Set in New Mexico, White Sands is a murder mystery not particularly well-liked by the critics and as a result not very well known. But the setting and the filming are gorgeous (if you like the US Southwest), and the film is full of great characters: M. Emmet Walsh as coroner Bert Gibson, Samuel L. Jackson as corrupt FBI Agent Greg Meeker, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as socialite Lane Bodine, Mickey Rourke as CIA Agent Gorman Lennox and Willem Dafoe as Torrance County, New MexicoDeputy SheriffRay Dolezal. Here's the full movie; enjoy the scenery and don't get hung up on the details!
I use my blogs to make informal comments on policy topics related to my research interests in computer simulation of the US Health Care System, the US Economy, the US Stock Market, the US Financial System, the Wisconsin Dane County regional economy and the World System. I am retired from the University of Wisconsin -- Madison. I have taught Statistics and Computer Science and also served on the UW's HIPAA Task Force and the Bioterrorism Task Force. I have also been a member of my local planning commission, a jazz guitarist and a golfer, so some of that may find its way into the blogs.
