Enemies

Nixon leaves the FBI in turmoil.  The movement toward considering terrorism as a major aspect of the FBI.  Iran/Contra. Locherbie.
   This continues to be a very balanced, thoughtful book.  It does not sugar coat the FBI's failings, nor does it revel in them.  Author makes it clear that the FBI has both infringed on rights of citizens and protected citizens.  Movement of the FBI post Hoover is in a positive direction.

Netflix Lincoln Lawyer

 Just a long yawner.  Acting was fine; there just wasn't nearly enough plot to carry 10 episodes.  Tech guy accused of killing wife.  LL takes on the case after the tech lawyer's first lawyer is murdered.  Mickey Haller gets the guy off . . . trick is the guy is guilty.  He used a drone to dispose of bloody clothes.  Subplot Maggy McFierce trying to get a conviction of a human trafficker.  She loses but then wins.  The divorced couple almost gets back together, but they are on opposite sides of the adversarial process and work comes first.  Won't be in a hurry to watch Season 2

Brotherhood

 Showtime -- Providence, two brothers, one aspiring politician the other a crook.  Totally different, but not so much.  Cop (close friend as child) is investigating crooked brother.  Pretty good series.
