...former cultural correspondent for TIME in London, Judson spent nearly a decade immersing himself in molecular biology's opaque literature, learning its special language and nuances and, above all, interviewing its major figures. As he describes his visits with scientists in the lab, listening to their rambling explanations and even lunching with them at their homes, he seems to record every murmur and move, even the labels of the wines on their tables...
Murphy, who as Cook County's public guardian is responsible for legally incompetent wards of the state, responded with further charges.
