When producers of CBS's hit drama CSI: Miami considered locales for the first episode of the new season, Rio de Janeiro was a natural. The Brazilian megalopolis--a city associated with drugs and danger--was a place where Lieutenant Horatio Caine (David Caruso) could plausibly go to solve his wife's murder, the crime that concluded last season.

That rez-to-riches tale of courage and redemption sounds like a Horatio Alger story, doesn't it? It should be a movie. Or at least an episode of A&E's Biography. Of course, I'm biased, because, well, it's my story. Kind...
