For novelist Craig Nova, it sparked an interest in the thoughts, fears, and feelings of the people involved.

He talks about his new novel and his adventures in the book business. Unemployment High in Salem and PlaistowBy David Darman on Tuesday, June 29, 2004.The state's latest unemployment figures hold some surprising news.

NH Delegation Fully Supports War in IraqBy Priscilla Huff on Tuesday, June 29, 2004.In a surprise move, the Coalition Provisional Authority Monday handed over sovereignty to the Iraqi transitional government two days earlier than planned. It was one of the few things that have gone as planned as the Bush Administration expanded the war against terrorism to Iraq last year. Yet, despite everything that has gone wrong with the war in Iraq, New Hampshire's Congressional delegation remains supportive of the decision to go to war. NHPR Correspondent Priscilla Huff reports from Washington. The Church and PoliticsBy Laura Knoy on Monday, June 28, 2004.The church always plays a role in presidential elections, as candidates tout their faith and court religious groups. This year's race is no exception. In fact, events like Bush's recent request to the Vatican to rally religious leaders behind him, or the move by some Catholic bishops to deny pro-choice politicians, like John Kerry, communion have some wondering if the line separating church and state has been crossed. However, others argue that it's just political and religious leaders doing their job and suggest our culture has become too secular. We'll discuss it, and we'll ask why religion is taking on such importance in both the Bush and Kerry campaigns. Laura's guests are Dr. Ann Riggs, theologian and associate professor in the department of religious studies at Rivier College in Nashua and Linda Feldmann, staff writer at the Christian Science Monitor. We will also hear from Father Richard John Neuhaus, editor of First Things Magazine, the Journal of Religious and Public Life, and Reverend Mary Wellemeyer, pastor at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Manchester. Howard DeanBy John Walters on Monday, June 28, 2004.Howard Dean, former Governor of Vermont and presidential candidate, had an unexpected rise to front-runner status and an equally rapid fall. Since the end of the Presidential Primaries, Howard Dean has focused his attention on reviving the Democratic Party from the ground up, just as Republicans have done in recent years. He joins John Walters to talk about his bid for the presidency, Democracy for America, and he tells his story of "The Scream."

Professor of Political Science with a focus on Latin America at How to Run for OfficeBy Trish Anderton on Sunday, June 27, 2004.Running for office is an intimidating prospect, even in New Hampshire, where voting districts tend to be small.
