While the question of what it means to create something new is certainly interesting, there is hardly a duller medium with which to address it than a drama that focuses on windshield wipers. The tale of the little guy who tries to bring the big company to justice is not an unfamiliar one. In “Erin Brockovich,” Julia Roberts plays a single mom who takes a power company to task...
