The World Institute estimates that toxic pesticides poison over 300,000 farm workers in the United States every year...
...Civil Wars is bleaker and more brutal than anything Bochco has done before: an unrelenting parade of vengeful spouses, greed, infidelity, callousness and other mental cruelties. "You're bitter, you're needy, and you're gonna poison whatever and whoever you come in contact with!" shouts a husband at the wife he wants to leave because she has gained too much weight. (She actually looks pretty good.) A rich couple bickers over custody of sterling silver soup tureens and antique snuffboxes, until a stenographer -- who is struggling to pay her son's medical bills -- blows up: "You have no idea...
