Michael Carey, 32, is an Iowa farmer and poet ("The thing about farming is there is nothing between you and the world") who one day soon will fold his beloved notebook of verse and go down to his cornfields to meet his neighbor Jim Anderzhon. Anderzhon will be there in his John Deere 6620 SideHill combine. Carey cannot afford a combine of his own, so he hires his neighbor's machine. The two will talk the quiet talk of farmers for a few minutes, looking at the breathtaking beauty of abundance. Then, in the huge stillness of dawn along...

She did not even pose for her most famous painting; the figure's torso is Betsy's. But the work was honest in its essentials, and it established Wyeth's world as a place...
...picture of bustling, cheerful life on the surface of dire poverty and sickness invents completely the characters of Madjid's family and makes the audience care about them. Madjid's mother, Maika, bubbles over with the life-force that feeds and clothes her five young children, Madjid and the neighbor's child, as well as taking care of her husband, who has apparently had a stroke that has rendered him helpless. The contrast between Maika's helathy cheer and her husband's thin and trembling weakness portrays the conflict within the family more effectively than any verbal explanation of their...
