Bahar (Hulya Kocygigit) loves Hassan and is even willing to forego the man's traditional dowry payment to marry him. Ossman wants Bahar, not only for his own gratification but for work in his fields. Once Hassan is in jail, Ossman forces himself on Bahar. The film moves slowly towards the brothers' inevitable face-off and an abrupt, violent denoument...

The figure comes from the Department of Agriculture's booklet, "The Hired Farm Working Force of 1970," which Mr. Ferrara will find in the Business School library. It includes base pay, piece work, and all other forms of cash payment, and is an average only over the days the worker can find employment.

...move his wife and four children out of the two-bedroom, $14,900 mobile home that they have owned near Dulles Airport in Virginia for just over a year. Mearson has his eye on a handsome, $64,000 town house, and he has even saved enough for a down payment. But now he finds that inflation has driven the monthly carrying costs way beyond the limits of his budget. "I can't afford to pay those interest rates, and you can't sell anything any more," he says, referring to his present abode. "I'm afraid...
