...that interested in the daughter herself, they do get a chance to look at Galileo at an unusually intimate distance. This "relive the life" approach demands a book very different from, for example The New, New Thing. Small details matter, whereas no one is too concerned what technology wizard Jim Clark had for lunch every day (Lombardi had a daily hamburger) or where Mankind happened to grow up.

...start of a show, all right. Lu Cont and Reynolds had chemistry and were having a laugh camping it up, shrugging their shoulders to the beat. In the background was a blown up version of his album cover, with lighting set to highlight lu Cont's flaming crimson hair.
