From the dj: It's an old New England custom to delight in the fine old institution, which is New England itself. From Maine through Connecticut, New England continues its adulation of New England weather, haunted houses, strange gods, longevity, churchyard literature, and New England's gift to all the states of the Union - turkey and cranberry sauce. But although it is difficult to admit that some of the good things in life have passed, we can still hark back with Mr. Mitchell to the glorious days of pie for breakfast, giant cheese, bundling, and the glorious world of as we were. This is an enchanting book for anyone who has no more than stepped on New England soil, and an essential family album for every New Englander. . more information

From the Wikipedia website: "The Blizzard of 1978 (more commonly known in New England as "Blizzard of '78") was a severe Nor'easter that brought blizzard conditions to the New England area of the United States, and to a lesser but still significant extent the New York metropolitan area. A storm that occurred in the Great Lakes region during 1978 is called the Great Blizzard of 1978, though the two are not the same. The Blizzard of 1978 formed on February 5, 1978, and broke up on February 8, 1978. The snowfall occurred primarily between the morning of 6th and the evening of 7th. Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts were particularly hard hit by this storm. In all, up to 55 inches of snow fell in some areas. At the time, there was no comparable storm in the memory of the people of New England, though the Blizzard of 1888 and the Great Snow of 1717 were named as storms that were similar in their magnitude." . more information

From the dj: Out of the past comes an example of a life lived to the fullest, in adherence to the qualities most admired at a time when America was young. The life of Napoleon Hubert Gilbert, known as 'NH', takes us back, deep into the 19th century and on into the 20th century. For his admiring grandson, and the author of this fictionalized biography, whose life he profoundly influenced, NH or Grandpa, was a trailblazer, showing his grandson unmistakably the way to a truly good life. Hard times in Quebec of the 1870s drove 11 year old NH and his family from their farmland to New Hampshire. A willing and hard-working youngster, NH helps support the family and begins to make his way in the world. Later, disappointment comes when he is not accepted by the parents of Annie Charrette, the only girl he has ever loved. He continues to love her from afar, when she weds another and becomes the mother of three daughters, loving her even during her year of mourning after her husband dies. But will she accept him after this? This story is completely absorbing, with the mellow flavor of life in the late 19th century. Continuing into the second and third generations, it is a vivid historical novel. About the author: Dr. Roland G.

In the Fractured Electorate, John White traces the rise of a new social and cultural agenda in American politics, using Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island as a basis for analyzing how political parties are coping with these new trends in the post-modern era. This new political agenda has had important consequences for the region's political parties, resulting in their diminishment as effective instruments of governance. White has obtained valuable firsthand material in more than 50 interviews with leading political and business activists, including Governors Dukakis, Garrahy, and O'Neill; former Governors Dempsey, Grasso, King, Licht, Noel, Sargent, and Volpe; Senators Chafee, Dodd, Kennedy, Pell, and Tsongas; House Speaker O'Neill; James Howell of the First National Bank of Boston; and RayStata of the Massachusetts High Technology Council. . more information
