The Story

The director of a Louisiana animal sanctuary talks about retired National Institutes of Health Chimps, including 51-year-old Rita.

Clive Farrin is a lobsterman who has lived his whole life in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. He loves being on the water and the independence of fishing. Like other lobstermen, Clive is struggling to pay his bills, but he's determined not to give up on the job he loves. Also in this show: inside a mortgage call center.

This is the time of year when ice fishing begins in earnest. Imagine this: a brutal winter in Minnesota, 35 degrees below zero, winds howling. And there are 30 men pulling a seine fishing net a mile long and 12 feet deep by hand under the ice. Curt Piechowski is one of the last surviving members of a hardy Polish immigrant family that developed that thriving business.

There's a project underway to identify a type of American Elm that's resistant to Dutch Elm disease. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is asking people across the country to help them identify healthy trees.
