...safe in Croatia, Marijana, 17, stuttered out the terrible events of last April. After raping her and her mother, Serb irregulars carried Marijana off to a camp in the forest, where she and a group of other women were raped repeatedly over several weeks.

No one at the hospital has been brave enough to tell her that...

...that time the plowman and his instrument were rooted in the American myth, a symbol of hard work, virtue and abundance that fed and freed most other Americans for pursuits beyond the farm. Plows of mounting complexity and size were hooked behind teams of oxen and horses and then to crude steam engines. In 1894 Nebraskan Sterling Morton, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, decreed that the great seal of the Department of Agriculture would no longer have a shock of wheat in the center; it would have a shock of corn -- and a plow...
