Symbol v. Symbol. Chevrolet Dealer McKay and Lawyer Morse were never meant to be friends. McKay slogged his way up through Oregon's G.O.P. ranks, from mayor of Salem to the state senate to governor.

But his first struggling attempts to set down this world of nature met with little popular success. Ever self-doubting, Burchfield decided to turn to realistic paintings of the world...
...Star Farmer, Hunter Roy Greenlaw, found himself at 16, when his father died, running his family farm near Fredericksburg, Va.; he has built up his property from 385 acres and a few dairy cattle to nearly 800 acres and a herd of 200 Herefords.
