...guess I’d say I have a curiosity about them. This habit came from my dad. He was in the cattle business and he used to always carry a notebook in case he saw a sick cow or broken fence, so that he’d remember to get somebody to go take care of it. When I started running for governor in 1977 I was being overwhelmed with information and so at that point I took this habit and tried to organize it on a more consistent basis.

...hate to admit it, but my dad was right. During my teenage years he warned of the three evils of college life: drugs, drinking, and, worst of all, staying up late.

I suspect that the show will go into ever less plausible contortions to take her out of the courtroom and into crime scenes. But it may be that viewers will not care. It's a big, spooky country, and Bruckheimer knows far better than...
