...least the mutation happens slowly, very slowly actually, in this breeding ground called college. You don't even realize it's happening, most of the time. It's a conspiracy, I tell you. Everyone seems to be playing along (drugged into submission most likely), but paranoid conspiracy theory freaks like me know better. We don't buy into it for one second...
...Global balloon team may face yet another earthbound political threat: The winds are taking their craft straight toward the world's most closed and paranoid nation, North Korea.

His sole ally, Brill, a former government operative who has turned into a rogue counterintelligence specialist, is played by Gene Hackman as a funny, cranky imitation--right down to the horn-rimmed glasses--of the snoop he played so memorably in The Conversation almost 25 years ago.
