Their most delicious films (Fargo, O Brother, Where Art Thou?) are populated by curiously likable boneheads, obsessively committed to miscreant conspiracies far too complex for them to really master. Opposing them are thwarting figures like Marva (or Marge, Fargo's immortally sensible, pregnant, smart police chief) who appear at first glance to be simple souls but are, in fact, the salt of our earth--folks who have so internalized their morality that it comes out as just plain common sense, funnily understated. They can be bamboozled, but not for long. When eventually they...
...blouse and skirt, is busily tending to Ryan, 2 1/2, and Brendan, 11 months, at their home in the leafy Edgebrook neighborhood of Chicago. Both boys are sobbing because Reilly, the beefy family dog, knocked Ryan over. In a blur of calm, purposeful activity, Nevins, who is 8 months pregnant, shoves the dog out into the backyard, changes Ryan's diaper on the family-room rug, heats farina in the microwave and feeds Brendan cereal and sliced bananas while crooning Open, Shut Them to encourage the baby to chew.

Spotted through her day are blessed moments of relief or dark thoughts of escape...

Her boyfriend at the time, Andre Moore, says he pressed his ear against Correa's naked, bulging belly and felt kicking. So what happened to the baby Correa seemed to be carrying? Says Moore: "I have no idea." He said he learned Aaliyah was not his child when he requested a paternity test in 1999. The Philadelphia city council will...
...responded. The morning after her first night of rape, three years ago, Debbie went to the camp commander to ask for medical help. She was punished for complaining. "He told me the rape is part of training," she says. Eight months later Debbie discovered she was pregnant; more recently she discovered that she is HIV positive. Her 1-year-old daughter Nunus leaps around happily, unaware of the horrific circumstances in which her life came about. Debbie is likely to be dead before the child grows up. Two weeks ago, she sent a friend in South Africa an SMS message...
