Words and Pictures - Beyond Brown Paper
By Sean Hurley on Friday, September 12, 2008.Since the pulp mill in Berlin closed several years ago, residents there have been trying to figure out what’s next for the City that Trees Built.
But Plymouth State University is working on a project that spotlights Berlin’s past.

10/12/2008
After six months without a president, the situation in Lebanon is shaky at best. Situated at the crossroads of East and West, its highly sectarian population is no stranger to conflict. Lebanon has endured decades of infighting, and has often served as the battleground where wider conflicts in Middle East violently play out. We’ll explore the roots of Lebanon’s instability, and take a look back at America’s failed attempt to bring peace to Lebanon in the 1980s.
