...science is settled? Well, you could always turn to one of the start-up biotech firms that are providing limited genetic testing for about $250. "We have 19 genes we've identified that have a clear and defined response to diet and environmental or lifestyle choices," says Rosalynn Gill-Garrison, a molecular biologist who helped found the Sciona company in 2000. Worried about that caffeine-calcium link? Sciona tests for that, as well as genetic variants that affect insulin sensitivity, cholesterol levels and more...

Within three weeks, Sciona sends back a standard computerized analysis of your survey answers, with a few highlights from or red flags about the genetic-test results.

Why can’t they trace Garrison’s phone records when he goes rogue? Why does Breckinridge clear Garrison after being so certain of his guilt, before he receives the key information proving Garrison’s innocence? Why is the first lady, who should be the strongest female character, a passive slut...
