...less exalted episodes in Wallace's career, the time four years ago when 60 Minutes suppressed its story on Jeffrey Wigand, a tobacco-industry whistle blower. Mann's film moves on two tracks. One is the anguished dealings between Wigand and Lowell Bergman, a 60 Minutes producer who is leash holder and hand holder for the tormented Wigand.

Doyle, however, is always in control. His sentences lunge but never break the leash, animated by wild but wise high spirits. "God waited for no baby in the slums. He took them back as soon as He'd given them, but He threw them away if their souls were still stained. He delivered them soiled but expected them back spotless."

I was going to tell him just to wait for a leash company to get rid of some old leashes, but I really wanted the phone. I'm not even planning on using it to tattle. Whenever I see a dog owner, I'm going to talk loudly and obnoxiously about how I just bought a cell phone and this...
