...August 1998 Bill Richardson took over Energy from Federico Pena. Soon after, Richardson demanded that the FBI polygraph Lee. He passed, but Richardson suspended his security clearance and moved Lee out of sensitive areas. The Secretary then approved a security crackdown urged by Ed Curran, a former FBI counterespionage specialist hired the previous February to shape up Energy's counterintelligence program.

Main character Dr. Humberto Fuentes (Federico Luppi) undergoes an overblown process of discovery in which we are invited to partake: nasty secret things happening and happen after civil strife. Again, no one can fault Sayles for noble motives, and obviously the story itself merits only the most serious consideration, but Sayles moves much better from family...
