Does the name Amy Sutherland sound familiar? Perhaps in 2006 you were one of a gazillion people who were forwarded her personal essay "What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage," which ended up becoming the New York Times' most e-mailed article of the year. That story, born out of her experience working with students at a place she calls "the Harvard for exotic animal training," detailed the discovery that she could train her husband, Scott, just as she learned to train dolphins. Movie offers, television appearances and a barrage of emails followed, not to mention a book contract...

...white paper fading into darkness and VES professor Ruth Lingford’s ghostly animations are intercut with interviews and newsreel footage, suggesting the simultaneous erasure and cataloging of occult information. As the filmmakers delve deeper into their murky subject matter, the music grows more ominous and the sound stages on which the interviews are filmed darken with layered shadows.Galison and Moss coax surprisingly frank admissions from a dozen people whose lives have been steeped in secrets. These confessions are given in an almost uniformly even-handed, rational tone that betrays their gravity. As Melissa Boyle Mahle, former CIA Chief...
