as well as how we’ve celebrated it over the years. Guests

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, November 24, 2009.
Since the beginning of time, human beings have been making tools to make life easier, better, faster or more efficient, but is that always a good thing? Are human beings happier today, whether individually or collectively, because of telephones, washing machines, text-messaging cell-phones, and iPods?
