...empathy, and our skepticism to sorrow. The special place of Nachtwey's photography is the realm beyond the contrived, where even jaded media-hounds cannot escape the pathos. The starvation in the Sudan and in Somalia is impossible to stage, and the subjects are too weak to strike a pose. We see the stick-men dying in the streets and we cannot look away...
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you: On Thursday, the scion of the Ford Motor Company made the startling admission that sport utility vehicles could pose a serious risk other motorists and (gasp!) the environment.

The script seems to pose questions: What happens if the Winklers struck it rich? What happens to people when they achieve their dreams?
