UNH professor tells the history of chemistry

By John Walters on Wednesday, May 9, 2001.

Art Greenberg is Dean of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of New Hampshire. In his book, "A Chemical History Tour," he tells the history of chemistry, and its evolution from a quasi-mystical field into a hard science. The book grew out of his own fascination with rare, old chemistry books, and the artwork he found in them.

Corn is popping out all over!

By John Walters on Wednesday, May 9, 2001.

Leo and Priscilla Dube of Henniker retired a few years ago. He was a veterinarian; she was an educator. They've started a post-retirement business, White Mountain Kettle Corn. They make popcorn in a large steel kettle, heated by a propane flame -- they modestly call it "the world's best popcorn." They bring their kettle to outdoor events through the summer, and also sell popcorn through their website.
