Don Wiley was the bigshot DNA sequencer at Harvard whose disappearance made people start to wonder if somebody hadn&#8217;t made a list, and in the chaos post 9/11 begun to work thru it. In defense of Mother Nature, as it were.]]></description>

Both men offer practical containment ideas that should be used and don&#8217;t understand the government&#8217;s inaction. And both assert at length that the little geyser we&#8217;ve been watching on TV is not the prime leak.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Magnificent. Must see. Glorious black and white. Gloriously and utterly un-American. One recalls why, when we were young, people thought film was a serious art. It&#8217;s a psychological whodunit, to begin. So it&#8217;s natural the reviews would focus on the puzzles. Even so &#8230; Spoiler Alert.
