Inadmissible Evidence progresses through what James Joyce called "epiphanies": episodes of cumulative revelation. The witnesses called up for Maitland's defense damn him. They are the reproofs of his decay, shadowy chroniclers of loss, rejection, betrayal and defeat. His upbraided, put-upon clerks are walking legal briefs, drawn up against Maitland's corrosive contempt for his work. His wife (Eleanor Fazan) attests Maitland's bankrupt marriage. He resorts to his sage and patient mistress (Jill Bennett), not to exchange the gift of self but to flee from self. His casual office couchmates simply represent a frantic release...

...maintenance and growth. The message for making the differentiation - specific protein is extra stable. That is, each molecule of cocoonaise - messenger RNA remains active in the cytoplasm for at least two days. By contrast, the rest of the cell's messengers only survive for a few hours. Presumably, their decay introduces flexibility in the non-specialized functions of the cell...
