Pickard is a realist. A Quaker missionary's son, he didn't try to fight Airborne about the contamination; he started watering his herd from the city's supply. His son works in Airborne's maintenance shop, and Pickard himself makes extra money plowing snow for the company. He can use the cash, since the 15 parcels he farms, comprising 58 acres he owns and an additional 1,400 he rents or leases, net him just $9,000 a year. "Basically, you have to be numb," he says.

...fore-shadowings to the giggling Maenads. Likewise, the perpetually-talented Epstein manages to make his bitter tirade against Agave ring with the pain of a noble ruler disappointing his people, yet he also lashes out in furious anguish at his childlike daughter for the mess she and her disbelieving son have created...
