...script, written by William Goldman, King veteran who also wrote the adaptation of Misery, flows beautifully and elegantly and is perfectly suited for Hopkins. The direction and script, joined with the late Piotr Sobocinski’s cinematography, reaches its height in climactic scenes that have an almost Technicolor glory to them, quite appropriate for the film’s 1950s spy drama atmosphere. Hopkins seems built for the part of Braughtigan, the enigmatic but elegant friend to Bobby. The unquenchable curiosity of Anton Yelchin’s Bobby plays perfectly against Hopkins’ mystique.

...businessman and budgeteer; many hoped that in a time of surpluses, O?Neill would lead a long-awaited common-sense assault on the tax code and government spending.

But she has helped open the door wider for other scientists to explore, and given hope and new ideas to researchers studying various conditions--from drug abuse to Parkinson's--that affect memory. Psychologists in particular respect Goldman-Rakic for the way she is constantly trying to bring psychology and biology closer together--thinking about the mind as a whole even while she is looking through a microscope...
...Goldman-Rakic is as driven as a junior researcher just out of grad school. Her next goal? "A theory of [the entire cerebral] cortical functional architecture down to the level of individual neurons and functional circuits would be very nice," she says. Nice, indeed...
