Lesser-Known Presidents / New England's Best Newspapers

We're leveling the playing field for President's Day. Sure, we all know a lot about George Washington, Abe Lincoln, the Roosevelts and all our other celebrated leaders -- even the more notorious ones. But what about the presidents who fell in the middle -- the James K. Polks, if you will? We'll look at their legacies, no matter how small they may be. Our guest is Stu Wallace. He's professor of history at the New Hampshire Technical Institute.

We'll also talk about what makes a good newspaper. The New England Press Association handed out its awards recently, and Best Paper of the Year went to the Portsmouth Herald -- which won a total of 18 honors in all. We'll talk with NEPA's Executive Director, Brenda Reed.
