So we went to investigate and on the Statehouse plaza, we found a bit of history being made - or at least rewritten. |
| Intro Cross editorial Return to index of stories... |
In an opinion piece that ran today, titled "Too late to promote Colonel Cross. Historical wrongs shouldn't be righted.", Pride wrote of Cross: He was a romantic who loved Shakespeare. One of his favorite words was "humbug,"which he used to wave off life's vagaries with a wink and a smile. If he could whisper to us from the grave what he thinks of the campaign to make him a general, he might say, "A lot of good it will do me now." |

Onto National Politics -- On this Earth Day 2004, President Bush talked conservation as he rolled out a plan to create and protect some 3 -Million acres of wetlands over 5 years. The President spoke Thursday at a Research Reserve in Wells, Maine, announcing that for the first time in the nation's history, the annual net loss of wetlands on farmland has been reversed. Mr Bush is trying to shore up his environmental record against attacks by Democratic rival John Kerry. |

Kerry says the Mr Bush's industry-backed policies are contributing to more air and water pollution. In 3 short years, he says, the president has put the backs on 30-years of environmental progress. |
| Intro Opera Return to index of stories... |
Finally, something to sing about. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, nearly five percent of people in the U.S. go to the opera. And the average is nearly twice that in New Hampshire. And many of them go out of state for their opera experience. The Granite State Opera Company offers an in-state alternative. We'll tell you about an upcoming performance in a moment. But first, Chip Neal revisits a story he produced with the Granite State Opera Company 2 years ago as they prepared for a production. 10 Seconds before Crescendo |
| Granite State Opera Return to index of stories... |
Granite State Opera - We profile the GSO and meet some of the members as they rehearse for their upcoming production of opera favorites. We learn about opera and how it is put together. What is the libretto? Does it come first or after the music? What is the difference between opera and a musical? What does it take to become an opera singer? Philip Lauriat, the artistic director and Janice Edwards a mezzo-suprano answer those questions and more. And Lilliane LeBel, chairman of their board, describes how you get hooked on opera. |

| Intro Poetry Return to index of stories... |
April is National Poetry Month so in honor of that we sent producer Chip Neal out to see what is new and exciting in the world of poetry. |
| Poetry Slam Return to index of stories... |
We attend the "Slam-O-Rama" Invitational Poetry slam at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester. Organized by the New Hampshire Writer's Project this event included a slam poetry workshop and an open mike for amateur poets. And then a poetry slam with some of the top New England slam poets. Slams are competitions between poets who stand on stage and perform their poems which have to be less than 3:00 long. Then they are judged on performance and content by 5 judges selected from the audience. After 3 rounds one poet is selected the winner. We spoke with two of the slam poets who talked about the differences between regular poetry and slam poetry. And we see excerpts from some of the performances. Topics ranged from homosexuality to catholic guilt to preparing for your first real kiss. |
