...cheap grass," to the border of Rosebud and Custer counties, just above Miles City, Mont. Mathers did not trail a herd a thousand miles across the powdery plains, fending off Kiowa and Comanche, or ford the snake-infested Nueces River. Instead, he put 200 Herefords on the Santa Fe Railroad, climbed into his blue Oldsmobile and rolled smoothly up Highway 83. He was there in two days. (Lonesome Dove's McCrae and Call took months.) Mathers bought up old homestead land for $5 to $8 an acre, quit trying to plow and plant wheat and barley, and gently coaxed back...

Such ordinary pleasures as gardening, milk shakes and fried chicken and mashed potatoes are acceptable once more. Exclusive name brands no longer carry the same cachet or inspire the same hell-bent-for-leather efforts...
...apology." The House agreed, approving a $100 million fund to aid affected families in five Southwestern states. But even if the Senate goes along, the Justice Department has urged President Bush to veto the measure as "another entitlement program." Udall, now 70 and practicing law in Santa Fe, is writing a book on Government callousness in the atomic age. The Bush Administration may provide him with another chapter...
