...deal became known as the "Cornhusker Kickback," and Nelson was roundly mocked. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose state is in serious financial trouble that could be exacerbated by a Medicaid expansion, said in his recent State of the State address that Nebraska "got the corn and we got the husk...
Elliott and Steenburgen lend a human dimension to the roles of a small-town sheriff and his wife. The ease with which they inhabit these characters suggests that somewhere inside the charred husk of The Morgans is the premise for an O.K. movie, or maybe a sitcom, about two middle-aged marrieds who give shelter and wisdom to outsiders on the lam.

For me-and it's very emotional-it was the winning look from the very first episode of the very first season, when we took the designers to a Gristedes grocery store and Austin Scarlett made a dress out of corn husks. It was the closest to couture as a corn husk in America could possibly get. On the fashion front, it was the collaboration of Christian Soriano and Chris March on Season 4, the avant-garde challenge. That dress was magnificent...
