Bujold has the frazzled hauteur of an aging, neglected star, and Spelling is nicely glazed, studiously artless. But the film is keyed to Posey's performance: perfectly brittle, faultlessly false. As the most toxic of this family of vipers, she creeps and stings, and no one dares look away...
...some government scientists. But the favorable treatment bestowed on the firm did not end there. Well-publicized plant visits by Gore and the department's environmental cleanup czar, Thomas Grumbly, sent its stock sharply higher.

The book paints Stone as a holy freak--part Ahab, part Ken Kesey...
...parasite with a microscope, and Dr. Charles Donovan demonstrated that specimens could be extracted from the spleen. In their honor, the deadly parasite is called Leishmania donovani. Variants of kala-azar are found in southern Europe and South America. A complex treatment involving daily injections of a potentially toxic, antimony-based compound (as in the drug Pentostam) has been available for a half-century...
