...volumes on the shelves filling an entire wall of the office provide the first clue: The Golden Age of Science, Human Aspects of Biomedical Innovation, Familiar Medical Quotations, and copies of The American Historical Review. They are not your typical scientific journals. But, then, Everett I. Mendelsohn, professor of the History of Science and the owner of these and hundreds of other similarly titled tomes, is not your typical scientist.

"They were very despondent," said FBI Agent Bill Hayes, "mostly because they missed their families...
...marriage to dreams of success and security. Clearly, Jack and Wendy are incompatible, yet have pursued their marriage for Danny's sake, damaging him in the process, for he can see their deepest thoughts. Jack's impotence--America's impotence in the face of past horrors--provides one clue to the decline of their relationship.
