...November, a rust-colored mountain of barley looks as if it has spilt out from the silos at Moree's southern end. The barley will need to be cleared quickly, says Andrew Dahlstrom, 31, an AES worker who has spent most of his life in the town. "The wheat harvest is about to start and they'll need all the storage space available." As well, cotton has been planted and in coming weeks, under a harsh sun, teams of casual workers, known as "chippers," will flock to the vast fields to remove weeds from the crop. Dahlstrom, like many other...
...perfect movie version. They have visualized it, fleshed out the locations and set the pace as they either zipped through the book or scrupulously savored every word. Often they have even cast it. In the late 1930s, by the thousands, readers of Gone With the Wind demanded that Southern rogue Rhett Butler be played by that damn yankee Clark Gable. Readers are a very possessive bunch. So in taking a novel from page to screen, movie adapters must tread carefully, like a new visitor at Lourdes...

The Shot Trot retains the shotgun's basic shape but replaces its railroad-style rooms with an airier, more open-plan layout. Just 16 ft. by 80 ft., it's perfect for narrow inner-city lots. And to cut cost and complexity, it uses standard component sizes, like...
DIED. ADRIAN ROGERS, 74, three-term president of the 16 million--member Southern Baptist Convention, who engineered conservatives' takeover of the group, which became a model for the Christian right; of double pneumonia and colon cancer; in Memphis. After Rogers promoted the doctrine of inerrancy--or literal truth of the Bible--the convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S., boycotted the Walt Disney Co. because of its nondiscrimination policies toward gays and lesbians and declared that wives should "graciously submit" to their husbands...
