• Te metes en estas pequeñas ciudades de Pensilvania y, como en muchas pequeñas ciudades del Medio Oeste, los puestos de trabajo han desaparecido hace 25 años y nada los ha reemplazado. Y cayeron durante la Administración Clinton, y la Administración Bush, y cada administración sucesiva ha dicho que de alguna manera estas comunidades se van a regenerar y no ha sido así. Y no es de extrañar entonces que se amarguen, que se aferren a las armas o a la religión o a la antipatía hacia la gente que no es como ellos o al sentimiento anti-inmigración o al sentimiento anti-comercio como forma de explicar sus frustraciones.

• People don't understand rural America. Sixteen percent of our population is rural, but 40 percent of our military is rural. I don't believe that's because of a lack of opportunity in rural America. I believe that's because if you grow up in rural America, you know you can't just keep taking from the land. You've got to give something back.

• The idea of windmills conjures up pleasant images - of Holland and tulips, of rural America with windmill blades slowly turning, pumping water at the farm well ... But the windmills we are talking about today are not your grandmother's windmills. Each one is typically 100 yards tall, two stories taller than the Stature of Liberty, taller than a football field is long.

• Rural America's not coming back. That idea was lost with the Industrial Revolution. And yet with more than 80 percent of Americans living in metropolitan areas, there are still demagogues who want to run down the idea of multiculturalism, of urbanity, being the only future we have. We either live or die based on how we live in cities, and our society is either going to be great or not based on how we perform as creatures of the city.

• Una hermosa colección literaria que habla del médico rural de hoy, algo alejado de nuestra romántica imagen de bolsa negra de antaño, pero que sigue satisfaciendo una necesidad esencial en el cuidado de poblaciones dispersas. A veces, con los avances tecnológicos actuales, la medicina rural se parece mucho a la de las ciudades, pero la variedad de prácticas es enorme. The Country Doctor Revisited recoge las tribulaciones de la medicina, pero también la satisfacción y las extraordinarias recompensas que obtienen quienes se dedican a ella.
