Working together
The NH statehouse was narrowly divided last session, yet both parties collaborated on the budget. NH House Majority Leader Jason Osborne (R) discusses with colleagues that unusual camaraderie. "This particular environment was a lot different from what anyone had experienced before," he said. "Everybody was simultaneously happy and not happy. That's when you know you've got a pretty good budget."

No denying death
Alzheimer's activist Darryll Rudy walks the talk. The St. Johnsbury, VT, resident has the disease. In this presentation, he and others confront death head on.
